Is hilariously stupid now.
It became hilariously stupid in 1983 when George decided that Luke and Leia were sisters.

It's not stupid since I don't subscribe to this new Obi-Wan show. I reject it!
You are part of the fan movement to take this show off the canon list!
there's a movement?

I just complain about it on here.
After reading some comments on FB, it's pretty split and some people are seriously losing their shit over this show in a bad way haha

No. It survived until we found out that ObiWan was present at their birth.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I think SW got lucky with the two retcons in ESB/ROTJ. You only had three films, and nothing was too fleshed out, so it worked.



Now, the universe gets expanded, and funny enough, it constricts all the characters/plots into a muddled mess. The continuity is messed up beyond repair.

The way to fix it is to use AI to add another line by Alec Guiness saying "Oh, right."

I need to go back in and review all the heartfelt scenes between OB1 and Leia in this series to fully absorb the impact of him completely forgetting her, despite watching a recording of her just one movie ago.

But in this series, he didn't necessarily know she was force sensitive, right? So the "there is another" could be a surprise to him

He didn't know either way, so how could he have dismissed Leia as a possibility?

They wanted Leia in here somehow, and they were going to do it, canon be damned!

It’s not like he was sitting around thinking all day about whether or not a kid he last saw 15 years ago might be force sensitive.

Oh c'mon! He watched the "OB1, you're my only hope." video and didn't think about her AT ALL?
