Let's examine the situation, had he told Luke the truth:
Obi-Wan: Luke, just before you were born, your father and I had a large battle on a lava planet. I chopped off both of his legs and one of his arms, leaving only his mechanical arm. He then caught on fire and I stood watching him burn. I decided to leave and left him burning to death in extreme pain on the side of the lava river. But, before I left, I picked up his lightsaber. (Hands Luke the lightsaber)
(Luke looks at Obi-Wan with large eyes.)
Obi-Wan: SO... um, anyway, I thought I might give it to you. By the way Luke, he also wiped out an entire village of women and children jawas and used it to destroy all of the jedi in the jedi temple, including all of the kids, which he stabed through the stomach. So... what do you say?
Luke: ....YOU SON OF A BITCH! VADER DIDN'T KILL MY FATHER, YOU DID OBI-WAN, YOU ASSHOLE! MY UNCLE WAS RIGHT, YOU ARE JUST SOME CRAZY OLD MAN! I'M GOING BACK TO MY UNCLE'S FARM!
Obi-Wan: But, you are our only hope! You must do what you feel is right! You must learn the ways of the force!
Luke: DAMN YOUR FORCE! (Ignites Anakin's lightsaber, and stabs Obi-Wan through the stomach, before slicing him in half.)
(Luke leaves Obi-Wan's, and Vader takes over the galaxy. Luke still eventually meets Leia, who he marries and they have inbred kids together.
)
i know he had to lie but about everything? lucas made a mistake by not adding a scene in the prequels where anakin asks obi wan to give his lightsaber to his son if anything happens to him Originally posted by: battlewars
i dont get why obi wan lied to luke either about the lightsaber thing. it just makes him look like a liar and too much a manipulator now as it stands

) Lucas should go back and film a scene like that in ROTS during the part when he's flying the burning ship
