Forget for a moment all the other films, books, video games, whatnot. There is only Star Wars. The way Obi-Wan tells it, I could get the impression that Obi-Wan, "Anakin" for lack of any other reference, and Darth were a trio during the Clone Wars. It seems logical to assume Obi-Wan and Anakin would be around the same age. Darth would have been younger, probably Luke's age back then - "a young Jedi named Darth Vader".

The mystery component in all this is Owen. The name Lars never actually shows up in the movie - not even the credits. For all I know his name really is Owen Skywalker. If I am to conclude that Obi-Wan and Anakin would be around the same age, then I can logically conclude that Owen is the younger brother - "that wizard is just a crazy old man".

Now, I did consider whether Owen could have been a Jedi as well. But there is a line that pretty well crushes that - "he felt your father should have stayed here and not gotten involved". You could stretch it and say something like maybe he trained but gave it up for a simpler life. But even then, the wizard line seems to indicate a general disdain for Jedi. Although it's entirely possible that disdain came out of the death of his brother - of which he clearly blames Obi-Wan for. I guess because he trained Darth and couldn't keep him from killing Anakin?

One other note I want to bring up is the Clone Wars. Having absolutely no other reference, it occurred to me the word Clone could have just as well been the name of system or a family or a gang or some strange class of starship. Starship technology that could project a fleet of ship clones? Why not?

Meh. If you read through all this nonsense, congrats. It was just something I was thinking about after watching Star Wars(the unmolested version thank you very much).
