:[an observation]:
now you notice, everyone - even girls (yes, you) - assumes that owen (*spit*) is the impotent...sorry...important one. the old theory in the days before the prequels was that he was kenobi's brother. leaving aside the fact that no one, no matter how stupid they were, no matter how defective their owen-(*spit*)-spawning genes were, would name their kids owen (*spit*) and obi-wan...leaving that aside, the entire premise of this owen-(*spit*)-worship was a throwaway line from a tie-in novelisation. think about that. you lot (note i exclude myself. *smug*) over-looked her. you didn't see that she, not her stupid, annoying husband, was the important one.
and that is why obi/beru is here. to fix that. drastically. to explore the much better theory that beru was the fabbest person ever. if you were obi, would you leave luke - irritating device for anakin's redemption that he is - with owen (*spit*)? look at owen (*spit*). he's unshaven, scruffy, smelly (you can tell), short-sighted and useless. ahem. beru is calm, collected, capable and other good words.
by ignoring the fabosity of beru you have crimed (eh?) against her. so, anyway, umm...yes...err...go look at the rest of the site...shoo...shoo...
:[about beru]:
aunt beru first came to our attention as the beru half of 'owen-and-beru' in the first star wars film. (no, not the new first one, the old first one...silly.) She farmed water in a desert and cooked meals that consisted entirely of leeks and blue milk. despite the care of uncle owen, luke skywalker survived into adulthood, presumably because of beru. but we cannot blame her for luke's failure to die; she was only doing what she had to to, y'know, save the galaxy from evil an' stuff. beru died because of luke - let us not forget this. (well, actually because of princess leia being useless enough to get captured by her evil father, but i always find it far more theraputic to blame luke.)
beru has about three minutes of screen time out of the nine thousand hours the full 'trilogy-of-more-than-three' lasts. a heroic character with such an integral role in the plot gets less time than jarjar bloody binks. obi/beru exists to redress that balance. and to annoy people. but mainly to redress the balance.
learn to love me, assemble the ways...
