Agreed, Ian, how closely aligned the script is to what occurs on the screen. Yet the change you noted in your analysis is a key one. Have to think that is Kirshner’s decision, as you say. Great scene. The whole Luke-in-training subplot with its Jungian undertones is one of the reasons I like Ep. V is my favorite SW movie. Well, that and the battle on Hoth!
