[ EU ] - STARWARS - C3PO & R2D2 never made it to Tatooine . What 's Luke doing years later ?

“ I ’ ve HAD it! ” Luke threw a large spanner at nearby vapor condenser. “ Done, I am done with this farm, this planet, and this stupid moisture farm! ” Luke ’ s Uncle had jumped back from the outburst. Owen had seen Luke ’ s temper become more and more out of control in the last season; this was the third time this week Luke had lost control. 
 
 “ Just like your father… ” Owen muttered. 
 
 “ What did you say? ” his temper rapidly fading away. 
 
 “ I think maybe you should join the Academy. It may mellow you out son. ” Owen could barely believe what he was telling Luke; he had made a promise to keep him hidden. But Luke was growing out of control. Owen new full well what could happen when a Skywalker lost his temper. 
 
 “ I don ’ t know what to say! I will go get packed. ” 
 
 “ Don ’ t say anything to Beru, not yet. ” Owen felt something gnawing at his stomach while Luke ran off to the homestead. “ I have a bad feeling about this. ”

 Luke could not sleep that night. Owen had promised to take him to the port in the morning and neither of them had told his Aunt yet. They knew she wouldn ’ t take it well and he had been enough trouble to the couple as it was. He was a terrible foster son, an even worse farmer, and still had the audacity to make constant demands from the Larrs. But Luke knew he was meant for more, he wanted to be a starfighter pilot more than anything. To fly away from here, from everything, it was his dream. 
 
 That night, across the Tatooine Desert, someone else could not sleep. An old hermit was restless in his small bed, haunted by old memories. Though he knew not the cause, years of training and experience taught him to never discount his feelings. Eventually he cast away his desire to sleep, and gathered some items to travel. Before he walked out the door, he stopped, turned around, and grabbed an old metal case, shoving it into his pack.

 Mos Eisley was always forboding to Owen Larrs. He never liked the spaceport, preferring to get what he needed from Anchorhead or traveling Jawas. But the recruitment office and Emperial garrison was located here and Luke needed more structure and discipline in his life. Luke didn ’ t even notice Owen ’ s apprehension, he was bubbling with excitement. 
 
 “ Luke, you need to know something before you head out. ” 
 
 “ Sure Uncle Owen. ” 
 
 “ Luke, I am very serious. ” Luke could tell there was something different in his voice today and turned his undivided attention to Owen. 
 
 “ The Skywalker name, it … it isn ’ t popular or well liked out there. ” 
 
 “ Why is that? ” 
 
 “ Don ’ t matter anymore. Listen, I loved you like a son, and for what it ’ s worth, always thought you were. Let me give you something before you go, it ’ s all I got: my name. Luke be, Luke Larrs. Register with Larrs at the academy and folks won ’ t give you no trouble. ” 
 
 “ I don ’ t know what to say Unc… ” Luke grew silent for a few minutes. “ Luke Larrs then. I couldn ’ t ask for a better name. ” 
 
 Owen Larrs and Luke Larrs shared a hug, tried to hide a few errant tears, and finally headed into the Emperial garrison office.
