Description[]
Tosche Station was a power station located just outside of the town of Anchorhead on the planet Tatooine. Frequent patrons of the station included Luke Skywalker, Camie Marstrap, Laze Loneozner, Biggs Darklighter, Windy Starkiller, Janek Sunber, and Deak.
In 0 BBY, Luke Skywalker witnessed a space battle in orbit above the planet. He later went to Tosche Station to tell his friends about the spectacle. Later, after his uncle, Owen Lars, purchased two droids from a group of Jawas, he instructed Luke to get the droids cleaned up. Luke whined about wanting to go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters, but Owen rebuffed him, telling him that he could "waste time" with his friends after his chores were done.
