Corax78 posted:Seriously his height at 14 bothers you? I was 6'2" at 14. Taller than all my classmates and all but one teacher in my school. I was well taller than my own mother and the same height as my dad. But oh no that's impossible Ben almost as tall as Luke? Come on Ben is considered a Jedi Knight b/c he survived Jacen's Sith training while becoming the moral compass for the entire New Jedi Order. Yeah he deservres to be knighted, but if you think it's nepotism pretend Saba knighted him

Yeah he deservres to be knighted, but if you think it's nepotism pretend Saba knighted him It's not just his height, that's just one other thing that ticked me off if read my whole post, like they're trying to make you forget he's only 14 and not 21. I'm not sure if Jacen and Jaina had even begun their official Jedi training yet. Obi-wan being a padawan at 25 was average. Anakin feeling disappointed he wasn't a Knight yet at 20 was thought to be bad. Being a Jedi Knight isn't about power levels, it's much more than that. Yes he came back to the light, and yes him knocking sense into Luke and redeeming Tahiri were great, but that's not enough. Reading INVINCIBLE, he was taking himself way too seriously, and still didn't seem to get some stuff, like Jaina remarking how Ben wasn't thinking like a Jedi when he ran away from them. The kid was trained on how to be a Jedi for most of his life by Jacen Solo, who clearly didn't know it himself or had lost sight of it by the time Ben's training began. He was definitely on the right path by the time LOTF ended, but he wasn't there yet. BTW, maybe I should let you all know that I'm 5 feet 4 inches, 19 years old, and the tallest person in my family and out of my friends.

See the whole height issue doesn't bother me; but I see where you are coming from with actually making him grow up. But if you want to get technical didn't Ben only get 5 years of training? But if you look at it Luke only trained for 4 years before he was a Jedi Knight.
