ST Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) in Episode VII

What I mean is, that isn't a new practice... he could have asked for another form of compensation than off Net Profit.

 

Yet Alec, Harrison, Ewan, and others get a pass for their comments.

 

There was a time when Mark wasn't into Star Wars either, around Wing Commander. He wanted to be known for more than just Luke. He was trying to put SW behind him. And I purposely made sure I did not bring SW up when my friend and I interviewed him. Mark had to and he appreciated that.

I have not heard Prowse's comments nor do I wish to, but I am familiar with the others.

Harrison and Ewan had issues with the dialog and filming. And Guiness was irked all anyone remembered him for was Star Wars.

You'll find many folks having issues with these types of films especially if they're not into or prepared for what comes up on set. I mean look at how many times Duchovny goes back and forth about The X-Files? And yet they still want him back.

 

that would have been cool to see and would have made you think he killed the mother which watching III later on, tells you although he didn't kill her, he was the cause of her death.

 

but it's true that with what's canon it works better with mother as Kenobi did not try to redeem him in the movies (unless he tried between III and IV) whereas Padme tried until Kenobi crashed the party.

 

Of course Luke isn't going to kill Han. No one is. They will milk Han like a giant cashcow. I can imagine the eventual "Han meets Star-Lord" spinoff.

 

Shivers.

 

And there was much groaning....

 

Vader might have interpreted Obi-Wan's "the chancellor is evil!" as one last attempt to redeem him by argument.

 

I don't know,
Kenobi doesn't really try to redeem Anakin, he is there to kill him in the first place and while trying to kill him he tries to give him chances to redeem himself which are ineffective so he continues to try to kill him. Luke on the other hand sees the good in Vader and urges him numerous times to come with him and does not intent on killing Vader, so how can Kenobi have had in III the same thought as Luke when the scenarios are different unless the met between III and IV and Kenobi tried to actually redeem Anakin and not kill him.

 

Which is why I would not mind if they did a Kenobi spinoff and Obi-Wan confronted Vader and tried to get through to him cause that would fix that continuity.

 

I actually want them to do a Kenobi spinoff where he confronts Vader (Kenobi Trilogy ), it's my only personal desire from the spinoffs beyond that they could do whatever they wanted.

 

I feel like when the trilogy is over will have a few years of a break and then will get a Kenobi spin off a KOTOR spin off and a TV show focusing on our original trilogy characters directly after ROTJ and in that show they might even pull some Heir to the Empire material. I want to know what Luke did in his prime.

 

But wouldn't confronting Vader earlier than IV hasten Obi-Wan's demise? And throw Luke's training out of continuity - i.e. Luke would not know who Kenobi was...

 

yes, and there are worse things Kenobi did, like not telling the truth to Luke, even when he was on the way to confront Vader on Bespin. What did he expect what would happen there? He for sure knew that Luke was not ready to confront him, so he accepted that he could be killed there. He still had the other new hope, so....(yeah, Yoda was not much better regarding this)

 

I don't know, it's kind of like Luke and Vader fighting before TESB in the Marvel comics. They shouldn't mess with continuity. In ANH Vader says: "I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master." It clearly means they haven't seen since their last encounter on Mustafar, when Anakin had "left" him.

 

I think Obi-Wan knew that he could not control Luke because he did try to do that with Anakin and it back fired. As for redeeming Anakin he fought him just after Anakin betrayed him I think he was more focused on punishing Anakin for what he did rather then trying to save him, he wanted justice for the personal harm he felt and for all his friends that Anakin got killed.

 

but Luke ignoring Kenobi/Yoda and doing what he felt was the right was at the end the good choice. Luke was able to "grow up" and he wouldn't have been wise beyond his years in VI if he hadn't faced Vader and learned the truth (psychological and physical effects of the duel). So there are positives in everything.

 

Or, no matter what Obi-Wan says, there really is such a thing as 'luck'

 

And there you have it, Luke doing what he felt was right and it was.

 

100% agree

 

it is after all advice from Kenobi,

 

Good old Gandalf-Wan-Kenobi, and his vague advice!
