Thanks to Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One, and A New Hope, the Star Wars saga has covered the beginnings of the Rebel Alliance and its first major victories against the Empire.
Three years passed between the end of A New Hope and the beginning of Empire Strikes Back, and there are many unanswered questions.
Did Luke and Leia ever have a “Hey, that’s weird!” moment after discovering they have the same birth date?
It would be a shame to stop all the story momentum just because the Death Star blew up and Princess Leia started distributing medals on Yavin IV.
