good point
Ya know, that's acually quite a good point there KJ. I never thought of that. That kind of shows that R2-D2 will return to Tatooine in Episode 2 and/or 3, as he wouldn't exactly know his way around just because of where he went in Episode 1. Perhaps he'll see where Obi-Wan's home is and that's how he knows where to go.
Then again, perhaps Leia just gives him maps of the planet within the data she puts inside him.
