Thanks for your review Mario, much appreciated!

When I edited this cut of the Kenobi series I did so with the original trilogy in mind.

From watching the OT I never got the idea that Lea knew she was adopted when growing up, probably because George came up with the idea of Luke and Lea being twins when he did ROTJ 😊. When Bail takes Lea to look after at the end of ROTS I always figured he and his wife would raise her as their own child, and only they would know that she wasn’t. That would serve as a much better cover. To me the way the writers went with it in the Obi Wan series didn’t make much sense. This is of course just my opinion but that’s why I cut all the talk about Lea’s real parents.

I cut the Vader Kenobi fight short because it feels so overpowered when compared to ANH. The best part of the fight to me is when we see Anakin’s face and they have their little talk. So I looked for a way to get there a little quicker.

Thanks for your reply IC. I understand what you mean. But I think kids eventually find out they’re adopted. I also like the scenes between Ben and Leia.
