Beru Lars

Beru Lars, also affectionately known as "Aunt Beru," led the tough life of a moisture farmer on the dry planet Tatooine. Along with her husband, Owen, Beru proudly toiled under harsh conditions, season after season, in a determined effort to extract precious units of water from the parched environment. Beru also fulfilled the role of guardian and substitute mother to young Luke Skywalker, and repeatedly voiced her support for his dream of joining his friends at the Academy. Beru fell victim to the Empire when Imperial Stormtroopers raided the family farm in search of droids thought to have top-secret plans for the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star.
