- How does Obi-Wan not remember R2?
He doesn’t say he doesn’t remember. Also, the prequels were not in mind when they made the original.
He said: “I don’t seem to remember ever owning a droid”
?
Owning a droid; which is true, from a certain point of view. At no point in the PT does he ever own R2-D2. Even with the PT being kinda dumb with the selective continuity, Obi-Wan’s statement makes sense to some extent still.
