I watched a New Hope today. One thing I don't get is why did Obi Wan let Darth Vader kill him?
>>
>>64108133
How about allowing the protagonists to escape?

>SE lightsabers
Jesus christ
>>
>>64108133
to become more powerful than Vader can possibly imagine.

A disembodied voice that will deceive a boy into killing his father.
>>
Obi Wan was holding up Darth Vader so Luke could escape. by killing himself Obi Wan made things more difficult for them.

bravo lucas!

>>64108167
Would they be unablr to escape if he kept fighting?

Luke would have never left Obi-Wan "I have the high ground" Kenobi behind, so, yes.

Untrue.

There was no high ground there, so he just gave up since Vader is taller.

this.
Vader should have just defeated Kenobi. what the fuck was Lucas thinking.
>>
>>64108133

He knew he would be able to help Luke more as a Force Ghost then an old man.
>>
To provide incentive for Luke and to be able to guide him as a Force Ghost

I dunno

He became one with the force and was able to show that to Luke, fully setting Luke on the course to becoming a jedi since he would accept that the force is worth being committed to. That was more useful in their struggle than him staying around as an old man.

LUCASSSSSSSSSSs
>>
>>64108133
I always thought that Obi Wan and Yoda planned it that way, that in order for Luke to become a Jedi he had to be motivated by Obi Wan's death. Obi Wan knew he would become a force ghost and he and Yoda basically used Luke.
>>
>>64108133
because he knew he wasn't the one who is supposed to defeat Vader
>>
He literally tells Vader if he strikes him down he'll become more powerful. He needed Vader to kill him so he could help Luke.
>>
I also watched it and was amazed at how great it was. Very few things I'd change about it

At the beginning, Luke said when meeting Ben "isn't Obiwan dead" and Ben chuckled, saying "Not yet.."

He knew he was going to have to sacrifice himself to give Luke that extra kick into believing and following the path of the jedi. Anakin started his path of darkness with the death of a loved one (his mother). I'm guessing Obiwan used the death of a loved one (himself) to make sure Luke would never join Vader

Except Obi Wan planned on going to Alderaan, it would have been a completely different movie if Tarkin decided to hold off on destroying a planet for no other reason than "muh evil"
>>
>>64108675
Needs more Will Smith tier comedy
>>
>>64108682
What does Obi Wan's plan to go to Alderaan have to do with the fact that Yoda and Obi Wan failed to defeat Vader and the Emperor, so they concocted a plan to use Vader's children against the Empire? According to the prequels Obi Wan and Yoda had been training to become force ghosts, Obi Wan knew what would happen if he was killed and knew that Luke had to become a Jedi. His death allowed them to escape and drove Luke to seek Yoda out and train to be a Jedi. Luke and Leia were their plan all along, Obi Wan and Yoda had no intention of facing Vader or the Emperor again. That's why Obi Wan sacrificed himself, to ensure their plan could succeed.
>>
>>64108133
He didn't, he used super speed (as shown in TPM) to quickly take off his robes and run away. Later when he appears to Luke he's just a hologram.

If a fucked up Vader could easily beat Obi Wan then there would be no sense in obi wan having defeated him early on his prime. The point was if the duel took any longer everyone would get captured

I always liked this scene even when I was younger

Something was just really magical and mysterious about his disappearing trick

You know, if Ben didn't die Luke wouln't just leave him behind.
Ben knew he have to die or else everyone would die
>>
Why didn't Chewie get a medal?
>>
>>64108541
Yes it does?

In the prequels Obi-Wan was at the peak of his power.
By the time he faced him again in ANH he was an old man who had not trained for a long time.

Plus he knew that it was up to Luke to defeat him.

Also by becoming a force ghost he was able to then have the high ground compared to whoever it is he was talking to
>>
Is Obi Wan really a good fighter? All the fights he wins in the prequels are pure luck.

>>64111115
He is the best soresu style fighter in the galaxy, he IS soresu

He is also the ideal jedi.

he defeated Maul and Anakin. although one could say that Anakin defeated himself by not controlling his anger.

My bad, I was meant to quote the anon above you
>>
>>64108354
No he didn't, he gave Lucas the idea of killing his character off though
>>
>>64108270
He allowed himself to die right after he saw Luke stop because he saw them. If he'd continued fighting Luke would have refused to leave.
>>
>>64108541
Vader had just turned in the prequel and so wasn't properly trained in using the Dark Side. Vader when they fought again had been a Sith for twenty years and Obi-Wan in comparison was well past his prime and out of practice.
>>
>>64111451
And vader was totally in practice from the last laser sword battle he fought 20 years ago
>>
>>64108675
Obi-Wan couldn't beat Vader.
>>
So that he could help Luke fire the winning shot. In ghost form, he was able to land a hand in that crucial moment. He made sure that powerful, but inexperienced Luke would be able to actually use the Force in a skillful way.
>>

He hunted down all the Jedi that survived Order 66 other than Yoda and Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan even says it in the OT.

This. Rebels is canon too, so he was fighting and killing Jedi even up till 5 years before ANH.
>>
>>64108133
Is everyone in this thread a retard? He did it to motivate Luke to eventually avenge him. It was a risky gambit, because it exposes Luke to the emotions of the dark side, but it also makes Luke all the more powerful thanks to a newfound drive for revenge. Remember Episode VI was originally titled "Revenge of the Jedi" when it was in production.

For anyone who is still not understanding, it's essentially what Itachi did to Sasake in Naruto but for good reasons.

It doesn't though? They're just the only ones that know each other are alive because they both met up.

Plus one of them, Ahsoka, wasn't a Jedi when the shit went down, and another is a kid who gets trained as a Padawan during the series.
>>
>>64108133
Balance of the force
Luke will become OP so Obiwan kill himself so the force is balance.
>>
>>64111751

They needed a character to test Anakin's medichlorian levels
>>
>>64111763

Who trains her?
>>
>>64111781
If you mean the Padawan it's a him, he get's trained by the only one who was actually a Jedi. Ahsoka was trained by Anakin, but left the Jedi before III, and so she's still got the training from when she was Anakin's Padawan.
>>
>>64111778
I still dont' get the fucking reasoning behind that. Why the fuck couldn't he have just sensed Anakin had a really obvious connection to the force already as a kid and that that meant he had absurd potential.
>>
Vader never did learn that Obi-wan was referring to moral high ground. Becoming a ghost was something he never imagined.

Honest answer, I always felt like Obi Wan thought he had failed Anakin and had lived the rest of his life regretting it and feeling responsible. So he kind of did it to punish himself.

>>64111754
Force Ghosting is much more elegant than the crude radio transmissions of the modern age.
>>
>>64108133
How can you be this stupid?

The others needed to escape.
Luke stopped and would likely have tried to save Obi Wan.
Obi Wan knows this so he lets himself be killed so that Luke has no reason to stay.
Everyone escapes.
>>
>>64111669
A fighting style which advocates staying on the defensive until your opponent fucks up and gives you an opening to strike. Its the in-universe explanation for why Obi Wan just let Anakin drive him back until he had the High Ground.
>>
>>64111584
I do believe that Return was the original title, the guys funding the film thought Revenge would be better, but it was shortly before release that the title was returned.
>>
>>64111733
I find it hard to believe robot Vader would be a threat to the agile acrobatic Jedi of the prequel. He just lumbers around clumsily and hacks at enemies like some drunken gorilla.

Maybe Sidious just let him continue like that as a joke.

And Vader was a fucking cripple in a robot suit.

Stop trying to excuse Prequel trash.
>>
>>64112295
He was only like that because it wasn't the prequels though. If they had prequels style fighting Vader would just dominate them through really fast and skilled strikes and parries and so all their flipping around wouldn't mean shit. In fact it would ironically be much like the high ground scene. Try flippy shit, get fucked up.

Robot suit would logically just make him stronger though.

That was in the movie too brosef.

Pretty sure this is how it works in the novels. He strikes were absurdly fast and strong in a lightsaber fight, and you couldn't overpower him in a force contest, so every Jedi that went up against him got wrecked.
>>
>>64112951
I sometimes forget yoda actually mentions it
but it's fairly vague
also, in the film anakin hears qui-gons voice; the way it's shot, it looks like he's dreaming or reminiscing or something (doesn't help the soundbite is sampled from Phantom Menace), but guess what it's qui-gons force ghost talking to him

For anyone TOO FUCKING STUPID to articulate this themselves, when Obi said being struck down would make him more powerful than Vader could possibly imagine, he did not mean he would become a mischievous ghost.

one of the lightsaber combat forms.
it focuses on defence and using the strenght of the opponent against them.
obi was the master of this form.

it allowed him to keep up with anakin even though he was weaker.

although dooku's dueling form seemed to be the counter to obi's as dooku kept reking obi
>>
>>64114823
Dooku should have been the main antagonist of the prequels god dammit
>>
>>64108279
Luke would have probably went back for him

because the others needed to escape, weren't going to leave him behind, and the fight with Vader was going to take too long.

Luke and the others would've been captured if they kept fighting and Obi Wan knew he probably wouldn't beat Vader.

>>64111584
>Is everyone in this thread a retard?
Yes

Correct

>It was a risky gambit, because it exposes Luke to the emotions of the dark side
And that makes sense because Obi-Wan was admittedly a shitty teacher that takes credit for fucking up Anakin.

Remember Episode VI was originally titled "Revenge of the Jedi" when it was in production.
Yes

I can't believe it took this far into the thread to get the right answer. All this shit about force ghosts and being able to train luke is brain dead.

Cyborged up Vader with mastery in the force. There is no reason to believe he should have been weaker. As there is no reason to believe Obi wan had become weaker in old age- that's not how the Force should work imho

Either
A) Obi-Wan knew he could not defeat Vader so he put on a spectacle to draw the Stormtroopers away
B) Obi-Wan could defeat Vader, but it would mean Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, and the droids would not be able to escape. The Death Star plans would never get to the Alliance and the Empire goes on to rule through planet-destroying fear.

What is the point of this? That they look the alike? Shmi, Padme and Rey's mom are all unrelated.

1. So he could be a force ghost and guide Luke
2. So Luke would leave. Luke would have tryed to save him otherwise.

But he still acted in the movie anyway.

I'm pretty sure you're full of shit.

that's what you're going with?
not this?

>>64108133
To allow luke to escape and to motivate luke to defeat the empire

A better question is why does Vader go for the kill?

With all we know about them now, why wouldn't he want to capture Obi-Wan? Force pull the lightsaber from his hands and turn him over to the Emperor

The truth is Lucas had no plan
>>
>>64123117
Sheev had no use for him. He was too old and rooted in Jedi beliefs to be made apprentice.
>>
>>64108133

Scotty just beamed him up at the exact right moment to trick Vader into thinking he died. That's why he comes back as a hologram later, because he's in hiding and can only communicate using long-range holograms.
>>
>>64123494
So he's the Jedi equivalent of Snoke?

Obi Wan always has the high ground. He let himself die so he could train Luke from a higher plane of existence.

if you were to punch someone who is less privileged than you but has the high ground, would it be considered punching up or punching down?
>>
>>64123546

Yeah, basically. The Jedi are notorious cowards, really. Yoda got beamed up, too, because he was afraid the Empire might find him on Dagobah and was unsure Luke and the rebels could win. That's why when he "dies" even his clothes disappear.

>>64119444
the point is literally 'who is her mother'

Pay attention to the fucking movie and you'll understand

A mod for Jedi Academy called Moviebattles. You can slaughter younglings /v/'s favorite star wars game

he actually liked it a lot but got sick of manchildren over the years
>>
>>64111860
This. Vader was able to say of Luke "the force is strong with this one" while he was chasing him down the Death Star's trench, so surely Qui-Gon, sat calmly next to Anakin could pick up on the boy's force capabilities
>>
>>64117434

looks pretty fucking good to me
>>
>>64111860
Maybe because he wanted wanted to gauge it more accurately? Think about your last visit to the doctor. Everyone can tell you're a fatass, but they weigh you anyway.

Obi Wan had no choice, look how much lower ground he has than Vader
>>
Vader kills Obi-Wan in Episode IV

Obi-Wan kills Anakin in Episode III from a certain point of view

Poetry in its purest form.

>>64123962
its either leia or luke

>>64108133
Gotta balance the force dude
>>
>>64108133

the jedi are a death cult

He didn't. His disappearance was all part of the plan to immerse himself in the Dark Side to destroy it, and resulted in him becoming Snoke.
>>
>>64111051
Obi could have ran and joined the others to escape
>>
>>64111584
Nice fanfiction. Obi could have motivated him by telling him that Vader killed his father. Which he did, only as a ghost since he went and died for no reason.
>>
>>64123299
Have no use for him? He was directly connected to the Rebel Alliance. Why else would Princess Leia be headed to Tatooine? Torture him, maybe get some information out of him, ransom him to the Alliance (and set a trap in the meantime) etc.

Granted they probably should have locked the Falcon down and sent Star Destroyers to Yavin IV in advance of the Death Star, but whatever
>>
>>64108675
obi wan couldn't bring balance to the force, only vader
>>
>>64126572
He's been a hermit for years, he wasn't up to speed on intrigue. His only potential worth was as lure for a trap as you said, but even then unless Vader stood guard over him directly, he'd cause more trouble than he's worth.
>>
>>64108133

Because he's old and could be more help in training Luke as a force ghost
>>
>>64108133
I don't know why this was changed. In the original script and novel, Vader just lands a lucky blow and kills him fair and square
>>
Obi Wan wanted to prove the trancendent nature of the force to luke and Vader
>>
>>64117070
And Count Dooku fucked up Obi Wan every time and he was old as shit
>>
>>64108639
Or that's just a joke old people make
