I have a comment. :P Gungans are not reptilian, they are amphibian, but if you did that on purpose, then great, because amphibians wouldn't be able to survive without having a lot of water if they were on Tatooine, and from what we know of the planet, there isn't much water available. So maybe make Gungans reptilian or use a reptilian species.

I'd actually forgotten that gungans are supposed to be amphibians. It's a change I'll roll with, though, seeing as it makes more sense in this context (this gungan is only a minor character who won't be reappearing, anyway, so there's no point in exploring the idea of a water-dependant creature living in a water-deprived environment).

Anyhow, I'm guessing Owen is Obi-Wan's brother in this story, because if not, you're making the Star Wars world too small (especially with the Docking Bay 94 thing). If you are going that way, then that's great and it also means Jedi aren't forbidden contact with family which was a stupid idea in the prequels.

Owen is Obi-Wan's stepbrother, actually. But yes, he's on Tatooine to pay the family a visit -- he's not simply in the right neighbourhood at the right time due to "the will of the Force".

As for the whole "Jedi and forbidden contact" thing, I'm going to point out that in this SW Universe, there are many different Jedi denominations with many differing philosophies and doctrines. The Coruscanti Order, of which Siri is a member, does forbid contact with non-Jedi family members. Obi-Wan, however, who is a ronin Jedi -- ie. an independent Jedi who does not belong to any particular sect -- is not beholden to such a doctrine, and as such can keep in touch/visit with anyone in his family whenever the opportunity is available to do so.
