One time I was doing business on Nar-Shadda with a friend, no matter what business, first I saw the local Jawas steal a light bulb in the corridor, and then they dismantled the elevator car. When we finally managed to leave the building, it turned out that our speeder had been stolen. Two Klatooinian guys were very nice and asked us if we needed help. We thanked them, they didn't have a speeder, only sticks.
R5-D4 gave his motivator for the Rebellion. A true hero. Remember him on Galactic Memorial Day. Oh wait, he didn’t die, he showed up in The Mandalorean series.
I love how philosophical things get. A lot of the cultural issues you were talking about are 100% applicable to the real world and so many issues we face in the modern day
I feel like the Jawas learned from their experiences with all these mega corps and the first alien settlers in tatooine and choose this path where they could essentially just exploit the aliens who basically decided to take control of their world without any of the violence that the tusken use but with the same feeling of "fuck you" and what's even better instead of becoming the classic star wars species that is exploited in their homeworks by aliens they were the ones to exploit the aliens without having to fight anyway
Except the “aliens” have been living there for well over 100,000 years as of the time of A New Hope. A culture of criminal subversion only devalues communities and propagates violence. However “punk” the sentiment, a culture of crime attracts criminals. The hutts didn’t invest in the planet because they are kind. And scamming all people of a different species or ethnicity for the perceived slights of an entire race is racist or speciesist.
They are not created equal, but they all end. There is an equality in the historical certainty that every society will end at some point no matter how more efficient it is than its contemporary.
@@jeffreycarman2185 That's not a solid argument against basic logic.

I always figured that Tatooine was supposed to be an obscure backwater planet. That Obi-Wan selected it to hide Luke. But Lucas himself subverted this when he made Tatooine Anakin's homeworld. Too many stories focus on Tatooine. I guess it must be a fan favorite.
Years later, watching Obi and Luke just casually talking about how the Jawas were killed. No empathy whatsoever, shows that some locals hated dealing with them, but did so out of need. I guess Kenobi did have some sympathy as a Jedi, since he had Threepio pile them up and burn their corpses. Or he might've been planning to steal the Sandcrawler and didn't want any evidence.🤔
The Jawas and Sandpeople were originally just a way to show how harsh Tattooine was. Exaggerated versions of desert bandits but made faceless to add to their alien quality. If they were truly bad for the local economy then someone like Jabba would have wiped them out a long time ago. If the Jawas weren't around there would be something else filling in that niche of that mostly lawless planet.
They still do show how harsh Tatooine is, newer content just shows an angle of their cultures that expands on that. We may recognize that the Tuskens aren’t lawless savages, but that doesn’t rob anything from their appearances in the films. For the settlers on Tatooine, the Tuskens are still very much a threat, and both groups much prefer to avoid contact because it almost invariably devolves to conflict.
They are bad for local economy, but the Hutts tolerate them because they serves several functions, scapegoats being one, for several.not so legal activities, and a way to move stolen goods etc..
Back in 1977-78 Kenner sold action figures of Star Wars characters. Back then, they sold the cantina patrons under the name such as Hammerhead (later know as an Ithorian) Snaggletooth (I think it was later called a snevian if I remember correctly. I'm probably wrong) Walrus Man, aka the aqualish Pondo Baba, and so forth Where did these "nicknames" come from and what is the true species names of the cantina denizens?
I thought the moisture was collected to grow crops. I remember in the Star Wars radio play Luke telling C3PO how green everything looked when the crops were in. Is that canon? Either way, Tatooine is based on the Southern California desert town where Lucas grew up, also seen in American Graffiti
12:06 That's Skippy the Jedi Droid! I have the graphic novel that includes his story. He escaped from Jaba and R2 didn't convince him to do that, he had a vision that if Luke didn't take R2 and finds the message the Empire would win, so he, of his own accord, used the force to destroy his motivator. The last thing he saw before his consciousness faded was what would come to pass due to his sacrifice, the Empire being defeated. Thank you, Skippy, the galaxy is in your debt! 🫡😁
see the problem is less what jawas do, it's that theres too many of them. consider, on tattooine there's raiders destroying things, leaving behind high tech garbage. The jawas scavenge and repurpose these scraps, returning part of their value to the economy in their role of wandering tech sales and repair shop merchants. and so the issue isn't the jawas, but the total lack of policing, if the towns could effectively force jawas to curb their rampant thieving, they would still have a place in society providing recycled low cost goods.
@@redshift739 ok, but without policing you're still gonna have somebody doing thieving, nature abhors a vacuum and where theres no cops crime pays. and then if you have cops, bam, all the sudden jawas are handy to have around.
I would like to lear more about the logistics of star wars and how that can impact battles and or how the supply lines are organised. Like how does the star wars universe have all these big ass navys without supply ships to refuel them and how would troops on the ground get supplies?
2:03 is that the The Hu's cover of Sad But True? If so I can see Allen is a man of taste beyond succulent ewok cheek. 2:38 You want to contract Kuro, because that is how you contract Kuro.
It was, actually. Not much, but a bit went on there about the Clone Wars. As far as I know, all that happened there was some negotiation between the Republic, CIS, and the Hutts. There was a brief fight between Count Duku and General Skywalker.
You would THINK that since Tatooine has been the headstart for countless important character's storylines, that - in the post Empire era - the world (or at least the whole area surrounding it) should be better protected or at least have more resources injected. The last scene of SW, have a foreign person taking the famous identity of a local person and stealing it for its own purposes.
If you want the parts we stole returned it costs $ If you want them dusted and polished, it coats you $ If you want them reassembled, it will cost you $ We would charge you NOT to steal your parts BUT us Jawas make more this way instead.
Dunno if the Jawas are SO bad. can see quite a bit of use in hiring a team to use as mechanics, scouts and limited Tech experts... perhaps even as appraisers of random stuff. Wonder if any Jawas or Tuskens got their weird species members too that are basically Archeologists/Historians obsessed with their own Ancient history. An study their homes' distant past... like they be shown in their verses' equivalent of an Holo Intergalactic History Channel special... on the History an Cultures of Tattooine
Imagine if the jawas went to felucia to scavenge some clone wars tech, they probably wouldn't survive long. Not without a turbolift powered transport since a sandcrawler obviously wouldn't be able to maneuver very well in a jungle environment. Maybe they could salvage, or buy, or steal an AT-OT and modify it to better suit their needs
IIRC in the original Radio play of Star Wars, R2 actually sabotaged the R5 while on the crawler to ensure he was purchased over the R5 Also Luke & Owen shot up a flare to attract the Jawas. Apparently that was SOP - need a Jawa, shoot up a flare.
Jawas might not be native to Tatooine. The Sand People are probably native though. It was once claimed that Jawas and Tuskens were offshoots of the same native species but none of that is canon anymore. It’s possible all intelligent life on Tatooine migrated there at some point, in some cases many thousands of years ago.
You make great films, you are my number 1 channel about SW. But I will partially disagree with you here. To be clear, I do not think that the Jawas' attitude is somehow morally right and I agree that they cause losses to the locals. But what are they supposed to do? Without theft and trade, the Jawas, locked between the Tuskens and the colonists, would die or be killed off. They are too weak to attack like the Tuskens. They will not cultivate the land en masse. So they live as they can.
It's what we might call a vicious and unbreakable cycle. The hostility of the environment forces a lax approach to morality encouraging theft, which in turn discourages the kind of investment needed to make the environment less hostile, ensuring theft is required to survive, and so on and so forth.
@@matthewwatkins7473 Agreed, but the Jawas are a secondary issue. First of all, Tatooine is a planet that is not conducive to civilized life for obvious climatic and resource reasons. And neither the Republic nor the Empire nor the Hutts were interested in investments that would make it suitable for better living. This is not Arrakis or terraformed planets from the Alien universe like Acherton aka LV 426. The corporations have also withdrawn. The truth is that without the Jawas, the farmers' lives would not be much better anyway. The Jawas are annoying, but they are not the source of the backwardness that plagues Tatooine.
@@matthewwatkins7473 And secondly, who asked for human and non-human colonists. Aren't there better planets in the Galaxy? It's not all colonized. To some extent, this can be applied to Jakku. I'm not mocking Tatooin colonists, but they landed on a foreign planet that was not adapted and was difficult to adapt to life. Of course, we can wonder here whether life for the Jawas would not be worse without them. And if I remember in Dark Lord , The rise of of Darth Vader it was at the end of the book when Obi Wan visits Anchorhead I think and hears for the first time in the news about Vader, the author's comment is that Obi is grateful to the Jawas for helping him survive the first period on Tatooine. In the series, Obi Wan, despite disputes about the purity of stolen parts, trades with them. Owen also goes to them for droids, not to Tosche Station or the store. So they could be useful.
@@janmos5178 it does make me wonder why anyone would move to Tattooine. The place doesn't seem like it has much going for it. It's the kind of place that exists because you can only have so much nothing between more populated and prosperous places. :)
I like the points you make about romanticizing anything foreign just because it's different. Not all cultures are morally equal, and you can respect them and not hate them but you're usually not better off trying to occupy the same space and neither are they, unless you have some degree of cultural assimilation. I read somewhere that when the US evacuated tens of thousands of people out of Vietnam as the Communists captured Saigon, they put these people in special housing on military bases for two years where they were taught American culture, history, and English, before they were dispersed into the US population. This effectively curtailed the usual problems a country experiences from mass migration.
Did you know that even Franck Herbert was smart enough to have Dune/Arrakis blown up in later books because going back to the same well over and over and over is BORING.
🤔 . . . I MOSTLY agree. Though I may disagree on the finer details, I still completely agree with the direction that the Jawas are. Personally, I disagree that the Jawas would steal from moisture farmers, at least moisture farmers that they have good business relationships with. However, in regards to stealing from complete strangers, that I wholeheartedly agree with you there & such…
Not scales, tumors; think about it, they lived for about 10,000 years underground on a radiated planet with a limited gene pool. That means inbreeding and that means cancer.
I thought 3PO sabotaged R5 to keep him and R2 together, and that was what he really meant by "sticking his neck out". Interesting twist if R5 was doing R2 a favor
Your videos are a master class of I have no people skills but I am attractive enough to present niche informations to my fellow nerds. Literally all of us mouth breathers should aspire to be like him... what are we doing with our lives he's living our best lives!
I thought Knights of the Old Republic said the Jawas and Tuskens devolved from the surviving Rakatans after Tattooine got glassed by their revolting slave races. The folks who stayed close to the surface got radiation poisoning and became the Tuskens. The folks who stayed deep underground became the Jawas.
The Ewoks may eat sentiens, but they only do that when one is dumb enough to get caught in a hunting trap ("Great, Chewie. Always thinking with your stomach."), or act like a-holes(Storm Troopers taking potshots at Ewoks that are trying to be friendly). But, not only are they actually friendly, when not trying to eat you, but they taste delicious and even sell the meat of the illicit arena Death Match fatalities. The Jawas don't even taste good. Then they have the audacity to play the victim when you try to recover your stuff. Din had to put his freaking life on the line just to get his parts back just because he overreacted to catching them taking his ship apart. I prefer the Tusken psychos over the rat people any day. At least the Tuskens have SOME justification to back up their behavior. I hope Fett scours that rock of the little monsters.
i say hit the planet with an ice asteroid, or the like. be kind, send a bunch of small ones, or be cruel, and target a key point out of anger. but, the ice asteroid would be able to add to the local water, and help green the planet. would put a long term dent in the issues with the locals.
Do you really need someone to explain how that fight would end. At least with the storm troopers they had access to support. FO is just a more undisciplined version of storm troopers
@@kotor610 The FO Stormtroopers have similar training to the Clones over a longer time period since they age normally, they're no strangers to being outnumbered or outgunned by the enemy, and thanks to the Unknown Regions they should be able to handle the Clones more creative strategies relatively fine.
Everyone complains when Jawas come to town, but the same people still come looking for bargains when they put droids and parts for sale.

Agreed. And this colonization with Dowager Queen and in the times of Czerka was idiocy.
In a galactic civilization only to planets matter core everything legal and core everything illegal that why visit those 2 planets so much
Next one "the tusken Raiders" and why xenophobia and brutality are the Best things in the Star wars universe
Jawas will steal something really expensive from you and attempt to sell it back. That’s called a crook on a clock.
My question is why did they decided to live there?
I like the points you make about romanticizing anything foreign just because it's different. Not all cultures are morally equal, and you can respect them and not hate them but you're usually not better off trying to occupy the same space and neither are they, unless you have some degree of cultural assimilation.
I read somewhere that when the US evacuated tens of thousands of people out of Vietnam as the Communists captured Saigon, they put these people in special housing on military bases for two years where they were taught American culture, history, and English, before they were dispersed into the US population. This effectively curtailed the usual problems a country experiences from mass migration.
OMG is that what they look like?! 😮
Not really.
Those who have not; do as they must... I appreciate the attention to an underpublicized set of Star Wars
They're eating the lothcats
I would rather live next to a sandcrawler than a illegal immigrant encampment.
They're eating the lothwolfs, they're eating the lothcats.
@@Motoko_Urashimapretty sure that makes you the illegal immigrant.
what do they use the credits for?
Did you know that even Franck Herbert was smart enough to have Dune/Arrakis blown up in later books because going back to the same well over and over and over is BORING.
Spoilers?
🤔 . . . I MOSTLY agree. Though I may disagree on the finer details, I still completely agree with the direction that the Jawas are. Personally, I disagree that the Jawas would steal from moisture farmers, at least moisture farmers that they have good business relationships with. However, in regards to stealing from complete strangers, that I wholeheartedly agree with you there & such…
they may not steal from the moisture farmers but they see no problem in selling them droids that will break within days
REAL TALK
* buy's cheap droids from some sketchy jawas *
Based Allen being based yet again!
Love the picture 😂😂😂
That Jawa is way to scaly
Not scales, tumors; think about it, they lived for about 10,000 years underground on a radiated planet with a limited gene pool. That means inbreeding and that means cancer.
3:48 Actually the Jawas are the locals and the farmers are intruders. At least on Tatooine.
If we took a break from tattooine completely for like a decade would make it a special moment when we go back
I thought 3PO sabotaged R5 to keep him and R2 together, and that was what he really meant by "sticking his neck out". Interesting twist if R5 was doing R2 a favor
Your videos are a master class of I have no people skills but I am attractive enough to present niche informations to my fellow nerds. Literally all of us mouth breathers should aspire to be like him... what are we doing with our lives he's living our best lives!
What happened to the background of Star Wars cities?? OR is that one now😀
Ive never heard czerka pronouced like that. Its always pronounced with a silent c so zerka in the games
Think the cz in Czech
One would think that silicon and solar power would also be industries that aren't being utilized.
I thought Knights of the Old Republic said the Jawas and Tuskens devolved from the surviving Rakatans after Tattooine got glassed by their revolting slave races. The folks who stayed close to the surface got radiation poisoning and became the Tuskens. The folks who stayed deep underground became the Jawas.
JAWAS = Junior Actors Workshop At School. Or something. Aka a good excuse to bring in young actors in live action shows. J.
Your hair!!! 😍
The Ewoks may eat sentiens, but they only do that when one is dumb enough to get caught in a hunting trap ("Great, Chewie. Always thinking with your stomach."), or act like a-holes(Storm Troopers taking potshots at Ewoks that are trying to be friendly). But, not only are they actually friendly, when not trying to eat you, but they taste delicious and even sell the meat of the illicit arena Death Match fatalities.
The Jawas don't even taste good. Then they have the audacity to play the victim when you try to recover your stuff. Din had to put his freaking life on the line just to get his parts back just because he overreacted to catching them taking his ship apart. I prefer the Tusken psychos over the rat people any day. At least the Tuskens have SOME justification to back up their behavior.
I hope Fett scours that rock of the little monsters.
Like for the part between 1:00 and 3:00.
I believe R2 told the other red unit to pretend to be worthless. Because R2 always knows what it's doing
i say hit the planet with an ice asteroid, or the like. be kind, send a bunch of small ones, or be cruel, and target a key point out of anger. but, the ice asteroid would be able to add to the local water, and help green the planet. would put a long term dent in the issues with the locals.
Please make a video on 200 FO Stormtroopers vs 200 Clone Troopers
Do you really need someone to explain how that fight would end. At least with the storm troopers they had access to support.
FO is just a more undisciplined version of storm troopers
@@kotor610 The FO Stormtroopers have similar training to the Clones over a longer time period since they age normally, they're no strangers to being outnumbered or outgunned by the enemy, and thanks to the Unknown Regions they should be able to handle the Clones more creative strategies relatively fine.
