I've always wanted to see the Luke/Obi conversation cut completely. It's pure exposition, and I think it's a little too convenient that Obi can pop up any minute and have a long talk, it cheapens his death. His appearances should be mysterious and brief. I think Dagobah should end after Yoda dies in the hut with his last words "there is another skywalker" the fact that you know who ten seconds later ruins the tension. Luke should discover that on his own and it should be revealed to the audience in his conversation with Leia.

 

 Interesting points, Octorox. In the version I'll be posting soon there will be a gap between the yoda and obi scene...so that (IMHO) will help.

As far as cutting it because it is simply an exposition scene...I don't know. I mean, you're right, but it's also been apart of the trilogy for so long...and I remember being very interested in everything Obi was saying...

I'm also wondering if it was cut out completely, that would leave everyone wondering why obi wan doesn't show up at all during ROTJ? Not to mention explaining why he lied to Luke in ANH...

However, the part about Luke finding out on his own about Liea? That sounds very interesting...it might work...
