    Yeah, I've never agreed with you lot about Obi not recognizing Artoo. That is as much an assumption as the other side saying he does.

    I personally think that he does, and even though it was never written to match the PT in exact detail there is enough visual information in the scene to make it seem like he does. It's something about his expression when he says, "I don't recall ever owning a droid." Loaded words and hidden acknowledgement.

    If you don't agree, then that's fine, but saying that it is objectively the other way is just as silly.

    I've said that he does recognize him, just not right away. There are more than one Astromech droids out there that look exactly like Artoo, as TPM showed.

    On the left are two Astromechs that look alike and one is Artoo. So it would take a few moments to recognize him, especially after Luke tells him that the droid belongs to Obi-wan. My issue is, what is it that is expected? That Obi-wan talks to him like they're old friends?
