The interesting thing though is how superbly acted Alec Guinness is, in the scene in ANH when he talks about Lukes father and Darth Vader. In that the response, makes it seem that Kenobi was considering his words carefully and there was a lot more to the story. If you know what I mean?

Lucas was lucky Sir Guinness was such a thoughtful actor. I am sure Sir Alec was thinking "How would I tell the son of my friend how his father was murdered?" The moment of introspection was perfect. Lucas would have had a much harder changing the original story if Guinness had played it differently.

It is too bad Darth Vader didn't understand this when Luke was being bbq'd by the Emperor. The moment would have meant so much more if he merely looked on intently instead of yelling.
