Cute, but the same tiresome problem that always comes up with the obsession with doing prequels: Tell me you ever watched any part of the OT and thought to yourselfYes, clearly Leia was very familiar and friendly with Obi-Wan and they had all sorts of zany adventures together when she was a kid. I guess she just kind of forgot about that for 20 years or so until she decided to name her son after him
The unavoidable problem with prequels is that you either have to heavily restrict yourself, or just shrug and say, "Fuck it, every one of these characters develops crippling Alzheimers in X years."
Leia never actually interacted with Obi Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. She sent the droids to Obi Wan with a delibrately vague message given the high probability of them being intercepted, her brother got it because Ben was there watching him anyway. Obi Wan and Luke catch a ride with Han and Chewie to rescue Leia. Luke, Chewie, Han and the bots go to get Leia out of the hoosegow Obi Wan goes and turns off the tractor beam. On their way to the Falcon Obi Wan confronts Vader for the last time and the rest of them fuck off into space.Why he moved out and then moved back again I guess we'll never know
She said one sentence to him in a recording that she made while her ship was being bombarded by an Imperial cruiser. There isn't a lot of time for "Hey, remember when I was ten and someone kidnapped me to get to you? Well..."

I mean..yes? A personal appeal to a man she knew well and who saved her life previously would have made more sense than "General Obi-Wan Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars..." (which for extra irony he didn't actually do, because even the guy who created Star Wars couldn't avoid the prequel trap)

Sorry, where is the lie? Kenobi was a General in the Grand Army of the Republic (as were all Jedi), and as such he was subordinate to both the Jedi Council and the Galactic Senate - the latter of which included Bail Organa who, at that point in time, Leia knew as her one and only father.
So technically the statement is correct.

Only in the most tenuous sense that no human being would actually use in that context. It's like approaching some random veteran of the second Iraq War and going, "You served Senator Bernie Sanders during the War, and he needs your help again!".
To whatever extent Lucas had planned things out in the OT, it's pretty clear that Obi-Wan was supposed to have had some far more direct and personal connection to Leia's father than "He was one of the 2,000 senators in the civilian government that the Jedi Order technically answered to during the war."
Doubly silly because, again, the new show establishes that Leia and Obi-Wan knew eachother personally and had wacky adventures together.

Well, if you watched RotS, you’ll see that Kenobi and Organa were very close
Also, Leia only knows Obi-Wan as Ben (which is why she reacts so much when she hears his name in the OT). A little bit of a stretch, sure, but helps to fill in that plothole

Agreed. I think I’ll be disappointed because this show is supposed to be darker, but Disney doesn’t want to seem to want to do that enough.

The odds of the story being about Andor taking care of a small child are not zero. Either that, or a small child being part of the main cast. Disney is like an A.I. when it comes to repetition of ideas.

Andor is the small child, but through experimentation he's been turned into an adult and has to learn how to be an adult from a wise old Jedi master living in a swamp while being hunted by Darth Vader who believes Andor is his son.

Andor smuggled baby Yoda out of the temple.
