Yoda isn't wearing the same garb, and if Anakin's also from Tatooine...

Yeah, I never saw that as "Jedi" garb either. To me, Anakin and Obi-Wan were just dressed like common Tatooine folk (as alluded to by Obi-Wan in SW: "He felt he should have stayed here and not gotten involved.")

I agree about the robe. We also know (http://web.archive.org/web/20141101101007/http://secrethistoryofstarwars.com/thebeginning.html ) that George wanted the Jedi to wear a different samurai-like outfit (you can still see them wearing it in KOTOR)

Wasn't Obi-wan's quote referred to Owen, though?
