Lars family/Legends

The Lars family was a family that lived primarily on the planet Tatooine. The earliest known member of the Lars family was Cliegg Lars. With his first wife, Aika, he had a son named Owen. After his wife's death, he remarried Shmi Skywalker, whom he freed from slavery. Owen married a girl named Beru Whitesun.

When Anakin Skywalker, the son of Shmi, became Darth Vader, his son, Luke Skywalker, was cared for by Owen and his wife, Beru Whitesun, whom he called "Uncle Owen" and "Aunt Beru." They were killed by Imperial stormtroopers in 0 BBY. Since they had no blood descendants, the family line ended with them.

It is possible, however, that Luke's aunt Coolie was connected in some way with the Lars family.
