[@jedigreg4636]

I remember thinking of it just as a story type thing, but when we found out Vader was Luke's father at the end of ESB and confirmed in ROTJ and going back and watching Star Wars (which was what Ep4 A New Hope was known at the time) we knew there was more to this scene than intended. Then when the prequels were announced this and every tidbit of information form the original three movies about the past were thrown about to be in the new prequel movies by the fans, even the occasional - maybe we will get to see what the Clone Wars were about! statements. I must admit I loved all the foreshadowing in the Prequels and all of the nods to the original movies/etc and know knowing how Obi-Wan became who he is and the same for Anakin, even knowing that Yoda trained Dooku, who trained Jinn, who trained Obi-Wan who trained Anakin was so cool when it was first revealed. The hype and hysteria for the prequels when they came out at the movies was sooooooo big, it wasn't until years later that they became unpopular on the internet. It still perplexes me as they are stories to explain everything and they did exactly that in so many ways.

[@zaphod4245]

Which in many ways was Kenobi's greatest failing. Throughout Ep2 and 3 Anakin refers to Obi-Wan as being like a father to him, while Obi Wan tells Anakin that he was like his brother, but Anakin didn't need a brother, he needed a father figure. This is what makes Qui Gon's death so tragic, he was the father figure that Anakin needed, but Obi Wan could never be, and so Palpatine filled that vacuum in Anakin's upbringing, and filled his head with a very different idea of ambition and justice to what Qui Gon would have, which is ultimately what led to his downfall.

Originally, Vader was a completely different person. But that caused problems in "Return of the Jedi" because in retrospect, Obi-wan DID lie to Luke when he said "Vader betrayed and murdered your father." Obi-wan wasn't being metaphorical, there. It also led to that really awkward "certain points of view" line.

If someone asks you what happened, and you only tell them enough to satisfy them, that's deception without lying. Lying is including or creating something false. In the scene, Obi-Wan does both...lying about Anakin's death, but also leaving out that Anakin had become evil. He chose not to burden a young, innocent farm boy with the truth, because he wanted to convince him to take the path to becoming a Jedi...and giving him the harsh reality of what happened to the Jedi may have dissuaded Luke from it.

[@Christrulesall2]

So what he told him was true, from a certain point of view.

[@voidstarq]

​@@Christrulesall2 Not just "from a certain point of view" -- what he said was already "true" in that way. The point of this retcon is to make it so it really is just plain true. Or at least, to explicitly spell out the meaning of the "certain point of view" thing, as if the viewer couldn't be trusted to work it out for themself. I'm still not sure if I like it. It adds a layer of meaning, which is nice. It absolves Ben of lying, which is nice, from a certain point of view. But in doing so it takes away some of the moral ambiguity, which, from a different (more mature) point of view, I can't help but feel makes the story _less_ interesting. The idea that "It really was Vader who killed Anakin (by taking over his soul from the inside)." was already out there, it was the meaning and the point of Ben's "point of view" line. It's not like it's something original that Disney came up with. Making it something that Vader himself said, rather than an interpretation that Obi-Wan or Ben came up with on his own? I don't know... It adds an explanation that I'm not sure was needed. It makes explicit the interpretation that the viewer used to be trusted to make on their own, and that was more satisfying for them that way. "Absolving" Ben in this way, I can't help but feel, actually _diminishes_ him somehow.

@ He was there at the British Invasion of Sicily.

[@OurFantasyLife]

Alec Guiness was a war veteran who commanded a landing craft during the Invasion of Sicily and was at Normandy on D-Day, transporting troops to the front lines. He was also in Bridge on the River Kwai, and was a Shakespearean actor. If you watch Bridge on the River Kwai, you can see he completely understands a person falling to madness and "Imperial jingoism", so when he's thinking about Anakin, he might be envisioning his own character in _River Kwai_, a man who started out with noble ideals and good intentions, and slowly but surely painted himself into a dark corner.

[@joshuasweeney7863]

Phenomenal analysis, and completely wonderous how Guinness portrayed the character. You have to believe that Lucas told him more about the entire story and timeline that he did any other actor on Ep4. Still, if Lucas didn't, it makes Guinness look even more like a genius.

I always believed that Anakin and Vader were always fighting within, with Vader winning the fight. It wasn't untill when he fought Luke in ROTJ that Anakin rose and defeat Vader, returning him to the light side and betrayed the emperor to save his son.

[@venomgames1077]

The look on Obi-Wan's face when Luke asked how his father died is so powerful man. You can see him gulp as though he's remembering painful things (which of course he is)

[@maruraba1478]

Alec Guinness also giving such a performance based on a few lines, it’s not like he could watch 1-3 and say “got it”. Which amazes me that Guinness can portray the trauma of a movie that hadn’t even happened yet. Such a good actor.

[@derbateman]

@@maruraba1478 He was a war vet fighting in WW2. So we can guess he has seen such horrible stuff in war that he can easily give this look. Amazing actor!

[@TheRowlandstone73]

At the time, Alec Guinness's Obi-Wan wasn't remembering the painful things we're now familiar with. That look of unease back in 1977 was simply him portraying a man who was about to tell a lie to young Luke about his father being dead, rather than telling him he was actually still alive as Darth Vader. Sir Alec's superb acting in that moment though is so full of gravitas and guilt that, in retrospect, it perfectly fits to what we now know what happened.

[@alexgrant191]

@@TheRowlandstone73 Guinness had no way of knowing who Vader really was though. That decision likely hadn’t been made yet & was a closely guarded secret. Well known that only a select few knew the truth - Lucas, Hamill & James Earl Jones (as the voice). Not even David Prowse in the Vader suit knew the truth!

I hope everyone can give Hayden some credit now his emotional portrayal of anakin was amazing no one else can play anakin in my eyes now

[@anorexicbeats2090]

Honestly, the character arch George Lucas gave him in the prequels is so outstanding. George doesn't get enough credit with how he presented Anakin as a kid, then as a teen, then an adult. As a kid all hopeful, emotional and innocent, then a teen all rebellious, still hopeful and emotional, and an adult matured but still has his heart all on his sleeve. His emotions was what drove him to the dark side and it's a great contrast to Luke and how he had his emotions pull him to the light and they were strong enough to not tempt him, but to help him rescue his father from himself. I could go on and on about how the prequels and George Lucas deserve more credit then what they got.

[@wietomeiborg1934]

Ben Scott ever heard of opinions? Plus, Star Wars fans nowadays, especially the ones of your kind simply cannot be satisfied: whenever they rehash old stuff like in Rogue One or The Force Awakens people start to whine about how unoriginal it is, whenever they try something new like with the Prequels and The Last Jedi people complain that it’s not how it used to be therefore worse. Let people think what they want and stop forcing your beliefs down others’ throats. I personally like all Star Wars movies, because each of them give me a different aspect to appreciate them.

Crazy to think that the actor had no idea that was the truth either but still conveyed the pain. The cast and crew didn't know the "I'm your father line" until the day of shooting the scene for Empire.

[@marcw6875]

Yeah, I had to scroll too far to find a comment like this. I know it's creative editing to get those eye movements in the right place, but it really adds to the story he's telling to Luke. If you wanted to, you could not see what Obi Wan is saying as lies (or plot holes for the Star Wars haters out there), but rather sparing a young man the gruesome details about his father. Alas, most people aren't talking about these things, but instead they are coming up with ways to use it to mock the prequels and/or the Disney movies. I guess I shouldn't expect more than that. This is the internet after all. lol

[@ryoku79]

How would you tell him? Not only are you hiding the truth but you might also inadvertently lose friendship with him as well. The way Obi Wan did it here was executed perfectly

[@indiana6941]

He did tell him the truth. Darth vader did kill Anakin, or atleast that's what Obiwan saw when he said his goodbyes to Anakin at mustifar after leaving him there. Only Luke saw that Anakin wasnt really dead.

[@LordTyph]

Even though Anakin and Vader were originally two separate characters when this was written, you can tell that there is something that Kenobi isn’t telling Luke about his father and Guinness portrayed it perfectly

It's a beautiful accident. George was great at extrapolating on existing information from the OT and building the prequels in such a way that it fits extremely well if not perfectly.
