	In the novel Ben stated that Ben took Luke to Uncle
	Owen and Luke and Leia's mother took Leia to Alderaan.
	Unknown to Luke at the time the People he called his
	Aunt and Uncle were actually Ben Kenobi's brother
	and brothers wife. 
	When Lukes father went off to fight in the Wars 
	and became the person we knew as Darth Vader, Ben took
	Vaders wife and the children and his them from Vader
	and the emporor so that Vader could not destroy them.
	This was well explained in the novel, but was only
	hinted at in the movie, and you had to be paying very
	close attention to pick it up.
	I recommend the novelization to all who saw the movie.
	It is well written and gives more complete description
	to many of the scenes such as this one.
