How would Obi-wan not know Anakin was alive?

Obi-Wan didn't know Anakin was alive because he left him for dead on Mustafar, believing his horrific injuries meant he couldn't survive, and then went into hiding, cutting himself off from galactic news. While the Obi-Wan Kenobi series shows he learned the truth later, his isolation on Tatooine and focus on protecting Luke prevented him from hearing about the mysterious, powerful figure known as Darth Vader for years, a figure he didn't initially connect to his former apprentice.

Is Darth Plagueis technically Anakin's father?

No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.

Why did Padmé not wear a bra?

Padmé didn't wear bras (or underwear) in Star Wars because director George Lucas famously told Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) there was "no underwear in space," a rule extended to other characters like Padmé, suggesting a sci-fi lack of undergarments for comfort or visual reasons, though Carrie Fisher found the rule odd and compared it to Padmé's frequent costume changes, as cited in Wookieepedia and Reddit. While Leia famously went braless under her white robes (using gaffer tape instead), Padmé's elaborate outfits often made bras impractical or unnecessary for the desired look.
