You miss the whole bit where Obi Wan has now had the chance to destroy Darth Vader TWICE now, due to this shitshow?

It makes Obi Wan the direct cause of Vader being allowed to kill everyone after that point, AFTER Obi Wan watched him rampage through a settlement murdering innocent bystanders.

"I will do what I must" actually means, "Ill kick your ass and walk away leaving you free to kill more people." LMMFGDAO.

I don't put Alderaan on Vader though, it was Grand Moff Tarkin that ordered Alderaan to be destroyed during his interrogation of Leia about the location of the Rebel base.

He stated that Dantooine was too remote of a planet to make a proper example, so he targeted Alderaan.

But yeah, Obi Wan comes off as a Batman esque dumbass here. His refusal to destroy Vader just keeps allowing him to do horrible shit when he could have ended it entirely.

And I get that ENTIRELY! But the fact of the matter remains that A NEW HOPE is what started this whole ball rolling! This is merely Disney "fluff" to FILL the timeline - nothing more, nothing less and all of your points are completely valid - no argument at all.
