This was one thing I have always thought was wrong with Prequel story by Lucas, that everyone seemed to be interconnected eg Yoda knowing Chewie Vader & 3PO etc that it did make the universe seem rather small, when in the originals it seemed alot more vast and the story now is less believable for me
