To somewhat retract a previous statement, I want to talk more about Obi-Wan's explanation in Jedi about Luke's father. I said before I don't mind the explanation about why he covered it up. But when I first watched it at age 9, and he said, "Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view," I immediately thought, "They're setting up something." But just like the Leia as Luke's sister thing, nothing ever came of it, and I was quite disappointed. I'm not sure how differing points of view would have fit into the story, but the exact wording of the line did make it seem like it would be brought up again later on.

Am I the only person who thought this?
