  1. One thing that stuck with me last night after we left was how influential Obi-Wan was in Luke's call. We discussed last night that even after Luke went back to find that the farm was destroyed, he still had the option to stay home. I wonder if Luke would have ever realized his call to become a Jedi had it not been for Obi-Wan's prodding.
