Jawas Native to the desert planet of Tatooine, Jawas are intelligent, rodent-like scavengers, obsessed with collecting out-moded and abandoned hardware. About a meter tall, they wear rough-woven, homespun cloaks and hoods to shield them from the hostile rays of Tatooine's twin suns. Ususally only bright, glowing eyes shine from beneath the dark confines of the Jawa hood; few have ever seen what hides within the shadowed garments. One thing is certain: to others, the smell of a Jawa is unpleasant and more than slightly offensive.
