That's why Leia says "You're who"? when Luke introduces himself. Why is this common slave rescuing me? Unless this is explained in the movies, you're just a fanboi apologist. Besides, if the stormtroopers were still clones at the time -- it's unclear, but replacing all stormtrooper dialog with Jango Fett's actor suggests it -- then a short stormtrooper is defective, and no stormtrooper should have an actual name.

Arpy 4,145 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I think that's one of the reasons why Owen kept Luke from joining the academy, Luke's name was too recognizable, and he had a duty to protect him from the Empire and discovering his heritage.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I preferred to think that the stormtroopers were young male humans drafted from planets conquered by the Empire, but truth be told, there were enough positions in the Imperial Army and Navy to use the bored young population that the clones would be used as the elite faceless troopers. Who couldn't shoot worth shit. Between Obi-wan saying Imperial stormtroopers were precise and the white lies about the Anakin, he was really a misguided old coot. 3 minutes ago, Nick1066 said: As a desert world, Tatooine had big skies, hence, "Skywalker".

Chen G. 3,949 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 11 hours ago, Philippe Roaché said: George never got it wrong with Ewan as Obi-Wan. Most people praise him as the highlight of the PT. He was excellently written, directed, choreographed and performed. He was a bold one. I never got that. I mean, McGregor is an actor who can work without any direction and just do his own thing; but its not like its great stuff, really. But when you're "okay" surrounded by crap acting, you seem great by comparison, I guess. If anything, the best thing in the prequels is Ian McDiarmid. That guy is on fire! I think part of the issue for me is that, the way Anakin is behaving in Attack of the Clones, is such that it also brings the bad out of Obi Wan's character, like when he scoulds him in front of Padme. Its just awkward. And, having argued with him that they will only protect the queen without going after the attacker, he leaps out, sorry I mean, through a window to do just that.

We know Kenobi dropped Luke off at his relatives, and we know where he was 19 years later (I'm not sure where you're getting 30 years from). Have we been told what he was doing in the interim? Certainly he was on Tatooine for a good deal of that time, but I'm not sure it's been established that he never left the planet. Okay 30 years was wrong. But he was there for a while in the beginning and he obviously lived there for a bit before ANH. Why would he leave, especially if he was to watch over Luke and if he wanted to stay away from the Empire.If he did leave, where would he go and why, and why would he come back? It is generally assumed that he stayed there but now I think we're second guessing that because a movie is imminent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, and he never left? Once? Does the cannon show Rebels say so? What are all those spaceships and stuff for? I was in the UK three years ago, that doesn't mean I've never left during that time. That Obi-Wan came to Tatooine and never left a single time is a truth that depends greatly on your point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If Jerry hasn't heard about the Star Wars canon you speak of, either by watching a show or reading a novel, then it probably doesn't matter. I'm never going to get into the expanded universe and all things canon. I'm never going to read about Canto Bight or Captain Phasmas biography. I'm going to watch the movies. That is the Star Wars I know so I really don't care if it's canon if it doesn't have a Williams score (or Giacchino or Powell and sometimes Kiner) I don't give a bantha fodder about it.
