Anyone else totally disregard Obi-Wan being Anakin's friend?

Yes. I also totally disregard the Jedi Knights guarding the Republic for "a thousand generations," since the Republic itself is only a thousand years old. I disregard Anakin being the best starpilot in the galaxy, since he was actually a race car driver who grew up to be a sword-fighter and only occasionally flew spaceships. I disregard Ben Kenobi serving Leia's father in the Clone Wars, since Kenobi actually took his orders from the Jedi Council, not the Alderaanian senator. I disregard Leia's memories of her mother, since her mother clearly died within minutes or seconds of Leia's birth. I disregard Luke's belief that there is good in Vader, or Vader's admission that Luke was right, because the good in Anakin clearly died when he was a young man, since that young man's ghost returns after Vader dies.

Oh, wait. Those are things that I consider compelling story points. Those other things are the things I disregard.
