Just because we like people or characters and just because they are epic at one thing does not make them good at this whole other skillset.
I agree with that statement. People have skills and flaws, and so will characters. With that said, people will idealize their favorite characters regardless of those flaws, because it’s fiction. Characters mean a lot in different ways to many different people, if that makes sense. Personally, I’d rather see Leia able to balance her work and her family life well. Also, I like to see Luke balance his efforts to rebuild the Jedi without repeating the mistakes of the old order, and being happy with Mara Jade, thus with Ben Skywalker along the way. (Yeah and in that timeline, Ben will become an older brother to his younger siblings lol)
Regarding Finnrey, I initially liked the ship before TLJ derailed my fannish interest in Star Wars. I’ll just say that I disagree with your statement, and leave it at that.
I have not thought of Disney Sequels!Ben at all, or Rey. Definitely not them together. (This convo is probably the most I’ve ever talked about him lol) I mainly recognize “Ben” Kenobi from the original saga, and Ben Skywalker from the classic Expanded Universe.
I imagine Leia has an understandably difficult time accepting or forgiving Anakin for what he did to her as Darth Vader, among other things, but gradually, she at least acknowledges him as her father, which eventually leads to letting go of her anger to forgive him. Leia of course has a compassionate heart like Luke, she’s set up more of a realist with a strong exterior. (Meanwhile, Luke shows his compassion more, he’s more like Padme in that sense.)
Now, it would be very interesting if Padme survived.
