Having Anakin raised on the same planet as Luke makes practically no sense either.

That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved.

Just because Owen thought he should stay on Tatooine doesn't follow that where Anakin is from.

If some Kung Fu Guru types took a child from Washington and everything began to go pear-shaped it would make sense for the whole family to move to New Mexico and suggest the kid stay with them and keep away from the dojo.

This is by far the most reasonable series of events that could have happened to the Lars family. The new Empire has created a refugee crisis by seizing the more fertile agricultural worlds for military use, leaving Owen and Beru to find any interstellar rock they can cling to. They offer Anakin the choice to join them in finding a new home, but he refuses and they depart. Anakin never knows where they end up, and isn't particularly interested in finding out.

Oh, and Episode 7 looks promising, I guess. ;)
