I dont remember ever owning a droid

Hey, sorry if this has already been posted but im new so i havent exaclty looked at all of them. in anh, ben claims he doesnt remeber ever owning a droid, in reference to artoo. Considering hes been on adventures with artoo before, how did this happen

I think it's mainly because droids are thought of more as appliances. Although it still baffling that he wouldn't remember a droid as unique as Artoo. That'd be like forgetting a really cool car you once had.

Please.. oh please.... Mr. Lucas, remake the OT. completely, with new actors, story, everything.

Years ago before they even made the PT I always took that line, and the tone of voice he used with it, to be a "lie." Not a blatant lie for the sake of deceiving someone but more of a hiding the truth kind of a lie.... a lie of secracy. Remember, when Obi-wan says this he doesn't know Leia is in danger, or about the plans to the Death Star. He doesn't know anything dire is going on. He is still in "hiding out mode."

maybe ob1 said the line cause he didnt wanna remember the duel that killed the good in anakin.

That's how I always took it as well, especially after the PT.

This could be true. There is something about the small smile on his face and the way he says "Very interesting."

He doesn't start trying to get Luke to come with him until after the message, which is after he says he doesn't remember it. He probably wasn't planning on taking Luke along with him until he saw that message.

This may also lead into the "why doesn't Obi-wan or Yoda train Luke and Leia" question.... perhaps they weren't planning on it at all and just letting the rebellion handle things, but Obi-wan realizes the rebellion is about to be destroyed and he has to do something, which is why he starts to train Luke. 😕

🤨 Ok that tears it, you need professional help.

yea but i kinda doubt that yoda and obi wan were gonna let the last of the jedi just be a moisture farmer. i think ben planned on training luke from the very beginning. i do believe you on the whole droid thing however, i guess i just didnt pay close attention to it

Look, Obi-Wan is known for telling things from a certain point of view for one thing. And secondly, he didnt own either 3P0 or R2, they belonged to the Skywalkers.

yea but they were important character in the new movies and obi wan definitely interacted with them

But as JP said, he never owned them. And the quote is, "I don't remember ever *owning* a droid," when he may very well perfectly remember Artoo. That does actually sound like something Obi-Wan would say, telling the truth but maybe not the whole truth.

That doesnt mean he owned them and the line is "I dont remember ever owning a droid."
