So You Just Met Your Relative From The Future, Friday
"Okay," Ben began. "My cousins were twins--a boy and a girl about sixteen years older than me, and I left them back in my home galaxy...and met my cousin Jaina here, only now she was just about my age."
"Sometimes, you will meet relatives from other timelines. We have already covered this," Obi-Wan said. He spread his arms. "What we have not, is the peculiar awkwardness of public functions where two or more of the same relative may be present."
Ben nodded. "My graduation party had two different versions of my dad in attendance."
Ben's life was very, very weird.
"How do you juggle such a situation?" Obi-Wan said. "Where do you seat these people. Do you let them speak? Or will that be strange? What if they are from fundamentally different parts of their lives?"
