- "Huff Darklighter? The head of the Darklighter Estate? He's only the biggest business magnate on Tatooine."
- ―Huff Darklighter's guard, to a spacer
The Darklighter estate was a moisture farm on the planet Tatooine.
History
It was the home of Huff Darklighter, and was owned by Jula and Silya Darklighter.
From above it looked like a compound surrounding a number of buildings including a tall tower. But the buildings were actually constructed below the planet's surface.
A niece of Huff Darklighter also lived in the estate during the Galactic Civil War.[3]
In 1 ABY,[4] a number of spacers visited the Darklighter estate, considering it to be one of Tatooine's greatest vistas.[1] During that time, an antique Tusken King's rifle that belonged to Huff Darklighter's grandfather was stolen by people working for the crime lord Borvo the Hutt.[2]
Behind the scenes
The Darklighter estate appears in the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies.[1] Here, players can take a quest to help return an antique Tusken King's rifle to Huff Darklighter.[2]
Players must visit the Darklighter estate to complete the in-game "Panoramic Vistas" collection.[5]

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Point of Interest: "Darklighter Estate" on Tatooine

- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
