"... and he was a good friend."

That line from ANH has be troubled somewhat. From the trailers I see Anakin and OB1 arguing a lot. I doubt it'll get better in Ep3. Will GL ever make that line sound truthful?

friends tend to argue a bit, at least my friends do

i just saw ANH again yesterday and that line bothered me, too. thier friendship probably grew in the 10 years b/w TPM and AOTC and is starting to dissentigrate as AOTC unfolds.

Speaking of dissentigrations, I watched ESB yesterday, too, and Vader tells Boba Fett, "No Disentigrations." Do you think we will have to wait until EPIII to find out why Vader says this?

for big: yep
and for queeq: about that powercoupling-stuff, you have to be friends in order to say that, otherwhise it will be said like:
You stupid idiot! defiing me again? consider yourself fired!

Unless Boba Fett fried people when he was just a kid, I think the disintegration line is self-explanatory- Boba has a reputation for leaving no body. No explanation needed.

rumor has it Boba and Anakin are old friends, now, with EpII we know better, I think

Hey, the trailer is just glimpse of their relationship, but still. I see arguments, Anakin being mad at OB1, I see sarcasm and that all during the entire movie: Coruscant (in the beginning), Tatooine (middle) and Geonosis (end). So there.
OB1's sigh in ANH saying that, did show there was something he yearned for, a close friendship. I don't are if that grew in ten years, we as an audience should see and feel that. Maybe the movie itself shows more.

What's wrong with the sarcasm?

It'd all just surface stuff, I think. After all, Anakin DID come to rescue him...

And a good job that was. 😂

Anyway, you know what I mean: no affection between them yet.

If the trailer gave any real insight into the plot then it wouldn't be doing it's job...

I think we have a LOT of surprises in store, even those amongst us who consider ourselves truly spoilt.

3PO: "R2, I'm your father"
R2: "The name is Clarence!"

now THAT'S a surprise! 😱

indeed.

Judging by what I read here, people are going to be surprised if Obi-Wan turns out to be a nice person... you nasty people, hating him like that...

Well, I don;t. I find it hard to believe NOW that Anakin wil be sympathetic. As for OB1 in AOTC: I like him already!

Anakin will probably be really cockey and try to show off in front Obi 1 in every battle,anakin will be determined to appear more powerful and better than Obi wan,that will make them argue i think.🙄

All boys at 19 are cockey,Have you been in a car with a 19 yr old,this is all Obi wans problems he's dealing with an adolescent who knows how powerful he can be.

I got this from the starwars.com website under the profile for anakin skywalker:

Over the next decade, the two forged a strong bond. Under Obi-Wan's careful guidance, Anakin became a confident, headstrong 19-year old with an impulsive nature and a flair for adventure. His reckless ways would often wear down even Obi-Wan's patience, but the two were close friends. In many ways, Anakin looked to Obi-Wan as the father figure her never had.
As turmoil engulfed the galaxy during the transition from Republic to Empire, Anakin fell to the dark side of the Force. Consumed by evil, Anakin abandoned his past and his humanity. He became Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith, apprentice to the evil Emperor Palpatine.

Sustaining grievous injuries at the hands of his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader required cybernetic enhancements and replacements to sustain him. His pure innocent self seemingly lost forever, Darth Vader cast a dark pall over the galaxy, as he was one of the foremost agents responsible for the elimination of the Jedi order.

that should settle things

Not really. My concern in the first place was: will we SEE this friendship?

a bit in the movie, I think

I wonder if that's enough.
