Ahem “ Juan Jenkins was a male Human Jedi Knight who lived during the last years of the Galactic Republic.” I apologise profusely!  I didn't know they were making a movie about him. You're right, it probably would have sucked. |

Are they humans if there's no Earth in this other galaxy?

In the Star Wars mythos the Thirteenth Tribe of Kobol left the Galactic Republic and legend has it that they settled a new planet far far away, known as Earth.
So yes.

Maybe the Huttese are human beings with another few million years of evolution. Or a few decades of evolution for America.

I’ve always found it strange how a handful of characters managed to have Earth (biblical in fact) names. I assume in the case of Luke it was to make him relatable, and perhaps similar for Han and Leia (and maybe Ben I guess), but EVERYONE else in that galaxy has a weird Star Warsy name apart from them and it’s very odd writing.

In Star Trek they spent an entire episode explaining why all the aliens basically looked the same but with a nose ridge; a progenitor race seeded the galaxy so most life starts from the same point.

Except Star Wars happens in the past. I guess it’s possible one spaceship carrying a Luke, Leia, Han and Ben crashed on Earth, then immediately forgot all the tech that got them there and went about populating it. I’m still going with bad writing. |

I’m still going with bad writing. [br Sounds like a trilogy idea Humans on the brink of extinction send out a rocket of human embryos to save humanity. The rocket launches but does not survive so a vials of 100s of human dna are launched as a failsafe into space. A alien race discover these vials. Collect them and process the embryos. In order to give humanity the best chance they put human babies in several galaxies and Star systems for the race to "survive" Of one of those dna vials was luke skywalker. Named as such because the vial had lucas pharmaceutical written on the side of it. It's in the past because time relevant to earth is actually before that of our earth. Or they just wanted luke to be relatable...... Or bad writing |

Which is when they built the pyramids and the stargate. |

Isn't there a Indy comic where they dig up an ancient Millennium Falcon or something?

I liked how they realised Obi-Wan Kenobi sounded a bit foreign so went with Ben. Like the guy on your team who calls himself 'Joe' because he knows nobody will be arsed to learn how to pronounce his actual name.

Like the guy on your team who calls himself 'Joe' because he knows nobody will be arsed to learn how to pronounce his actual name. Of all of the prequel terribleness, the most ridiculous for me was the Obi-Wan went into “deep hiding” from Darth Vader, by going back to the exact spot he met him in the first place, dressing in full Jedi garb on a daily basis and changing his first (but not his far more recognisable second) name. |

Technically, Luke being an Uncle is pretty much the entire plot of the recent trilogy

Taken to absolutely ridiculous extremes in the interquel TV show |

TBF the prequels show Anakin is a dimwit, so maybe Kenobi wasn't hugely worried.

Didn’t watch it. Does this scene happen?
‘Sir, we’ve located a Ben Kenobi living on your home planet a stone’s throw from your stepfather. He’s been seen wearing Jedi robes.’
‘FOOLS! I told you his name is Obi-Wan!! Mention this “Ben” to me again and you will experience the full power of the Dark Side of the Force’.

That and he beats the absolute shit out of vader again which I think explains why he didnt go looking for him because vader is now a pussy after two absolute rinsings?

Basically, Obi-Wan? More like Chosen-Wan. He is repeatedly shown as the most powerful and pivotal jedi in the entire series.

Most of Star Wars’ pants on head moments are trying to justify retcons and making it up as they go, like how there’s absolutely zero way Vader was supposed to be Anakin in ANH, and no way Luke and Leia are related until Jedi. It’s bad writing across the board pretty much.

Although... my daughter skipped episode 3 because she didn't like the prequels that much, but she wanted to get up to speed before watching the sequels and check if her guesses were correct. So a few days ago we watched a youtube video summary of Episode 3 in about 6 minutes, and it was rather noticeable that obi-wan basically wasn't in it until the very end. The summary was 90% Anakin talking with 'the grandpa' (  ), 7% him talking with Padme, and then Obiwan turned up at the end to cook him. |
