Lars
moisture farm
Home of the Skywalkers
Details
Description
A hardscrabble moisture farm on the scorching planet Tatooine, the Lars farm was run by the same family for at least two generations. Keeping the farm meagerly profitable depended on vaporators that drew moisture out of the dry Tatooine air, supplies from passing Jawa sandcrawlers, and hard work -- the kind of work that could leave a farmboy like Luke Skywalker dreaming of being anywhere else.
Relationships
Luke Skywalker
Raised by his aunt and uncle on the Lars moisture farm, Luke Skywalker longed for adventure far beyond the horizon. To escape his daily chores, he'd often work on his T-16 skyhopper, prepping the vehicle for races in Beggar's Canyon. Or he'd hang out with his friends at Tosche Station.
Shmi Skywalker
Shmi Skywalker was saved from slavery by Cliegg Lars, a kindhearted moisture farmer who had fallen in love with her. Cliegg married Shmi, and she became a mother to Cliegg's son, Owen. The Lars family would be deeply saddened by the death of Shmi at the hands of brutal Tusken Raiders.
Tatooine
The blistering heat of twin suns that constantly bake Tatooine makes life difficult on the desert world. Moisture farms like the Lars homestead are common near the few spots of civilization that has sprouted on the planet.
Anakin Skywalker
When Anakin Skywalker was plagued by visions of his mother in danger, he came rushing to Tatooine to find her. His search led him to the Lars moisture farm, where his mother was living at the time of her kidnapping by Tusken Raiders.
Stormtroopers
A detachment of stormtroopers searched the deserts of Tatooine for any trace of a Rebel escape pod believed to be carrying the stolen Death Star plans. What they found instead were traces of droids, which they followed to the Lars homestead. The Imperials torched the homestead, killing Owen and Beru Lars, in their mission.
