Incorrect. Point #2 states that the disciples believed that they had seen the risen Jesus.
Either they saw him or they didn't.
If they did, then they knew that He was risen and they never wavered in that conviction.
And my point 2 says that "Kenobi's apprentice and former master saw he had risen and appeared to them." Saw, not believed. Either they saw him or they didn't. If they did, then they knew that he was risen and they never wavered in that conviction. George Lucas isn't even part of the equation.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
