(Matherly goes geeky and completely misses the point)
Obi-Wan seemed to be in good company of those who remember the past
Yoda
Vader
Palapintine
Uncle Owen
Aunt Beru
Bail Organa
Etc. |
Note I wrote
Star Wars. That's what the original film was known as in 1977.
In 1977 there was no Yoda, Palpatine, Bail Organa, etc. Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru hinted at knowing a bit about Luke's past as peripheral players, but that was it. The only one in the film who was "a sole survivor" was Obi-Wan. Of course Vader knew what Kenobi knew, but he had become part of the system, not a sole survivor of its ravages.
Point still still stands firmly.
