[QUOTE="Christian, post: 206799, member: 381"] Omokage and bwgwl clearly have the designation issue down. Those names are not nearly long enough to be individual names-those are model names. If the heroes drove to Cloud City in an old Plymouth Satellite, Vader wouldn't be thinking, "Hey-I rebuilt a Satellite in my high school auto shop! I wonder if this is the same one?" As far as the Obi-Wan question is concerned, that whole Tatooine scene is very revealing in retrospect. Think about it-he's been hiding on this backwater planet for, what, forty years? Suddenly, he decides to take off on a new adventure. And why? Because the Force is telling him-practically screaming at him, really-that it's time. One day, he's wandering the desert, minding his own business, when Anakin's droids show up with Anakin's son chasing them (after they ran away from their new owner, Anakin's step-brother), bringing a message to him from Anakin's daughter, who ran into them after her ship was shot up by Anakin near Anakin's home planet. "Gee, what a remarkable coincidence!" thinks Obi-Wan. Yeah, right. Everything he says and does from that point on is calculated to make sure Luke ends up training with Yoda for his ultimate confrontation with Vader. [/QUOTE]
