Added DiffLines:

*** Owen is also just trying to protect Luke. He knows Luke resents him for keeping him on the farm, but he knows that keeping him alive and safe is more important. Luke, for his part, is left to resent his aunt and uncle and it's not even their fault. With ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' in hindsight, they very much remember the night a lone Inquisitor hunted their boy, and ''Rebels'' will also detail how any Imperial recruits are checked for the Force. It's quite possible they're also afraid that, away from them, Luke might become radicalized by the Empire.


Added DiffLines:

** Owen and Beru themselves die and never get to say goodbye to their adopted son, and surely spent their last moments of life praying that Luke would get away if he wasn't already dead. It's some of their worst fears come to life; spending Luke's entire life praying they'd never be found by the Empire, only for them to arrive and them to indeed be presumably relatively helpless to stop them. ''From a Certain Point of View'' also details Beru wishing that Luke will find someone to love and marry.
