why not LUKE LARS???

this is where ob1 and yoda messed up. they bring luke to his step relatives the lars. owen and beru.
if they want luke to be hidden from the now sith lord anakin skywalker who would either turn him to the dark side or kill him, why in the name of God would they name the poor baby Luke SKYWALKER????
that´s a pretty good code name for a hidden baby, isnt it? hehehe
i wonder why vader discovered the rebels in hoth...he was looking for his son, the skywalker who destroyed the deathstar, if he would´ve heard another last name even LARS he wouldn´t mind that much. would he?

Well, after the fall of the republic, Obi-wan and Yoda starting drinking a lot. So their judgement wasn't what it once was.

Well, this is all part of that general mystery, isn't it? I mean, on the surface of it, how crap a place is Tatooine to hide Luke?

maybe they didn´t really like luke at all.

well, Shmi is in her grave there, so a reason not to come back?

They probably wern't trying to hide him.

but then they had the chance Vader seduced him to the dark side of the force too, excapt if he was too lazy to teach him

Well maybe they wanted Luke to know that his parents died or that "Luke Skywalker" sounds so much better that other stupid name

or Skywalker is just as Antilles a common name in the galaxy...

But "Skywalker", doesn't that just give a ring to the ears

Yeah it does.

But I think that the original name for Luke was better.

Luke Starkiller

The Killer of Stars... cover your butt Hayden! you're going down!

The Death to Stars, the Star Death. Destroys stars instead of planets.

for only 1.95 in your Happy Meal 😄

No Luke Lars because that sounds stupid 😄

So does Skywalker when you think about it. But you're used to it and it grew on you.

every name grows on you

Eventually.

I think To is right and they were just drinking a lot to hide Luke on his dad's home planet and to give him the same last night. If this was real life then Luke definitely would've been found. But then in this movie teeny tiny green guys can kick the butt of a big ass scar guy like Dooku.

yes, that's true.
