Did Owen and Beru Lars ever meet R2D2 during the events of prequels?
I would be primarily interested in canon (3 prequel movies), but if there are no such instances in canon, an answer based on Legends is fine.
(I'm thinking of 2 possible instances: either when C3PO was living with Shmi; or when R2D2 accompanied Anakin to Tatooine when she was killed, would be my own 2 main possible guesses).
Answer
YES, R2-D2 accompanied Anakin to Tatooine and got out of the ship during Shmi's funeral:
from Attack of the Clones Script
EXTERIOR: TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, GRAVESITE - DAY
ANAKIN, PADMÉ, CLIEGG, OWEN, BERU, and THREEPIO are standing around Shmi's grave. Two other headstones, one smaller than the other, stand in the blazing suns.
CLIEGG: I know wherever you are it's become a better place. You were the most loving partner a man could ever have. Goodbye, my dearest wife. And thank you.
Brief pause. ANAKIN steps forward and kneels at his mother's grave. He picks up a handful of sand.
ANAKIN: I wasn't strong enough to save you, Mom. I wasn't strong enough. But I promise I won't fail again... (he stands up) I miss you so much.
Silence. Then BEEPS and WHISTLES are heard. They turn as ARTOO rolls up.
PADMÉ: Artoo, what are you doing here?
ARTOO BEEPS and WHISTLES.
C-3PO: It seems that he is carrying a message from an Obi- Wan Kenobi. Master Annie, does that name mean anything to you?
