- "My father didn't fight in the Clone Wars. He was a navigator on a spice freighter."
- ―Luke Skywalker
A spice freighter was any transport used to transport spice. Owen Lars lied to young Luke Skywalker, claiming Anakin Skywalker had been a spice freighter navigator.[1] This did hold a kernel of truth, as Anakin had navigated the Twilight, a spice freighter, a number of times during the Clone Wars.[2] Before joining the Rebel Alliance, Mishowan Shigormallan served as a cargo handler aboard a spice freighter.[3]
Behind the scenes
Spice freighters were first mentioned in the 1977 saga film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.[1]
