[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Red Admiral: [qb] I agree with Mim on this, that it was unneccesary to secularize the force in this way. I preferred the explanation that the force, and one's interaction with it, was purely a supernatural and spiritual thing. I see where you're coming from regarding R2, Mim, but it still seems odd to me that Obiwan would dismiss R2 like this in Ep IV. Obiwan also had R4 in AOTC, and to simply say what he did, and in that fashion, almost sounded as if he'd never had any connection or interaction with an R2 unit before. I reckon, that by this advanced stage in his life, the old geezer's losing it upstairs. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't get any impression of Obi-Wan "losing it" from watching the film. He's just as sharp as ever, mentally. (And his lightsaber skills haven't waned much either! :) ) He is simply a master of the half-truth. He spins carefully constructed stories that reveal just enough truth for Luke to react a certain way, but concealed behind just enough deception so that it isn't overwhelming to the boy. (And, so the audience is left without knowing too much! :p ) Obi-Wan never did [i]own[/i] a droid. He only [i]met[/i] R2, and R4 did not [i]belong[/i] to him but rather to the Jedi Order. While you may say that these distinctions are excessive, they only show how crafty Obi-Wan was in giving away a little and holding back a lot. (Another, more prominent example is his story to Luke about his student Vader betraying and murdering Luke's father.) -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
