Tosche Station

"But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!" "You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done."

- Luke Skywalker and Owen Lars

Tosche Station was a location on the desert world of Tatooine where Luke Skywalker, prior to becoming a member of the Rebel Alliance, spent time with his friends. After witnessing a battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire in the skies over Tatooine, Skywalker told his friends, including Biggs Darklighter, about what he had seen, but they did not believe it had been a battle. It was at Tosche Station that Darklighter informed Skywalker that he was defecting from the Empire to join the Rebel Alliance.

After the Battle of Yavin, Skywalker reminisced he never picked up the power converters he mentioned before he left Tatooine.
