I was watching ANH for the 8 billionth time this weekend and found myself responding to Owen’s “he died around the same time as your father” line re Obi Wan. It occurred to me that a similar angle would have worked for Anakin. I think the one thing Obi Wan and Owen Lars might have agreed upon is the notion of preserving Anakin’s reputation (for Luke’s sake if nothing else) via the official line that Anakin was murdered by the Empire. Of course Owen would go a step further in stating Anakin was merely a navigator on a spice freighter, but it’s still plausible that Obi Wan would agree to run with the ‘your father was murdered’ narrative to keep the peace all round. In ROTJ Obi Wan could admit to Luke that he’d agreed to this way back when, but fully intended to disclose the truth once Luke had completed his training. I think this would be more plausible than “a certain point of view”.
