I'm not quite married to my version starting on Tatooine...but I have been engaged to it for awhile. Will have to consider it more. Hmmm...

I have considered many ideas of using Coruscant in a NPT, or in a new RotJ, or even in an outline for what if RotJ wasnt the end but the stepping stone for Episodes 7-9 in which Coruscant could then appear in E9. However, I think the more it crops up, the more it reduces the perceived size of the galaxy. And with the example of Coruscant, even more so when specifically showing the senate because it instantly shows how many (and how few) systems are represented.

Reusing Tatooine creates the same problem. So much so that I would even suggest Jabba be moved to another planet, even if it looks identical apart from an establishing shot of the planet which shows it has more water than Tatooine. Not all planets have to be completely different and have only a single type of terrain, otherwise we run out very quickly (as George did).

If you want a mention of Owen's disapproval I would suggest having a conversation between Obi Wan and Anakin where Obi Wan states that Owen was just angry and Beru will forgive Anakin. Then Anakin could say that he has no idea which planet they will even end up on now the war has spread so far (or something to this effect). This way nothing in the OT is contradicted so it all makes sense when viewed 1 to 6, and E4 will actually expand on what is hinted at in E1. In addition, suggesting that Beru and Owen are travelling to a new planet, the location of which is unknown to Anakin would make Obi Wan leaving Luke there much less stupid.
