My theory on Darth Maul is that he was just a teaser of the Sith,
hinting at the greater evil to come during the Clone Wars in Epidsode
2.

Coule be.  I think I liked it better when the force was all magic, and
less microorganism.

Beru & Owen Lars.  IIRC, they are related somehow to Obi-Wan, and not
Luke at all.  Obi-Wan whisks Luke away, and asks "Uncle Owen" to watch
after him.  Makes you wonder why he didn't just change his name too,
if he really wanted to hide him.
