Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

I find it amusing how Star Wars has convinced us to use the word "youngling"!

those kids were around 10 or so werent they - its 10 years later, Reva could be early 20s …

One of them is confirmed to be Nari (the fugitive jedi). Who appears to be in his early 20s (the actor is older, but he is acting). Reva would be the same. No problem.

that's because they won't get off our lawn,

Those would be plausible, but in that case the opening sequence of the younglings fleeing the temple attack serves no narrative purpose. Law of narrativium says Reva has to be one of those kids, and is therefore a former Jedi Padawan.

It served continuity. Those seemed like the group that ran into Anakin to me.

Evil always seems harder to kill. Look at all the Jedi who died just from some blaster fire during Order 66.

That's because when good guys/friends/mentors die, it's to give other heroes motivation. If they came back, it would cheapen the inspiration they give/heroism they performed.
Bad guys constantly coming back may be annoying, but dead heroes coming back is really infuriating.

I remember being annoyed by the term when they first used it in the prequels. (Really? "Youngling"!?)

I still hate it, but I have gotten used to it.

Hmm.

Hatchling, nestling, fledgling, duckling, gosling, starling... Jedi are birds!

The word "Padawan" was annoying enough. Lucas doubled down with "youngling".

Well, I'm not surprised.

Swan, Palawan Blue Flycatcher, Palawan Bulbul, Palawan Flowerpecker, Palawan Scops Owl...

I mean, Palawan? He changed one letter! More proof of Jedi being birds!

The Force is strong with this one.
