I know this is a response to a really old post but here it goes. I know that the “Dark Empire” was EU but both they and the Zahn series (EU) explored the idea of cloned Jedi and force users. Where did they both get that idea? Zahn used the cloning tech to create stormtroopers not far off from the clone troopers that we were sold. Are there some writings, conversations, or other recorded media that reveals insight into the OOT intentions regarding the clones. I really like the idea that OB-1 is a clone and “Ben” being a similar to the Hebrew or Arabic of Ben or bin meaning “son of”. The idea of Owen and Obi-wan being brothers seems be something that made it to the ROTJ novel but was reconsidered in the movie version because of the familiarity by Owen and Beru in ANH. I think there was an intent for a real family connection but they realized that the Anakin following Obi-wan on a “damned fool crusade” would not make sense. Now if Obi-wan followed Anakin then it would make sense. So I think it was caught in ROTJ movie but not caught before the novel until in print. Just my thoughts.
