Non-Revenge of the Jedi

Daniel was playing "Star Wars" with his "Star Wars Lego-Guys" at the little table in the family room this morning, and I head the following exchange between two contending light-saber gladiators:

Gladiator 1: Remember when Luke got his hand cut off?

Gladiator 2: Yeah , I remember that.

Gladiator 1: Luke is my brother.

I assumed that this was some kind of pay-back visit - that Luke's brother, whatever his name might be - was finally coming back to Ralph Vader, or whoever the villain is, to avenge the loss of Luke's hand.

But I was wrong. This fight turned out to be between two good guys - but one was mad because the other [good guy] stole Obi Won Kenobi's light saber.

So I guess the whole Luke-hand banter was just a bit of reminiscing between two good-guys who happened to be having a sword-fight with light sabres.
