So I don't agree with the concept of Obi Wan being given assigments. The Force should lead him to his missions.

I was going with this idea for awhile, but I hit an OT snag. If the force can lead you to where you are needed, then why did Leia have to come to get Ben in ANH. Is it because Ben was ONCE a jedi knight, but not so much anymore? And how can he be "too old for this sort of thing"? The force is supposed be stronger than just the physical. I like the "being sent" or maybe "encouraged and informed where they are needed" idea because it makes Yoda something we can talk about and have him the MOST finely attuned to the force.
