I have read the books and watched all the movies.



Ben is not evil and did not tell Luke to kill Vader or ask Yoda to train Anakin.



As for climbing on the ship with Padme' that was his assignment. If you read the books the council and not Ben chose to treat Anakin as a problem because of his friendship with Palpatine. Palpatine was the problem in that he kept interferring with Jedi business.



The only problem Ben created was one of being a sexy beast of a man and that made Anakin jealous because he thought Padme' preferred the sexy older more mature type. When Ben exited the ship it looked like Padme' brought her lover with her. they cut this out of the film but it is definitely in the book.



A great deal of time was spent trying to get people to focus on Jedi not being able to make love, to give into their emotions and feel love, and Anakin was the big exception and failure to that rule. His jealousy is what killed Padme'.



The huge plot twist that never made any sense was hiding the babies for so long. It is possibe that they thought Vader was dead and the children could defeat the Emperor down the way but it seems as though they hid the babies from Vader thinking he would kill them too. Again that may be jealousy saying that Vader thinks the babies belong to Obi Won. Some how I think that was Lucas' original intent to have the big secret be that Ben is Luke's father. Of Course in the first movie Ben is like the wizard Merlin handing Luke Excalibur and telling Luke he could be king if he rescues the princess. that would mak Hon Lancelot and Leia Guinevere. The Emperor become Morgana and Vader becomes Mordred. This all changed in the second book which turned Luke into Hamlet. By the third book everything was a mess and lucas wanted to go home and raise his children so he ended the saga the way he did and came back when his kids were older to explain to them why the story ended like it did. The second saga is Frankenstein with Anakin as the doctor and the monster.



The moral of it all is we end death by having children.



This is what you get for asking for opinions, I hope it is to your liking.

no they are not double agents. yeah I'm a SW fan and I thought that everything that he said made sense and killing was the last resort because they have seen the evil that dark vader has made through out the years, it was the only way.As for Obi-wan, the prophesy was wrong and they dint know that anikin was not the one and it was necessary for anikin to become evil so the the goodness of Luke would be discovered. Luke was destined to be the savior of the universe, and for this to happen Anikin must become evil...so the mentors had nothing to do with it and they are so not evil..they made a mistake that's all..and they are jedis and not physics

I'm a Star Wars fan (not a FAAAAN! though lol) and I'd honestly never thought of that. Starring this to see what the true geeks say about this.

you have a few things wrong. Kenobi was never told not to train Anakin.Qui-Gon was told not to because he already had a padawan.Yoda approved of Obi-Wan taking Anakin as his padawan after Kenobi was given the rank of master.

Secondly, Obi-Wan never told Luke to kill Vader. He told him that to complete his training, he would need to confront Vader. He was referring to Lukes acceptance of Anakin as his father and all that it would entail to Lukes mindset.

Thirdly, Luke was already too old when he started his training. By the time the end of Empire came about (when Obi-Wan said that), it would have taken even longer to start training Leia, who didnt come to accept Anakin as her father until years after the movies
