HOW MUCH frantic baby shopping did Owen and Beru have to do when Obi Wan dropped off a WHOLE ASS NEWBORN on the doorstep?

Like, did he at least give them a pack of diapers and tin of powdered formula?

Or just HERE'S A BABY

Catch! Later, got jedi stuff to do

"Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's your nephew, so raise him maybe"

Five minutes after the end of RotS just UTTER PANIC

I hope that Tatooine moisture farmers are like other farmers and the news that the Larses just had a newborn turn up resulted in people just quietly turning up with hand-alongs and haroun bread pudding

Like the Organas no doubt had all that shit in storage somewehre

I think I need to write a fic

I think I need to read that fic.

as if owen didn't kick him out the moment obi-wan explained why he was here with this baby

(Also the other side of it I'm currently living in is omg how the hell to get rid of the stuff when it's outgrown and you don't have a palace to store shit in.)

(Hand it off to people who just had Jedi drop off infants?)

yeah I expect there was was "crecheling" bag that had 1 bottle, 2 days of formula, 6 diapers, 1 extra blanket in it and that was it

so very frantic

... man the Jedi probably DO just have random bags in case them across a Force sensitive baby in their travels

yep

Anakin himself has had two missions in four years that involved him handling an infant or toddler, which doesn't seem like a look but he's not a seeker

I assume there are species specific formulas and some general "carnivore diet" "human adjacent" "herbivore" "calorie heavy" etc

OH I bet they got a bunch of hand me downs from the Darklighters

oooh, you're right, I bet they did.

I wonder if the aridity of Tatooine means that hand me downs can last for not just decades but possibly even centuries, possibly stored. And did they deal with elderly neighbour drama of wanting vids of the deeply nonplussed baby in them

(The Child, being male, was mostly spared that. His girl cousin, otoh, has been in a series of Facebook posts where I just know that the 70s-patterend polyester sundress was on for 30 seconds to take and tag the picture before it was banished into a deep, deep box.)

oh god

lol oh yes
