Jawa

"Don't expect a Jawa to keep his filthy hands to himself, whether he's pawing over a rotomex transponder or groping your ass."

- Hetera Phryne

Jawas were a species of desert nomads native to the planet Tatooine, where they operated as traders, merchants, and collectors.

Biology and appearance
Jawas were a rodent-like species native to Tatooine. Diminutive and mousey, Jawas were sentient Humanoids who stood at around one meter in height, and weighed around thirty kilograms. They had a life expectancy of eighty years. Their furry palms suggested leathery, rodent-like bodies, and it was reported that males possessed thick, ridged phalluses of the same dirt-brown complexion as their skin. They had yellow eyes, and covered their bodies in concealing brown hooded robes and wrappings intended to insulate their bodies from the desert heat and cold nights. Jawas had a pungent odor and keen olfactory senses, able to communicate information through smell and distinguish moods ranging from anger to arousal.

Society and culture
"You'll get kicked out faster than a Jawa at an antiques shop if you do or say anything disrespectful to the sex workers."

Jawas were nomadic, though some lived in encampments in the Dune Sea of Tatooine, near the pathways leading to moisture farms and other settlements. They wore insulated, moisture-regulating robes to combat the heat of Tatooine's twin suns and to protect against the cold nights. They were omnivores, and spoke languages including Jawaese and the Jawa Trade Language, though the latter was often used to barter with offworlders; Jawas primarily communicated with each other via their olfactory senses.

Owning sandcrawlers filled with droids, they worked as collectors, scavengers, and traders, and made profits at unguarded junk yards. Jawa merchants taught the art of the deal to others. Jawas made engine lubricant from processing the oil of the polta beans grown on Tatooine's moisture farms. Offworld Jawas worked as traders on Arvala-7 and Nevarro.

Jawas had tribes and clans, some of their number serving as tribal leaders and others as shamans. Females were afforded little respect in their clans, and marriages were consummated in public gangbangs known as a Swap Meat, where guests took turns with the bride. Some clan shamans were said to tell fortunes and cast hexes.

Jawas rode rontos, though some were thrown from their saddles trying to steer a horny ronto bull away from a clutch of musky cows.

History
"Begin your inspection. Satisfy your curiosity, for I will not have you look over me like a piece of droidwork at a Jawa gathering."

- Thrawn

Legends suggested that the Jawas and the Tusken Raiders both evolved from an extinct precursor species known as the Kumumgah. What a Jawa looked like beneath their robes remained an enduring mystery of Tatooine. The Jawa Heights was a region of the Jundland Wastes.

Republic Era
moisture farmers on Tatooine sold the polta bean crops they grew to the Jawas, who processed the oil to create an engine lubricant that was used in turn by the farmers to grease their machines. Pickpockets hoped to sell their takings on to passing Jawa merchants. Jawa beer and Jawa Juice were sold in cantinas on Tatooine. In addition to Tatooine, Offworld Jawas lived on Arvala-7 and Nevarro, and the Piktra Clan operated as traders on Teth.

After mustering out as a soldier on Toydaria, the Toydarian Watto learned the art of the deal from Jawa merchants, and opened a junk shop in Mos Espa.

An inquisitive Jawa once observed Aurra Sing pleasuring herself during a siesta in the Jundland Wastes.

Jawas sold the EG-6 power droid SB-78 to the Lars family of the Great Chott salt flat. Beru Whitesun made use of the droid when her boyfriend Owen Lars was inattentive to her needs, and sneaked away at nights to use its unique phalllic attachment. Years later, in response to Luke Skywalker developing a soft spot for Camie Marstrap, her brother Windom Marstrap retaliated with the suggestion that his Aunt Beru enjoyed "negotiating" with Jawa traders to get better deals on repair parts for SB-78, claiming she lusted over the droid.

Rebellion Era
R2-D2 and C-3PO were captured by Jawas during a mission on Tatooine. While aboard a Jawa sandcrawler, R2 showed holographic footage to other droids of Princess Leia Organa's special message offering irresistible incentive to General Obi-Wan Kenobi. The droid's memory core was acquired by the collector Jot, who pawed over it before returning it to its rightful owner. The Jawa traders sold the droids to Owen Lars, leading to Luke discovering the princess's message.

The appetite of the Frog-dog Buboicullaar led him to consider eating Jawas whole while in Jabba's Palace. After Leia Organa's enslavement, tribal leader Wittin and his shaman-cum-lover Herat obtained Ubese armor from the palace. Following the destruction of Jabba's sail barge that partially exposed the body of the sarlacc, enterprising Jawas cut open the creature's bowels in search of salvage. They made off with a suit of acid-corroded Mandalorian battle armor.

Resistance Era
"Now you're telling me Skywalker wants to bring back the Jedi? Listen, we dug up old reports&mdash;real, verified stuff&mdash;and those monks couldn't be trusted as far as a Jawa can spit."

- Axel Josen

Old storytellers on Jakku drank Jawa Juice and regaled younglings of the rumors that ghosts of Imperial Navy crewmen haunted one of the Imperial Star Destroyers in the Starship Graveyard.

As of the galactic commemorations held over the death of Han Solo, the Jawa traders Atetu and Tweetu were considered old-timers as patrons of Chalmun's Cantina in Mos Eisley. They attended Chalmun's celebration of Solo's life, and sat at a table with fellow old-timers BoShek and Myhr Rho.

After her abduction by Tusken Raiders, Rey was led into King Tokar Aktarus's subterranean chambers by a male Jawa, and was guided to an old woman who made Rey look presentable for the monarch's mating ritual. A Jawa later joined the orgy, sticking his large shaft into the girl's pussy. Several Jawas observed a tryst between Rey and a Tusken, who took her from behind.
