(Obi-wan is levitating Yoda in an elevator, high above burning coruscant. Out in the sky, the Millenium Falcon performs an Immelmann maneuver.)

Ewan Obi-wan: I see dunes in the desert.

Yoda: It is the future you see.

Ewan Obi-wan: The future?

Yoda: The future, the past. Whatever. All the movies that suck to desert must descend.
Go me here and go you there, and catch up later we will. Trust me.
Hmmmm?

Ewan Obi-wan: Oh, I get it. This is like that "Ring of fire" thing where we all hibernate until the rise of the true hero.

Yoda: Like this, you will not. Guess who turns out to be the "true hero"?

I do have problems with Obi-Wan sitting on his hands from the end of ROTS till ANH just waiting for Luke to "grow up."

The only way I can make it work for me, and makes sense to me WHY he gave Luke to Beru and Owen is that Obi-Wan needed to watch the kids while he took off to fight the newly forming empire AND to distract Vader and the Emperor away from the twins. He would've also been running to Alderaan to check up on Leia.

Also, this would the basis for his knowledge of stormtrooper weapons, TIE fighters and other Imperial technology. So, say after about 10 years of this, he's been to one end of the galaxy to the other fighting for justice, etc., that he's gotten so beat up and injured (notice he limps in ANH) that he really has no choice but to go back to Tatooine and stay there.

In the meantime, Owen has grown bitter. "Why has he laid this kid at our feet while he goes running off on some damn fool idealistic crusade?" "What if [Vader/Anakin] comes looking for the kid."

It works so much better than Obi-Wan meditating for the next 20 years.

I have problems with this too. When delivering Luke To Owen and Beru, Kenobi was still fit to make opposition to the empire, so was Yoda. This is bad writing in my opinion, either your theory, that Kenoby did not stay in Tattooine waiting for Luke, or that both Yoda and Kenoby would have serious injury's from their respective fights at the end of Ep.3. Something other than Yoda saying "I now have to go to exile" for no reason other to blend with Ep.4.

Pretty good points, Gerhard. I actually think that there wheren't much reasons to do it like they did other then to fit in to Ep IV. (Actually, what ever reasons I might have to hate ROTS, I think Lucas did a pretty good job to explain the things in the original Star Wars. Ooops. EP IV.)
However, I also guessed that the twins where born on Dagobah and split up after that. Since Luke seems to remember the planet when he crash lands there.
But I am just an average fan, so what do I know compared to da master (Lucas?)
