So You Just Met Your Relative From The Future, Friday
To say Obi-Wan looked mildly perturbed to be here with a wholly different Skywalker covering a very strange subject would be... an overstatement. There was a hint of it in the arch of his brow, but that was about it. He strode through the classroom with confidence.
"Welcome," he said, "To this class on a rather particular kind of strangeness that this island will bring to you. As you may know, it is a nexus between various worlds, and... various times. Oftentimes, this simply means you'll encounter people from places you have never heard of. Sometimes, it gets rather more... complicated. Personally."
Ben nodded vigorously. "I'm Ben Skywalker," he said with a tiny smile and a trace still of a Coruscanti accent. "And yeah, I'm one of those Skywalkers."
Sorry, Ashoka's brain. "I'm Anakin's grandson. Luke's son. And Cade's grandfather, which may mean more or less to you depending on where you fall on which timeline."
He spread his hands. "Now if you've been here for more than a few days, you've probably met some future children from possible timelines. You might have met people from your own galaxy but a different time. And it can give you a huge headache, and that's okay. It takes some time for your brain to adjust."
Obi-Wan cleared his throat. "My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi," he established. "The best way to begin preparing yourself for these headaches is to think of the worst," he said. "So I would like you all to give your name, class, and one situation in which meeting a relative - past, present or future - would be very awkward for you, or worse."

She would soon learn it could get much, much worse.
