The main difference between the Rebellion and the Resistance is that one was an organized group of freedom fighters battling an oppressive regime and one (until the use of Star Killer base) was essentially a politically deniable para-military group. Also fuck the whole idea of a light side and a dark side of the Force.

And oodles of “Star Wars” books, games, tv shows and comics that have very little to do with the Skywalkers. Star Wars is a universe, not a single story about a family’s fuck ups. This isn’t Arrested Development.

A lot of kids don’t even know their parents actual names until around that age. They’re just Mom and Dad. Not much of a stretch to believe some desert kid living in squalor would forget most of the details about parents she hasn’t seen in over a decade.

Another one hot off the presses: Snoke wasn’t an interesting or intimidating villain even in TFA. He’s just another bald bastard with a hard on for the dark side. Been there, done that. Didn’t really care where he came from other than being irritated that apparently every group of baddies has to have a force user in…

Hot take: Palapatine was a boring villain

I don’t understand the love for the Skywalker clan, Luke was imho the most boring part of the OT and Anakin was shite as a character (outside of the Clone Wars series). Vader was great as a villain (although my least favorite part of the OT was ROTJ and specifically his redemption. Felt weak).

I don’t think it would have occurred to Luke honestly. To deceitful. Plus I imagine dueling with any skill via the force would be extremely tiring.
