10 More Important Star Wars Details That Are Almost Never Mentioned

10. The Last Thing Obi-Wan Sees Is Luke & Leia Reunited

Before we get to the disturbing stuff, here's a little-discussed detail that's actually pretty heart-warming. 

Despite basically every Star Wars fan having incredibly vivid memories of Obi-Wan Kenobi's (Alec Guinness) death in A New Hope, it isn't often mentioned that his sly smile at the end of his life has a very particular meaning.

Just before he allows Darth Vader (David Prowse) to slay him during their iconic lightsaber duel, he looks around and sees Luke (Mark Hamill) and Leia (Carrie Fisher) making their escape, and then smiles.

Now, let's break this down - the last thing Obi-Wan sees before laying down his life is the two twins he separated at birth being reunited almost 20 years later. 

If that doesn't warm your cockles and leave you willing to sacrifice yourself for the greater good, then nothing will.

Even though some fans might point out that George Lucas didn't originally plan for Luke and Leia to be siblings during production of a A New Hope, the meaning of Obi-Wan's look fits so damn perfectly that we'll let him take credit for it regardless.
