    When Luke comes out of unconsiosness he looks up and says "Obi-1 Kenobi am I glad tos see you" In the scenes previous while at dinner with his family Luke makes it clear that he doesnt know who "Obi-1 Kenobi "is that maybe the droids meant "old BEN" Did he somehow figure it out?

    That's right. You of all people should know that, Luke ;). Funnier: "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, am I glad to see you."

    They have met before when Luke was much younger. Every once in a while Ben would see how Luke was doing before getting chased off by Owen.

    That could be used for the tv series! Every episode ending with Owen chasing away that old hermit!!!

    I believe the radio drama sheds some light into the backstory of Luke and Ben. It's been years since I've read it but I remember reading something about how they'd met before.

    When talking to Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, it is quite clear that Luke knows who "Old Ben" is. I would imagine that when Luke goes to Tosche Station to goof off with his friends, that he may have run across Old Ben coming out of a bar, and it would be no coincidence: Ben was keeping an eye on him, and so was Yoda.

    Obi-wan was like that crazy old homeless man that all little towns have. Sure the teenage kids told and made up storys about the crazy old man.
