Obi-Wan's death

Why does Obi-Wan simply let himself get killed like this? Maybe I'm a brainlet but I never understood it.

He's a fag who likes the color blue

Darth Vader is a fucking cyborg

Because having a natural and organic death of old age wouldn't have allowed him to become an esoteric and self sustaining force ghost.

1. He knew he couldn't beat Vader again (no high ground lol)
2. He had to distract Vader from sensing Luke (remember, at that point, OW is the only one around who knows Luke's and Leia's lineage)
3. He knew he'd be more help to Luke as a force ghost
4. Guy's been living alone in a mud hut in the desert for thirty years beating it til it bled, and just couldn't go on like that any more

At least, that's what I figure.

ohh… it all makes sense. So that's why Yoder made Luke light saber him through the heart in his tiny swamp hut instead of just dying naturally.

true tbh

...

Why didn't Mace Dindu come back as a force ghost if he was so powerful? Besides the obvious reason - niggers don't have souls

huge if true

That image is why the prequels are kino tbh

...

He did as a gorilla it's in the Special Edition they show him swinging through the trees on Endor. Mace didn't stop to say hi to Luke because he saw a force ghost tree banana on the way …

...

...

He went with the forest.

...

Stupid design coupled with lazy tracing artwork.

He basically let him kill him so his apprentice(who adored him) got the motivation to resist and despise Vader.
Otherwise he'd still be a country boy.
With Obi's death, Luke got a higher purpose in the fight against the Empire.

But in all truth it's a family drama. And ignore the prequels that threw the philosophical implications through the window.
Vader=Father that fell due to material possessions
Obi Wan Kenobi= Wise grandfather figure who sacrifices himself for the greater good but retains the "ghost" form as being in heaven.
Yoda=grandfather image that was superior to Obi and replaces him for the duration of training
Sidious= the dark grandfather image that corrupted Vader
Light sabers=phallic male energy that is used to settle arguments. Just take notice when the sabers are actually used in the OT. Never against menial shit like in the prequels. It's a very special power.

Are you the "LotR is secretly about faggots" guy

Go back to NeoGAF or Resetera with your gay essays

Big Guy if true.

Shit, why didn't Vader sense anything odd having interacted with Leia for the first half of the movie?

top lel

Because most of the lore was written after the movie's financial success, including lots of soft retcons. If the movie were redone from the ground up todays, Obi Wan wouldn't disappear anymore.

All I can figure is that she wasn't as force capable as Luke. Luke practiced bombing womprats. Leia was a princess. How would she practice force? Putting on makeup? Bossing around servants?

Obi-Wan was a brainlet

WOW STAR WARS ISN"T CONSISTENT

You do know that there is a thing called male energy that men use to combat rivals?
The phallic form is the easiest to represent.

Obi decided the force ghost powers were better then waiting for Luke to kill the Emperor.

This guys is right

Well in Lucas's defense, you only see the force ghosts of allies who were connected to Luke. Why don't you see Palpatine's ghost? Unless it is supposed to he implied that he never died?

You do see his ghost. after he is thrown down the shaft a gust of white mist rises and passes over and around vader. given the distance that cant simply be from a physical body. that is unless you follow that stupid clone storyline in the EU

Alec Guinness hated Star Wars and wanted as little involvement as possible so he suggested to Lucas that Obi Wan die

He had no way to win and no way to escape, so he sacrifices himself so the others can get away. Come on guys, this is really not that hard to understand.

B-but muh secret esoteric meaning

The empire did nothing wrong.
