    From a story standpoint, what exactly is the point of keeping the character of Cliegg around and delivering that eulogy? It's like Lucas owed the actor a favor or something just give him a few more lines and not edit it out... it's just weird.

    Again, more evidence that the PT desperately needed some heavy editing in the script. Wouldn't it make more sense to arrive at the homestead to find just Beru there and she tells Anakin that Cliegg and Owen went after the Tuskens? Anakin goes out and finds them, or finds Cliegg dead. Owen is grieving, but Anakin shows little regard for this man who meant nothing to him, and continues on to save Shmi?

    I don't know that Luke would be angry enough to refuse training from Obi-Wan, but, certainly the scenario warrants a more appropriate response than basically saying, "Yeah, that's cool."


    Right.

    Also, I would figure that the whole "Vader is my father" thing would have to be dealt with before he began training with anybody. After all, he has to have a clear mind and all, right?

    So, in one sense, ROTJ seems to say that Luke gained no training from Yoda or Obi-Wan between ESB and ROTJ.

    I still like Obi-Wan, even if he is a liar.


    I truly wish it didn't have to be this way. Do ALL characters have to have flaws? I mean... okay, before the whole "Anakin is Vader" thing, Obi-Wan already had a flaw. He messed up in properly training Vader. He was apologetic, you could tell in Guiness' acting.

    Now, that whole "a character needs a flaw" thing is just a silly rationalisation point to explain the chocky, mishandled story development of George Lucas. I find that depressing. It set a bad precedence for the entire PT. Now because ROTJ allowed this level of "certain point of view" garbagola, it is easy to apply and utilize in the PT. Lucas could've given Obi-Wan antennae in the PT and every little fan boy would leap up and rationalize it. In some goof-ball gushers' minds, Lucas can do no wrong.

    He can, he did, and it started with ROTJ. I am an unhappy consumer now of Star Wars.

    If Luke was getting additional training from Obi-Wan why didn't he ask Obi-Wan about Vader being his father rather than waiting to ask Yoda later? I mean, Luke does, "Ben, why didn't you tell me?" Don't you think that'd be the first thing he'd ask?

    So, it's doubtful that Luke got more training from Obi-Wan in between ESB & ROTJ.

    And if Luke was angry at Obi-Wan, then that would've spoiled any other additional training from anyone.

    I dunno. It's all fucked up.
