Why in episode ii, when obi-wan is preparing to talk to mace and yoda from kamino does he tell R4, "care of the old folks home". I don't understand why yoda and mace's chambers would be considered an old folks home, I know yoda's old, but he wouldn't be in an old folks home. The caption says care of the old folks home, so I know that's what it says. Why would it say that?

yes... ok... It wouldn't hurt to form a polite answer to this.

lisa, it's a joke... if you don't get the joke, it's probably cause it's "british" humor, the kind no one gets wink

I thought that it might be a joke, but he didn't like laugh or anything and what kind of idiot would tell jokes to droids? Oh well, I guess I don't have any humor, I'll work on that though.

see, british humor wink

No offence but it is not 'just a joke' actually. "Care of the old folks home" is a secret code for the Jedi Temple. It's to fool anyone who might be tapping his transmission.

yeah, that answer definately beats the "it's a joke" idea.

OK in the game Jedi Starfighter you play as Adi Galliea. When she send transmissions back to coursant she send them to "the old folks home" I believe they do this because the coummunications can be intercepted and they dont want them to know its jedi sending the transmissons. kinda like wat they do in the army.
