Owen Lars
Owen Lars is a moisture farmer living in the deserts of Tatooine. He’s the son of Cliegg Lars, who years prior freed and married Shmi Skywalker, the mother of Anakin Skywalker. Shmi was later kidnapped and killed.
Because Owen was Anakin’s stepbrother, Obi-Wan chose to bring baby Luke to live with him and his wife, Beru. The pair then raised him into his late teens. At that point, once R2-D2 and C-3PO ended up on Tatooine, Owen and Beru were killed by Imperial Stormtroopers looking for the droids. In the original Star Wars film, Owen was played by the late Phil Brown and in Obi-Wan, he’s played by Joel Edgerton, reprising the role from the prequels.
