Apparently they know Organa and Kenobi are close friends, so it makes sense that he goes to save his friend's daughter. It's very weird that they find Obi Wan and discover they can bait him out of hiding and ultimately do nothing about it because of course he's alive in episode IV.
If they're smart they're going to have the last episode end with it being ambiguous on whether or not Kenobi is dead or not.
Also something like that would play right into the Emperor's hands as well. Because he can forbid Vader from wasting his time searching for a dead man while Vader is still paranoid that the only the man he is actually afraid of is still out there.
