Well, if the aim is to provide a backstory for ANH, don't you think Owen being a Jedi would jar with the way Ben speaks about him?

Also, I see where you're going with the Willow reference. Would Luke's mother be sneaking him out just before she's executed, then?

I was thinking about Jedi names the other day. I like the idea of apprentices taking a new name when they become Jedi Knights, meaning that Ben Kenobi took the Jedi name Obi-Wan when he became a Jedi Knight. When he went into hiding he stopped using his Jedi name.

This lead to the thought that, if I proceed with my idea that Anakin Skywalker becomes a Jedi Knight before he is murdered by Darth Vader, then Anakin would take a Jedi name. I also think that 'Darth' would be Vader's Sith name and therefore would have had a different first name up until he became a Sith Lord. I do not like the idea of all Sith taking 'Darth' as their first name.

I came up with Anakin taking the name Jai-Yun Skywalker and Ben's apprentice being called Kol Vader.

I further like the idea of Luke taking Jai-Yun as his Jedi name, in memory of his father(?).

Any thoughts? Anybody think those name ideas are crap?
