rcb said:i came across somehting thats been bugging me for awhile. after luke lands on daghobah, and sets up camp. he says, "There's something familiar about this place." wat the heck does he mean? did he see it in a vision or did obi-wan take him there for a visit when he was a youngleen? i never figured that out. so can we lose that line?

I believe in a (very) early draft of the prequels, the Skywalker twins were supposed to be born on Dagobah. I don't have a particular problem with the line, though.

This is brought over from the ESB:R thread.

The moment I read this it made a lot of sense to me.

Rather than being dropped off in an escape pod Yoda is taken to Dagobah in the Tantive IV.

It lands on Dagobah and Padme has the twins there.

That way Yoda gets to his final destination, Luke's line gets an explanation and most of the birth scene can be kept as the hospital set matches much of the look of the Tantive.
