I can see it from a parsec away... The dude has always hated his brother. And this would actually be a great way to make him a more memorable character in the saga.

Do you think Owen will betray Obi-Wan in the "Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi" TV show?

No because he was still hidden in the same spot after all those years in A New Hope and Luke remained hidden.

Yes.
And the twist will be that it was Obi-Wan who lit his ass up in A New Hope, finally getting revenge.

Now it all falls into place.
When he told Luke that only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise, it was just a deeply sarcastic alibi, albeit one that would go over the farm boy's head.
Possibly the closest thing that could happen. Lars feels like a guy who'd tell him to fuck off or he's telling the authorities (local like the Hutts I guess?). But I really can't see a way that makes sense as he needs to protect Luke as well and that'd bring too much thunder down.
Nah it'll be that Obi-Wan arranged the death just to get Luke motivated enough to leave the planet, lol
Insert CG shots of Alec Guinness sliding space money over to the stormtroopers in a bar. "Don't worry about making it pretty."
No I think there'll be a falling out that will be dramatic but ultimately have no long-term ramifications that would impact on already established plot points.
Owen is Anakin's step brother, that's why he's Luke's uncle Owen.
Man, they really were terrible at hiding that kid...
Is he, what have I missed in the prequels? When were they in a scene together?
I believe Owen was Obi Wan's brother in the official novel for Star Wars. Obviously, that was retconned.
It was in AOTC when Anakin went to the Lars homestead to search for his mother. She married Cliegg after he freed her so by extension that made Owen Anakin's stepbrother.
What if Obi Wan and Aunt Beru have an affair. That is why Obi Wan had to move out beyond the Dune Sea
Betray him how? He knows Luke is probably in danger and he's not looking to invite any attention by selling out Obi-Wan.
I like the "fuck off back to ship R2" you're not allowed to go there until A New Hope
uncle owen knocks ben on the head
he swaps clothes
when he wakes up, owen tells ben that his name is Uncle Owen and he suffers from long term memory failure. He plays him the movie Memento and says "JUST LIKE THAT DUDE"
owen, now Ben, rolls out to live that hermit lyfe while Ben is stuck being a goddamn moisture farmer drinking blue milk with a whiny nephew who only talks about power converters
also explains why Ben can't fight for shit in episode 4

The comics (which are canon) flesh out the relationship between Obi-Wan and Owen during Luke's younger years a little bit.
Basically, Owen hates him and resents him but no, probably wouldn't betray him to the Empire or anything. The show will be canon with this and should basically adhere to it.

You know, Obi-Wan and Yoda sure did get lucky that Luke seemed to have barely given a shit about Owen and Beru being murdered, unlike Anakin and his mom.
Let's retcon it so he does betray Obi-Wan. Mix it up and make it interesting. That way we can feel better when they're cooked alive in A New Hope. In fact, have Obi-Wan be the one who sells them out to the empire as a long term revenge scheme. Maybe the Jedi were evil all along... from a certain point of view.
It would effect how we view his death in new hope too much. It needs to galvanize the audience against the empire, not feel like some snitch getting his.
I don't think putting what is essentially your one and only child in mortal danger would make him a more interesting character.
Her day job was Jabba's charge d'affaires until she got cooked by the troopers, allowing Bib to take over.
