Does Kenobi now say "I wanted you to have this when you were old enough."
I have been following this thread with great interest and admiration; but I feel compelled to jump into the mix because of this particular modification.
Granted, it is a trivial change execution-wise, but there is very little justification for changing the original remark. In fact, there is MORE reason not to change it. The original wording is entirely consistent with Obi-wan's mindset and agenda at that juncture of the story.
I would like to argue that, "Your father wanted..." is contextually correct, logically correct, historically correct and requires no change.
It is easy to fall prey to "thinking too much" the more deeply you commit to a project, because you will inevitably become hyper-sensitive to details. I do not presume to know Adywan's mind, but I wonder if he needs to distance himself from the work for a short time. I often have to do this in my own writing and research projects. I am a perfectionist and I work intensely for long periods, but eventually I must put the work down and FORGET IT until my mind and imagination are refreshed again.
I guess what I am saying in my very first post at this forum is that this particular edit has all the markings of "thinking too much"--a phrase that my students like to use when they fear I am micro-analyzing or becoming too serious. Or am I being completely obtuse?
This notwithstanding, I am enthused about Adywan's project, and wish him all the best in his labor of love.
Happy holidays
