Even if you were to interpret his line as meaning Leia, I don't think Obi-Wan felt her all that capable, nor the force as strong in her.

I would also be curious if anyone has any idea on how to reconcile the Empire dialogue where Obi-Wan says, "That boy is our last hope." and Yoda says, "No, there is another." It certainly doesn't make sense if Obi-Wan was present at the birth. I suppose the easiest solution is to remove this exchange from Empire, but I always liked that final line from Yoda.

In fact, IF you accept that GL had the 'twins' thing planned all along, Obi-Wan *again* seems like a manipulative prick because he knew who Leia was when he saw the original hologram projection of R2, not to mention when the group ended up on the Death Star and went to rescue her. Not that Ewan did a bad job in his acting, but BEFORE the PT I actually liked and respected Ben- the PT make the Ben of the OT (and Yoda) look like asses instead of mentors.
