Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hey, this is Annie and Samantha, and welcome to Stephan
ever told you protection of I High Radio, And welcome
to another sub sub segments on fictional women around the world.
And actually, I think this is even further sub because
(00:25):
right now we're like full up in Star Wars territories.
Well yeah, I guess so, yes, Well we're approaching and
I'm trying to get a bunch of stuff in before
the Obi Wan Kenobi show comes out on Disney Plus,
which is not currently a sponsor, by showcasing some of
the badass women of Star Wars. So I apologize, but
(00:45):
it's going to be a lot of Star Wars stuff
for a little bit. Yeah, And I did think about
calling this fictional women around the Galaxy, but I guess
I shouldn't miss with the formula too much. Well, I
was thinking about that too. I was like, I guess
it's universe, not the world, because if we're going galactic,
which we are, then we should have we should be
(01:05):
correct in the determinology. Yeah, and where it is, and
it's not just the world, not be Earth. We're going
beyond beyond, a galaxy far far away. And I do
I have to start this with like a correction because
in our recent episode we did on Statene, I said
(01:28):
her name her last name curs, which is how I
always thought it was pronounced. And it's craze according to
something I watched recently. So how dare oh I know? Oh,
I'm sorry, I let everybody. I mean that's going to outfits.
No never my disco Luke cosplay isn't full like, I
(01:50):
am so excited to share the I love that. Every
time Star Wars has mentioned I have heard about so
I'm pretty excited about seeing those two though. It's gonna
look spectacular. I'm excited. Well. In the meantime, we are
focusing today on Baru White Sun Lars. We do have
(02:12):
a long awaited a Soak episode coming out because some
of you have written in about it. It It is coming,
I promise, But today Baru Bye Sun Lars. I have
read so much amazing fan fiction about her. I really
love her. I have a Beru trading card that I
just keep and sometimes I'll look at it like WHOA
would Baru to interesting? Yeah, she has a plus six
(02:33):
It's like a card like kind of like Magic the Gathering,
but for Star Wars. So she has a plus six buffer.
So that's pretty good. Anyone no idea what this means? Yeah,
I didn't. I didn't figure you would, which, okay, speaking
of also I, as we did with Satine, I'm just
gonna kind of run through this, Samantha, um and if
you have any questions, I know it's confusing, let me
(02:56):
know this. This one's less confusing than Satin that one.
That one was the whole thing. That the whole thing. Yeah,
it was quite a bit, all right. So if you're
kind of if you're like Samantha and you're like, I've
got I don't know this this name, it's Aunt Brew.
It's Luke Skywalker's Aunt Brew who dies tragically Hope. Yeah,
(03:18):
so this character has been present in every draft of
a New Hope ever since the first one. There's been
some version or another of Baru, and she's always been
a defender of Luke Skywalker, whether from Tusken Raiders are
from her husband Owen. She was first portrayed by British
actor Sheila Fraser. In the National Public Radio Star Wars
(03:41):
radio drama, she was portrayed by Anne Gretty. Australian actress
Bonnie Marie Peace was cast as a young Brew for
the prequels and now in the Obi Wan Kenobi show,
I was able to bate that connection. You were and
I thought it was the teen and now is yes,
you were, I lect and I was like, the learner
(04:02):
has become the master. Yes, and I would say that
was one of my one proud moment. That was awesome.
I was like, oh, she's right, that is your skill
though you were good at the actors and connection. M
hm you do. Uh. Interestingly, in the original ending of
Revenge of the sith Obi, one hands the baby baby
(04:24):
Luke to Owen, but they reshot it because George Lucas
thought it quote felt it would be better if Luke
were handed over to a woman. Mhm. I mean she
does care for him more anyway, okay. Uh. So Baru
white Son are Burun white Son Lars was the wife
of Owen Lars and guardian to Luke Skywalker. She was
a human woman who was born and later died on Tattooin.
(04:48):
As a child, Baru was shy and had dreams of
opening a restaurant our cafe an anchor head which is
on Tatoine. By the way, if we didn't know this dream,
it took cold after teacher told her that her blue
milk cheese was the best he had ever had, that
it was like she was born to make it, the
milk cheese, the blue milk cheese. When she got older,
(05:11):
she fell in love with Owen Lawars, who was the
son of a moisture farmer named Teg Lars and stepbrother
of jedd A Night Anakin Skywalker. I had such fun
time explaining this to my mom recently because she's like,
are they even related? Not technically, you know. So Clegg
Lars freed Shimmy Skywalker, who's Anakin Skywalker's mother, Luke Skywalker's grandmother,
(05:33):
and married her, So there's that connection. Brew and Owen
started dating in earnest and by the time we see
them and attacked the Clones, they were solidly together. During
the Clone Wars, Shami was abducted by Tuscan raiders, which
drew Anakin to Tattooine in a bid to save her,
but he was too late, and he slaughtered the Tuscan
encampment after his mother died in his arms. At the funeral,
(05:55):
Barrew served blue milk and cheese. Yeah. Within three years
of the event, Brew had married Owen and taken on
his last name Clegg died and the couple, now in
ownership of the Moisture Farm, decided to try for a child,
but were met with infertility issues and they considered going
to a fertility droid for help. When the Republic fell
(06:16):
and the empire rose, Obi would Kenobi showed up and
tasked them with raising Anakin's child and their nephew, Luke Skywalker.
Upon taking him, and Brew told Owen that they were
going to raise him as their own. Though they didn't
have much, she took every chance she could to spoil him.
She loves him. Yeah, it's so sweet. I just remember
the scene where she's defending him trying to leave and
(06:39):
she's like, you can't keep all his life? Mm hmm,
Sorry she was no, No, I love her. So Brew
and Owen raised Luke for the next nineteen years, and
Brew often yeah, he defended Luke in the face of
Owen's over protectiveness and gruffness when it came to Luke's interest.
Owen was afraid that Luke would follow when his followed
footstep and become a Jedi night, something he was desperate
(07:02):
to prevent, Hence part of the reason he basically forbade
Obi one from seeing Luke, which I'm pretty sure we're
going to see play out in the show. Luke's recklessness
didn't help. He wants tried to take on a slaving
gang by himself at the age of eight and almost
got himself kidnapped. At one point, Owen was abducted by
the Wookie bounty hunter Chrysantin, who was just in book
(07:22):
above a fete, and there was a big debate about
how to pronounce his name. So I hope I got
that right. It's just the one that you really dislike. No,
that's cad Bane. I'll go had a nightmare about him
last night. That's true, that's one. But yes, Owen was
subducted at the behest of job at the Hut for
(07:43):
unpaid water taxes. The water taxes and all that whole
situation is the whole thing on tattooing. Um and Brew
went out after him with a rifle, telling Luke to
stay put at the homestead. Owen was determined to keep
Luke on planet Um, constantly delaying his attempts to get
off tattooed. But Buru argued that Luke just wasn't a
farmer and they were going to have to let him go. Eventually,
(08:05):
soon after this conversation, Brew and Owen were killed by
Imperial soldiers looking for the droids they had purchased the
day before, both the plans to the Death Start. Luke
found their burned bodies and home, and it's burned him
to leave tattooing to join with the rebellion. There's a
whole thing where you can. Brew is like reflecting on
her death. It's kind of strange, as a lot of
(08:26):
things are in Star Wars. But she thinks, quote, I
really wish Luke hadn't seen that. Then again, if he hadn't,
he never would have gone off with Old Ben met
the Princess, destroyed the Death Start and saved the galaxy.
So I guess things did turn out all right in
the end, didn't they, Which is wow? What a thing
to think when you've been burned alive. I'm very confused
(08:48):
by that setup. It's very Yeah, it's confusing. I do
not argue with that, so will We don't see it
in the movies. Luke mourned for them after the Battle
of Yavin. That's in the books and comics. Um and
lay to return to Obi One's hut and read stories
about some of their interactions with them, and because you know,
I gotta do it, this is what I'm more familiar with.
(09:08):
Just to confuse everyone, here's a recap of her in Legends,
which again it's no longer Disney Cannon, so it's like
Disney is this Legends? What was what was before Disney? Again,
I think I'll never stop saying I don't understand the
cannon stuff, but keep going a lot of it. I
don't either, and it's annoying me because they keep picking
(09:29):
things from Legends and making a cannon and then I
get all confused. Anyway, this is who was they that?
Who's picking that? Kind of like Disney higher ups? And
I actually there's a position for like continuity. I talked
about it in Setine episode I sounds like a position
you should have, That's what I'm saying. But then we'd
(09:51):
get like much happier ending, surprisingly enough, and anyway, and
they're happily ever after we never have to see him
again and stops he's good, He's good. Stop question exactly exactly? Okay,
(10:20):
So it's a similar main story, but in Legends, Buru
came from a family that had been in moisture farming
for three generations, and they had a reputation for toughness
in a particular disposition for moisture farming. She had two siblings,
and right before the onset of the Clone Wars, she
met Owen Lars and started dating him. She grew close
to his family, his father Tig, and stepmother should Be Skywalker,
(10:43):
who was certain the two would get married. Cleig liked
that she could keep up with him in verbal sparring matches,
and Brewer had many friends, many of them or women.
I feel like I couldn't find this, so this must
be like something else, which is called fannon. I could
have sworn her family only were what was They're called
like singers. They help people escape tattoin in bad situations
(11:04):
on tattooin. But I didn't find that, even though it's
like firmly lodged in my brain that that's what I remember,
all right. So in this version, a Baru had to
convince Owen to take Luke like he didn't want to
do it. She had to convince him to do it.
They told neighbors they gave Luke the name Skywalker to
honor the memory of Shami Skywalker. Buru loved Luke. She'd
carry him around the farm as a baby nes sling
(11:26):
to collect mushrooms, and she would take him with her
when she went into anchor Head to get supplies. She
played with him and they laughed a lot, and when
he got older, she taught him lessons on compassion and patience.
When he was sick, she would sing in these lulla
byes about the persistence of love. And she did all
of this while working on the moisture farm, of keeping
the hydroponics lab, which I like, and finding ways to
(11:49):
make roots, the roots she could get her hands on
into creative dishes that would stretch, because the roots on
tattoin are like take a machette to them and know nothing.
Very tough, very tough. She had mixed feelings about Kenobi
watching them uh and he often would offer help, but
she didn't know how to feel about that. She didn't
want to be indebted to him. She and Owen eventually
(12:11):
decided to just kind of ignore him. She later changed
her mind, though, deciding Owen was being too hard on
Kenobi after he saved Luke from a crate dragon as
a child, and this led to an argument between her
and Owen. Like a frequent argument about it. She and
Owen also decided to try and keep all stuff Jedi
from Luke, which caused Owen to yell at Luke on
(12:31):
several occasions when he would do this Jedi stuff. Really
he would use the force, even though he didn't know
what that was or what he was doing Um. Owen
grounded Luke for asking questions about his father as well,
and this was a point of tension in brewin Owen's relationship.
He lashed out at her on more than one occasion
for suggesting they should accept Luke was going to leave.
(12:51):
One day, she convinced Owen to allow Luke to throw
a goodbye dinner for his friend Big Stark Lighter, reminding
him he had said goodbye to his stepbrother Anakin before
he left. She admitted that while she believed that they
should let Luke leave, she she wanted him to stay too.
Um And here's here's a divergence. In this version, Luke
(13:15):
begged Owen to invite the Javas so that they could
get more droids, with the goal of getting enough that
he could leave Um. And of course, the droids they
purchased brought the wrath of the Empire on them. While
Luke was gone, stormtroopers arrived and burned the Lars's homestead.
They cooperated with the stormtroopers, but Darth Vader ordered them
killed and watches they died over hollow Oh my gosh.
(13:39):
When Luke found their burnt bodies, he buried them and
left with Obi one. He later returned to La to
give them a proper burial, and he put a pendant
depicting Buru when she was young over her burial site.
So that's darth Vader was messed up. That's that's gruesome
around and about statue. And there were rumors that the
(13:59):
Tuscans killed them and Luke and that also another rumor
was that Luke himself killed them. But later a galactic
historian described her as a woman who quote helped shape
the man that became a galactic hero. And she was
well loved and she was well remembered. Um and I
love her. Um. I know there's some stuff about her
being like too traditionally feminine and quiet, but she has
(14:21):
like this like really steady strength and love and kindness,
and I just I've always loved her. I love that
fan fiction treats her so well too. Yeah, she was
pretty dismissed in the franchise. Uh, Like, it was so
quick that I was like, I think when I first
watched it with you all, I said, wait, they're dead?
Is no one's going to process this? Did he? Did
(14:43):
they kill him? Like? I was so confused, even to
the point that you had to I guess, like, where's there?
I don't get it, what's happening. I don't get it
because it was so quickly passed by that I was
very confused about what just happened. It traumatized me as
a kid. I can't watch that. Yeah, yeah, oh gosh,
(15:03):
I don't know. I just love her so much. I am,
I'm worried. I'm excited and worried about the Canobia show
as much as I'm building. I'm I'm nervous, and I
hope that Yeah. Well, I'm generally pretty low key. It's
not obviously, Yeah, but I love these characters so much,
(15:24):
and I've been kind of burnt before, so I hope
that the characters as awesome as I I feel in
my heart she truly is in the show. Yeah. Yeah, well,
that is what I have to say about Brew for now.
I feel like this is a great like thank you
(15:45):
for letting me know about her, because again, it was
so swept and it was so quick that I was like,
what just happened? So this was a nice looking okay,
but now I can't watch that scene anymore. It's upsetting.
It's still good, yeah, they were. Oh and I didn't
even mention like they knew the danger of taking him
in like that. You it was illegal to have a
(16:06):
fourth sensitive child and not turn them in, And I
don't This was never intended, but now they've made so
much material that if Luke had gone and joined the
Imperial Academy, he would have had to take the test
that proves your fourth sensitive and he probably would have
been captured or killed. So I don't know that whole
like delaying him like please don't leave, Please don't leave, jeez,
(16:31):
the whole thing. So many thoughts, so many thoughts like that. Yes, well,
soon I will have the Asoka episode. But in the meantime,
I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I
enjoyed it. And it's always If you have any suggestions,

of this while working on the moisture farm, of keeping
the hydroponics lab, which I like, and finding ways to
(11:49):
make roots, the roots she could get her hands on
into creative dishes that would stretch, because the roots on
tattoin are like take a machette to them and know nothing.
Very tough, very tough. She had mixed feelings about Kenobi
watching them uh and he often would offer help, but
she didn't know how to feel about that. She didn't
want to be indebted to him. She and Owen eventually
(12:11):
decided to just kind of ignore him. She later changed
her mind, though, deciding Owen was being too hard on
Kenobi after he saved Luke from a crate dragon as
a child, and this led to an argument between her
and Owen. Like a frequent argument about it. She and
Owen also decided to try and keep all stuff Jedi
from Luke, which caused Owen to yell at Luke on
(12:31):
several occasions when he would do this Jedi stuff. Really
he would use the force, even though he didn't know
what that was or what he was doing Um. Owen
grounded Luke for asking questions about his father as well,
and this was a point of tension in brewin Owen's relationship.
He lashed out at her on more than one occasion
for suggesting they should accept Luke was going to leave.
(12:51):
One day, she convinced Owen to allow Luke to throw
a goodbye dinner for his friend Big Stark Lighter, reminding
him he had said goodbye to his stepbrother Anakin before
he left. She admitted that while she believed that they
should let Luke leave, she she wanted him to stay too.
Um And here's here's a divergence. In this version, Luke
(13:15):
begged Owen to invite the Javas so that they could
get more droids, with the goal of getting enough that
he could leave Um. And of course, the droids they
purchased brought the wrath of the Empire on them. While
Luke was gone, stormtroopers arrived and burned the Lars's homestead.
They cooperated with the stormtroopers, but Darth Vader ordered them
killed and watches they died over hollow Oh my gosh.
(13:39):
When Luke found their burnt bodies, he buried them and
left with Obi one. He later returned to La to
give them a proper burial, and he put a pendant
depicting Buru when she was young over her burial site.
So that's darth Vader was messed up. That's that's gruesome
around and about statue. And there were rumors that the
(13:59):
Tuscans killed them and Luke and that also another rumor
was that Luke himself killed them. But later a galactic
historian described her as a woman who quote helped shape
the man that became a galactic hero. And she was
well loved and she was well remembered. Um and I
love her. Um. I know there's some stuff about her
being like too traditionally feminine and quiet, but she has
(14:21):
like this like really steady strength and love and kindness,
and I just I've always loved her. I love that
fan fiction treats her so well too. Yeah, she was
pretty dismissed in the franchise. Uh, Like, it was so
quick that I was like, I think when I first
watched it with you all, I said, wait, they're dead?
Is no one's going to process this? Did he? Did
(14:43):
they kill him? Like? I was so confused, even to
the point that you had to I guess, like, where's there?
I don't get it, what's happening. I don't get it
because it was so quickly passed by that I was
very confused about what just happened. It traumatized me as
a kid. I can't watch that. Yeah, yeah, oh gosh,
(15:03):
I don't know. I just love her so much. I am,
I'm worried. I'm excited and worried about the Canobia show
as much as I'm building. I'm I'm nervous, and I
hope that Yeah. Well, I'm generally pretty low key. It's
not obviously, Yeah, but I love these characters so much,
(15:24):
and I've been kind of burnt before, so I hope
that the characters as awesome as I I feel in
my heart she truly is in the show. Yeah. Yeah, well,
that is what I have to say about Brew for now.
I feel like this is a great like thank you
(15:45):
for letting me know about her, because again, it was
so swept and it was so quick that I was like,
what just happened? So this was a nice looking okay,
but now I can't watch that scene anymore. It's upsetting.
It's still good, yeah, they were. Oh and I didn't
even mention like they knew the danger of taking him
in like that. You it was illegal to have a
(16:06):
fourth sensitive child and not turn them in, And I
don't This was never intended, but now they've made so
much material that if Luke had gone and joined the
Imperial Academy, he would have had to take the test
that proves your fourth sensitive and he probably would have
been captured or killed. So I don't know that whole
like delaying him like please don't leave, Please don't leave, jeez,
(16:31):
the whole thing. So many thoughts, so many thoughts like that. Yes, well,
soon I will have the Asoka episode. But in the meantime,
I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I
enjoyed it. And it's always If you have any suggestions,
