Well I think once you see how they lost in the end (well for the most part) the question becomes "why did they lose" and as you dig deeper into that line of thinking, you can compare how Obi-Wan and Yoda act in the classic trilogy.

One of the things I really admire about Star Wars is how little it holds your hand on these things. Instead of telling you what to conclude, it lets you figure out your own perspective.

I think that's one of the big reasons people tend to talk about Star Wars as much as we do. Because there is so much room for interpretation that hearing other points of view can become almost addicting.
