Obi-Wan, of course, is a treasure trove of information in SW:
"I haven't gone by the name 'Obi-Wan' since, oh, before you were born."
Not literally true, but basically true. When he goes into hiding, there are only a few people throughout the galaxy who know his
real name, so I don't think this is contradictory. << OKAY
"[The Force] is an energy field, created by all living things. It penetrates us, surrounds us, binds the galaxy together."
True. The omission of midichlorians in this description doesn't alter the nature of the Force. << AGAIN OK
"Your father wanted you to have this [lightsaber] when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it."
A jedi, upon knighthood, is given the choice to create his or her own lightsaber. A lightsaber being handed down to a padawan
from a jedi knight is an honor. And OWK was prolly right, Anakin would've wanted luke to have it. And if you think its not the same
one, recall after the duel in revenge of the sith, OWK picks up anakins saber before he walks away.
"[Uncle Owen] didn't hold your father's ideals - he thought he should have stayed behind and not gotten involved."
For that matter, Padme didn't hold Anakin's ideals - Anakin belived in the idea of a benevolent dictatorship. <<Correct, but uncle
owen would feel that way about anakin after he met him for that first time. and i'm sure he thought anakin was stupid to abandon
his mother for the jedi order. owen saw her lifestyle and prolly thought he should have stayed and took care of her.
Princess Leia refers to some recent galactic history:
(to Obi-Wan) "Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars."
Bail organa was a senator. he , like padme, were one of the senators who were against the war and all the chancelor's proposals.
He kept in close contact with the Jedi Order as he saw them as the only form of gov't not corrupted. why wouldn't he help Organa
in the war? He doesn't necesarily have to be a Jedi general.
From ESB, Obi-Wan directs Luke to the Dagobah system:
"There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi Master who instructed me."
I don't see what problem you have with this. Yoda trained OWK for a few years until Qui-Gon reached knighthood. then, i'm sure
yoda taught him more. Here's a reference of the Phantom Menace, "But master yoda told me to be mindful of the future,".
Yoda and Obi-Wan discuss Luke's potential:
-"You are reckless!" (didn't he mean, "Reckless, are you!"?)
-"So was I, if you'll remember."
I understand wat you mean with the firstpart, but OWK prolly was reckless before knighthood. as a padawan he prolly was a screw up and tried things on his own. Not to mention OWK went against all the Jedi and the code to protect Anakin from being expelled from the order.
