10 Movie Heroes Who Were Secretly Just Awful
2. Obi-Wan Kenobi Used Luke As A Weapon - Star Wars
After rescuing Luke Skywalker and C-3PO from a group of Tusken Raiders, Obi-Wan reveals that he is a Jedi (a group being mercilessly hunted by the Empire) and that Luke’s father had been one too, who had been unfortunate enough to be permanently dealt with by the Empire. He then tells Luke that one of his former students, Darth Vader, was responsible for his father’s death.
Of course, this isn’t the true story at all. Darth Vader is Luke’s father, and Obi-Wan is fully aware that he is training his one and only student to slay his own dad – but what better way to get Luke to agree to training than through blatantly misleading him? It’s difficult to imagine that Obi-Wan’s intentions were anything more than using Luke to bring an end to Darth Vader.
