I’m deffo not loving the idea of Obi-Wan making an appearance. Vocal or otherwise.

Poppa said it best. The scene is beautiful as it is. The imagery and the score let the audience know everything they need to know here.

It’s a tragic victory born out of the sacrifice of a classic character, who’s arc has finally come full circle

I can understand the sentiment of his mentor/father figure making contact in that moment to usher Luke into the afterlife, but it’s just not needed. The emotion of the moment is conveyed perfectly without anything else required?

Also in a more general sense (and not specifically relating to this scene) I think ‘we’ have to be really careful in recycling old lines of dialogue?

If you start implementing that as a solution too often or deploying it where it’s not absolutely needed to overcome a bigger issue, it only draws attention to itself and can pull you out of the experience where it just appears cheap and/or amateur?

The instances that I can remember where that technique has been applied, the most effective examples are where the editor has re-purposed words or sections of original dialogue and made something entirely new out of it?
