Clever ideas.
Maybe Tat is never named in the PT until the end or given a different name?
Why give it a different name?
I dunno, I get the feeling that Tatooine can be used in the PT, but maybe more sparingly than in the official version. I.e. one wants to make sure that Anakin does not become Luke 2.0, and showing a great deal of Anakin's setup at Tatooine will likely come across as too much of a Luke-rip off. Lucas managed to avoid that by making Anakin a kid, but that came at a great cost to the narrative. My solution is having Anakin (and Owen and Beru) being somewhere else at the start of the PT, but their paths will diverge at Tatooine. That way, setup is done somewhere else, but there's still a way to show the viewer the events behind how Ben descrbes the conflict with Owen.
