The Last Jedi Had The Best Explanation Of Obi-Wan's New Hope Lie
Darth Vader's big revelation in The Empire Strikes Back makes Obi-Wan Kenobi out to be a liar, yet Star Wars: The Last Jedi has the perfect explanation for his account of the facts in A New Hope. Darth Vader being Luke Skywalker's father is one of cinema's most iconic twists and was certainly a shock for the young Jedi, but the truth also significantly shaped his actions to turn Vader against the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. Still, the revelation also made Obi-Wan Kenobi's explanation that Vader had killed Luke's father sound odd, especially considering he would have known the truth. As a result, Obi-Wan's confession that his explanation was true "from a certain point of view" in Return of the Jedi proved flimsy, as George Lucas's A New Hope backstory for Darth Vader was different from what eventually turned up in The Empire Strikes Back.
