I always thought something just didn't sound right about that statement. Obi Wan was a Sith all along it seems.

I'm ashamed to admit I had to have it pointed out to me after the fact. I take refuge in the movie being so horrible my brain shut off in self-defense.

Huh?

I apologize. I only saw Ep III once, and I spent a good portion of the film clawing my eyeballs out.

His point is that obi wan's statement is itself an absolute. You know, the kind "only sith deal in".

Still better than midichlorians.

You have to know the hidden context behind Obi Wan’s statement. The reason that he insisted that “Only a Sith deals in Absolutes” was that he personally drink Grey Goose and thought that everyone else did likewise.
