Born in 19 BBY as the daughter of the fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and the Queen and Senator of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, Kara, along with Luke Skywalker, was raised on Tatooine and hidden from Emperor Palpatine and her father, who had become Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. In 0 BBY, Skywalker's life changed forever. A chance purchase of two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, led her to receive training in the ways from Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and to meet Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa, who was, unbeknownst to her, her twin sister. Skywalker then destroyed the first Death Star and joined the Rebel Alliance.
