the very last shot would have to be Owen, Beru and little Luke.

and none of these spoilers really clear up the Owen & Beru angle... I'd like to know exactly how / why Luke ends up with them and why Owen feels the way he feels about Ben & Vader. I mean, obviously a lot could be infered without having it explained on screen, but I'm just curious how it
will end up playing out.
Whose to say that this doesnt develop between Ep III and IV? Id be surprised if Obi Wan didnt visit the Lars every now and again to check up on them. Its obvious that Luke know who he is so he must have.
You would imagine that by Obi Wan letting Owen know that the dreaded Darth Vader theybe been hearing about in the news once was Anakin it would all kick off from there.
I mean, if your were an adopted parent who knew your childs natural father had turned into a psychopathic dictator and the guy apparently partly responsible (and those like him) is this plum spoken bearded gentleman standing beside you, you too would want to keep him away and protect the child from ending up the same way.
Right - I don't necessarily disagree with you. That's why I said that a lot of the situation could be infered without having it explained on screen.
However, up to the end of AOTC, neither Ben nor Yoda have met and (I guess we can assume) know nothing of the Lars family. How & why exactly do they make the choice to place Luke with them? Is it by the request of Padme? Does Owen have some sort of interaction with Ben in ROTS where they would be introduced prior to him bringing Luke? Why did they make this choice? That's what I'd like to hear in a spy report. Again, it may be left to us to infer the reasons - I'd just like to know if we'll actually end up seeing - or being told the reason - on screen?
Same thing goes for Owen's feelings towards Anakin / Vader. I mean, yeah - like you said, if I knew that my adoptive kid's parent was a psychopath, I'd try to shield them from that. However, I'm curious to know if we'll see anything on screen that will actually cause Owen to change his feelings towards Anakin? I mean, at the end of AOTC, so far as we know Owen knows nothing of the Tusken slaughter. What's more, Owen doesn't seem to dislike Anakin. Why do his feelings change? Will we see something in ROTS, or will it be left to us to figure out?
Same thing goes for Ben, too. Again, Owen Lars has never met Ben up to the end of AOTC. Why does he think he's a crazy old hermit? Are we to assume something happens in ROTS to make him feel that way, or will it be left for us to figure out, like you say? Why does Ben tell Luke that Anakin should have not gotten involved? We saw nothing in AOTC to indicate that he felt that way (I mean, hell - Anakin just left the planet without so much as saying good bye! Maybe Owen was pissed for that reason alone!

)
Again, I agree with you that a lot of this could be figured out on our own without seeing it on screen. I'm not advocating a fan-boy rewrite of the script or anything. I'm just
curious as to whether we'll actually see any of this stuff on screen in ROTS. No spy report I've seen has touched on any of this.
