Wait what? Why doesn't Obi-Wan recognize R2? He acknowledges him in the prequels.

Guinness looks high as fuck right there

Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer's, anon
Why doesn't Uncle Owen remember owning C3PO for years while Anakin was training to be a Jedi?
>>63734642
he's in hiding you little shit. he's lying about the droids so he can keep his cover.
do you have autism?
>>63734642
Because Lucas is a fucking hack who was making shit up as he went along
>owning a droid
obi-wan never owned R2D2
his statement is factual
What George write a prequel with continuity? Not bloody likely tardo.
>>63734729
The correct answer is that Lucas had no grand plan for the plot across multiple films and literally made it up as he went along.
Can you into thought processes?
What the fuck does Obi Wan do in exile?
Jack-off? Blow time on the internet?
>>63734642
Well that have been refrences of characters saying that the R2 droids are very common and it wouldn't suprise me if there is another droid that looks exactly the same as R2D2.
>>63734642
he jedi mind tricked himself to forget certain things to keep good friends safe
>>63734748
This. They were always Anikan's, who Obi-Wan borrowed.
>>63734877
meditates and talk to force ghosts
maybe does some low key operating on Tatooine like jedi mind tricking Empire spies away and stuff
>>63734748
>Not saying his statement is true, from a certain point of view
Obi Wan is racist.
All droids look the same to him.
Just watched VI
Why does Leia have memories of her mother when Padme died giving birth?
>>63734877
Watch over Luke and keep the Empire from finding him
>>63735351
Because JJ said we can do whatever we want!
>>63735435
what does JJ have to do with it?
>>63735351
Because OOBA OOBA
>>63734748
This. His was the red one.
>>63734965
Best answer
>>63734642
Because there's a shit ton of produced R2's?
Don't be this retarded.
>>63735351
False memory
>>63734748
But he had R4, thats still a droid, he should have said "i dont remember owning a R2 unit"
>>63734859
Pretty much this.
>>63734642
1. He never owned R2 although he did have a similar red droid
2. There's probably a shitload of R2-D2 units out there family, how's he supposed to recognize it as the same one?
External explanation: Lucas makes it up as he goes along
Internal explanation: He didn't own it. Padme owned it.
>>63735403
>keep the empire from finding someone named Skywalker who wants to join the Imperial Academy
how hard could that be
>>63734727
It's been 23 years. Protocol droids all look the same. His personality may be unique, but Owen didn't talk that much to him to figure it out.
>>63734642
that model of astromech droid is really common, hth
>>63738222
>Owen didn't talk that much to him to figure it out.
Yeah, C3PO only worked on his farm for 10 fucking years.
>>63738469
I mean, during the events of ANH.
>>63735351Breha Organa
>>63738511
Yeah... I guess it makes sense. And 3PO had a new outer casing.
But to explain Obi Wan you gotta accept that either he's pretending to not recognise R2 for some reason, or he thinks it's a different robot. You'd think he'd at least be curious when finding a robot that looks and sounds exactly like one he had adventures with in the clone wars.
But whatever, I can accept that the weirdness, there's stuff like that in the OT too.
>>63737503
Apparently they fucked up the naming in the script, R4 is an R2 unit, just with an odd name
>>63734642
He wasn't a good enough friend
>>63734877
Shitpost on 4cechan
>>63735511
Fuck I lol'd
The prequels aren't canon.
>>63735351
I don't know
He was still trying to play dumb to luke
>>63739444
The force awakens is a reboot.
>>63734642
In the originals droids were much like slaves. So it's like Obi-Wan saying that he didn't own a slave. That's also the reason why they're not allowed in the bar later in the film. It's poetry for slavery.
>>63739490
Reboots; remakes I thought I knew what the distinction; just don't know anymore.
Because Lucas was making it up as he went along.
Why is this even a question
>>63737503
>>63738163
The r4 wasn't his. Just temporaly to do that dog fight
>>63734859
That's a pretty boring way to discuss fiction, anon.
