Despite what any of us thinks one way or another, the only *facts* of any of this are that a boy named George made up a story, made lots of money from that story, and made some more stories. He didn't care all that much what specifically happened in those stories as long as he was in control of them at some point and kept making money on them.
So while we (myself included) argue whose version of SW revisionist history is right or wrong and best or worst, George is smiling back at the ranch and sipping some wine with Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Speilberg.
PS: I think GL got the Obi-Wan's name 'Ben' from the picture of the man on the little green pieces of paper that his swimming pool is filled with.
PSS: I actually thought, at the time of TPM, that 'Sifo Dyas' was just a psuedonym for SID-I-OUS and that had been who ordered the clones some way or another.
