Admiral Vostok Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Does anyone know what Obi-Wan means when he says to R4 "Transmit to Coruscant care of the Old Folks Home." It's about the only thing in Star Wars I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 I have no idea. I dont even know what he said. I couldnt ever make it out. The rain muffled his speach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Good question, I was wondering the exact same thing 'second' time I saw it. The first time I couldn't make out what he said properly. I hope someone knows the answer! *looks around for Jedi Monk* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Well, two things occur to me... the first is that Obi-Wan's message was beamed directly to Yoda's quarters in the Jedi Temple, so "old folk's home" might be an endearing little jab at the 874-year-old Jedi Master Then again, "care of the old-folk's home" could mean that Obi-Wan is using the Jedi Council's secure carrier signal, since the Jedi Council is made up of the senior Jedi Masters. I'm thinking it's probably the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 yep, think he just ment: send this file to the jedi council on coruscant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 It is a kind of "morse code". By using references only to those of applied knowledge, anyone listening in would be none the wiser. Thats why Americans used Native Americans to communicate messages. The germans and Japs couldn't decifer their native language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Jedi Monk........once again, simply amazing. I thought he was trying to talk with the council also.........it is a codename. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaJango Posted December 12, 2002 Share Posted December 12, 2002 Think Jedi Master. Usually, the Jedi Masters are old, explaining "The Old folks home." Anyway, it was directly transmitted to where Jedi master Yoda was meditating. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
