Chewbacca studied the old man he knew was Ben Kenobi very carefully on board the Millennium Falcon, running through the memories of his past constantly as he repeated the name "Kenobi" over and over again. Why was that name so familiar to him? And where the heck did he hear the name "Skywalker" before?
Then, as if he was shot by a blaster-bolt, he opened his eyes and began to pick out those tiny specks of memory to replay in his mind. He had met Obi-Wan before, when he was just a little pup by Wookie standards with his Master, who had been a great Jedi. Yowling that he remembered Ben, Han Solo had no choice but to translate. "Chewie says that he remembers you," Han said, in a confused tone. "He said that you were the little Padawan named Obi-Wa…"
There was a short pause. A brief pause which ended in Han Solo shouting, "OBI-WAN KENOBI! OBI-WAN KENOBI! I GREW UP WANTING TO BE YOU AND ANAKIN SKYWALKER!" Obi-Wan immediately pulled Han Solo down by his collar and covered his mouth, signaling that Luke was still asleep and he didn't want the kid to be abruptly woken up. "Wait…" he said, stopping suddenly. Anakin Skywalker was the Hero with No Fear, and the kid was Luke SKYWALKER… "I thought Jedi couldn't…"
"There were some… exceptions…" Obi-Wan said, leaving Han Solo to forge his own conclusions. He had heard the public story that Anakin Skywalker had fallen with the rest of the Jedi when Order 66 was brought down. The young Solo would have spent his childhood pretending to be himself or Anakin, or any other Jedi, fighting the Separatists…
How ironic that become, that Han Solo, who yearned to even pretend to be the two greatest Jedi in the history of the Galactic Republic, would transport Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin's Skywalker to the Death Star, commanded by Darth Vader, who was but a dark shadow of what he once was…
