    You seem confused about Owen.

    Owen is Anakin’s stepbrother. His father bought/freed/whatever’d Shmi after Owen’s mother died, and neither had anything to do with Anakin’s slavery.

    Tatooine does get annexed back into the Republic/Empire shortly after the events of the movie iirc. In old canon it was always part of the Republic so people get confused on the status a lot. I think the current canon is that was part of the Old/High Republic and had slipped out into Hutt control at some point.

    Now Owen was a slave holder, he owns several droids on his metaphor for a frontier farm in the middle of Manifest Destiny.
