Platonic Saber Touch-Test by inimitability
Summary: Having already explained to his troopers that his saber's feelings do not necessarily reflect his own, Obi-Wan doesn't see the harm in letting them take turns holding it.

That's what this is about: preparing for all eventualities, and a dash of scientific curiosity. Definitely nothing to do with soulmates and who may or may not be their General's.
