What confuses a Star Wars prequel fan about the original trilogy

Some questions raised by a seven-year-old who'd only seen the Star Wars prequels, on seeing the original trilogy for the first time:

- "Wow! Is the Death Star done already? I guess that's how you know that a long time has passed."
- "Look... Obi-Wan is pretending he doesn't know R2-D2." (see Hole/No-hole: Why doesn't Obi-Wan remember R2? )...
- "Is Chewbacca the only Wookiee that survives the Clone Wars?" (with great concern)...
- "So, does this mean that R2-D2 is really the main character in Star Wars?"
