One of the things that didn’t sit right with me was how Owen and Ben interacted at the end. Owen became more sympathetic towards Ben and allowed him to meet Luke. he had only showed animosity towards ben and wanted him to have nothing to do with Luke, yet right after Luke almost gets killed because of Ben, he suddenly lets him now him. Then switches back to keeping him away from Luke at all costs in ANH. That encounter gave the writers the perfect opportunity to show why Owen wanted ben as far away from Luke as possible. But, no, they screwed it just so he could get his Skyhopper model.
I could see how another nine years in the sand would likely do that. Owen is older, knows he can’t physically defend Luke any more. He’s hoping that moment is ancient history at that point, and is doing everything he can to keep Luke from reaching for the stars. He doesn’t want “Old Ben” coming around and making it even more difficult to keep Luke grounded and safe.
