I keep writing responses to this and my computer keeps crashing; it's infuriating. I'm sorry, I'm just gonna have to keep this short.

We write history sections as histories, not play-by-plays. Writing every little action a character does, even if we plan to replace it later, is unflattering and less appealing to read than a short-and-sweet overview of the whole thing later on.

In essence, it's easier just to say "we don't know a lot about this character right now, come back when we do" than "we know he turned around in Episode 1, picked his nose in Episode 2, and laughed in Episode 3!"
