[SPOILERS] My girlfriend has never seen Star Wars and she started with Episode 8. She went back and watched Episode 4 with me and we had an interesting argument...

I made her explain to me what happened in the movie. She's ESL and not familiar at all with Star Wars, so it's entertaining to hear her describe the movie (the annoying shiny robot, the bear, dark Vader, the queen) and I also want to see if she didn't understand anything so I can explain it.When she was describing Darth Vader and Obi Wans fight, she described it as:"Obi Wan was tricking Darth Vader so his friends could escape."I asked, "how was he tricking him?"And she said, "he was Force projecting like Luke did and disappeared when his friends were getting away. I think Luke is going to see him now"Huh. Of course I told her no, he really died. And then she said no, his body was nowhere to be found, he was just a projection. And I said yes but do you remember Luke at the end of 8 and how he disappeared? They just became one with the Force. She disagreed and said yes, because Luke was actively dying and then became one with the Force, but with Obi Wan, there was no death, just a disappearance.We're watching episode 5 this weekend (she somehow still has NO idea that 1) Luke and Leia are related and 2) That Darth Vader is Luke's father, so this should be fun) and she'll see that Obi Wan is actually dead. But I thought it was interesting how her natural instinct was Force projection, and how watching episode 8 first shaped her perspective. via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2F8b1IA
