Shmi, Anakin...Cliegg, Owen

In Ep1 Ani is 9/10 and lives with his mother Shmi, both are slaves on Tatooine. When Ani is freed, Shmi remains on Tatooine.
In Ep2 Ani is 19/20, 10 years have passed. When Ani goes looking for his mother he is told by Watto that she was sold and that he heard her new owner freed and married her.
When Ani arrives at the Lars Homestead, Tatooine, he meets Cliegg Lars [Shmi's husband] and Owen Lars [Cliegg's son] who claims to be Anakin's step-brother [because they share the same mother].
Now if only 10 years have passed since Ani was with his mother then how can she have married and had a son who when we see him is an adult? I might have missed something but I was just wondering if anyone else spotted this or knew anything about it.

I guess Watto must have sold her right after Ep1. He was broke remember? Owen is suposed to be younger than Anakin he just doesn't look like it. Remember, life on Tatooine makes anyone look older🙂

They are step brothers not half brothers,so they are only related by marriage.Shmi was not Owen's real mother.

Indeed, Owen Lars is not Shmi's son.

indeed not.

I stopped counting how many times we had this discussion. People seems to have a problem with the difference between a step brother(actually a no relation at all)and half brother(blood related through same mother or father))

i am very familiar with all of the above.

surprisingly enough a lot arent

my mom and dad divorced and remarried so i have a few of them.

Thanks for replying everyone, sorry if it had been posted before, i didnt know. And I'm sorry...I didn't realise he was a step-brother. But that does explain a lot, helps me to understand. Thanks!!
I'm sorry again!! 🙁

No need to apologise! You did actually realise he was a step-brother- you mentioned it in your own post!- just it is easy to confuse the meaning of 'step' and 'half' in your head. No biggie.

No biggie?! Why I oughta... 😄

j/k, it's quite alright Lyn. 🙂

I can't believe this thread hasn't been closed yet... 😆

well then, we must keep it open...so, anyone else upset about the fact that GL basically rewrote what we were led to believe about Obi-wan and Luke and Owen before...?

not really, it never made it into ROTJ, so you always have to be sceptic about it
