Lego games are fun. People say they are all the same, but I haven't really played any of them since Lego Star Wars 2, so I guess it's going to feel pretty fresh to me. Shame it didn't come out closer to the film. But damn... They're already advertising season pass and 'exclusive content' even for this...
Boyega said he started with British, but was asked by J.J. to change it on the go. I think they pick whatever sounds better for characters.
Grand-daughter, people. Not daughter.
He also had a teacher who didn't subscribe to every bit of the Jedi's teachings and a student who helped destroy it. One of the lessons at the end of the ROTS (imo) is that dogma can be dangerous and the Jedi were partially responsible for their own destruction. I would imagine all that time in isolation would make Obi Wan rethink his principles.
Obi-Wan and Yoda certainly went against their own teachings and lessons when they agreed to teach Luke, who, for whatever else he might be, was certainly too old and not of the right mind for Jedis of old.
On the other hand, the overall story of the prequels was already known going into the movies so the books wouldn't give away all that much. This new trilogy is all new story, so it makes sense they aren't releasing the novel in advance.
I do not agree in regards to episode 3. We knew Anakin would become Vader but we did not know why or how. How & why the remaining Jedi vanished was also not known prior to episode 3.
