Obi-Wan grants him the smile he was obviously fishing for. "They might take everyone that they capture, and if they've been expecting us, then they may not have known if or when we'd come. So we're still back at the possibility of them taking the crews of the ships they commandeer. And it would make sense, since a closed community would rely on such a practice to prevent inbreeding."

He glances at the door. "I know," he says. "But where would we go? We have no idea how far the passage goes in the direction we were traveling, and going back to the spaceport," for lack of a better word, "would have us running back into the guards."

Another glance at the door, "Not to mention they may not trust us."

His tone as he speaks about Anakin's veiled suggestion that they go explore is one that is merely presenting facts; in fact, Anakin may have heard it a few times when Obi-Wan is actually agreeing with the plan but choosing to play Devil's Advocate for the sake of argument.
