Why would Luke Skywalker have been raised on tatooine by people that Vader was familiar with? I mean, if he was supposed to be in hiding, what sense does it make to keep him in the exact spot on the exact planet that Anakin Skywalker was raised on?? d
Vader was haunted by tatooine, it was said that ever since the death of his mother he was on loathe to travel there. Evidence? he didn't go looking for the droids C3P0 and R2D2 when they escaped with valuable technical data to the first death star when they landed on tatooine, he sent the 501st without going with them. This is was the official stance of the star wars cannon, but I am unaware if there were any changes, check wookiepedia to learn more
