Owen Lars (ASWS)

Owen Lars was a sharecropper on the a few kilometers outside of  on. He was the stepbrother of Annikin Skywalker and was, at one point, engaged to be married to Beru Whitesun. He had a strong distrust of all outsiders.

Early life
Owen Lars was born to Cliegg Lars and Aika Lars. Working for, he had lived on the moisture farm for many years. He lived with his father for his entire life. His mother died when he was young, and his father married Shmi Skywalker a few years later. The marriage gave Owen a stepbrother, Annikin Skywalker, though there was always hostility towards him.

When he was older, he met a woman named Beru Whitesun in the spaceport. The two courted each other for some time and eventually formed a romantic relationship. They ended up becoming engaged to be married, but Beru later broke it off and said that Owen had trust issues. Owen dismissed them and instead tried for some time to search within himself for the reason that she left him, but he was never able to do so.

The Outsiders
When Owen was twenty-five, Annikin arrived at the farm with an outsider named Obi-Wan Kenobi. Whatever his reasons, Owen was untrusting of all outsiders, so when Annikin told them that at least a dozen outsiders would stay with them while he repaired their ship Owen was not fond of the idea. However, Cliegg and Shmi both agreed to extend Obi-Wan and his crew their hospitality, much to Owen’s dismay.

After the agreement was set, Owen took Annikin aside and confronted him over the fact that they should not trust the outsiders as they did not know them, nor did they know what the people wanted. Annikin, however, held what Owen believed was a blind trust and refuse to back away from his plan to help them. Annikin infuriated Owen after Annikin cited Beru leaving him as an example of his lack of trust and slammed him up against the wall. He did not know what he would have done after that, but he would never know as Shmi’s presence stopped him from doing anything.
