Luke’s line in ANH to Obi-Wan reads as weird, given the world building we’ve seen in other media since in which people seem readily familiar with both the Jedi and the Force. Even in the Kenobi show, the Inquisitor rightly presumed they didn’t need to be introduced and that even the population of Tatooine knew they hunted Jedi.

That line in ANH is simply, “The Force?”

Obviously, it’s to get exposition going. But it seems weird for Luke to be familiar with the Jedi and be baffled by mention of the Force.

Not sure the line could be removed seamlessly, though. Maybe an AI line can give Kenobi’s line about the Force a different on-ramp.
