"Before the onset of the Clone Wars, two tombstones could be seen outside the homestead: one for Edern Lars, Cliegg's brother, and the other for Shmi Skywalker. By the end of the Clone Wars, however, they were removed.[2]"

I doubt they would have added it to the scene. I think you just heard a rumor

I've never seen it, but I haven't looked for it, either. And I've never heard anything about it.

And in anger, Shmi's ghost causes R5-D4's malfunction skull

No, no, R5-D4 just used the Force (with his midichloroxians) to see what would've happened if R2 wasn't bought, so he malfunctioned.

Bizarre claim to make, sounds like he saw something else & misinterpreted it. Is it possible that there were gravestones on the original set of the Lars homestead? Perhaps to emphasise the frontier nature of the place, where a family might have to bury their dead on their own land, like in a Western?

Either that, or he's trying to create an urban myth similar to the one which says that in one shot from The Wizard Of Oz you can see the corpse of one of the Munchkin actors who committed suicide, hanging from a tree in the background.


I looked for that suicidal munchkin for years, to no avail.
