I've always thought the academy was a military academy. There would be no cost to him and it would be a ticket off of Tatooine.
shareExactly.
shareYeah, since the Academy was producing cannon fodder for the empire, they wouldn't charge the students.
But I don't know that they'd provide transport for students who lived that far away, and as useless and unwilling as Luke was, Lars would rather have some work out of him than by paying for passenger tickets to Coruscant.
I wouldn't be so sure. In the USA, if you join the military, transport to your initial training, such as boot camp, is provided.
If not, Luke could always sell his speeder, just like he did to charter the Millennium Falcon.
Good to know!
But Lars seemed like the kind of desperate bastard who'd have a heart attack if Luke asked him for a new pair of shoes for the trip.
Edit: Luke may not have been able to sell his speeder to get off Tattooine, Owen was probably the legal owner as long as he was alive. But then, I doubt legality was ever much of an issue in Mos Eisley.
Luke:
Uncle, my bed sheet was passed down for 3 generations from Lef Lars, it has holes in it and it gets really cold on a night here in Judland so im shivering all night and cant egt any sleep.
Uncle Owen:
We had a poor harvest this year Luke. We could save the credits to hire more hands next year, then we can buy all the blankets we want.
Luke: But its a whole other year.
Uncle Owen: Its only one more season.
-Luke leaves pissed off
Aunt Beru: Owen, Luke cant stay cold forever. Most of his friends have blankets and he has too much of his father in him.
Uncle Owen: Thats what im afraid of, his father is cold blooded just like him and those space blankets are expensive.
Aunt Beru: It means so much to him.
Uncle Owen: Ill make it up to him next year. I promise.
(Binary Sunset plays as Luke tries to get the last heat he can from the sunsets)
This is pretty funny.
