Nice.  I understand that some people are iffy on the idea that two of Obi-Wan's apprentices go to the Dark Side, but I think it's necessary.  Besides, maybe he's just not a great teacher - he can't be perfect, right?  And we all pretty much agree that this "NPT" needs to make us look at the OT in a different light.  Well, maybe Obi-Wan wasn't quite as great as Luke thought he was (already hinted at in ESB/ROTJ).

On the flipside, it does help that Obi-Wan's new student was kind of forced upon him, is far too reckless (to the point where he's just not a very redeemable character in the first place), and really would have gone over to the Dark Side even if Obi-Wan hadn't trained him.  He's already taught himself too much of the "wrong way" to use the Force long before he was discovered by the Jedi.
