Well when I was little (I’m younger than the SEs) I didn’t notice that the saber cut all the way through the robe, and never had a problem with the inconsistency. I assumed “something something Obi-Wan something the Force.” So the Marvel version doesn’t bother me.
As for which version I grew up with… I don’t really know. I never owned the movies and just rented them from the local Movie Gallery, so I probably rented tapes and DVDs of multiple different versions depending on what was available.
