Lars family

The Lars family was a human family that hailed from the desert world of Tatooine in the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy. For the two generations the family maintained a moisture farm, the Lars Homestead, near the town of Anchorhead, from the last years of the Galactic Republic to the reign of the Galactic Empire. The Lars family was related to the legendary Skywalker family through the marriage of Cliegg Lars and Shmi Skywalker Lars, the mother of the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Anakin's infant son Luke was adopted by his stepbrother Owen Lars and his wife Beru Whitesun Lars. The son of Cliegg and his previous wife Aika Lars, Owen worked to turn his father's homestead into a productive farm. Although he attempted to raise his step-nephew in the family business, Luke yearned to explore the greater galaxy instead of becoming a moisture farmer like his step-uncle and step-aunt, both of whom were killed by Imperial sandtroopers during the beginning of the Galactic Civil War. With his only family wiped out by the Empire, Luke departed from Tatooine with his father’s Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mara Jade, the elder daughter of his father’s close friend and student Ahsoka Tano, embarking on a journey to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Jedi Knight to finish his mission and joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic and killed Ahsoka and his father’s old foe Governor Wilhuff Tarkin and the Imperial Joint Chiefs by destroying the dreaded Death Star.
