Not at all.

He saw the Death Star plans in Attack of the Clones. (did they cut that scene?)

Meaning, you should not have come out of hiding.

He didn't see the DS plans in AOTC.

Yeah, he didn't see the plans in AOTC. One thinks he might've bothered mentioning that the Confederacy was building a planet-destroying battle station if he had.

Of course, he might've been drunk at the time, so who knows what he remembered. Indeed, the Republic was lucky that he bothered calling home at all. tongue

During the Death Star's construction, Obi-Wan snuck on board and made some changes to the station's design to sabotage it: eliminate all guard rails; connect areas of the station with thin, narrow bridges over miles-deep shafts; make the doors open and close at 100 mph, ensuring injuries; make a line of sight path between reactor core/exhaust duct work/exhaust ports...

He could have destroyed the death star while he was there, but he found the officers club and decided to have a drink or 6 instead.

Well i read the Last of the Jedi book series (i know, i know, not canon), and even though Obi-Wan never stepped on the Death Star before ANH, by the end Ferus did witness an entire asteroid getting blown up (DS prototype anyone?), and he did go back and told Obi-Wan all about it.

My point is, while he hadnt set foot on it, Obi-Wan might have known what it was when he layed eyes on it and that's why he told Han to turn around and knew the Empire had destroyed Alderaan.

BTW last few posts = laugh

Not canon? confused

And Obi-Wan's knowledge could end up being due to something in the CW cartoon... whistling

"When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master."

Vader wasn't referring to being Obi Wan's Padawan at this time, as he had attained the rank of Jedi. However he was referring to the schooling Obi Wan gave him, and that he would in turn give Obi Wan... ;0) *jokes*

I would imagine Obi Wan's "look of recognition" upon seeing the Death Star would have been more akin to "Wholly shyte, there's a big bleedin' Imperial Battlestation.." As opposed to, something he wouldn't have mentioned knowing about in 20 years...

All jokes aside, I remember seeing these movies for the first time when I was 5 years old and understanding what was being implied with these lines... What is with this thread?
