Bingowings I enjoy your ideas but man, you guys think George changed the whole meaning of the OT? Bingowings ideas just completely flips on it's side. Why wouldn't Luke ever get to know that Obi-Wan was his uncle? I wouldn't establish any more "surprise!" brother sister aunt uncle cousin relationships in the PT because I thought Leia being Luke's sister was already farfetched enough. I'm going to make another post where I revise my ideas to be more in line with what you guys are thinking, but man, I think some of you guys idea's are a little far out, even more so than Goerge's o_0. Maybe It's because I saw the PT first tho (Don't judge me for it!) idk.

Correct me if need be but is the brother of your uncle by marriage also your uncle?

I don't think of my mum's sister's husband's brother as my uncle...but maybe I'm wrong.

Sure it makes Luke and Ben tenuously related but if he sat him down to explain it all to him it would sound like Spaceballs.

Ah well maybe it's not uncle but he's at least a cousin. Either way I see no reason to add more familial relationships to established characters that weren't already made known in the OT.

How is he a cousin?

A cousin is the child of the sibling of one of your parents, not the sibling of the spouse of one of your parent's siblings.

Well cousin is loosely defined. There are second and third cousins and there can be generational gaps between cousins...I generally call anyone I can't place a name on a cousin. For all intensive purposes it really doesn't matter, I just don't think Luke and Obi-wan should be related.
