I assumed that Princess Leia's royal father-to-be understood the situation of the empire, swallowed his pride, and cooperated with Yoda and Obi-Wan in hiding her from the newly-corrupted Darth Vader. What troubles me is that it's Obi-Wan who, in "Empire", says Luke is the last hope; I certainly got the impression from RotJ that he knew all along about the plot. Perhaps being a ghost causes lapses of memory.

Actually, the most idiotic part of the movie was when Luke asks Yoda: "You spoke of another" (This quote may not be exact but everyone knows the scene). Well, when Yoda mentioned the "other" in TESB Luke was taking off in his X-wing. I don't think that i can believe that Luke actually heard Yoda say that ( nor do i believe that he was meant to). SO???? How did Luke find out about it?? HUH? EH?? (Oops my keyboard just caught on fire.) Any comments, suggestions, flames, etc? Perhaps Luke could just *sense* Yoda's words. (oh boy, those jedi have good powers) Picky, picky Ray Allen utcsrgv!ray (416) 978-5036

Luke never said that to Yoda. The last thing Yoda said (what some people have said was unintellible) was: There is another Skywalker. Then he faded away. Luke asked BEN who the other was.

The reason OB1 thought Luke was the last hope was HE THOUGHT SKYWALKER 3
DIED ON ALDERAN!!! He obviously knew he'd left her on Alderan and
DIDN"T KNOW she was the Princess Leia (or didn't know that she was
on the Battle Station and was rescued... less likely). Yoda, being
more sensitive to the force, could feel a 3rd skywalker. Apparently
Yoda clued Ben in during their conversation at the end of TESB.
NOTE: THE YODA-0B1 Ghost conversation in TESB kills the theory that the
ghosts are all in Luke's mind. Yoda talked with 0B1 after Luke took off...

Ah so! I was already informed that Luke did indeed ask Ben about the "other". The problem was that when I was RotJ I didn't hear Yoda mention the other Skywalker because of the 10**69 children babbling at the 169 dB level. Now firmly humbled Ray Allen utcsrgv!ray (416) 978-5036
