Note:
Obi-wan is shown here on a walkway that is not immediately adjacent to the tractor beam terminal, as seen in the film. From this point, the Jedi must continue forward, go down a level, and come back in the opposite direction in order to reach the controls. An accompanying video clip shows Ben's look of recognition as he first sees his goal.
