how did Luke not feel those deaths in the Force the way Obi-wan felt the death of Alderaan?
I've always assumed Luke simply wasn't attuned enough to the Force to register the casualties (that's how I explained it in Revenge), or that it's not really his way of being attuned to the Force. He's feeling zero pangs when he slices up people in ROTJ, say—unless he feels them and just doesn't care. But I don't think so. I feel like different people experience the Force in different ways, and Luke's inclination to violence is probably fed by his limited sense of the life or death of anyone he doesn't personally care about.
