Forum:Knowledge Bank/FAQ

These are some frequently asked questions in the Knowledge Bank and elsewhere.

What book(s) should I read?
There are a number of common answers to this question, from Heir to the Empire to Shadows of the Empire to Cloak of Deception. There's a thread at TheForce.Net's Jedi Council Forums dedicated to this very question.

The Jedi Exile can't be female!
Accoring to The New Essential Guide to Droids, she is. Of course, you can play as whatever gender you like in the game, but as far as canon is concerned, she is female.

Why did Obi-Wan say Yoda was his master?
Obi-Wan was likely trained by Yoda as a youngling, as we see with Bear Clan in Attack of the Clones. When speaking to Luke on Hoth, Obi-Wan probably didn't want to waste time explaining the qhole Qui-Gon situation to him. (See Forum:Obi wan...Padawan to Yoda?.)

Are Owen Lars and Obi-Wan Kenobi brothers?
The novelization of the Return of the Jedi said, until more recent printings, that Obi-Wan and Owen were indeed brothers. Leland Chee, however, has declared that they are no longer such. Obi-Wan does have a brother named Owen, who was likely intended to be Lars, but at this point he no longer is.

Was Leia remembering Padmé or Breha?
Padmé.
