Concealed in dark robes that protect them from the twin suns, the timid and acquisitive Jawas scavenge scrap metal, lost droids, and eqipment from refuse on the many crashed spaceships that dot the desert landscapes of Tatooine. Their glowing eyes help them see in the dark crevices where they hide, and their rodent like-faces are remarkably ugly. While there are a few Jawa settlements, most Jawas patrol the dunes and dusty rocks in gigantic sandcrawlers, ancient vehicles from a mining era long ago. Jawas can offer real bargains in the junk that they repair, but are notoriously tricky and will swindle the unwary buyer. |
