Nothing in that text says "you are my son" or "I know you so can you help me" but it is easy to imply that the person knows or remembers me.

It was my dad.

The more i think about it the more it seems to be a weird thing to get hung up on.

That’s been my bother since the first ep Jorge.

She does say Ben Kenobi when Luke rescues her. So that suggests she knows him?

But looks like she’s meeting Vader next week. That opens up a can of worms. She knows Vader in the OT. Even gives him back talk when he takes over her ship.
Are we gonna see the genesis of that?

I hope not

agreed, this troubles me

Y'all are weird. I don't see any issue with any of this yet. Nothing has been retconned.

Does anything really even need to be cleared up? In ANH, she says:

General Kenobi. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

One can easily read that as "you helped my father before, he's asking you again" as a matter of fact. She could still know him or have memory of him and her holo quote still be valid.

This is not accurate. Check Reddit.

Christ no.
But thanks for explaining your perpetual gloom about these series.

Just admit you were wrong already

She's just formal. "You served my father." Not, "you rescued me."

How often was your kid kidnapped and rescued by an old man?

In North Carolina they call that "a Hill People Special" and it's more or less a rite of passage.

VinylGuy wrote:im not sure about the whole mind wipe will happen....Her message in ANH is ambiguous, it always sounded like she didnt know Kenobi before, but now it can also means she knows him...maybe she is doing that in case anyone else gets it?

Well see.
