Right. It's not like anything useful could have been accomplished in the two minutes it takes to get to that part of the conversation. I can't see Obi-Wan watching the Leia video and then jumping up in a panic, "Oh shit, we've gotta get out of here and save the rebellion! Here, take this light saber, I'll explain later." He'd be sitting in the cantina talking to Han, drumming his fingers impatiently on the table, "Yeah, yeah, Kessel run, great, can we get the hell out of here please?!?" "A great disturbance in the force... damn this is really gonna throw us off schedule!"

You get the picture.
