Quoted: When his Aunt and Uncle died, he did not really seem to care, especially in comparison to when Obi-Wan died.
I mean, he spent all of a day with Obi-Wan compared to his entire life with his aunt and uncle.
It did not even appear he buried them. |
Three things.
First of all, give "Luke" a break. He may have been in shock. He may have still been running on the adrenaline rush from early in the day. When Ben bought it, he may have been at the end of the surge. Or he may have been riding on Ben's energy or even Ben's force aura. But when Ben bought it, there was no one else around to supply that carrier wave .... if that idea is correct, that is.
Secondly, burial appeared not to be the custom. After all, when Luke returned to Ben, they were burning the small fry, not burying them.
Finally, keep in mind that this was the first movie (I've never seen the remake, so I am assuming we are talking about the original). Lucas didn't know that this thing was going to take off as it did, so he probably focused his story telling on what would be powerful, what could be covered up by follow on action scenes. It's a fictional movie, it is suppose to be entertaining, not real life. Otherwise, why pay to see it?
