quote from theredbaron "Why do so many people subscribe to the belief that Obi-wan was Owen Lars' brother? Where does this come from? I, for one, thought that Owen should have been a friend of Anakin's, and a surrogate uncle to Luke" because it was in the story conference for jedi, earlier drafts of the screenplay and was official continuity until attack of the clones, as it showed up in the return of the jedi novelization by james kahn.
