Lars introduced himself and Whitesun to the visitors, and when Skywalker asked about Shmi, Cliegg introduced himself, inviting the Jedi inside to talk. He found that she had been sold to Cliegg, so he, along with Senator PadmР“В© Amidala, visited the homestead. A month later, Anakin Skywalker returned to Tatooine after a ten year absence to look for his mother. As time passed, Lars and his father had little hope for Shmi's survival.

When the group returned, there were only four survivors, including Cliegg, who had lost a leg and was confined to a repulsorlift chair. Furious, Lars' father rallied 29 other moisture farmers to help search for her. Though Lars planned for a comfortable future on his family homestead, the peace was broken by 22 BBY, when one morning, Shmi was attacked and abducted by Tusken Raiders. The Lars family tells Anakin Skywalker about Shmi Skywalker's abduction. In the following years, the family lived quietly, and at some point, during a trip to Anchorhead, Lars met a local girl named Beru Whitesun, a third-generation moisture farmer. Seeing his mother's sadness made Lars wonder how anyone could have left her behind. Lars loved his stepmother very much, but he saw her sadness whenever she thought of her son, Anakin Skywalker, who had left Tatooine to join the Jedi Order on Coruscant. Cliegg fell in love with Shmi, so he purchased her, set her free, and married her. During or after the year 32 BBY, Cliegg went to Mos Espa in search of a new farmhand, and he met Shmi Skywalker, a slave owned by the Toydarian junk dealer Watto. As a young man, Lars had a strong vision of who he wanted to become, believing that he should be rooted on Tatooine and focused on improving the homestead. When Aika died, the father and son traveled to Cliegg's homeworld, the desert planet of Tatooine, where they lived on the Lars family's homestead near the township of Anchorhead.

When Skywalker discovered that his family had been killed, he left Tatooine with Kenobi to train as a Jedi, joining the Rebel Alliance and destroying the Death Star in the Battle of Yavin. Imperial stormtroopers tracked the droid to Lars' homestead, where they interrogated and murdered both him and his wife. In 0 BBY, Lars and Luke Skywalker purchased the droid R2-D2, who, unbeknownst to them, possessed stolen plans for the Death Star, an Imperial superweapon. In the following years, Lars prevented Luke from knowing the truth about his father, and he kept the boy busy with farm work. Lars believed that Skywalker had died due to his role as a Jedi, so to protect Luke, the farmer forbade Kenobi from visiting or training the boy. In 19 BBY, Lars and his wife were contacted by Skywalker's Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and they were tasked with caring for Skywalker's infant son, Luke. Lars married his girlfriend, Beru Whitesun, and they toiled to maintain the homestead. In 22 BBY, Shmi was killed by Tusken Raiders, and Cliegg passed away soon after. He was the son of Aika and Cliegg Lars, and he became the stepbrother of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker when Cliegg married Anakin's mother, Shmi Skywalker.
