Suppose Obi-Wan had escaped from the Death Star?

Post by Straha »

What if Obi-Wan had escaped from the Death Star, or at least told Luke to go to Dagobah before he died, and lead Luke to Yoda? How would this have effected the development of the Rebellion and, more importantly, how would having 3 extra years in which to train Luke, and quite possibly Leia, have effected the future of the galaxy?

Sorry.. I suppress the urge to write an impression of an "Infinities" graphic novel in which something completely ludicrous happens thanks to the [Space] Butterfly effect. ;)

I bet Vader would become obsessed with finding his old master and kicking his butt. That's my guess. This in turn could get Luke into trouble before he was ready OR force Ben to go off by himself to distract Vader, while sending Luke to train with Yoda ahead of schedule.

Obi would train Luke in a similer fashionthat he traind Ani but i agree with Kurgan in the fact that Vader would hunt him down and gut him like a fish :wink:
