Leia remembering her mother. Obi-Wan’s teacher being Yoda. No mention of Qui-Gon. Anakin was supposed to be a good friend and star pilot. Who was slowly seduced to evil. There was no learn the dark side to save Padme.
Those bother me.
And i know you covered them.
Yeah, much of what you mention above are the things many fans had been looking to seeing in the Prequels… and yet there was little-to-nothing there - or simply contradicted those statements in the OT.
Or what we had learnt from the official EU material and various releases - with snippets of extra information over the years…
True, however, I think that quote is simply being used as a bullet point heading. In 1977 Vader was not Anakin so the problem is a post ESB one. Obi-wan isn’t shocked to see his friend on the Death Star because his old pupil was always just Darth Vader. Once he’s changed to be Luke’s father in 1980 there are more gaps to fill. Obviously there have been further retcons since and they meet in a TV series.
I thought I’d replied to your post - though obviously didn’t (apologies!)…
Yeah, you’re spot on - it was just a bullet-point. With a nod in the main text to Vader being a pupil of Kenobi’s - before the later retcons.
I think #15 was meant to be a contrast to #14 (sort of a two-part category) - though never got around to finishing it. Oh, well. 👍
