In the fictional "Star Wars" universe, the Skywalker family is a Force-sensitive family started by Shmi Skywalker on Tatooine. Shmi's son, Anakin Skywalker, was apparently conceived by the midi-chlorians and born with the help of The Force, though her surname seems to imply the family has long been strong with the force. The ability to influence the midi-chlorians to create life may have been discovered by Darth Plagueis, a Sith Lord, lending a clue to Anakin's origins. Many fans speculate that either Plagueis or his apprentice, Palpatine, may have been responsible for Anakin's conception and therefore would be his "father" based on the legend that Palpatine told to Anakin in "Revenge of the Sith". The film seems to be deliberately ambiguous on this point.

After Anakin left Tatooine, Shmi married Cliegg Lars, becoming the stepmother of Owen. Owen later married Beru Whitesun, both of whom (by virtue of being Uncle and Aunt-by-marriage, respectively) functioned as the foster parents of Luke Skywalker after the events of "Revenge of the Sith".

As a Jedi Knight, Anakin secretly (and against the rules of the Jedi), married Padmé Amidala, who gave birth to twins, Luke and Leia (Luke Skywalker has since formed a new Jedi Order, where the members are apparently no longer forbidden to marry). Luke was raised on Tatooine by his aunt and uncle (Beru and Owen Lars), while Leia was raised by Bail Organa and Queen Breha Organa on Alderaan.

In the Expanded Universe, Luke, following his sister's marriage with Han Solo and the birth of the Solo children (Anakin, Jacen, and Jaina), eventually married Mara Jade in 20 ABY and later, in 26 ABY, had a son named Ben.

According to an ongoing comic book series from Dark Horse called ', which takes place 130 years after the end of ', Cade Skywalker, son of Kol Skywalker and a direct descendant of Luke Skywalker (and presumably Ben Skywalker, though this has not been confirmed), is the last surviving Skywalker of his time around 140 ABY. It is shown that he has completely abandoned the Jedi way after the New Sith Order attacked the Jedi Academy on Ossus, and Cade's fighter is shot down in the battle. Cade is not killed; he is picked up by a pirate, Rav, and his crew and subsequently becomes a bounty hunter. However, he still encounters other Jedi, as well as the ghost of Luke Skywalker.
