KMC Forums - Putting it together......

I was recently thinking how this could all tie together, linking EIII with IV and the question of Anakin and Owen, i came up with this theory, i'm going to throw in a few random quotes from the saga as we go through just to give credence to what i'm saying, so here goes....
Anakin and Padme have these high dreams, Anakin of being a Jedi Knight and playing the hero, Padme of serving her people, now what if these two people throw this all away in order to be together, living in married bliss on Tatooine as moisture farmers. The things which sway me towards these events happening are:
1. Shmi's death, which is bound to traumatise Anakin and after his two encounters with the dark side in EII may lead him to the conclusion that it is too dangerous for his friends for him to remain a Jedi.
2. His love for Padme, after the assasination attempts, they both realise they will never be left in peace, unless they disappear to the outer rim and the sanctuary of the Lars homestead.
3. Owen's familiarity with Anakin, "Your Uncle thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved." After the jedi have suffered massive casualties due to the Clone Wars, General Obi Wan returns to Tatooine in search of his former pupil, to ask for his help in the wars and maybe Owen too "I can't get involved! I've got work to do! It's not that i like the Empire, i hate it, but there's nothing i can do about it right now, it's such a long way from here." "That's your Uncle talking." And refuses to be drawn into what he tells Anakin is a "Damn fool idealistic crusade." Anakin of course goes with Obi Wan and turns the tide for the overwhelmed Jedi. Palpatine seizes on this and turns Anakin into a galaxy wide hero. "Skywalker? Outer rim? Of course, i saw your father fly when i was just a boy." This appeals to Anakin's growing arrogance and Palpatine seeing this in the boy begin's to offer him more 'forbidden fruit' until the die is cast and his fall to the dark side is complete.
Probably way off mark, but we'll see.....
