The only thing about Star Wars I dont understand.. (one line actually)

Ok, watched the prequels, watched the trilogy over and over again, and I understand the meaning and everything of it all..

But one thing has always confused me.

what exactly does Luke mean in ESB when he is talking to R2 after he landson dagobah and says "Still...There's something familiar about this place.."

It may not have much or any meaning, however to me the way the line is said and acted by both mark's expressions tells me that there was meant to be more meaning behind it..

I always took it as refering to his next line when he talks about it feeling like he's being watched.

How can saying

"Tehre's something familiar about this place"

and

"Feel like..Like I'mbeing watched"

even relate? they're two completely different meaning sentence's.

And Yoda wasn't around when he was a baby,only during the initial birthing, not enough to produce a memory in luke of a planet or environment. A person possibly, but Luke was speaking about Dagobah, it's surroundings, environment. Not yoda or yoda's presence.

That makes the most sense to me. Before the new movies, my friends and I thought that the twins were hidden on Dagobah for a while while they were babies.

don't underestimate the force

"I wonder to myself. Why? Simply why? Why why? Why do I ask why? Why do I need to find out why? Why do I have to ask why as a question? Why is why always used to find out why? Why is the answer to why always why? Why is there no final answer to why? Simply why not? Holy cow, this is pretty deep, meaningful **** I wrote. Glad I wrote it down. Oh man."

The Force makes places seems familiar and understandable, for it will guide you on unfamiliar terrain.

That's my theory.

What's more questionable is why there is sound in space?

Yoda has such a presence in the Force that Luke could feel it as a baby but not know what it was. The memory of Yoda's feelings of hope at that time came back when Yoda was hoping once more because Luke had just come to him to train.

Avenger, whenever you see something take the syntax a/b, it means you pick either a OR b, not both.. Just thought I should clear that up..

I always thought it tied into the part when the phatom Vader's mask blew open and it showed him inside. SYMBOLISM!
