Jawa

Hooded droid trader

Jawa is a fictional species from the Star Wars universe—small, hooded scavengers who roam the deserts of Tatooine trading salvaged droids and machinery.

They speak in rapid, high-pitched chatter and are recognizable by their glowing yellow eyes beneath brown robes.

The Jawas captured R2-D2 and sold him to Luke's uncle.
