Like I said, I noticed it especially with Obi Wan. He was constantly talking to R4 to tell him what was happening. He wasn't doing it to inform the droid he's telling the audience through the droid. I feel kinda silly never noticing how much the droids are used that way.
My Star Wars acumen is basically the major movie releases, some old EU books, and SW video games. I get Ashoka was Anakin's padawan, that somehow never gets brought up in AOTC and ROTS, but how powerful is she supposed to be? I believe she took on Darth Vader and basically won and walked away? I only know this because of the complaints the final fight in the Obi Wan series got.
Is she a good character or just more Disney girl boss?
Aren't girls doing better than boys in school?
