Ben remembered reading about curators in "wonderstruck", and thought about what id meant to curate your own life, as his dad had done here. what would it be like to pick and choose the objects and stories that would go in your own cabinet? how would ben curate his own life? and then, thinking about his museum box, and his house, and his books, and the secret room, he realized he'd already begun doing it. maybe, thought ben, we are all cabinets of wonders.

When star wars became a hit and i had a chance to make the other movies, i had to figure out a way to bring ben back, but a lot of the issues he had to deal with were carried by yoda. in a sense, i combined yoda with the spirit of ben. i wanted ben to have some kind of influence, but i didn't want it to be a direct influence where he could help luke. so ben has managed to keep his identity after he became one with the force. one of the things he was doing on tatooine besides watching over luke was learning how to keep his identity after he became part of the force.
