Did you not hearing him shouting "wesa free!" when they cut to Naboo in the planets celebration?
Why oh why is anyone still watching the swirling corn-filled bowl of diarrhea that is the Special Editions? Sebastian Shaw is in the Harmy discs
HISHE covered the rewrite well enough.
But I think Yoda should have said, "Welcome here, you are not" no matter what form Anakin walked up as.
Thanks to the prequel stories, his role in the Jedi massacre and pivotal role in establishing the Empire, the Skywalker name should be mud across the galaxy.
Unless Skywalker is the Star Wars version of Smith.
When did Qui Gon appear as a ghost? I don't recall that.
Obi wan was able to vocally project himself after a short period - death to the the trench run. I can't say he couldn't appear at that point, but a ghost appearing on front of the ship, while in flight, likely causes luke mental harm and prevents him from blowing up the DS
Luke was the patsy, they left him out in plane sight with Anakins name, living with Anakins relatives. So if Vader realises his kid lived, he takes or kills Luke and has no idea Liea even exists, after Luke gets taken or killed she is trained by Yoda in complete secrecy. That plan goes down the tubes when she is captured and they go with the patsy after all.Skywalker would almost have to be akin to Smith otherwise Yoda/Obi are two of the dumbest people in the galaxy. Why in the world would you leave someone you're trying to protect with a name the empire would see and immediately swarm the planet for?
For that matter - WTF would the place skywalker on him at all? Who's genius idea was it to say 'yeah, lets name him after the guy who just slaughtered the jedi temple 2 days ago'. For all intents and purposes, it should have been a completely random name with no connection to either parent - if you're really trying to keep him safe.
