Remarkable man, your father. Flammable.
Inflammable means flammable? What a galaxy!
blew him?
Look, the old order was different… A couple of dudes out in a tiny space ship for parsecs at a time, forbidden from pursuing true love…
Now stop asking about my secretive order and put on this space blindfold lil orphan boy
You would think two men going to a third world planet and buying an underage slave boy would raise more eyebrows but no one questions a Jedi.
If he hadn’t built the death Star, we wouldn’t know Anakin’s name. He would just be a black box on a list.
He was a victim.
Here Luke, your father wanted you to have this.
His future/present:
His memory of the past:
Imagine if Obi-Wan had just packed a big fat bowl of space weed and told Luke, “look, kid, smoke this because I’ve got some shit to lay down, and it’s gonna blow you’re fucking mind,“ and just told him the whole story. It would’ve saved everyone a lot of trouble down the line.
We would never have gotten the big reveal in Empire, but we would’ve gotten a narratively consistent episodes 1-6, prequels that didn’t suck because now everything that happened had context, and arguably a much better version of Star Wars as a result, as Luke had more than just faith that his father had good in him and could be redeemed, and could actually have a relationship with his sister.
A unified saga of genuine quality across all six films — telling one coherent story about trauma, love, institutional failure, and the possibility of redemption, rather than a fractured plot lines, one of the heroes tale, one of weird bureaucratic failures, traumatized, childhood, and a romantic sub, plot, full of disconnected and incoherent dialogue.
There never should have been more than 3 movies. Maybe not even more than two.

Thank you, haven’t stumbled upon this before (I used to be pretty deep into fan edits of the prequels - it never fixed them, so I stopped. Have you seen War of the Stars?)
I haven’t, but I’ve been meaning to :)
Besmirch not the One True Star Wars film with the wastrel’s plot-holes of the lesser unworthies!
Midichlorians - are right out.
