This must be absolutely necessary. It's part of the explanation for where Luke is. Since finding him is integral to the film, that's a huge plot point.

The Force wasn't important? The Clone Wars weren't important? The Jedi weren't important? The Empire wasn't important? Darth Vader wasn't important? Ben Kenobi gave the entire backstory of Star Wars, without a flashback, in less than three minutes but none of it was important? |

This movie is literally about the search for Luke Skywalker. They need to explain his disappearance.

Dane, get off it, dude. Some great -- GREAT -- movies employ flashback. Citizen Kane is essentially a story told entirely in flashback. It's a Wonderful Life employs them masterfully. Memento was chronological flashback. Kill Bill 1 and 2 use them effectively.
In the hands of a hack, flashbacks are hokey and cliche. In the hands of talented artists, they're effective storytelling tools. Stop acting like they all suck. |

For the most part, flashback scenes constitute bad story telling and narratives. But it's okay. We'll all agree to disagree, as Clay suggested earlier and hope the film is good, despite a flashback. |

One time, she put on a Star Wars shirt when we were hanging out. This was AFTER I showed her the ways of the Force. She's pretty cool.
