Shmi, Anakin...Cliegg, Owen

Yep, they had a big one up when they shot obi-wan getting knocked down off the platform in Menace, where Maul kicks him off to separate Kenobi and Jinn. They shot it outside with a huge blue screen. The pod race scene had some two. Lots of movies do it. they were shooting Van Helsing across the street from my last job and they had a huge castle front set up, and a huge blue screen behind it, its actually cloth, they drapped it down the side of a lot of crates, like those metal crates you'd see at a port. They blue screened the guy's legs in Forrest Gump that was in a wheel chair so they could take them out later. They blue screen everywhere and anywhere.

oh thats what you get for never watching the second dvd 😉

yeah, you really should man, that's stuffs neat. but i know not everybody likes to know how the magician does it. because I do think about how they did it when I watch it, thats enjoyable for me, but a lot of people would be annoyed.

hence my saying Obi-wan would need to be there. You think he's just gonna leave him on their door step? Without some sort of explanation? Of course there's some sort of explanation, even if it is tweeked with the Obi-wan "point of view" nonsense. but an explanation will be told to the Lars. They know he's family, since Luke does call them Uncle and Aunt. I'm sure they didn't figure that out by just looking at a baby dropped off at their house.

Owen seems to think that Obi-Wan is a crazy old hermit so something must of happened between the two of them. Maybe Owen doesent know who Obi-Wan realy is, so that everything can be kept safely anonymous.
Obi-Wan being Lukes watcher, maybe had to keep a low profile by
playing a crazy act. So there will probably be not much of an explanation given to Lars.

Owen does know what it's all about, imho

he knows the truth about his Vader and all and if OB1

Spoiler:
delivers Luke to them

Yeah, but why does he have an attidude with Obi-Wan if he gets the story?

because his stepbrother went evil because Ob1 can't teach? (according to him)

He barely knew his step brother. Anakin didnt even bother to
say goodbye before going to save Obi-Wan in AOTC. He only met him
once and nothing happened between them during that time.
Its not as if Anakin was his half-brother.

well, the fact is that he didn't liked OB1 or jedi in general 😖

so something must of happened or Owen got over-protective with Luke
or Owen doesent know Obi-Wan's identity even though he has an explanation.

actually Obi wan lives like a hermit on tattoine, no wonder owen finds him a bit strange

Finti_Have you read the rest of the page. That has already been mentioned.

If you meant that Owen thinks Obi-Wan is strange and therefore doesent
know his real identity, than I agree. I've also said that before.

My theory has always been, even pre PT, that Owen knows about Anakin to some degree, about his turning. He answers Beru's "hes got too much of his father in him" with "that's what i'm afraid of". He knows something about Anakin enough to fear Luke turning out like him. And the best way to ensure that Luke doesn't turn out like Anakin is to keep him as far away form Jedi as possible. That's why he tells Luke his father was a pilot on a spice freighter, so he doesn't ask questions about Jedi. Obi-wan says to Luke, that Owen feared "you'd run off with Obi-wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade, like your father did". Owen knows most, if not all of what happened. He's trying to protect Luke from his father, and from a possible self that Luke doesn't know he has.

I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that I likethe Empire. I hate it! But there's nothing I can do about it right now. It's such a long way from here

yeah i agree. i thought that too, i'm sure others had stumbled over the tusken massacre, and Owen would have easily put two and two together, like you said about Anakin coming back from what is certain death for everyone else (and he didn't have a scratch on him). And yeah, its pretty obvious Owen wants him on the farm and that the war doesn't concern him, but I think that's too simple for the kind of physical (look at the shift in body language) reaction he has when Beru mentions Anakin, he shifts his position and looks very intense, I think Owen knows how dangerous Luke could be if he ever left the farm. this could be because of knowing Anakin killed the Tuskens, or knowing he's Vader. Either way, i think he knows that it is essential to keep Luke on the farm, not just for the sake of having extra hands ("there's more than enough droids..."😉. I think he knows that Luke could be as dangerous as Anakin, and keeping him on the farm, and trying to squash that need for adventure are the only ways to do that.

maybe but I am afraid we put too much into it, Star Wars is after all suppose to be a straight forward story of the battle between good and evil, so .......I just think he wanted Luke to stay out of trouble, cause Owen is more concerned about the mentioning of Ben Kenobi, that really sends him of into a fit.

because he knows thats the first step of the journey.

this is probably in the top 5 things I want answers in III. We'll get something for this since we get a drop off scene, but I just hope its not dumb.
