They ain't found shit!

I can appreciate a little fun pointing out inconsistencies while still understanding the movies would be considerably worse if the writers spent any effort trying to prevent Lemmy inconsistency memers.

The post assumes that he is even registered. Kenobi is hiding on a backwater desert planet ruled by a crime syndicate. Unless there is some detail in the movies I forgot, I think it is reasonable to assume that he might not even appear in any imperial registry.

In the Radio Drama, Obi-Wan even says to Han Solo that he hasn't touched money in a long time and has been making his way on his own for some time.

I take that to mean he has no official presence on tatooine.

Plus let's be honest, rim worlds don't exactly have good, robust governments that keep track of everyone. They made that clear early on. You can patrol the streets of major cities and their space ports, but without a major presence, the empire has no idea who lives where in the outer rim.

Plus "Skywalker" would definitely be a common name given how historically on earth a lot of last names correspond to trades and careers, so a "Skywalker" was descended from someone who got their name piloting, or generally being someone who spends a lot of time in space.

So combine all those together with the characters being on a planet that Darth Vader has every reason to hate and disregard, (he was a slave there, his mother died there and he feels responsible, and also... Sand...) the empire could comb the desert and not find shit.

It leaves a bitter taste that the blockbuster Fantasy need to have writing that falls apart the moment you look slightly deeper into it (Star Wars and Harry Potter come to mind).

Darth Vader never once in all those years went to have Thanksgiving Dinner with his half brother.

Think of what good for the Empire would have occured.

You bring up one of my annoyances with Lucas. It's clear, when re-watching Jedi that Luke's black attire is intended to be the dress of a Jedi, indicating that he's finally made it as a full-fledged Jedi knight. And if you look at both Kenobi and Yoda, they are wearing some kind of brown colored shirt under their busted robes that has a similar collar like what Luke is wearing in Jedi. So, like, the robes are covering a Jedi uniform, but are not themselves actual Jedi dress.

By the prequels, Lucas has completely forgotten this and makes Kenobi and Yoda look like they're stupid. And Vader too, for that matter. But, the bright side is that wonderful blue drip that Ben is rocking in the Kenobi series might not have happened, so... trade off?

And existence of a Database Administrator tasked with TRACKING AN ENTIRE GALAXY'S WORTH OF SETTLEMENTS.

Only in the US (that I know of) is the DMV coupled with ID cards.

One on one Anakin is a goat. In a solo space craft, he is also a great.

But he never got to Jedi Master for lots of reasons and I suspect that part of it is his problem with large complex situations. He can't even keep the Han from getting his peeps and two idiot droids from escaping in front of him while surrounded by his troops
