Spoilers 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series [Spoiler Discussion]

I really liked what little we saw of Beru and Owen. And that makes me angrier that little ingrate whiney brat has barely shed a tear on those who had been loving parents to him.
Skywalker’s don’t cry. They’re real men. :)
 
So the Empire is hunting Force-sensitives to kill or recruit them. This puts Luke in enormous danger. But as of the start of ANH, Luke has no idea what the Force is, let alone that he’s a potential target for Empire. Nor does he know the significance of the name “Skywalker.”

He can’t stay on the farm forever, at least not without knowing why, and Owen and Beru haven’t done the bare minimum to prepare him to protect himself when he leaves. They’ve just kept him completely oblivious to the danger.
 
And knowing that, I'm going to assume that 'the academy' that Luke wanted to join is nothing to do with the Empire as was previously assumed.
 
The Palpatine makeup works, though, because it looks a little simpler and closer to the way he'll appear in ROTJ. I know there's that big sticking point of the ROTS makeup in the hologram scene of ESB but, oh well, inconsistent appearances are a trademark of major sci-fi/fantasy franchises.
 
It was the imperial academy.
Which was never an option. Somebody with Luke’s midichlorian count and the name Skywalker isn’t going to go to the academy without getting noticed by the Inquisitors.

But Luke doesn’t know that. Owen just keeps stringing him along with the “maybe next year” lie. What a jerk.
 
I know some people were upset that Duel of the Fates and Battle of Heroes weren’t used during the fights but I quite liked the new music. I thought they were a nice new additions to the franchise.

The Inquisitors where I think gone by that point. A bunch were killed during Rebels, and that was a few years before Luke enters the picture.
