Another little continuity issue is from the scene where Obi-Wan's spirit and Yoda are discussing Luke's age, and Yoda says he is too old to begin his training, to which Obi-Wan answers "Was I any younger when you taught me?" Which leads us to believe that Obi-Wan did not begin his training till he was around Luke's age. Nothing wrong with this in itself (other than the whole prequel idea of training starting with "younglings"), but if I am not mistaken (and I very well may be) I believe Yoda gives one of the excuses for not wanting Anakin to be trained is because he is too old. At the age of nine. If this is right than Obi-Wan being near Luke's age was WAY too old.
