    Yeah… Except Leia has been working with the resistance since very young age, against the Galactic Empire. Not to say Luke’s got it easy but Leia has had some hard and dangerous life while Luke has been chilling farmer life

      This was the biggest failing of Obi-wan Kenobi (the series) to me. They tried to make it a Leia story at the same time and neither character got the focus they needed. They should have been two separate series.

        The kenobi series broke the lore. So basically, it doesn’t exist in Star Wars canon.

        Leia gets kidnapped and Kenobi, her father a public figure doesnt make it known, and then Kenobi instantly comes to her rescue. Cool… Leai has ties to Kenobi. Surely Darth Vader wont persue that to kill Kenobi again or explore that further…

          The lore’s been broken since The Force Awakens. Best to just ignore the Disney continuity entirely.

      Uncle Owen won’t let him go down to Tosche Station with Biggs to look at power converters!

        Who is Uncle Owen anyways? Luke’s only family members are all royalty.

          After Anakin’s mom was freed she married a moisture farmer and had more kids (or the farmer already had them). So Uncle Owen is either Luke’s half-uncle or his step-uncle.

            Owen is the son of Cliegg Lars and another woman who died before Cliegg married Anakin’s mom. So he is Luke’s step-uncle.

            She was a freaking queen. That doesn’t sound right.

            Oh, you said Anakin’s mom. Wouldn’t that make Owen Luke’s step-grandfather?

            Edit 2: nvm, I got what you’re saying now. Anakin’s Mom’s kid is raising Luke. Gotcha.

              Padme’s Queen title was an elected one. She wasn’t royalty. She was a Senator after her term ended, and there was another Queen.

              Leah was adopted by a royal family, which is how she got the title of Princess. She also became a Senator.

              Are you thinking of Luke’s mom?

                She’s definitely got it going on

                Oh, yes. So Luke was raised by Anakin’s mom? Wouldn’t Anakin think to look there for him, or like, visit his mom sometimes?

                Edit: I thought his mom was killed by the Sand People.

                  His mom’s brother? Who was a slave elsewhere and Anakin never knew him maybe? Or thought he was dead? Then the republic found him but Vader did not? I dunno

      Yeah Bail also was no slouch either, was interesting reading some of his backstory and war interactions in some of the Legends books.
