Why did Anakin......

give his lightsaber to Obi-Wan to pass on to his offspring, when they were hidden from him, and how did he come to the decision? Did he feel the Jedi way was not for him, and consiously join the dark side, and if so his giving the lightsaber to Obi-wan would have been a potential threat to the Dark Side?

My interpretation of this has always been that Obi-Wan knew that Anakin, the person that as far as Obi-Wan was concerned was dead, WOULD have wanted his son,. if he ever had one, to have his sabre after he died.

In honour of his 'dead' friend, therefore, he gave Luke Anakin's sabre as he knew that Anakin would have wanted.

We assume, of course, that Obi-Wan recovered Anakin's sabre after their final duel together.

You're right Ush,
mark, you have to know that GL does things strange, he makes a difference between Annakin and Vader, that is also said in the movie by OB1, with the point of view-lines.

Yeah, Obi-wan beleived that his friend was gone forever.

"He's more machine now, than man. Twisted and evil."

Ben probably will collect Anakin's weapon after the duel, but he may lie to Luke about Anakin wanting to have it. Ben knew Luke was the only hope to overthrow the Empire (and Leia, I guess). So he had to tell a bold story of a hero who was killed by an evil man.

He wasn't really lying, he just couldn't come out and say "Luke, your father is the black devil of death, and he's been kickin' Jedi ass's for decades. And we're next!" 😱

I don't recall that OB1 made Annakin a hero, saying Vader killed him. He just said that Annakin was killed.

Come on, yerssot, he did to praise him as a hero;

Obi-wan: (of Anakin) He was the best star pilot in the galaxy, and he was a cunning warrior.

The best pilot, but OB1 was not on a lot of planets,
a cunning warrior is somebody with talent not that he is going to be the best.

If he wanted to make Annakin a hero, ho would say;
"Annakin was the best pilot of the whole galaxy, he was also the best warrior I have every encounter."

I think OB1 was just saying what he thought about Annakin

Well, we have a difference of opinion, there. 🙁

again... 🙂
This is a small discussion. I just said that OB1 wasn't making Annakin a hero, just a neutral comment of him

I understand, and I know what you're sayin'.

good, cause I understand sh*t from what I'm saying

Don't be so hard on yourself

it's not that I spank myself (luckily)

🙄 🙄 🙄

How typical,

back on topic please

I don't think there is anything more to talk about. 😕

ok, let's talk about you thinking OB1 made Annakin a hero in ANH

Wha???

Now, this I must hear!

To said that OB1 made it look like Annakin was a hero, great pilot and stuff, in ANH; I said he was just making a neutral comment...
