What the fuck was his problem anyway?

he had to raise someone else's son

Well I'm sure he wasn't the first man in the galaxy to have done that. He should have been grateful for the extra pair of hands.

>Had to raise the grandson on some slut his dad married,
>Farmed water for a living
>Probably felt inferior to step-brother he met just once.
>Probably impotent.
>Had to resist urge to fuck sexy adopted son.
>Never got the vaporators on the south ridge repaired.

>Probably impotent
Wow, way to speculate user.

>Is raising the lovechild of two of the most powerful beings in the galaxy.
>Gets zero money or support in this even though it would have been literally trivial for Obi Wan to hand him a suitcase full of credits.
>The kid he raises turns out to be autistically ungrateful to him the point of not even caring that he's dead.

maybe he was just having a bad day

Was Luke's paltry amount of grief on par with the emotions (or lack thereof) Leia displayed towards Chewie in relation to Han's death?

He was a dirt farmer, raising his step brother's bastard.
A step brother that he met once, and who went on a killing spree. And is now some dark lord.
Also the planet has two suns and has Jawas and Sand People.

He loved Luke like his own son but was afraid of him becoming the next Vader.

Rebublic credits aren't worth shit on tatooine. He needed something more real.

They would still be exchangable, and besides, the Empire was going to expand into that region in a few years anyway.

Owen would have felt miffed that he had to keep busting his ass on that farm just because hippies like Obi Wan didn't think money was 'important'.

He basically had to force Luke to stay on at the farm and help him even though Luke was trying to join an essentially suicidal militant political cause just to get away from there.

His life was fucking shit.

Why do you think obi wan had any credits?

He wasn't a good friend.

>being a farmer on a backwater hellhole
>so shit you want to join a political cult

I think it's fair to assume that having Luke be raised in poor conditions on Tatooine was intentional. Obi Wan was part of a far reaching order, he could have just given Luke to a senator or some shit if he wanted that life for him.

Raising his father's wife's son's son.

Sound like half the anons on Cred Forums.

the idea was to ground him like user but unlike him I honestly have no clue now that I think about it

Austere life creates a better emotional balance?

I mean really where he lived didn't matter since his mere existence is what changed anakin's mind. So he could have lived a cushy life. So the jedi who tried to mind warp his children into murdering him are still shitty shitty people.

He drowned a bunch of horses once and couldn't get over it, which is why he told Luke that maybe he should let the rebels die.

>Austere life creates a better emotional balance?
This is probably the idea. In the OT, Jedi were a lot like Buddhist monks. Both Yoda and Obi Wan are ascetic and live meagerly. Having Luke go through the same treatment might have been a way to foster his abilities from birth.

He and his friends (including the Jedi but also Senators of entire planets running shit in a system of trillions of life forms) would have some.

Money would be fucking nothing to them.

They would have their funds completely on tap, and also a lot of cool shit to sell.

We're talking about making life easier for a literal dirt farmer. It would have been nothing to Obi Wan - even when he was on the lamb he still had Senatorial contacts.

Drank blue milk everyday

Even if he wasn't impotent he didn't have a kid on his own, whatever the reason. Maybe they couldn't afford having another child. Point is, only Luke was around and he was only tempting Owen every day, working on the moisture farm.

In this case why didn't they put Leia in a similar situation?

>In this case why didn't they put Leia in a similar situation?
fucking this. Why the fuck is Leia running around with plans to the Death Star while Luke fixes droids? Probably some answers outside of the movies, but those shouldn't be nessecary to answer the question

If you lived on Tatooine, you'd feel the same way. Also, his ultra qt wife aged like blue milk.

The Jedi don't need personal money. The order/senate gives them everything they need. They're given credits when sent out on missions. Think about the days leading up to Luke being dropped off. Obi wan had no need for credits. They don't all just have jedi credit cards.

Because they weren't even related when he wrote the first one you stupid fucks.

It would be weird if an ambassadorial group DIDN"T have funds to operate with, but even so, he gets his ride to Tatooine with fucking Bail Organa.

Obi Wan is a smart guy. So, he made a decision not to rock up to the Lars Homestead with Luke in one arm and a fat wad of cash in the other.

He made an outright decision. Not sure why. But he did.
