why not LUKE LARS???

Yoda is cool - size matters not!

in some cases it does!

Oh, Right. OK 🙁

I think Luke Skywalker is more inventive than Luke Starkiller

indeed and Starkiller is somewhat a negative name, hence the killer part

that name got burried a long time ago

...in a galaxy far far away. 😈

On a backwater planet called Tatooine. 😉

Simple reason : ANH was made back in 77 ... Lucas didn't have the WHOOOOOLLLLE story down to the exact details ..... he didn't know he'd be filming episodes 1 and 2 two whole decades later ... leave alone that ... he didn't even know if he would be filming episode 5 ... therefore at that point, I doubt he had thought of details like why they would name him "Skywalker" AND put him on Tattoine ... because that doesn't make logical sense ... if they were trying to hide him from Vader, they couldn't have done a worse job. Point being, when you're trying to thread together a storyline that's as long and involved as this one, with a gap of 20 years in between making movies, sometimes you'll encounter these kinda bloopers .... Luke Skywalker obviously sounded a lot better than Luke Lars in 77 ...

wow in depth analysis.....way to deep

In the books Owen was actually Obi-Wan's brother but I don't know why it would be Luke Skywalker instead of some fake name. I might check into that.

Maybe because that's his name....

It's a bit odd though, I agree. Why hide your son from the universe's most evil man and still name him after him? But this kinda thing happens when you make up a story as you go.

Its a movie thats why

Ah.... really?

it is , belive me

I never thought that.

well now you know,....... wanna discuss the bible too

Always.

well it is a fairytale too

I must disagree there.
