Luke Skywalker's T-16 skyhopper model


Luke Skywalker's T-16 skyhopper model was a toy T-16 skyhopper owned by the human male Luke Skywalker. In 9 BBY, the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi purchased the toy from the Jawa Teeka after they had brought it to him in his cave on Tatooine. Kenobi left the toy outside of Lars Homestead, but Skywalker's uncle, Owen Lars, returned it to him the next day and informed the Jedi Master to stay away from his family. Sometime later, after Reva Sevander, a former Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire attacked the Lars in an attempt to kill Skywalker, Lars allowed Kenobi to meet Skywalker, and he gave the toy to the young boy. Years later, Darth Vader visited the homestead and ZED-6-7 held the toy skyhopper while inspecting the house.

Luke Skywalker's toy T-16 skyhopper first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, the first installment of the Star Wars original trilogy. During production of the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series, the prop making team made a broken T-16 skyhopper toy prop that was used in the series. The original prop was researched and referenced to recreate the prop.
