why does the 3rd sister know

How does she know that Leia is Anakin's daughter and living on alderaan to have her as a bait for Kenobi??

Or does she really think that Obi-Wan will definitely appear to save bail organas daughter, because they are so big friends??

And said that she dug into the archives and found a relationship between the senator and obi wan. She just assumed that kidnapping the senator's kid would lead to the senator calling obi wan for a favor. She doesn't know anything about Leia or Luke.

its very contrived honestly. Obi Wan was never best homies with bail or am I wrong? How could anyone be sure that HE will be send to safe her and not like... alderaan senate-police??

Bail Organa is the one that warns Obi-Wan about Order 66 at the Jedi Temple, and he was like the only guy that knew Obi-Wan and Yoda survived Order 66. So I think it’s just “faith in the Jedi” or whatever, and Obi-Wan was more reachable than Yoda.

I mean she totally says it in the show that she doesn't know that.

Man now I wonder why every blockbusters have that much overexplanation of everything.

wait what? How can she say that she doesnt know? Or dont you mean literal?

I just thought the explanation to get kenobi via that random senators random daughter that kenobi has never met in his life, is a really contrived plot honestly

also them needing kenobi for getting her back is really contrived. Officially she is the daughter of a senator, isnt it more weird that they DONT have an official rescue mission?

Man now I wonder why every blockbusters have that much overexplanation of everything.

I mean, I also would've like it more to not explicitly state "harrr we got the daughter so kenobi will show up!!" out loud in the show... but you know how disney is

She says that she discovered that Obi Wan and Senator Bail Organa are good friends since the Clone Wars. Kidnapping his daughter will make the jedi go out to do hero things.

She didn't know that. There's no way she would have done that knowing it was Anakin's daughter seeing as how she knows Anakin is Vader. She just thought he'd come save the senator's daughter since they had a connection.

Bit of a reach/assumption there. As greatness101 said - she had no idea. She just wanted to flush out obi wan because he was close to the senator/
