The residence of the Skywalker family served as the abode for both Anakin Skywalker, a slave, and his mother, Shmi Skywalker Lars. This dwelling was situated in Mos Espa on Tatooine, a desert planet. Specifically, it was positioned within the Slave Quarters Row, found on the periphery of the city. At the time that Sabé, a handmaiden representing Padmé Amidala, journeyed to Tatooine with the intention of liberating Shmi from enslavement, Shmi was no longer living there. Furthermore, a recently carved emblem depicting a white sun adorned the door.
