Lars homestead

The Lars Homestead is home to the Lars family. It is located on the planet of Tatooine.

Cliegg Lars bought Shmi Skywalker from Watto and let her live here as his wife. His son Owen Lars lived here too, as did his girlfriend Beru Whitesun. C-3PO also lived here then.

When Anakin Skywalker had nightmares of his mother on Naboo, he, R2-D2, and Padme Amidala came to Tatooine. Watto told them where to look, and they found the homestead. But Shmi was abducted by Tusken Raiders.

Anakin went looking for her, and he returned with her dead body. Everyone was present at Shmi's funeral later that day.

As the years flew by, Cliegg died, and Anakin became Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight, brought Anakin's child, Luke Skywalker, to Owen and Beru, to hide him from Palpatine, who was known as the Emperor then.

Owen and Beru raised Luke, and when a Sandcrawler stopped in front of the homestead, Owen bought C-3PO (whom he didn't recognize) and R2-D2 from the Jawa's. Little did he know that the Empire was looking for those two droids. When R2 ran away to search Obi-Wan Kenobi, who also lived on Tatooine, Luke and C-3PO went looking for him in Luke's landspeeder. This saved him from certain death, as when he returned, the homestead was destroyed and Owen and Beru were dead.
