Oh God what I geek I am, Goobye all..

[Ghoulish Delight]

The more I think about Obi-Wan sacrificing himself in the context of EpIII, the more interesting it is. Think about it, what turns out to be Anikin's major flaw? His unwillingness to sacrafice someone he loves for the greater good. He does anything to save Padme instead of doing what he must do.

Well, by the time he's fighting Vader on the destroyer, Obi-Wan's learned his leason. He knows Luke is his father's son, and knows he will make that same decission, attempt to help instead of doing what he must do. So he takes that option away from him by sacrificing himself (oh, for the record Moonliner, I was kidding about the "die in front of Luke" thing, I'm well aware of the meaning of Obi-Wan's sacrifice). So that actually ties in really well.

Still a bad movie with bad acting, bad dialog, and bad editing. And if you have to read and view suplementary material to "get it", that's even worse.
