    I guess I can see how it would have fucked everything up to tell Luke the truth at that time. You can see Alex Guinness’ eyes flicker right before he tells the lie, btw. You can almost see him thinking “Fuck me, if I tell this little bitch all the goddamn hell his motherfucking father raised… damn, he’ll flip his shit and think of nothing except how to run his little ass as far from the Force as possible. Hell with it.l Imma lie.”

    Man, just thinking of the mental anguish that Obi-Wan went through in his adult life. He suffered just as much as Anakin, if not more - yet he never fell from his path. After seeing his love interest murdered by the former Sith - who killed his mentor in front of him - he thought he killed, he went a literal decade in exile thinking he killed his best friend, who was complicit in the deaths of thousands of their fellow Jedi and friends, over something that could have been avoided if they didn’t inadvertently play into Palpatine’s umbrella of schemes nearly every time.

    Then he found out Anakin was still alive, and actually responsible for all of the behind-the-scenes action of the Empire.

    Edit: to give credit to Anakin, he was a teenager when he began being fully groomed by Palpatine. Given that Palpatine was one of the strongest force users in all of known galactic history, I think Anakin would have been an extreme Grey Jedi at worst if he wasn’t manipulated by the Dark Lord of the Sith

      Anakin and Maul are both reminders to double-tap any Sith you’re dueling, otherwise you’re gonna torture yourself for no reason.

        Duchess Satine, Ruler of Mandalore. She appears intermittently during the Clone Wars show. Anakin and Obi-Wan kinda had a thing for independent women in power lol

      You say he never fell from the path but I’d argue heavily against that. I mean he didn’t prior to Kenobi but after that? I typically stand by the stance that the only Jedi in the Original Trilogy is Luke and he doesn’t even count until RotJ.

      Obi-Wan and Yoda actively lied to Luke about who his father was. They trained him to kill Darth Vader, his father, in what feels like an act of vengeance for how Vader betrayed them. Now I get it, they do have a justification in saying go after Vader but they were insistent on Vader. Not Palpatine. Sure, Daddy Vader is a problem but he’s not the sole problem. Getting rid of him would hurt the Empire but with Palpatine and everyone else hanging around it is still going to be standing very strong. They also can’t claim ignorance of Palpatine considering Yoda did his ‘Kermit on Ketamine’ sequence at the Senate against The Senate. I mean, for fucks sake, Yoda starts trying to die faster the second that Luke starts asking questions. Obi-Wan, a fucking ghost at this point, is still lying to the poor kid and trying to justify his behavior.

      Now, like I said, I don’t blame either of them. The loss that both Yoda and Obi-Wan suffered was utterly immeasurable but they were not exactly holding strictly to Jedi ideals and teachings at that point. Flowing through them the hate was.
