Sim, na novela júnior de Uma Nova Esperança, há menção a um incidente quando Obi Wan salvou Luke de morrer no deserto. Evidentemente, Owen não gostou muito e disse para ele ir embora:
Luke hadn’t seen Ben in five seasons, since the time Luke and his friend Windy had ridden a dewback into the Jundland Wastes, a rocky region that consisted of a mesa and a canyon. The dewback had thrown them into a canyon and ran off. By nightfall, the boys were bruised and tired and lost. Then they’d heard a voice calling Luke’s name. Incredibly, it had been Ben. He’d somehow found them, then guided them back to the Lars homestead. I still don’t know how he knew we were lost, or how he knew my name. But if Ben hadn’t helped us …
...
Luke knew his uncle didn’t like Ben, but had no idea why. The night that Ben had found Luke and Windy in the Jundland Wastes and brought them back to the moisture farm, Owen had become furious. Not at Luke, but at Ben. Owen had told Ben to get off the farm and never come back. I thought Uncle Owen would’ve been grateful to Ben for rescuing me. What does my uncle have against him?
Este incidente, e a subsequente conversa de Ben Kenobi com o tio Owen, é explorada com mais detalhes no Webcomic (aparentemente totalmente canônico) " Guerra nas Estrelas " por Hong Jac Ca
