Scavenger

A scavenger was an individual that salvaged old and discarded items and parts for sale or later use.

Jawas were scavengers by nature. A group of Jawa scavengers on Tatooine discovered the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 in the planet's desert wastes and sold them to Owen Lars.

Gha Nachkt was a Trandoshan scavenger operating during the Clone Wars who captured R2-D2 and intended to sell him to General Grievous.
