#tired of y'all sleeping on owen and beru

[tending-the-hearth]

the Kenobi series said Owen Lars Supremacy and I am fully here for it because i have so many emotions and thoughts about Owen as the best father.

Owen is so fiercely protective of Luke, because that's his boy, that's his son, and no matter what, he's going to do everything in his power to make sure that his Luke grows up to be happy.

Shmi probably told Owen stories about her Ani, his brother, and can you imagine how excited Owen must have been to one day meet Anakin? And then he does, and it's under the worst circumstances, because Shmi's gone, but they're still brothers, still family.

So when Obi-Wan shows up with a little bundle that holds a baby with Anakin's eyes and Padme's nose, of course Owen and Beru don't hesitate to take him in as their own. They only knew Anakin and Padme for a little while, but that was long enough to determine that Anakin was Owen's brother, Padme was Owen's sister, knowing what was going on even before Anakin and Padme fully admitted it to each other, so seeing Luke in Beru's arms, Owen saw the chance. He couldn't protect his mother, his brother, his sister, but he could protect Luke.

Owen didn't know much about Anakin after he was freed, but what he did know, he told Luke, because no matter what happened to him, Luke deserved to know who his father was, because those stories deserved to be passed on.

Yes, Padme and Anakin are Luke and Leia's biological parents, but Leia will always be Bail and Breha's daughter, just as Luke will always be Owen and Beru's son
