Not to riot but...
people are harsh... when seeing anakin and being like he doesn’t look like an 18 year old or whatever age or that Disney did a good thing not de-aging him and let him look like his natural 40 year old self with his wrinkles and crows feet to play Anakin in the past or whatever because that dude looks like he legit hasn’t aged at all... like from 20 or so years ago till now, this guy legit looks the EXACT same, not a hair out of place. And I legit don’t think it’s noticeable AT ALL that he’s not X age. Seriously! People have way too high expectations for what a person looks like at X age... some people look like they’re 30+ in their teens! I have a friend who went grey in his 20s! We got bags under our eyes, dark circles, laugh lines etc etc at all different ages.
Yes, yes, in the movies at X age he looked like X, but really, DUDE looks like HE CAME OUT OF CRYO all preserved for specifically this moment and y’all are like oh thank goodness they didn’t de-age him or why didn’t they de-age him. Like chill. I think this whole fixation on his appearance in relation to his age, outside of like... fan theory (it’s a memory mixed with what could have been or it’s a memory period etc etc) just... sets a double standard for what’s appropriate as to how an actor can look to play their beloved character.
Like... imagine if execs saw that there was so much backlash to him looking too old so they recasted the actor for the character in that scene just cuz he looks similar enough and is young when the main dude is right there looking like that-- perfection-- Anakin to the tee!!!!
... Also, it’s harmful to people who do look a certain way to read stuff like this about appearances at whatever age. Plus, I think it’s awful that actors/actresses may see stuff about their appearance... like even if it’s not meant as an insult... oh nice they didn’t de-age him and he has his wrinkles... it takes away from the immersion... Obi-wan looks younger than Anakin... like wow, ok.
We’re witnessing an epic tale of love, failure, fear, conflict, stars, wars (i know, i know lol), evil, light, telekinesis, psychic lightning, you freaking name it, in space with hot ninjas yielding a rainbow array of laser swords talking to a chia seed bernie sanders looking gremlin sporting a horrible combover encompassing numerous planets and various different governmental bodies and every vehicle imaginable and a Gillette Ladies Razor refitted to be a communicator and that’s what’s got your bantha? ok...

SITH! OBI-WAN & ANAKIN SKYWALKER | WHAT IF? STAR WARS
BY ME.
I always liked the idea of Obi-Wan corrupted by the dark side, so i made this. Star Wars really needs a what if show.
