Fair enough. I have major issues with the Jedi Council, for most of the reasons you've mentioned here. But I've somehow avoided tarring Obi-wan with the same brush - perhaps because I have a bit of a blindspot for the Anakin/Obi-wan friendship, but also because I did think that the movie showed they genuinely were friends. I've always seen Obi-Wan as a little arrogant and manipulative, but not really selfish.

The whole situation in the movie deteriorated way too fast, of course. I also came out of the movie feeling not particularly sad about the Jedi getting annihilated - not the feeling I think GL was aiming for there :)

So yes, I pretty much agree with most of your comments - but I'm (kinda) willing to overlook some of it for the sake of the doomed friendship between A and OW.
