Wow. That is awesome!
The feeling of having Ben go ahead and be honest brings a long forgotten sense of honor to that scene. He's not going to lie!! Obi Wan does not lie!!
Contributing to that feels good-- I want this version of ANH to complete my saga!
BUT
I don't believe this is part of the "Shroud of the Darkside" project anymore -- before giving comments I think we need an "InfoDroid's "A New Hope"" thread.
Then we should probably have a "Ranch-Style Episode I" thread too if we really want to hammer that one out.
But Jeebus help me, that little clip puts the whole Saga together in a new and better way for me. Now Luke's determination to bring his father back from the Dark Side doesn't happen so rapidly. One of my big problems with ROTJ is how Vader is such a bad-ass throughout ESB, but Luke still "senses the good in him" and gives birth to all kinds of sad and bitter-sweet close-ups of Vader through most of ROTJ. The bad-ass Vader is basically absent -- fallen into the void between ESB and ROTJ. But if Luke always knew who Vader was, this transition has a lot more time to work itself out. Thanks InfoDroid!
But enough-- this is SHROUD OF THE DARKSIDE territory!
Long Live Trooperman!
