Oh, my bad. I thought that Shmi and Lars (the dude in the hover-chair) got married, and had Owen. But I think that what vstyr said was right, that Lars had Owen before. My bad.

Ok, I must have missed the "midi chlorians" birth thing when I watched I & II. I didn't know that. Also I missed that Owen is Shmi's son. Man I should watch them both again methinks . Despite that, it still doesn't mean 100% that Owen is his blood uncle, but it doesn't mean that he's his step-uncle. It's really, more or less, inconclusive. Reason being the way Anakin was conceived. If he had been conceived by I guess you would say, the "natural" way, then Owen would without a doubt be his step-uncle. But even with the given situation, it doesn't necessarily mean he's his blood uncle either. It's sort of one of those things without a right or wrong I think. Ah well

Edit : lol Never mind. I just noticed your post Joeiss.

Maybe Owen just forgot about them. It's not that unlikely. Even if he did remember them, he'd probably think they weren't the same ones. Or maybe it's because Lucas didn't think there would be a sequel to the original, so he didn't have to worry about being consistent .

I was thinking the latter when I posted it.


I know we pretty much figured it out but just to add on to it, Watto said he sold Shmi a month or a year before (I think), so if Owen was her son, he couldn't be very old at all.

3PO did have that silver-ish rusty body in Episode II. So maybe Owen didn't recognize him in Episode IV because of his new golden shell. Or maybe he picked 3PO because he remembered him...

Its been 20 years since Owen last saw C-3PO. There's also the color switch and most protocol droids looked nearly if not exactly the same so even if Owen remembered C-3PO he probably wouldn't have recognized him.



Also...



Midi-chlorians do not speed up the aging process. Midi-chlorians are the physical side of the Force. You must have gotten them mixed up with the clones, whose aging process were speeded up so that they could have a fully mature clone in less that 18 years.

And Shmi is not the mother of Owen. Lars had Owen in a previous marriage, or at least a previous relationship.

Link's post sums it up pretty well.

It's pretty cool how senator Palpatine (and Jango) were behind BOTH the armies (clones and droids). He just couldn't lose! Now they made him surpreme something to counter the clone attack, while he made it himself!
