This argument is ridiculous. Leia being Luke’s sister is universe shrinkage because they were two separate people with disparate stories and backgrounds that didn’t come together until those fateful events in the original film. Making them siblings causes their backgrounds and stories to come from the same place.
So what did or would we the audience have learned about the Organa family, what with Alderaan being destroyed in the first film? Her background is basically destroyed right then and there…

Vader’s story, on the other hand, is already intertwined with that of Luke’s father. Key difference.
True. Though, he still need not be the same person as Anakin/Annikin/the father character that Ben talked about in the first film.

The stuff about Yoda doesn’t even make sense.
Had Ben not died in the first film, would he have still continued to have taught Luke, when his teacher Yoda was still an option? Especially if he had thought he had failed with Vader…
