Legend

this woman married Owen Lars. Note that the Star Wars Screen Entertainment software package gave Beru's maiden name as Weth, although the official Star Wars website provides the name Whitesun. She was a native of Mos Eisley, and she rarely dreamed of anything but a simple life with Owen. Their life on Tatooine lacked the demands of "normal" life, being rewarding in the work both partners did each day. Beru was also a good friend to Owen's father, Cliegg, verbally sparring with the elderly man in a way that only a few people could do. Shortly before they were married, their life was jolted by the death of Owen's stepmother, Shmi Skywalker Lars, but they were married shortly afterward. They lived peacefully for nearly two decades, but were interrupted when Obi-Wan Kenobi asked them to adopt Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan appealed to Beru's feminine side with Luke's plight, and she convinced Owen to accept the boy into their family. She was killed when stormtroopers, following the information trail left by C-3PO and R2-D2, razed their farm in search of the droids.
