In fact, why the hell didn't Obi-wan change his name - calling yourself Ben Kenobi is hardly a foolproof alias - luke put 2 and 2 together quickly enough. And hiding baby luke with Darth Vader's step brother (only living relatives in fact) wasn't too smart either.
pfft, you and your silly logic
actually, if you never show that anakin is vader it will kinda work...only problem is that you then cannot show obi-wan 'kill' vader...and the whole anakin is totally evil...yeah...like i said before...silly logic, it has no place here
this is why i think no mater what you do, and even though the suggestions i made will make the movie flow (albeit) killing a few suprises in a chronological order...i think the movie is really best suited for watching OT then PT at least the first time you ever see it...after you have seen it i think it would work either way. And im not saying this is because of how Lucas did the PT, its more of because of the story that people wanted and that he chose to tell combined with the fact that of the order they were made and that there was obviously no thought given to making the backstory for the original OT (cause then things like changing lukes last name could have been done...though luke lars just doesnt have that ring to it).
