Two more ROTS thoughts

dangermousieYes, I know I wrote a VERY long write-up a bit earlier. But these popped into my head. They shouldn't be more than very mildly spoilery, but I am putting them behind a cut just in case:
1. Throughout the movie both Obi-Wan and Anakin refer to each other as being brothers. This makes so much sense. Anakin does not see Obi as a parental figure (they way they both see Qui-Gon), but an older brother. And when a sibling tries to parent you, you are just going to find him bossy and obnoxious. So the whole brother relationship might have prevented Anakin from listening to Obi the way he would have if he viewed him as a father figure. Obi-Wan really was too young.
2. This is very sappy, but I don't care. I keep wishing that after Vader dies in ROTJ, he could find Padme in the after life. Yeah, Yoda was talking as if ability to be ghosts a la Obi in OT is newly discovered, but I am assuming that didn't mean there was no afterlife previously. It just that before no one could take a visible shape and communicate with the living (figures that it would be the rebel Qui-Gon who would be too stubborn to stay put). Because I simply must believe that they would find each other again, and be together again, after she makes him sleep on a cosmic couch. I truly hope that he finds her again.
I love how this starts out relatively relaxed and light (R2D2 comic touches are great), and slowly picks up speed, inevitability, and tragedy exponentially. Pacing in this one is great.
