:lol But seriously, I hate that ROTS just made old Ben out to be a casual liar. One of so many reasons I despise that film and the entire PT. That whole conversation between old Ben and Luke in ANH was retroactively reduced to complete bull***t with barely a shred of truth in any of it. Yet when you watch ANH the only part where you sense any possibility that Ben is lying or withholding something is when Luke asks how his father died. Everything else sounds utterly genuine...

Ben was a lying piece of ****!

raw


;)
 
Again, Return of the Jedi made this a problem long before the prequels did though. Obi-Wan straight up lied to Luke anyway you cut it. According to Return of the Jedi, Obi-Wan and Yoda hid Luke and Leia from The Emperor and Vader. Anakin didn't even know he had children. So that whole "your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough" is still BS. That infamous "point of view" thing is terrible, contrived writing and Alec Guinness just manages to sell it. It always made me mad that Luke isn't angry about it. His reaction or lack thereof is awful. He should be pissed that these two old weirdos he placed his trust into lied to him, but nope.

The continuity gets worse with each movie. The saga as a whole, even with the "Star Wars: Legends" fat cut from it is a mess. Return of the Jedi was the harbinger of problems that would plague Phantom Menace and each sequel afterwards.

Obi-Wan didn't even tell Luke that Jedi's are not allowed to have sex but btw here's your dads lightsaber, become a Jedi lol.

After they blew up the Death Star and had that huge celebration on Yavin, you can't tell me Leia didn't bang Luke, Han and maybe even Chewie. You can see it on their faces when the medals are being handed out and the ceremony is over that they're going to celebrate, get drunk and bang. I mean, Luke and Han rescued her and blew up the Death Star AND it was the 70s. Luke atleast got a **** job.


Ben didn't tell Luke any of this because Leia wasn't Luke's sister. Simple as that! Vader wasn't his dad. Jedi could bang if they wanted, they were just Knights not creepy priests. Anakin probably did want Luke to have his lightsaber when he was old enough (again, it was just a sword, not a weapon you had to create like Return of the Jedi or the Prequels would have you believe) but unfortunately got killed during the Clone Wars or something. Luke was just like Peter Parker, being raised by his aunt and uncle.
