How could she not be? Might as well just not go if it bothers you that much.

Ezra Bridger, while not a Temple trained Jedi, is still probably out there & younger than Luke.
I don't think he survived Rebels.  They may not kill him onscreen, they may reserve it for a novel/comic book, but I doubt he's alive.  Imho, he turned to the Dark Side, killed his master and was slaughtered by Vader after finding redemption.

Nobody cares about what happens in a children's cartoon show. :P

Ahsoka Tano is still out there as well (although she left the Jedi order, she is still a light side force user).

It's canon!  ;)

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I thought she was supposed to be obi 's kid, what with them being the only two characters with a British accent.

I know there are certain British accents that sound like that, but they are NOT genetic in origin.

She seems way too young to be Obi's child.

Yeah, she's too young to be Obi's. Maybe grand kid.

Did Padme have any sibblins?

:lol:  the theory was since they made black storm trooper use an American accent her accent had special meaning. But maybe she just sucks at accents. Also, she heard obi's voice when she picked up the light saber.

@Habbaku. She does seems young, but that's just the theory I read.

Maybe she was sealed in carbonite for a few decades.

You got me curious, so I looked it up.

The only relative of Padme ever shown in the movies is her father (albeit through a deleted scene) - Rusee Naberrie.  So it's possibly she could have had siblings.

But for Rey to be Luke's long-lost cousin on his mother's side seems like it would be verging on self-parody.

It will be self-parody no matter who's kid she is.
