Jawa/Legends

Jawas are short humanoid natives of Tatooine. They are scavengers, often seeking out technology for sale or trade in the deep deserts in their huge sandcrawler transports. They are also a pygmy and rodentlike race, and considered "remarkably ugly". They are about 1 meter tall and characterised by their brown robes, yellow eyes, and quickly spoken language. In most Jawa clans, half the clan works and lives in the sandcrawlers while the other family units dwell in fortresses deep in the desert where wares collected are stored. These fortresses have high walls made from large chunks of old wrecked spaceships for protection against Tusken Raiders and krayt dragons.

A band of Jawas were responsible for locating C-3PO and R2-D2 and selling them to Luke Skywalker's uncle Owen Lars. Another tribe of jawas was also responsible for finding Jabba the Hutt's rancor.
