(Sorry, I've edited this so many times, I don't know what the heck I'm trying to say...)

By writing this story though, you can scrap anything that is said in the movies. You could get around this contradiction by getting rid of Ben's line.



If I were re-writing the saga, I'd keep ANH and ESB, but make changes with ROTJ (except I'd change only a couple of little things in ANH. Instead of saying "parsec" Han says "seconds" or some such, and Obi-Wan wouldn't say, "Only Stormtroopers are so accurate..." into something like, "Only Imperial weapons would leave marks like that" or somesuch).

I'd really write it so that Obi-Wan wasn't a liar (like I originally believed BEFORE ROTJ). This line out of the novelisation for ANH always stuck with me and wasn't contradicted until ROTJ: Unlike Owen Lars, however, Kenobi was unable to take refuge in a comfortable lie.
