I divide the OT further…there is the OC and the RC…the Original Continuity where Anakin and Darth are 2 separate people, and the Reboot Continuity, starting with the second movie, where they are not. I still remember the “I am your father” reveal and thinking “no, you’re not…Lucas said otherwise.” So speaking just of the OC, I always thought Owen Lars as Luke’s mother’s brother…last name not Skywalker, so not Luke’s father’s brother, meaning Luke’s mother was a Lars. Could Beru be Luke’s kin, not Ownen? Upon reflection, yes, of course. Are there any clues at all as to which? In the novelization or maybe even in the Marvel comic books? Needless to say, I was never that much interested in the RC, at least compared to the OC. Making changes like that mid-stream is pretty poor story-telling.
