Good morning, Reader. So, here’s a question that’s been bugging me: Why on earth did Obi-Wan let Luke sit there clueless about Leia being his sister? Like, they were literally in the same room, and Obi-Wan just kept that bombshell to himself. Imagine how different that ‘Hoth kiss 💋’ moment would’ve been if Luke knew. Let’s dig into why old Ben played it so secretive. Why Didn’t Obi-Wan Tell Luke Leia Was His Sister in His House? I get it from our perspective as viewers, but come on—leaving...
