INT- Lars homestead
Luke
You know, I think those two droids might have been stolen?
Owen
And why do you think that?
Luke
Well, the protocol droid told me that the Astrodroid told him that he belongs to somebody called Obiwan Kenobi.
Owen gags on his drink and begins to cough hysterically. Beru slaps him on the back several times.
Luke
Are you okay?
Owen
I'm fine.
Luke
What about Obiwan?
Owen
What about him?
Luke
Is he Old Ben?
Owen
No. Obiwan died a long time ago.
Beru
Owen, that's not true. Obiwan is Old Ben. If it wasn't for him, we never would have adopted Luke.
Luke
Really?
Beru
Yes, after your father died, Obiwan brought you here. He's been watching over you for years. I have no clue what Owen has against Obiwan anyway. I think he blames him for your father's death, but he barely knew him, so I don't get the grudge.
Owen
I'm just afraid Obiwan's going to show up at our door anyday and demand Luke learn the ways of the force just like he did with his father.
Luke
Hey, I'm old enough to leave. If this Obiwan person ever needs me, I'm going to help him. Oh, and what the heck is the force.
Owen
I have no idea. Anyway, you can't leave at least for another year.
Luke
Yeah right. You're such an arrogant old farmer! You're holding me back! I want to join the Rebel Alliance and that's final!
Luke stomps off.
Beru
Way to go, dear.
