Neither of them had any real interaction with Kenobi. Leia never even knew him as "Ben".

I don't shit on the OT

Hell, I tend to talk about how I enjoy the TPM and ROTS even though they're flawed all the time.

Why do you have such a visceral reaction to any criticism of Star Wars? Like I don't even know how you could call this topic "shitting" on Star Wars.

Rebel can handle himself in Star Wars arguments fine without you to defend him. It's all he does after all.

On Hans side, Obi-Wan gave his life saving Han and Chewy, not just Luke. Something like that stays with you.

On Leias side, he was like Lukes uncle/grandfather figure and Obi-Wan was a pretty revered figure among her adopted family, which is why set sent the Death Star plans to him in the first place.

So theres precedent on both sides.

But why "Ben"? Maybe I'm not remembering right but didn't he only use that on Tattoine?

I'm not defending him at all, I don't really even like him that much. Drop "Gee" from his statement and it's accurate and offers a valid reasoning to TC's question.

So you acknowledge the douchey presence to Rebel's answer and still act like TC went after him "like a child"

You say that as a joke but look at the list of available names in the Star Wars universe. Is it any wonder they jumped all over Ben?

Remember on the Death Star when Leia is like "Ben Kenobi, where is he!?" with full-on recognition?

It's not like she never heard the name. It's not like she said "you mean Obi Wan?" She said Ben Kenobi with full recognition. It may have been a nickname her father used for him, too. Who knows?

Not to mention, Luke and Leia spent years off-screen. At any time she might have asked Luke "what would you say is a good name for a child?" and he might have said Ben. Or she might have just done it herself. Or it may have even been Han's idea. They all knew him in some way or another.

It's not crazy or unusual at all.

The Obi-Wan connection is a coincidence. Han was merely inspired by the same galaxy-brain logic that gave his name.

Leia: what should we name our son?

Han: Idk why are you asking me?

Leia: well thanks for nothing. Anyways how have you been?

Han: oh shit!

I could also seem them arguing about a name and Luke being like how about Ben?

Yeah I always assumed it was because of the significance he played in Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, and Bail's lives and an acknowledgement of the sacrifices he made for all of them.

Plus Leia probably knew Luke would never have kids because of a combo of the whole "jedi" and "gay" thing, so she wanted Ben's name to live on in some way.

It's more like why name him after that one nickname he used on a backwater planet when he was hiding.

But hey, I guess he went by Ben all the time around Bail Oragana in the EU or something *shrug* thanks for informing me.

20 years he spent around one of these characters.

Well, at least until the new Disney+ series comes out I guess.

Oh shit, what if Disney doesn't have him go by Ben in that? That'd be embarrassing.
