So I saw someone ranting about how Obi-Wan is terrible because when the Jedi Council were like "no, this kid is too dangerous to train" he agreed and said they should send him back to Tatooine, which is totally harsh because the kid was a slave.
Yes.
Except.
Did Obi-Wan actually know Anakin had been a slave, at that point? I admit I haven't rewatched Ep I since it was in theaters, but I don't remember if that information had been relayed to him at that point. I checked a copy of the script online and it doesn't show in dialogue, but scripts are never 100% accurate.
I mean, if he knew, yes, that's harsh, but if he didn't? I mean clearly not everyone on Tatooine is a slave, look at Luke.
So I'm wondering if he knew. And if he didn't, like... when did he find out? Did he find out? That would have been one hell of a shocker to have come up once he was training the kid, I bet.
Yes.
