This three pack of figures called Purchase of the Droids came out in 1997. It is the first time Uncle Owen had been made as a figure, so I had to get it. I like how C-3PO is made to look dirty and Luke is a better sculpt than the previous buff version.
On the back:
Under attack by an Imperial Star Destroyer, protocol droid C-3PO and his partner R2-D2 safely escaped a battered Rebel capital ship and landed on the desert planet of Tatooine. Soon after, the droids were abducted by scavenging Jawas and sold to Owen Lars for use on his desert moisture farm. Luke Skywalker, nephew of Owen and a Tatooine youth, remained unaware that his uncle's purchase of C-3PO and R2-D2 was to help launch one of the most pivotal destinies the galaxy had ever known...his own.
This figure came out in 1999, but I did not buy it at the time. I may not have been paying attention to it. I decided to get this figure some time in 2010 on ebay. It's funny that Aunt Beru comes with blue milk! LOL!!! The Service Droid is officially known as a WED-15-77 Treadwell droid.
On the back of the card:
Beru Lars was the closest thing to a mother that Luke Skywalker ever knew. She and husband Owen lovingly raised Luke as their nephew, and trained him in the mundane ways of moisture farming on their arid Tatooine homestead.. All along, Aunt Beru understood that a larger destiny awaited Luke.
