Let's talk about how effective Ben's character was from the OT to the PT. I think it really ties the trillogies together.

ok

i think ewan mcgregor does a good job, with the beard he even looks like Alec McGuiness although the ob1 in ot seems more humbler than in pt, he must have learnt his lesson.

it was neccasary that he had a beard

I really don't think he was THAT 'unhumble' in TPM; I mean, he was no penitent and he took on too much with Anakin but he is hardly an arrogant *******. He DID apoloigse to Qui-GOn after all.

and then QGJ died, very reassuring!

The Obi-Wan in TPM is very different to the one in the OT. Can you imagine the OT Kenobi saying "What's this?" or being arrogant towards Chewie?

Well, obviously he is wiser by ANH.

And less arogant.

but he still looses fights

Ah but did he really lose or forfit his life for some greater good????

That fight was a deadlock, not a loss.

And I still think people take his TPM comments FAR too seriously.

I agree....it would have been quite a long battle .... they could have gone at it for hours...i think

sure

and then he goes and spoil'n all by saying something stupid like "Bad movie"

Hopefully OB1 will show a slightly more compassionate side in AOTC...

perhaps... but I think that Anakin will take a great role in the movie

Only to have his ass kicked later by Obi-wan

let us hope that it has nothing to do with luck then!

And we should all know that Obi-wan was not defeated by Vader, he chose to lose, and sacraficed himself for the good of the group.

but the powers of the old man had absolutly nothing to do with it

Sorry?

i think the whole point of portraying ob1 in tpm was too show the change he must have undergone by the time we get to anh, all though the arrogance is still their it is toned down and it is more about knowing what will happen, perhaps jedi only reach their potential when they are about to die, that could certainly be said of Yoda, ob1 and even vader, they knew they had reached their potential and it was time for then to die.

In TPM, Obi-wan is still a brash "kid" in many ways....in AOTC he's the one in charge so he had to grow up.

Potential is the ability to do something....having great potential when you die does absolutely nothing for you.

I responded to To's remark that he died by free will so the others could flee...

as an attempt to be funny, I quoted Vader with
"Your powers are weak old man"
Never mind...
you had to see ANH to get that anyway
