Lars homestead

The Lars homestead, also known as the Lars family moisture farm, the Skywalker homestead, or the Skywalker farm, was a moisture farm on Tatooine owned and operated by the Lars family. Shortly before the Clone Wars, Cliegg Lars lived on the property with his second wife, Shmi Skywalker Lars, and son Owen Lars. Shmi's son, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, visited the farm and learned of his step-family before discovering that his mother had been captured and, ultimately, killed by Tusken Raiders. After Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force and helped destroy the Jedi Order, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi took Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, to the Lars homestead, where the boy was raised by Owen and his wife, Beru. Nearly two decades later, the farm was destroyed and Owen and Beru were killed by Imperial stormtroopers, who were searching for the droids C-3PO and R2-D2.
