Yeah, you're right. I had forgotten that Obi Wan was "in the know" about Luke and Leia for a while. But that wasn't revealed until The Empire Strikes Back came out. So, if you've only seen A New Hope, the joke would not make sense. So, I'm correct...from a certain point of view.Obi Wan knew both of them and knew who they were long before the time of that scene.
