2. Owen isn't blood related to Anakin expect by his dad being married to Anakins mom. So the chanes of Owen being a Jedi is slim to none.

3. Obi Wan is clearly lying about how Lukes father died, obviously to protect Luke from the Dark Side.

As for the title, anyones guess, but rumors had it is that Lucas had the scripts 1-3 written long before 4 was a thought. Would Episode one have been any better if it was made in '77?

You really need to read a book called Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays.
Amazon.com: Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays (9780345409812): Laurent Bouzereau: Books

(Buy a used copy!) This is officially sanctioned by Lucas. In it you discover the first draft of Star Wars that is NOTHING like the movie we got, nor were the first drafts of ESB or RoJ anything like we was made. The original plots were completely different - and Lucas took a while to decide on the family relationship between Luke and Vader, much less Leia.

Now, there was an interview with one of the cast (either Mark or Harrison) in which THEY mention as they are pushing ESB that there was talk about a prequel to tell the story of the fall of Vader and in that interview they spell out Episodes 1-3 a little bit:

So, to be clear, Lucas hadn't written anything about these movies except what you might infer from episode 4. From that, no one would have envisioned the Clone Wars we got (and are still getting! - when will Obi-Wan fight with Bel Organa?), Pod Racing, the two Sith only rule (which Lucas has already broken in the cartoon!), or the Separatist robot army.
