But the original trilogy tried to show audiences meaning without explicitly telling you what to feel, a philosophy diminished with the digital remasters and flat-out destroyed in the prequels. I'm not trying to say that A New Hope was some form of high art that transcended its blockbuster-friendly space fantasy trappings. In the original, the history of the animosity felt between these two characters-at least in 1977-is mostly unknown, but thanks to Alec Guinness and some great writing, you can feel how an incredible betrayal and the passing years have eroded what was once a friendship. The outcome is the same: Vader beats Obi-Wan and Luke witnesses it happening. This new version certainly fixes that problem with Vader and Obi-Wan entering into an all-out, force-powered lightsaber brawl.īut despite the several minutes of extra action. This fight scene has often been derided as boring, awkward, and unfitting a Star Wars franchise that would eventually have an evil cyborg who could wield four lightsabers simultaneously.
