Lies My (Jedi) Teacher Told Me Part 3: The Truth About the First Skywalker

Previously, I went over what appear to be Star Wars discrepancies, but are actually lies that Obi-Wan Kenobi told so that Luke Skywalker would kill his own father as well as a deliberate pattern of omitting references to Qui-Gon Jinn to avoid the embarrassing admission that the Jedi of the past had acted against their own principles. In this final installment, we turn to the lies about Anakin Skywalker's transformation from a Jedi Knight to a Sith Lord.

Lies My (Jedi) Teacher Told Me Part 2: Choosing Not to Look at Qui-Gon Jinn

In part 1 of this series, I covered Star Wars discrepancies that were the result of Obi-Wan Kenobi lying so as to get Luke Skywalker off-planet and start his Jedi training.

In the second of this three-part series, it is time to learn about Obi-Wan's deceptions regarding his own past that are definitely not simply the result of the filmmakers making continuity mistakes.
