10 Greatest Unspoken Star Wars Movie Plot Points
1. Obi-Wan Taught Luke To Get The High Ground - Return Of The Jedi
This is one of those plot points that splits fans right down the middle.
During Darth Vader's battle with Luke in Return of the Jedi, you'll recall that Vader looks up at Luke, who is standing at an elevated position, and says, "Obi-Wan has taught you well."
Well, looking at the movies today, it's hard not to view this as nodding towards the events of Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan gets the high ground against Anakin during their fiery, fateful duel on Mustafar.
While it's a simple fact that Return was of course made more than 20 years before Revenge, it's conceivable that George Lucas came up with the now meme-worthy "high ground" motif to lend greater import to Vader's original comment.
Sure, Vader could simply be talking about Luke's general combat aptitude as a result of training with Obi-Wan, but it makes all the sense in the world that Obi-Wan would teach Luke to get the high ground against an opponent.
It's blatant revisionism, but also fits perfectly.
