  • Jacob and Obi-Wan Kenobi got stuff in common?

    Before Darth Vader "killed" Obi-Wan in Star Wars, Kenobi warned him that if he struck him down, he'd become "more powerful than he could possibly imagine". On Lost, Jacob was similarly "struck down", but still lives on to influence people/events (like through Hurley), as a spirit/ghost/whatever, much as Ben and other dead people annoyingly appeared to and haunted Luke, possibly even while he was using the bathroom for all we know, for the rest of his natural life... (poor Luke)

    So Jacob is now completely "one with the Island", just as Ben became one with the Force through his death. Mission accomplished, Jacob.

    Very much so. The creators are huge Star Wars fans and have made quite a few similarities so I wouldn't put it past them.

      Whoa, nice observing. I agree.

        In tonight's episode (#5 Lighthouse), Hurley referred to Jacob as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

        So this probably means Smokey is actually Jack's father. Future scene:

        Smokey: Jacob never told you what happened to your father...
        Jack: He told me enough! He told me YOU killed him!
        Smokey: No. *I* am your father.
        Jack: No. No. That's not true. That's impossible!
        Smokey: Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
        Jack: No, I really mean that's impossible! You're just a pile of smoke for Christ's sake.
