I hate to defend bad writing, and I hate even more when fiction feels the need to retroactively try to explain things that don't need it, but here goes anyway.

In the novel Kenobi the Tatooine locals find out his last name and immediately start wondering if he's related to any of the other Kenobis they know in the area. So they do at least give a few paragraphs to pointing out that it's a somewhat common last name.

Then there's "Skywalker," where fans say oh it's a common last name that's why no one batted an eye at it. But I just assume that Luke went by Luke Lars up until the events of ANH.

There's probably something in canon that contradicts that, and the Kenobi novel is no longer canon either, but you know what? It's all made up and I don't care, I just picture it like I want to.

    I love the radio dramas. I also love that George Lucas loved NPR so much that he worked with the NPR station near Skywalker Ranch to make it happen.

    I love that George Lucas was in it for the love of the game. He's a true artist.

    edit: fuck me he's pro AI in movies.

    People love to shit on his creative decisions in the prequels... but at least he wasn't making them for the vapid commercially driven motivations infecting everything now a days.

    Dude was passionate about making cool movies in new ways; and he succeeded.

    If you're hiding from Darth Vader, you should always make sure you're hiding somewhere with lots and lots of sand.
