Also could argue that Vader was going to kill Obiwan in the end anyway due to Obiwan being so old at the time of the fight.You raise a lot of good questions, Warbler. I’m only pulling this particular point out to note that Mark Hammill is 66 years old while Alec Guinness was 63 in 1977.
I didn’t realize that Mark Hammill is older than Alec Guinness was in 1977.
In case, one could argue the Ren is not Vader and Luke is more powerful now than Obiwan was in ANH. I don’t think Obiwan could pull off that projection trick, and he didn’t inherit from “the chosen one” like Luke did.
