Oh, please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that was bad or didn't work in a lot of ways. Especially in terms of Luke, it was a huge improvement that Ben died. It's a classic motif (sigh, Lucas has ruined that word) to have the mentor killed off so the hero can stand on his own two feet. And, yes, that's great. It improves the story. Like I said, my only concern was whether or not Ben was in sufficient danger to justify sacrificing himself.
