Unidentified female (Anchorhead)

"I've told you kids to slow down!"

- The woman to Luke Skywalker

This Human female lived in the settlement of Anchorhead on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine and was old by the time of the Battle of Yavin. She wore a metallic sun  shawl to protect herself from the twin suns of the Tatoo system. The woman chided the young farmboys, who raced the streets at top speed.

Early in 0 BBY, the woman walked on a quiet, deserted street of Anchorhead, when she was nearly ran over by moisture farmer Owen Lars's nephew, Luke Skywalker. The young farmboy was hurrying on his X-34 landspeeder to the Tosche power station to tell his friends about a battle over their planet. The woman quickly ran out of Skywalker's way and shouted angrily after him.

The first appearance of this character was in the novelization of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster and first published in December of 1976 by Del Rey. She appeared simply as "Woman" with a slightly different line in the revised fourth draft of the film's script, but the scene was not in any released version of the film.
