PT Did Anakin ever talk to Owen In between AOTC and ROTS?

Discuss.

 

I agree. You could tell in The Clone Wars Movie that when they had to return to Tatooine he hated it. I think Anakin is too busy fighting in the Clone Wars anyway. I also think that Anakin kind of had resentment toward the Lars Family because they left his mother get captured by the Sand People in the first place. Any theories?

 

no

End Of Disscussion

Seriously though, why would he? he knew him for a day and was busy every day in a galactic war

he had no time to visit for a nice cuppa blue milk or write a postcard

what would he say?

dear brother in law i don't really know,

how is life on the farm? I hope Clieeg has managed to find his leg. Nothing new to report here, Grievous is on the run and Padme and I got married in secret on Naboo, hope you and Beru marry soon, take care and polish Shmi's grave for me,

later Bro,

Anakin "Annie" Skywalker

 

Well, at least that explains how Palpatine found out about the marriage...

 

......and Owen probably never got the letter.


(cue the 1967 top 40 hit by The Boxtops.....)

 

No, he blamed them for his mother's death so i doubt he visited them

 

Given how little time he spent with them, it does seem a bit strange that Obi-Wan took Luke to them. Anakin was more or less a stranger with no blood relationship to Owen. How could Obi-Wan have known that they would agree to bring up this child (who, if discovered by the Empire, could bring terrible danger)?

 

I imagine that Owen would have taken Luke since he was Shmi's grandson, in large part. Cliegg Lars certainly seemed to have loved her a great deal and Shmi would have essentially been Owen's mother for a number of years. Also, given that Owen said that he thought Anakin might show up one day, it's clear that Shmi talking so much about him would have demonstrated her love for her son. For his stepmother's memory (and a chance to raise a child), I think Owen would have taken the risk.

 

Yes, that does seem to be the reasoning and it makes sense, but Obi-Wan was assuming quite a lot based on no previous experience of Owen and Beru! It's fortunate that he turned out to be right.

 

I never got the impression in AOTC that Anakin and Owen actually liked each other. However, Anakin seemed able to communicate much better with Cliegg.

 

Not all family members have to be genetically blood related!!! My pets aren't!!! Neither are children/people that have adoptived families/adoptived parents!!!

 

This sounds like one of those classic Bob Newhart comedy routines from the 60s where he does one side of a theoretical telephone conversation from history. Here's the one where it's a conversation with Sir Walter Raleigh circa 1620:

 

Fixed

 

oh yeah

oops,

 

It is highly unlikely that Anakin ever visited Owen and Beru. It is true that he did not like Tatooine mainly because of the sand being coarse and gets in everything. It is a little ironic that Owen and Beru were killed over two droids that were initially his.

 

I agree with this view. Also, I got the impression that Anakin and Owen did not warm to each other.

 

I'm more curious as to how Obi-Wan and Yoda were even aware of their existence. It's not like Anakin sat them down and said, "So apparently my mother was freed ten years ago, married the Lars who live in a homestead located at these coordinates. Lovely bunch. Loyal, family-oriented, that sort of thing."

 

Either they knew about Shmi's death and about the Lars(from Anakin or otherwise offscreen) or they simply tried tracking Shmi down, found that she died, and that she was married to Cliegg Lars before she died and decided to put him there since they're Anakin's only relatives.

 

They know that he was on Tatooine and not Naboo. Anakin only told them part of the story, not all of it. Obi-wan knew he was on Tatooine due to the tracking device and he would have to come clean as to why he was not on Naboo. But he wasn't going to tell them about what he did. When Obi-wan tells Luke about Owen's feelings, he is referring to conversations that he's had with Owen about Anakin and in that, is where he felt that Anakin shouldn't have gotten involved in the war.

As to Anakin ever going to see them, according to all official material and even some of the old EU, he never went back to the farm again. He was on Tatooine a couple of times during the war, but he had no interest in visiting the Lars and opted not to visit his mother's grave.

 

The Lars really meant nothing to him. While he would have been considered family to them via marriage, they were more Shmi's family than his.

To him they were just nice people, that had no meaning to him.

 

Maybe they looked them up on Facebook?

 

Maybe, after AOTC, Anakin was debriefed, having to explain what he was doing on Tatooine - and most of the events (except the Tusken massacre) were disclosed?
