I dunno, Obi Wan Kenobi versus Owen Lars? ....

I gotta go Lars on that one. Kenobi got soft sitting around in that stone igloo for years, while Lars was out there working. And if it's Lars from the NPR version, it's no contest. Dude's even less friendly in the radio version. Luke recants a story about Kenobi showing up at their house one time and Lars ran him out of there.

But Ben was pretending to be a crazy old wizard and didn't want to really interfere with the Larses and Luke's upbringing. He was content enough to watch from the shadows.

I'm mainly saying this because this is Col. Nicholson we're talking about. Otherwise I would agree. The NPR Lars is much more gruff.

Yeah but think about it: Kenobi doesn't even have a farm, let alone a wife to cook for him and do his dishes. You think Owen Lars had it rough, imagine having to hunt your dinner in the desert wilderness every night. Kenobi also lived on the side of a cliff in Tusken Raider territory, and he knew what a Krayyt dragon sounded like (how many people can claim that?). And of course, as soon as a guy in bar starts picking on his friend he totally killed him on the spot, not just beat him up he actually killed him, and then he gave everyone else the "don't fuck with me" look. Don't let the gentle accent fool you, old man Kenobi is tougher than you think!

If one wants to revert to the old ROTJ script idea that Obi-wan and Owen were brothers, I bet they fought each other hundreds of times.

Those were actually 2 stormtroopers that Owen killed with his eyes. He and Beru actually just went to the Toshi station so Owen could whoop Luke's ass and bring him home.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Kenobi wouldn't stand a chance.

That wizard is just a crazy old man.

I'm kinda curious about a match between Owen and Vader.

It would also probably be good fun to watch Owen kick Bigg's ass off tattooine.

The two corpses were really the stormtroopers.

Beru and Owen disguised themselves in their armour got onto the Death Star, placed a long fuse cherry bomb in the exhaust port and rescued all the prisoners other than that trouble bait Princess.

Everybody knows that.

They were last seen on Coruscant giving the whole standing army the birthday bumps on VE day.

Sounds like something they should have been tested for.

Hmmm... Let me see if I can set that up in the ring...

Who Could Uncle Owen hand a serious bare knuckle beating to.

Jar Jar definitely or whiny Hayden Anakin.

I wonder if Owen ever handed a serious bare knuckle beating to Luke.

Owen probably has beaten many droids in his years. Some shiny protocol droid gives him an e chu ta, and that droid will end up looking like 3PO in AOTC.

Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba

This wanted duo might have outrun the Galactic police, but Owen will cook their goose with one hand tied behind his back. Evazan’s features look to have already run afoul of the Lars Family Recipe, and Ponda’s paw can’t compare with a liver shot to the breadbasket.

“Take these two over to the garage - I want them cleaned up for dinner.”
