How about the Obi-Wan film from the OP, but with a twist: he's one of two leads.

The film starts with Obi-Wan Ben explaining to a reluctant Owen that he must take care of Luke. Flash-foward a bit (ten years) and we get to see Luke meet Ben for the first time. He comes back home late, and Owen chastises him. Rebellious Luke decides to stay out late again, and as he comes home he is kidnapped by sand people. Owen finds out and goes to Ben for help. They set out on a quest through the dunes and caverns of Tatooine, building an understanding of each other along the way.

Once they get to the camp Luke's held at, Ben goes for peaceful methods while Owen engages in bare-knuckled Tusken beat downs. Luke is saved, and Ben and Owen have one final discussion before they part. Ben says one day he will need to teach Luke the ways of the force. Owen vehemently disagrees. He says he knows what happened to his step brother, and that it will never happen to Luke. Ben ignores the comment, says "May the Force be with you," and starts off. Owen takes Luke by the hand. Ben and Owen walk into the sunsets, heading in different directions.

Would be a great vehicle for Ewan McGregor and Joel Edgerton. Also Owen's fists would finally get the respect they deserve.
