And Yoda was his instructor. Yoda trains all the Younglings before they're taken by a Master as a Padawan.

So what Obi-Wan said is true, from a certain point of view. There's also no reason for him to mention Qui-Gon to Luke. Or go into details about that stuff. He can't help train him, he's dead. And likely moved on after teaching Obi-Wan and Yoda how to retain their identities after becoming one with the Force.

How come Leia remembers her real mother, the one that died when she was very young and Luke doesn't, he was born barely 10 seconds before her.

She remember emotions and the like, she doesn't really remember what Padme was like. It is odd that one child would remember something like that and the other one wouldn't, though.

The Force. As noted in the RotS commentary she's active and awake as an infant when she sees Padme.

Where as Luke has his eyes closed and doesn't have a real bonding moment with Padme.

Also Yoda: "Through the force, things you will see. Other places. The future... the past... old friends long gone."

Plus as Gandalf said, as Leia notes... all she remembers is mostly images and feelings.

LUKE: Do you remember your mother? Your real mother?
LEIA: Just a little bit. She died when I was very young.
LUKE: What do you remember?
LEIA: Just images, really. Feelings.
LUKE: Tell me.
LEIA: She was very beautiful. Kind, but sad.

well, she remembers that she was very knid, but sad, I know I am not Force attuned, but i don't remember what my Mom was feeling when I was inside her. Also, if Luke is the most powerful of the twins with the Force, he should be the one remembering.

[Batman1980]

I also wonder how many of the Jedi got away and why they didn't try to help Obi-Wan and Luke and Yoda, guess they figured they were safer in hiding, where Anakin couldn't get to them.

I never felt that Luke was the most powerful. Just different.

I always felt that Leia was much more poweful than Luke. Considering she was Yoda's back-up plan.

She was right in the presence of Darth Vader and likely even The Emperor for years.. and they never detected her. Even when Vader was torturing her on the first Death Star, he never sensed a connection.

Guess they were blinded by pride, she is clearly the daughter of Padme Naberrie, not to mention without training her Force powers should've been like a look at me beacon for anyone with sensitivity to see.

Anakin was clearly very powerful when Qui-Gon encountered him.

Plus Vader noted that she was very resistant to being mind probed after her torture.

But yeah, I guess most untrained individuals arn't nearly as obvious as Lil Orphan Ani.

Otherwise, the Jedi's wouldn't need Midi-chlorians scanners to confirm their potential.

[Batman1980]

Luke never struck me as that powerful in the movies, it took a blind fit of rage for him to overpower Vader. Still think the younger Anakin would've owned his son in the amount of time it would've taken him to Force jump and swing his sword. Untrained individuals aren't obvious? How did the Jedi Council and the old Sith armies come to be then?

Provided Luke didn't have the high ground of course.

Anakin in his prime, without the cybernetic components would have slaughtered Luke.

Especially since Vader couldn't even use Force Lightning due to the damage of his body and the suit.

Anakin's only downfall in the prequels was giving into emotion when fighting Obi-Wan.

I was considering getting the blu-ray but now that quote from him has been laid out, no thanks. I'm sure the deleted scenes are nifty, but I'll pass.

With other blu-ray entries like Blade Runner, the Alien films and Apocalypse Now ALL featuring theatrical and special editions on the format, Lucas comes off like a chump. Come on George, just cough it.

Yeah, this is what's so baffling about him. He is just so behind the times nowadays.

And regarding not including deleted scenes into the movies themselves. Apparently NOBODY still has not told him about seamless branching on DVDs and BDs YET!!!

During an interview back when he finally started releasing his SW movies on DVD, he said how cool it would be if you would be able to include two different versions of one movie onto one disc. WTH?!

Luke never had the training necessary to pull off something like that though, the only reason Obi-Wan did it is because he had used that technique against Maul in the past. I actually think the Jedi smothered Anakin a bit, which just made it easier for Palpatine to corrupt him and get him to switch sides.

Definitely.

And of course, Palpatine manipulated everyone to ensure that Padme was away and Jar Jar would call for the creation of the Army. Palpatine's plans in the prequels are damn intricate and devious.

Gosh, you made me want to watch The Phantom Menace so bad!

Back to the Force Ghost comments again for a moment. Anakin's appearance may also partly be due to Obi-Wan and Yoda as well. I always found it funny how Obi-Wan and Yoda smoothly appear and Anakin did not. He sorta shudders into appearance. It sounds like they may have had some influence on him appearing as a Force Ghost as well. Hence why his appearance is also what they remember. And not something they wouldn't recognize.

George Lucas has since indicated (on the Revenge of the Sith DVD commentary) that the appearance of Vader's former self, Anakin Skywalker, as a Force Spirit at the end of Episode VI is due to a combination of Anakin's own latent Force ability, his achievement of a moment of unconditional compassion at his death and redemption, and Yoda and Obi-Wan's spirits helping him extend his identity out of The Force.

I've wanted to watch it since the announcement of the 6 film set but I don't want to buy it on DVD again.

It wouldn't matter about training. What Lucas proves in the Saga is that no matter how well you're trained, evil makes you stupid. Darth Maul just stands there and lets himself be killed, while Anakin doesn't leap high enough.

THX is used in a LOT of different films nowadays. Lucas Created that YEARS ago. i'm sure each studio that uses it pays him a HUGE sum of money. plus from all the money he makes working with Steven Speilberg.

& the sales of everything Star wars etc.. it's beyond stupid IF he can't afford it. yet he can afford creating new technology? now answer me this,

what would be uh cheaper? well we all know putting the Bond Series on blue ray would be cheaper. so that's a given. ya know?

Make that a Billionaire.

George Lucas Among 40 Billionaires to Donate Half Their Money

August 4th, 2010

Forty US billionaires pledged today (Wednesday) to give at least half of their wealth to charity, either during their lifetimes or after death. This will be huge boost to nonprofit company, which suffered from the economic downturn.

The list of those taking the pledge includes Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, T. Boone Pickens, Michael Bloomberg and George Lucas, the man behind "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" movies who is said to be worth $3.5 billion. Lucas is the only person in Hollywood to do this.

The pledge idea came about in a series of private meetings that Gates, Buffett and other philanthropists had over the past year on the future of charitable giving. Bloomberg, like several others on the list, said he made the pledge because he has more money than he could ever use himself.

Buffett is the second richest man in world with a worth around $60 billion. The 79-year-old has already announced that he will donate 99% of his money to charity after his death.
