I think the Obi Wan storyline is a great microcosm of the entire prequel trilogy, good and bad. It's conceptually interesting, but becomes a mess when filtered through George's brain without editing. Why is there a noir homage in a kid's movie? Cause George likes that stuff!

Yeah, George Lucas is definitely an ideas guy, and that's okay. But he's not a writer, and he should have left most of the refinement and dialogue stuff to other people. To me, Obi-Wan was always the most boring part of Star Wars. He gets killed at the end of the very first movie!

Why does the mystery and its solution get totally ignored by the 3rd act? Because George assumes children (why, George, why?) understand that the Jedi are getting played by Sidious at every turn, so the mystery doesn't matter, and he needs a big ending set piece!
