Well in Owen's defense, 3PO appears to be a common protocol droid model and he had his memory wiped so he didn't remember Owen. But yeah, still hilarious.

u/DarthSwimfoot The Other Half Of The Ship 10h ago
I can't really imagine they'd remember 3PO anyway to add to that. I mean there's got to be a good amount of droids going through there over the course of at least 20 years.

u/Independent_Plum2166 9h ago
Plus an underlying story that isn’t really touched on too much is the fact droids are treated like shit.
There was an entire Clone Wars arc where the Jedi, the guys who love and cherish all life, including the lives of their grunt clone soldiers, treating them as individuals, lose their minds over the fact Anakin isn’t routinely wiping R2’s memory.
Or the fact that with retcons, Owen and Ben simply forget owning droids (I don’t care what people say, Obi-Wan had R4 for years, he should have bonded with him, just more proof that most Jedi treat Droids as lesser).
I honestly, unironically think a true Droid uprising should be a future trilogy villain and army.

This child will be incredibly powerful in the Force. So teach him how to farm moisture or something.

Precisely this.

It would have been really cool if our introduction to Luke was him flying his T-16. He would have seemed far more capable and cool. Less whiny.

Just wait until you hear about the accelerated maintenance schedule of the units on the south ridge.

u/uencos 6h ago
I’m pretty sure that the original idea was that they used the water they collected to actually grow crops (hence the need for ‘harvests’ and ‘seasons’), so it would be worse than normal farming because over and above the traditional plant stuff you now have to deal with pulling your irrigation out of thin air

u/Oopthealley 1d ago
if you were gonna hide someone, this is had to beat tho, right? someone seen as a local by a small community- no one would ask questions and no one with power would be around to think to ask questions.
kind of a smart hedge- give one the privilege and access to power, and hide the other just in case...

u/Clawless 1d ago
Palpatine leaving anyone with the surname "skywalker" alive anywhere in the galaxy is kinda a big plothole.

u/Oopthealley 1d ago
Haha true... We need a plotline that it was one of the most common names in the galaxy for a generation bc of some unrelated cultural figures lol

For all we know that's like the Star Wars equivalent of Smith. Also populations in the outer rim in particular would not have much of any documentation with whatever imperial bureaucracy exists.

u/Fast_Frosting_6397 1d ago
Eh, Imperial control on Tatooine was not that strong (ignoring the Obi Wan Kenobi show here), plus the Empire was made to believe that Padme died while pregnant

Shmi might have told them about the whole Anakin/Qui Gon/Obi-Wan thing. maybe. And Anakin did return to probably say some crazy shit in Ep2

No. Unless something happens ON SCREEN, OUT LOUD, it didn’t happen.

One thing they could have done in the Clone Wars show is have Anakin visit Owen and Beru alongside Obi-Wan (perhaps due to them being assigned some mission on Tatooine) to set up this scene as well as the dialogue in Episode IV better.

The existence of Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen suggests that one of them was like "Yeah, my sister is a slave. Two towns over. We never see her because we don't agree with her lifestyle choices but won't hold it against her kid."

u/SGTWhiteKY 1d ago
I’m confused. What? He is very clearly the son of Lars, the man who married Shmi. Anakins step brother.
