Did unga Luke lära sig om sin mormors begravning på Lars gård?

Jag pratade med en vän om den här frågan under helgen och påpekade romanen Ett nytt hopp: Lukes Skywalks liv . Historien är i linje med Pablo Hidalgos kommentarer och ger oss också in-universets syn på händelserna. Trots att hans farbror Owen tog bort huvudstenarna, fick Luke fortfarande en aning om sin mormors öde. Enligt romanen var det moster Beru som avslöjade Shmis identitet till Luke.

Det första kapitlet äger rum när Luke är bara fyra år gammal:

Sam's gaze had drifted to an area beyond the homestead's open pit. "Say, something's different over there."

Beru said, "Where?"

"There," Sam said, pointing. "Didn't you have some supply tanks, or some kind of...?" Sam stopped talking, and then everyone was silent.

Luke noticed the sudden quiet and turned his head to follow the adults' gaze to the southwest. Except for some moisture vaporators in the distance, there was nothing to see but scorched ground.

"Sorry, Owen," Sam said, finally breaking the awkward silence. "I just realized what was, uh, missing. It's the headstones."

Owen said nothing, but just kept his eyes to the southwest.

Sam said, "I, uh, hope it wasn't vandals..."

"No," Owen said. "I removed the headstones."

"Oh," Sam said.

Without any further explanation, Owen turned and headed for the entry dome. After he was gone, Beru said, "Please forgive Owen. He... he just didn't see a need for anyone to know where Shmi was buried."

"But he removed all the headstones," Sam said. "His parents and uncle were buried there too, yes?"

Beru nodded.

Luke said, "Who's Shmi?"

Beru jumped. She hadn't seen Luke in front of the parked speeder and didn't know that he'd been listening. She glanced at Dama, then back at Luke and said, "Shmi was your grandmother, Luke."

"Oh," he said. "Is my father buried there too?"

"No," Beru said. "Your father didn't die on Tatooine."

"Oh," he said again. Then he looked at Dama and Sam and said, "My father was a navigator on a spice freighter. Uncle Owen told me so."

Evenemanget var minnesvärt för Lukas, som när han var sju:

He dipped his hand into a pocket and withdrew a droid caller he'd rigged to allow him to sneak past the small, roving guard droids that patrolled the homestead's perimeter. Out of habit, he walked carefully around the area where he knew the bodies of his grandmother and Owen's parents and uncle were buried.

Och medan han var femton:

The suns were close to the horizon. Looking beyond the homestead's courtyard, Luke saw long shadows crawling across the desert. And then his gaze landed on the area of the unmarked graves that included his grandmother's final resting place.

Så, åtminstone i legender, Luke lärde sig om sin mormors öde på ung ålder , trots sin farbrors ansträngningar.

Gravstenarna var enligt LucasFilms Pablo Hidalgo , avlägsnad av Owen Lars för att hindra Luke från att fråga besvärliga frågor om hans föräldrar och förfäder. Detta skulle tydligt förklara sin frånvaro i ett nytt hopp.

Innebörden (med sin faster och farbrors död) lärde sig aldrig att deras gravar var där.

Q. I was wondering whose grave is that next to Shmi Skywalker's in Attack of the Clones? Plus, do you think Luke ever wondered who these people were, or do you think Owen took them down?

Hidalgo: Next to Shmi's headstone is a grave shared by both of Cliegg Lars's parents. Gredda and Lef. The smallest headstone marks the grave of Edern Lars. Cliegg's younger brother who died at age 14 when he lost control of the family land-speeder. Owen Lars removed the headstones to stave off any awkward questions from Luke. Luke knew of Shmi because that's where the Skywalker name came from, but she was only a footnote in his young life, an avenue of curiosity that Owen Lars strictly guarded.

Q. In Attack of the Clones when Anakin is mourning at his mother's gravesite, why are there three tombstones instead of just one? Also, why don't we see this gravesite when we return to the Lars homestead again in A New Hope? Did the Jawa sandcrawler run it over?

A. Inside Attack of the Clones, published by DK, revealed the three tombstones belonged to members of Cliegg's family. Gredda and Lef Lars, his parents, share a grave, while his younger brother Edern, who died at the age of 14, has the smaller tombstone. Later, Owen Lars removed the tombstones to help keep some of these tragedies away from Luke.
