De acordo com o (canon) Star Wars: de um certo ponto de vista história curta Beru Whitesun Lars , Owen e Beru estavam plenamente cientes da paternidade de Luke e do fato de que seu pai havia se corrompido pelo lado negro da Força.
But it turns out when someone puts a sweet little newborn into your arms, you can’t say no—even if that baby is your husband’s nephew by his stepbrother who’s embraced the dark side. You know things may not turn out well, but just like with blue-milk cheese, you do the best you can with it.
And it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Luke was such a sweet, happy little boy. He was no trouble at all. Not to say he wasn’t mischievous, always getting into one scrape or another. But he didn’t have a mean bone in his body—unlike a certain someone I could mention (all right, fine. I’ll mention him: I mean his father).
Curiosamente, isso parece entrar em conflito com a história em quadrinhos da Star Wars Marvel (também considerada uma fonte canônica de informações sobre o universo de Star Wars) em que Owen parece saber apenas o história disponível publicamente sobre a morte de Anakin, que ele morreu defendendo o Templo Jedi de tropas clone ansioso após o golpe Jedi contra o chanceler .
