And here I was, thinking it was perfectly obvious that Obi-Wan reacted to his name that way because he hadn’t used it in twenty years.

I feel like writers are so worried about their audience being kinda dumb... they always try spoonfeeding shit.

Like nah we got it Lucas, Obi-wan went by Ben for 20 years... and Luke said "obi-wan" and he was like "huh it's been a long time since I heard that name"

We don't need a more complicated story to explain that line.

And that goes for the Disney writers too. We don't need a whole movie to explain Hans parsec line. It sounds spacey, it's fun, that's all it needs to be.

I liked the headcannon that Han was bullshitting Obi-Wan to see if he was a sucker or not. Guess that's gone now.

Thanks to his headcannon, Han was able to shoot first.
