It’s amusing they felt cropping off the top was the spoiler and not the Helmet in the water.
Or Perhaps the picture was cropped intentionally to get the message across.
Who do you think Forest Whittaker’s character is talking to when he says…
“What will you do if they break you?”
“General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I’m afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.”
So At what point was Leia meant to bring Obi-wan to Alderan? Is there a reason that Obi-wan could not have been picked up because stealing the death star plans went wrong? Was the Tantive IV meant to intercept the plans or was it a last ditch effort to get the death star plans and it interfered with Obi-wan being picked up?
