[QUOTE="Rabulias, post: 8561005, member: 16651"] While I agree [I]The Hobbit [/I]films misfired on many levels, I consider the LotR films to be sequels, despite the films' release order. :) Eh, that can be hand-waved away easily enough for a guy who misled Luke about his father's fate "from a certain point of view." How was Obi-Wan even out there in the desert to rescue Luke if he had not foreseen the events happening through the Force? Perhaps he needed to not acknowledge knowing the droids for events to play out as they should? Maybe Obi-Wan recognized the droids but has a good poker face. Though the problem does not go away, even if you assume all my suppositions to be true. Obi-Wan may be playing a long con, but R2-D2 (whose memory has not been wiped as far as we know) is [I]not [/I]in on it (unless it's a really, really, [I]really [/I]long plan Obi-Wan and Yoda have cooked up). He should have started saying stuff like "Hey Obi-Wan! It's me, R2!" Heck, R2-D2 should have recognized the Lars homestead and the last name of "Skywalker." Or maybe he did and thought, "This is it! This is the moment Yoda and Obi-Wan told me about! I need to stay quiet, get this restraining bolt off me, and bug out to these co-ordinates in the desert tonight!" But that really seems to stretch things a lot. :) [/QUOTE]
