Weird. In A New Hope it's implied that Owen is Anakin's real brother. Plus, Owen seems to dislike Obi-Wan quite a bit, according to pieces of dialogue, so it seems weird to pair the two as brothers...Originally Posted by Jentleness
How does Uncle Owen's relationship to Luke change the narrative?
And I don't necessarily see identification as brother and then step-brother as different. Technically my sister is my half-sister but I never call her that, she's just my sister. I know other people that don't call their relations by the "step" part.
You misunderstand me, Owen was originally identified as Obiwan Kenobi's Brother, not Anakin's step-brother. Once the new trilogy came out, they apparently took the blurb about Obiwan's brother out of The Return of the Jedi book.
Oh, well. As Lucas made the prequels, he mostly ignored the history Obi-Wan laid out for us during the original trilogy, anyway.
