Aunt Beru is a prominent, if underused, Star Wars character, with Obi-Wan Kenobi only proving her badass attributes have always been present.
Aunt Beru has always been a likable Star Wars character, with the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ TV show only proving just how much of a badass she truly was. Originally played by Shelagh Fraser, Beru was introduced in the first Star Wars film . This was an older Beru, a steadying hand to guide the young Luke Skywalker.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite having positive qualities in the prequel trilogy Star Wars films, which established a background for Beru, her return in Obi-Wan Kenobi added the strongest layers. These elements introduced in the final episode of the Disney+ show work in their own right, but make some of Aunt Beru aspects from A New Hope more prominent.
This defiant stand from Beru harkens back to her first appearance in the original Star Wars film. During the dinner scene in A New Hope, Luke asks his uncle about applying for the Imperial Academy early due to the new droids purchased to help on the farm, which Owen forbids. Beru, however, is much more open to the concept, and insists Luke cannot stay home forever.
Owen & Beru Lars Deserve More Credit All of this only goes to prove why Owen and Beru Lars should be recognized as some of the better examples of parenting in the Star Wars universe. The sequence in Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 6 involves both putting their lives in mortal danger for Luke, proving why the duo deserves to be looked at in a more positive light. Fighting off an Imperial inquisitor is tough as it is for a Jedi, never mind two working-class parents with little-to-no combat experience.
On top of this, the Lars family simply do not receive enough credit for raising Luke. Oftentimes, when concerning Luke's character arc, his masters Obi-Wan and Yoda are given their due for turning him into the Jedi he becomes. However, without Owen and Beru raising him with compassion, Luke would never have become the hero who saved the galaxy countless times. All of this is only reinforced in Obi-Wan Kenobi, which allows Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen a more-than-deserved chance to shine.
