Owen Lars and Anakin Skywalker

[SuperiorIronman]

He killed the occasional Jedi. His claim to fame that he wiped out the Order is good PR and blatant lies.

He did wipe out the order though. Sure he didn't kill all of the Jedi but the teachings any survivors could give out are suddenly fragmented, and it's not like any of them can meet each other without risk of getting gunned down by Imperials or cut down by Vader himself. While other Jedi locations exist, Anakin took the home base. Anakin marched on the temple leading the 501rst to kill everyone inside and as we know now, the Jedi temple was converted into a palace losing a lot of the Jedi knowledge along with it.
Not to mention that Luke later on only had two old guys with incomplete teachings to give him so it's not like Luke had a vast archive to go through. There's probably a good reason it took 30 odd years for another Jedi order to spring up. So while Vader didn't kill everyone, he did a very good job of killing enough of the order itself that the most Jedi like person post-ROTS is a farm boy who hit Master largely because he was the only one left alive to be one.

It could be that he didn't want Luke to end up like his father, as in going on to become a Jedi and ending up dead as far as Owen was aware.

You right. We got no idea what Obi-Wan told him. But we do know that Obi-Wan stated that Anakin was killed by Vader.

Star Wars #19 states that Owen thought that Ben had gotten Luke's father killed, which was pretty close to the truth per ROTS. However, the dialogue is vague enough that it's unclear if he told them the whole truth (that Anakin had fallen, they fought, and left him to certain death on Mustafar) or if he just told that that Anakin had died in Order 66 as a Jedi and Owen took that to be on Ben's fault for guiding him into the crosshairs by helping him become a Jedi.

I mean, so far, I don't think canon has address if the Larses knew about Vader's real identity.

Didn't read the Star wars comics. But being killed by Vader and Obi-wan was the Master over Anakin. In Owen mind Obi-Wan got Anakin killed by all the Jedi stuff.
And that why Owen didn't want Luke going with Obi-Wan (Ben).
