A toy T-16 skyhopper was owned by the human male Luke Skywalker.[1] In 9 BBY,[2] the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi purchased the toy from the Jawa Teeka after they had brought it to him in his cave on Tatooine. Kenobi left the toy outside of Skywalker's home, but Skywalker's uncle, Owen Lars, returned it to him the next day and informed the Jedi Master to stay away from his family.[3] Sometime later, after[4] Reva Sevander,[5] a former Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire attacked the Lars in an attempt to kill Skywalker, Lars allowed Kenobi to meet Skywalker, and he gave the toy to the young boy.[4]
