I watched the video on youtube from Belated Media on “What if the prequels were good” and it got me thinking… With Obi-wan’s line: “…Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine before he turned to evil… betrayed and murdered your father.” how can the prequels ever be watched before ESB? I can’t think of a way to get around this while still watching the Episodes chronologically… Unless you don’t care about the Vader reveal.
Has anyone commented on this or found a way around it?
Personally, watching them 4-6 and ignoring 1-3 is my favorite way to watch the saga right now…
How about this discrepancy
“Owen did not want Luke’s father to fight in the Clone Wars.”
“Obi-Wan says that Owen wanted Luke’s father to stay at home rather than fight in the wars. “He didn’t hold with your father’s ideals, thought he should stay here and not gotten involved.” There is an awful lot of backstory packed into that simple line. First, Anakin was an idealistic young man, so in the prequels we should see some of that idealism. It implies that Owen and Anakin were living together in the same place they both considered home, rather than virtual strangers who met after Anakin joined the Jedi, as in Lucas’s prequels. Owen and Anakin were also close and probably blood brothers, and Owen loudly protested Anakin leaving him and joining the Jedi. Finally, fighting in the Clone Wars also seemed to have been a choice–so there was no draft.”
