10 Most Confusing Scenes In Star Wars History

2. Why Didn't Obi-Wan Go Around The Laser Gate? - Obi-Wan Kenobi

In fairness to everyone's favourite Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi had been out of the action-packed adventure game for quite some time heading into the events of his own titular Disney+ series.

Yet, even with that being the case, that still doesn't excuse his complete lack of awareness when faced with a somewhat simple obstacle on Mapuzo.

After managing to stave off the danger brought on by a group of Stormtroopers, with a little help from an uncivilised blaster, the one-time Master of Anakin Skywalker looked to make his escape alongside his former padawan's daughter, Leia.

But, oh no, a laser gate stands between our heroes and freedom!

If only there was a pretty obvious gap on each side of the laser fence for these two quick-thinking protagonists to take advantage of in the moment. Oh, wait. There was.

Had the two heroes opted to hop inside of the transport and continue their journey, then this would've made a bit more sense. But the fact they resumed the mission on foot paved the way for one of the most confusing pieces of decision making ever unleashed into this galaxy far, far away.
