Windy ' s parents would sometimes visit Luke ' s aunt and uncle at the Lars homestead . When they were thirteen , Luke and Windy became lost in the desert and found themselves face to face with a Krayt dragon . They were rescued by Obi - Wan Kenobi , who they only knew as hermit Ben Kenobi . When Windy and Luke were brought back safely to the Lars ' homestead by the Jedi , Owen angrily chased Kenobi away . Windy and Deak were present when Luke was challenged to a speeder race by a local braggart , Gorm Maldorf , in The Cage . They warned Luke that Maldorf was dangerous , but he accepted the challenge . On the morning of the race , Gorm was found dead , strangled , in The Cage . After Windy and Deak helped him make his escape , Luke investigated the death and deduced that Gorm had been accidentally killed while trying to sabotage the race the night before . By their late teens , the friends were part of a group of youths that included Biggs Darklighter , Janek " Tank " Sunber , Laze " Fixer " Loneozner , and his girlfriend Camie . The teens spent time hanging around at Tosche Station in Anchorhead , and raced their skyhoppers for fun . When Biggs was accepted into the Imperial Academy , the friends and other locals threw him a party that was broken up by attacking Sand people . Windy would often serve as a foil to Luke ' s dreams of leaving Tatooine to join the Academy . Once , when Windy found Luke replaying a Space Academy Recruitment tape for a countless time , they told their friend that he should grow up and be content with the life of a moisture farmer . Some time later , just before the " Tantive IV " was captured by Darth Vader above Tatooine , Luke challenged Fixer to a dangerous skyhopper race through Beggar ' s Canyon and through the eye of the Stone Needle . Windy flew along with Luke during the race , squealing with fear the whole time . They were frightened by Skywalker ' s reckless flying and called him " crazy . " Windy last saw Luke on the morning Biggs confided in Luke about his plans to join the Rebel Alliance . Windy , along with the rest of their friends , told Luke that they did not believe he had actually seen a firefight in the skies above Tatooine .

While here , they asked a spacer to find a wanted murderer named Blix Lanister , who had fled town . Windy saw Luke again when he returned briefly to Tatooine when he was trying to hide from X - 7 . The spacer agreed to carry out the task , and found Blix shortly thereafter . Blix was brought back to Windy , who paid the spacer 30 credits in thanks . They even said the spacer should consider a career as a security officer . Yet the situation with Blix did not end there . Windy also wanted the spacer to find one of Blix ' s gang members , a Rodian named Gleezwuq . Gleezwuq was the only member of Blix ' s gang that Windy did not know the location of . They were sure that Gleezwuq would have evidence which would implicate Blix in his murder of Alita Sweetwater . The spacer managed to find the Rodian gang member , and killed him . On Gleezwuq ' s person was the same blaster that Blix used in his murder of Alita . The spacer brought the blaster back to an impressed Windy , who was now certain that Blix could be brought to justice . The spacer was once again awarded another 30 credits . Unfortunately , shortly after the evidence was brought to Windy , Blix ' s cohorts broke into town and helped Blix escape Anchorhead . Windy tasked the spacer with one final task , which was to find Blix and his cronies . Windy did not believe that Blix would let himself be brought back alive again . They told the spacer to do what he had to do . Ultimately , the spacer found Blix , and killed him and the other thugs . Following the successful operation , Windy awarded the spacer 100 credits .
