BTW, the Skyhopper wasn't a "toy". It was designed in preproduction, a full scale version was parked in the "garage". (it's right there in the background!) Luke was obviously playing with a filming miniature that was never used in the film.
solium, you seriously believe that IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SCENE, the filming miniature Luke plays with is NOT meant to be understood by the audience to be a toy?
Does Luke have a sci-fi filmmaking career going on the side?

I don't know why but this shot looks like a Star Wars "spoof".
In that still, as below, the stormtroopers explore the sweet white-frosting surface of the birthday cake planet, Fattooine.

Is this a joke photo from the movie set or something? Why is the black stormtrooper holding white stormtrooper action figure?
Maybe the Empire is after a rebel family which has a child in it. So far their only lead is this stormtrooper doll which was left behind.
In Episode IV, Luke is briefly seen playing with a toy spaceship, so toys aren't unprecedented in the SW galaxy.

Yes, the miniature Skyhopper is one of Colin Cantwell's concept models, IIRC.
I always though of it "in-universe" as sort of the Star Wars equivalent of one of those 1/24 scale models of hot rods by Revell or whatever. We know from the dialogue in the famous deleted scenes that Luke, at the start of his journey, is kind of like the restless teenagers in Lucas's previous movie American Graffiti, bored by backwater boonies life and passing the time hanging out with friends (whether on the streets and businesses of Modesto, or at Tosche Station in Anchorhead) racing and tinkering with motor vehicles while yearning for something more. To me, Luke swooshing around his miniature T-16 in the garage is kind of like some earthly 17- or 18-year-old in his parents' garage, idly toying with an AMT model of an early '70s Mustang or something, while a real one sits nearby awaiting restoration.
