My philosophy here is that since this is a take Lucasfilm took, if I default to the "top-level" worldbuilding and characterization takes, I'm less likely to accidentally introduce worldbuilding etc inconsistencies. (And some of the EU stuff had, uh, very bad takes on the Jedi I am 0% interested in.) If I want to intentionally substitute in another piece, then that's something I'll have thought about, basically? So it's a way of figuring out a default that has the least mismatch.
According to TCW (S04E11), Shmi and Anakin were sold to slavery after Anakin has been born. WHAT. I don't remember that at all! I think a rewatch is in order...
(Though that does make sense considering that Anakin says that they only came to Tatooine when he was 3, all the way back in TPM. And all of everyone seems to have forgotten that too, lol.)
