In full "Lucas apologist mode":

There's, first of all, the "do you remember your mother", "yes", "but she dies in childbirth", "oh, well, i dunno lol" blunder.

She talks about her stepmother (hope it's the right english word...), who is her real mother, to her, at the moment she speaks.

Then of course there's the "he thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved", "what? and remain a slave? gee, uncle owen sure is a dick!" blunder which is also connected to the "how can he make judgements about him leaving tatooine? he never knew him until he came back!" problem.

First it's not Owen speaking but Obi-Wan ( the "point of view" man). Second, Maybe between episode 2 and 3, Owen had conversations with Anakin about how he thinks that he should stay on Tatooine, in the family.

Then there's the "wait, nothing at all happened to my throat or lungs, why do I need a breathing mask again?" problem.

Getting burned like this is not good for the lungs I think!

Then there's the "I was trained by yoda...well, actually, i was trained by liam neeson but whatevs lol"

Yoda personnaly follows young Jedi's trainning. Obi-Wan also learned from him.

and just the overall irreparable fail of the series. No central, identifiable sympathetic main cast and no nasty antagonist.

You got a point here! ;)
