Another quote in hindsight
Sep. 6th, 2011 07:50 amLuke: Leia. Leia is my sister.
Ben: Your insight serves you well. Bury your feelings deep down, Luke. They do you credit, but they could be made to serve the Emperor.
Yeah, that advice worked out so well for the boy's father, didn't it?
I don't blame Obi-Wan, really. Even as an old man, even as a dead one, he's still thoroughly indoctrinated in the old Jedi Order's way... which was "repress everything. Feelings bad." Heck, I wonder if part of his shame over failing Anakin is the belief that he didn't do a good enough job of teaching him that.
"Down in your stomach, Ani. Tight little ball."
