[QUOTE="Doc_Subtlety, post: 215166, member: 2615"] I've read a disturbing amount of the Expanded Universe stuff (it's bad, but it's internally consistent - sue me :) ). - Luke did have *some* access to the old traditions. When he first started his school on Yavin, he had a Jedi Holocron from a crashed Jedi ship on Dathomir. He and his students made an effort to study it before it was destroyed. (Long, long story involving a teenager even more whiny and powerful than Annakin.) So, while he obviously doesn't know *much* about their history, he must know some bits and pieces. - Spare lightsabers are uncommon at least partly because they are a great pain in the butt to build in the first place. You need rare crystals, and some kind of potentially explosive "firing" process (like with clay). - Obi Wan's actions on Kamino are a non-issue, IMO. If it mattered, the aliens had an opportunity to try and detain him, or at least take it up with Yoda. They didn't say a word. (And there's *no* way they didn't see what happened - the whole camera thing aside, Boba fired starship weapons out there.) [/QUOTE]
