The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

The alien Pi-Lippa had a relative. Following Pi-Lippa's death[1] between 72 BBY and 41 BBY,[2] the relative purchased the enslaved Human Shmi Skywalker as property[1] from the inheritors of Pi-Lippa's estate.[3] The relative did not want to grant Skywalker's freedom in spite of Pi-Lippa's intentions to do so.[4] Skywalker was later sold as property to the Hutt[5] crime lord[6] Gardulla Besadii the Elder,[7] and was taken to the planet Tatooine,[8] where she was ultimately freed after being purchased by the moisture farmer Cliegg Lars.[7]

Behind the scenes

Pi-Lippa's relative was first mentioned in the 1999 reference book Star Wars: Episode I The Visual Dictionary, written by David West Reynolds.[6]

  2. ↑ The Official Star Wars Fact File 70 SHM 1-4: Shmi Skywalker establishes that Shmi Skywalker was enslaved as an infant and was acquired by Pi-Lippa as property until Pi-Lippa's death, which took place prior to the birth of Skywalker's son, Anakin Skywalker. According to The Official Star Wars Fact File 140 FAM 1-2: Skywalker Family Tree, Shmi was born in 72 BBY and Anakin was born 41 BBY. Therefore, Pi-Lippa must have died in between those years.
