Honestly, it seems to me like you enjoy reading lore and listening to what George Lucas says more than you actually do watching the films.
There's no point in discussing the issue with the poster in question. He literally believes that Obi-Wan wanted Luke to kill his father. it's both absurd and hilarious considering he touts himself as a Star Wars master yet has little to no idea of what the Jedi code entails.
The goal is the destruction of the Sith. Obi-Wan doesn't need to mention killing. Luke does, and he doesn't tell him no. He reinforces the idea that that is what Luke must do. What you just wrote is not informed by Obi-Wan's words. He believes Anakin dead. Luke realizes that isn't the case, because his father reached out to him through the force, and he felt the good.
Yes. Like multiple posters here. That you think this is an odd theory in the Star Wars community, is strange to me, no doubt. I continually show the text to prove my point, but you ignore it, which leads me to believe you cannot refute my argument. It's the same with the constant insults.
I don't need to insult you. I'm just clarifying your inability to accept that you don't get the Jedi. You probably would have liked for Windu to execute Palpatine if you didn't already know Palpatine survived the PT. You probably enjoyed Anakin executing Dooku. You think the Jedi are badass warriors who take out the bad guys and win the day.
Windu executing the Sith lord would have resulted in there being no Empire. Of course I would have wanted him to do it. Anakin "saving" Palpatine, results in Order 66 and the oppression and death of countless planets and people.
I like how you take any credit away from Sheev or Anakin there, and ignore why Anakin falls to the dark side. As Lucas had Anakin put it, "I'm not the Jedi I should be".
If Lucas was infallible why was the film ever named Revenge of the Jedi? Why did Luke make out with Leia? Why did he need to be reminded that Obi-Wan needed to claim Anakin's laser sword in RotS? Why did Boba's origin as a Mando change multiple times? Why has he constantly changed his films, including changing the context of Han and Greedo's meeting? More over, if you believe what Lucas says/writes, why are you ignoring how many good and proper Jedi go about killing folk in Star Wars, even if it's not the "Jedi Way"? And if Obi-Wan is one of those "bad Jedi", why do you continue to argue that he's telling Luke to do the "correct" thing, when he spent so long doing the incorrect thing, including after this show, where we know he kills Maul? He also helps guide Luke to blow up the Death Star, killing tens of thousands. An anti-Jedi move according to you.
Do you read what you write? You say Jedi don't kill. You do understand what that means, right? You said you're from Denver, implying that English is your first language.
Thank you. Your great jedi knowledge showed me the way of saying what everyone's been saying all along, just worded slightly differently.
You literally edited my post, to lie about what I wrote. Seriously?
It's about how episode 6 informs the OT, including episode 6 (punny). Where Obi-Wan definitely wants Luke to kill Vader, but refuses to do so here. Refuses to even take him prisoner, instead leaving him to continue his reign of terror.
Might get probation for asking this, but I thought that warning was about gatekeeping, not about discussing...
Luke says something similar in TLJ deleted scene. Rey can run off and kill the bandits, but were does it end. The bandits could have friends and allies that will retaliate. Will Rey be there to protect the tribe when the retaliation comes? Will she always be there to protect the tribe? If not she could make things worse for the tribe in the long run by attacking the bandits.
He does that so Luke and his crew will escape. If not, they will try to save him, and that wouldn't work out.
