In 19 BBY, shortly after the end of the Clone Wars and the start of the Great Jedi Purge, following the duel on Mustafar Obi-Wan Kenobi brought pregnant Padme Amidala to the colony of Polis Massa. There Luke and then his twin sister Leia were born, under care of Polis Massan medics. Before the duel Padme had been choked by their father, Anakin Skywalkeron Mustafar after Skywalker believed Amidala to have betrayed him, causing the weakened Amidala to lose her will to live and die not long after giving birth to the twins. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda knew that the children, both having a natural affinity for the Force, needed protection from Palpatine and their father. Deciding it would be best if they were separated, the two Jedi Masters agreed to send the infant boy to live with his father's stepbrother, Owen Lars, and his wife, Beru, on Tatooine. Leia was sent to live under the protection of her newly adopted parents, Bail and Breha Organa of Alderaan. |
