anghraineIt's always weird to me when people are like ... oh, Obi-Wan and Yoda aren't really wrong about Anakin in ESB/ROTJ, and they aren't really saying Luke needs to kill him, Luke is just mistakenly assuming that's what they mean and misinterpreting their wisdom. He actually did what they wanted!
Meanwhile in ROTJ:
LUKE: I can't kill my own father.
OBI-WAN: Then the Emperor has already won.
Yoda is somewhat more ambiguous (he says Luke has to "confront" Vader, and earlier that the Dark Side forever dominates your destiny), but Obi-Wan is wrong. It's okay. He can be wrong.
