Lol. The movie was edited and watched so you could believe that it was the stormtroopers that killed Owen and Co.

I mean think about this angle too. Vader would have to have given the order to kill his family. Vader did a lot of terrible things, but he never in any other canon killed a member of his family. After the clearly traumatic death of his mother, why would he order the deaths of his step-brother and his wife? That doesn't make sense to me.
Conversely a bounty hunter would be inclined to leave no one to gather information after he got it. Finding out that the jawas sold the droids to a moisture farmer, when he found said moisture farmer, he killed them and burned any evidence that may let another bounty hunter get onto their trail.

He wanted to kill his mentor/brother Obi-Wan.
By the time of ANH, he was pure evil as Vader, no reasoning. It wasn't until he met Luke that there was hope of him coming back to the light.

He wanted to kill Obi-Wan because he thought Obi-Wan turned Padme against him.
He never took a sword to kill anyone that was his family. Imagine if you would, Vader striking padme down. Can you imagine it? because I can't

At that point I can. Besides I doubt they asked Vader for permission to kill them. They just did it becuase that's how the empire operates. Vader before he finds out Luke is his son is a dark killing machine. Obi-wan was right, Anakin Skywalker was dead for all intents and purposes.
Doesn't matter what the reasoning was. He was ready to kill someone that he was arguably more closer with than Padme.
He almost killed Padme had it not been for Obi-Wan telling him to stop. He was force choking her.

TUrning one's wife =/= buying droids you didn't have anymore. Not even remotely comparable.

There is that. I also double checked my Vader graphic novel that I just got and he meets Fett for the first time after A New Hope. And this is part of the new canon.
doesn't rule out that Vader reached out to local kingpin Jabba and Jabba put his number 1 man on it. Direct contact isn't required for a bounty hunter and speaking to the head man can often get better results.

While true, yt also shows Vader going down and speaking with Jaba for the first time since the Clone Wars after A New Hope. So while it doesn't directly show stormtroopers doing that. It's heavily applied and anything else is just reaching.
Would he have to meet him directly to send out a request. i mean they had long range communication. he had other matters (the Princess and the destruction of Alderaan) to deal with. So back burnering it and getting a bounty hunter to handle everything would have made life a bit easier.

You're reaching bro. The actual movie leads us to beleive stormtroopers took Uncle Owen out. There is really nothing but random fan theories that suggest otherwise. You see stormtroopers checking out the escape pod and also looking for the droids in mos eisley. There zero reason to beleive they also weren't the ones looking for them at the Jawa's transport and then as the Lars'.
