Okay, here's something that bothers me as I watch Star Wars IV on the telly at the moment.
Anakin was considered too old to teach the ways of the force in Star Wars I. However, in Star Wars IV Obi-Wan has no hesitations in teaching Luke the ways despite him being much older. Why? Options that I have considered are:
1) He feels that Darth Vader's son is the only one that can defeat Vader.
2) He feels that he has such a high count (genetically inherited from his father) that he is not too old.
3) The council aren't around to tell him that he can't. Anyway, he trained Anakin with only the grudging support of the council before.
These are just theories. Are there any Star Wars nerds out there that can give me the truth?
