Obi-Wan is lying to Luke about his father wanting him to have the lightsabre. Perfectly understandable in the context of what we know now. And isn't the way Alec Guinnes paused before replying to the question "How did my father die?" just perfect? It's as though Lucas had told him the backstory on the quiet.

This is a joke, right?

You'll know when I'm joking.

Watch A New Hope. Watch Alec Guinness's reaction to Luke's question. It's eerie that, although there was no way Alec could've known the backstory, his reaction is exactly the one that someone would give if they were about to lie.
