The Star Wars canon is in almost constant flux. New shows and other stories are always adding to it, or occasionally changing small details. With Obi-Wan and Darth Vader meeting again during the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, originalist fans expressed some concern this would create a genuine plot hole in A New Hope. Yet, in the miniseries’ fifth episode, those concerns are laid to rest. The storytellers find a very clever fix that helps them to avoid any discrepancies or inconsistencies with the original trilogy.A New Hope was the film that started everything. It introduced the world to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader and provided many hints about their tragic past. When they first met aboard the Death Star, Darth Vader told Obi-Wan “when I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master.” For fans that meant them meeting after their fight on Mustafar would present a contradiction. Yet, the dialogue isn’t clear with regard to what Vader is specifically referring to. In Part V of Obi-Wan Kenobi, there are a series of flashbacks, and within those flashbacks is another line that solves all these problems.Ever since A New Hope, a crucial part of Star Wars storytelling involves references to events audiences never saw. When Vader and Kenobi meet on the Death Star, all writer and director George Lucas wanted the audience to know was these characters had a long history. The line about being “a learner” implied that Vader had never gotten the better of his former teacher. Modern Star Wars fans are used to being able to find the full story behind these references in the expanded universe, the films or Disney+ series. If one of these questions is left open — for example, how Palpatine returned in The Rise of Skywalker — it’s not necessarily a narrative contradiction or break in logic.
