Eyvind
a moisture farmer on Tatooine, he toiled the air currents about the same time as Owen Lars and Ariq Joanson. Eyvind felt that Ariq's beliefs in a peaceful human-Jawa-Sand Person existence were foolish. When Eyvind became engaged to Ariela, she helped Eyvind understand Ariq's dreams a little better, and Eyvind allowed Ariq to invite some Jawas to the wedding. The two were married on the same day that Imperial stormtroopers destroyed a Jawa sandcrawler and the Lars homestead in search of R2-D2 and C-3PO. The Jawas were grateful for the invitation, and brought a great many gifts. Unfortunately, a group of young Sand People out to prove their adulthood attacked the reception, killing Eyvind and carrying off Ariela. Eyvind left his farm to Ariela, which she and Ariq agreed to tend, when it was safe again.
