Yes. #ObiWanKenobi show has changed #StarWars #ANewHope #ANH slightly, it doesn't change the undergirding of ANH, it's a nuanced addition.

In the books, only a few people knew #DarthVader was #AnakinSkywalker. Some #Jedi figured it out. #Thrawn figured it out like c'mon dude.

#GrandMoffTarkin sorted it out or someone told him, I forget. Of course, the #Emperor knew that #DarthVader = #AnakinSkywalker. #AhsokaTano found out. #ObiWanKenobi discovered it was true in the show.

#Reva knew. Here's the clincher - did the babies know? Did Luke and Leia really know? Did #DarthVader know that Luke & Leia were his kids? NO! That's not going to change from the OT. Ever. That's the rule.

But a kiddie doesn't have to KNOW to not realize what's going on. Really when Anakin became a Sith, part of Sithdom is a clean slate & become/manifest the evil. That's why they meditate. So when flashbacks of Anakin ruminate, #DarthVader proves to himself that he's wrong.

Such as the manner & way of Padme's & his child (cos he thought he had one) -- gathering that's ONLY Luke -- cos somewhere in Legends they say it. And Vader tells Luke "I am your father" so Vader knows this fact. But doesn't find out about his sister til ROTJ

But, it'd be HILARIOUS TO ME that in 1 false swoop, baby Leia FUXS #DarthVader's mind up with a line Padme told to Anakin from outta nowhere.
