As the thread title says, I’m wondering what the plan was. The PT’s depiction of the Jedi doesn’t seem to mesh with what we hear in the OT. Or Ben is lying through his teeth and Yoda is withholding vital information.
Ben:
Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough… But the Jedi weren’t actually allowed to have children or possessions, so I shouldn’t even be talking about this.
Ben throws the lightsaber over his shoulder.
