Yay we finally got a Jawa breakdown. My favorite species of Star Wars, the scammers of a galaxy people hate, but usually have to deal with. And also the people who would steal your stuff, sell it back to you for expensive prices, and you’re gonna like it.
I always found Jawas cute and a little silly. But after learning about their history made me feel sympathy for them. The Rakata really were pure dark side beings. Still really like these adorable little scavengers, their voices are also enjoyable to listen to.
Even though the Rakatan were monsters, the side quest of KOTOR in which we meet a Rakata in a mind prison was sad af, considering that Revan became the closest thing to a friend that imprisoned Rakata had in thousands and thousands of years. In fact, the part in which Revan, when he is about to be released, asks the Rakata to at least tell him his name and the creature responds that he doesn't even remember it anymore broke my heart 😢
@@slothfulcobra To be fair, he directly told Revan about that and decided to fairly obtain his body through a competition. He was as decent as the situation allowed him
That does make sense. That he was more honourable than the Rakatan seemed, and was imprisoned makes me wonder if he was part of a rebellion as someone else said
This was my first exposure to the species at all, in any way. I was surprised when they turned out to be evil, my impression was that he was quite bright, and honorable as well. To be frank, if you take away our ability to break reality and play out different paths, from his characters in game perspective there's really no way for him to know if you would have been willing to give up your own freedom upon defeat. For him to be willing to give up what might have been his last chance at being free for who knows how long once you win fair and square, well not just anybody would do that. Lord knows the average human would have been as willing to give up such a thing based on honor alone. I consider what I would do in a situation like that, and really I have no idea if I would have been able to accept defeat under those implications with as much grace and dignity as him. To say he's a bad guy in any way is interesting, we don't know much about him, but from what we do know it seems to be the opposite.
I think that the random taller Jawas are a result of their scavenger lifestyle. They don't just pick up stray droids, they pick up orphaned children as well.
Fun fact: the movie Phantasm from 1979 had creatures that looked remarkably similar to Jawas, leading to a sort of in-joke among the movie's fans. It's been confirmed as a coincidence by director Don Coscarelli as Phantasm had entered production before Star Wars was released in 1977.
In one of the Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina the Jawas seem to sleep strapped to cubicles to save space on the crawler.. I keep imagining them laying in hammocks dozing lol..
I think it makes more sense that Jawas build sand crawlers based on the mining crawlers they first encountered rather than them surviving for thousands of years.
As soon as the first Jawa was killed by a settler, everyone would have known what a Jawa looked like. I hate the "No one has seen under their robes" trope. Not just for the Jawa, but any species that uses it. It makes no sense in a world where other species kill and eat these things.
@@АлексейМомот-щ7о But they didnt. Thats just a stupid point to try to make. Tatooine is colonized and people sell juice made from Jawas. Clearly, Jawas didnt win that fight.
Thanks for segmenting your video to be easy to skip parts like, say, a sponsorship! This fills me with respect for you and I will now watch the sponsorship in it's entirety!
I’m glad you made another species video I can’t get enough of these videos great job I like it when you do planets too ! Keep up the great work ! You have the best star wars channel on the internet !
i had a Jawa Jedi in my New Republic campaign, c.20-25 ABY. He liked bathing, which made him popular with many non-Jawas. He had 2 Lightsabers, Green & Blue. Its been a while, but i think he had either an A-wing or an Eta-2 interceptor, & an R3 Astromech.
That's because that's a style native to the planet and George later adapted it as official Jedi garb. Originally the Jedi were supposed to be a warrior society instead of more monk like. Obwan was blending in with the locals in order to hide from the empire. He didn't know what he wanted to do with the Jedi at this point.
@@macwelch8599 Yeah something like that is what he had in mind originally, I really don't think he thought that far ahead at this point. He had no idea it would become the pop culture sensation that it became back then. We didn't actually get a chance to see what other Jedi actually looked like before The Phantom Menace.
I like the idea that Jawas are the evolution of rats in the star wars galaxy... Like imagine after millennia of observing us from the gutters and walls, rats begin to evolve developing their own languages and religions, walking upright and slowly getting taller through generations to more easily interact with their environment and other species (sentient rat asks to trade a coin for a couple chips, bet most would do it just for the memes), they begin using tools and scavenge and trade knowledge and resources to the point they develop space travel... They would probably act in an almost identical lifestyle that the Jawas portray in the films...
I love the KOTOR mission in which, thanks to HK-47, we know the history of the Tusken, and how Tatooine was in the past an beautiful planet completely ruined by an unknown empire. Simply 🤯
It would be cool to find out if "Spice" what ever it is to whatever it serves or those who seek it is only a natural occurrence on desert worlds.... imagine where that could take us .
The Jawa make look cute, especially in the Lego games but don't let their small appearance and cute voices fool you. They take any tech that isn't strapped down.
i'm thinking, find one of the more trustworthy & honorable Jawa Clans & make friends with them. Then, steal a Sith capital ship, like a Terminus or Harrower, then load it up with Sandcrawlers. Present your Jawa friends the capital ship loaded with Sandcrawlers. Your descendants will be heroes/allies to the Jawa Clan for thousands of years...
lol like the other people commenting, I think it is clear I am referring to the Tusken on screen, and it is obvious that HK-47, who I also name at ur timestamp, is just translating
Considering that both the Tuscan Raiders and Jawas share the same ancestors, I'd argue that they might resemble a smaller version of their ancestors, perhaps with more hair and larger eyes. So think of a lemur or bush baby.
Ta-tooine Dan-tooine -tooine is a survey marker suffix that means 2-INdustrial-Emergent so Jawa are native to planet Ta-. Humans (sand people included) are not.
it would be adorable and funny if the jawas are rat like beings cause in one old SW game has tuskens taken off tatooine unmasked and they looked feline so tatooine is just one big episode of Tom and Jerry lol
i always took them for being linked to the planet and Sand people in the way that they were both slave races of the Infinite empire until they rebelled and thus led to the glassing of the planet it is possible that both groups were living on the planet in peace in the times before the empire but split and became the groups we know of today after being forced to adapt and the Jawas love of salvage and offworld tech could be traced back to the remains of Infinite empire tech that was not fully destroyed during the glassing
MetaNerdz, is every planet in the galaxy at some point theorized to be origin of humanity? Would you be interested in covering ancillary lore like hard-to-read Supernatural Encounters?
There is another place in the KotoR series where they say that Sand Crawlers are actually abandoned Rakata garbage trucks, which explained why they still worked after ten thousand years of service. While this contradicts the Czerka claim, I suppose that's just their writer's way of saying "who really knows?"
Didn't really find their culture all that dark. Its not like they are cannibals, do sacrifices or trade in slaves. Arranged marriages and bridal bartering is sort of primitive, and they are little thieves, but their nomadic lifestyle and familial bonds almost make them wholesome. Almost. If one word describes their race it has to be opportunistic.
I don’t think they cared about the other war crimes they cared about the war crime being committed against them but just to say forget about it for a muddy egg
Great video, right up until you broke into the MagicSpoon ad. They're the Raid Shadow Legends of food ads. Not worth the money they give you to shill their garbage. Would have thumbs'd up if not for that. 🤷
Well at least Tattooine wasn't destroyed by global warming... I was genuinely worried with the Carbon Footprints of those Fusion Powered Sand Crawlers.
Kotor is the best shit ever, and HK best character to omg to die for. Last bits in Revan in HK and the Ebon Hawk, I can feel what Revan was like through the ship and through HK. Edit: 2:46 dude.... WTF?

At least they aren't violent like the Sand People.
@@twistedyogert I imagine they're only violent when provoked, rather than taking potshots at podracers for fun.
I think it was a result of not having enough short extras on set.
@@R.Lennartz Well, sure, if you want to get all boring about it.
It’s two Jawa standing atop eachothers

Jawa: “But I like sand better!”
Anakin: I DON'T LIKE SAND!

The Jawa appearance always fascinated me, so thank you for covering this!
In one of the Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina the Jawas seem to sleep strapped to cubicles to save space on the crawler.. I keep imagining them laying in hammocks dozing lol..
Ah yes, the creatures that scared the crap out of me as a kid watching A New Hope
We have seen in The Mandalorian, incidents of whole crawlers full of Jawas living on other planets, besides Tatooine. Thanks for the video.
Off world Jawa.
This is the video I've been waiting for! My favorite aliens in all of Star Wars. OOTINI!!!
I always found them adorable and fascinating tbh.
I think it makes more sense that Jawas build sand crawlers based on the mining crawlers they first encountered rather than them surviving for thousands of years.
You should've gotten some footage from Star Wars Droidworks, the only place I've seen a Jawa speaking basic [english]
As soon as the first Jawa was killed by a settler, everyone would have known what a Jawa looked like.
I hate the "No one has seen under their robes" trope. Not just for the Jawa, but any species that uses it. It makes no sense in a world where other species kill and eat these things.
Maybe the settler got killed instead 😔

@@Im-Not-a-Dog Jawa juice isnt made from Jawas. This is mentioned in the video.
@@GraciousInk1530 Sorry to correct your correction, but at 15:53 he said it wasnt made "by" Jawas, not that it wasnt made "from" Jawas.
I guess you could say this is the Utiniment guide to Jawa lore.

I would love the idea of seeing a Jawa Jedi or Sith someday

He had 2 Lightsabers, Green & Blue. Its been a while, but i think he had either an A-wing or an Eta-2 interceptor, & an R3 Astromech.
I'm amazed nobody in Star Wars ever unwrapped a dead Jawa or Tusken raider and saw once and for all what they looked like underneath
love Jawas. glad you covered them
Very interesting though that Jawa robes are nearly identical to Jedi robes.
They stole a shipment of robes meant for Yoda and Even Piell.
@@Im-Not-a-Dog lol

These in depth species breakdown videos are fantastic. Love this type of content MetaNerdz! Definitely keep these coming!
I can remember reading about Jawas decades ago. The early lore was that you could only understand them if they wanted you to.
Up to date Jawa Metanerdslore video
I love your channel awesome video l want to see Rakata in future of star wars
Ooh what if the Fremen invaded Tatooine and brought all the planets Worms, with them
Holy wow batman! You've come a long way, good for you dude!!
3:30 um.. right, an observer.. definitely just that
9:24
For those who dont want to sit through the add.
Peli Moto was definitely one weird chick but she is one of my favorite characters.
This is where the footage of the Ebon Hawk flying into Anchorhead came from

“i once dated a jawa” -pelli
They're quite furry.
They’re like the Kid Boppz version of Fremen
I don’t know why, but the Jawa’s are funny in the 3 scenes in the beginning.
I guess Mandalor will eventually become a desert planet at some point since it's surface was glassed in the Night of a Thousand Tears.
Their little voices reminds me of minions from despicable me.
Jawas, The Ferengi of Star Wars.
GREAT VIDEO!!
Wait, Jawa juice isn't made from Jawas?! I'm disappointed.
Next thing someone will tell me Ewok Jerky isn't authentic.

one of the best, I want to figure out how to make a video just on that
Is time to learn about the jawas
I wanted to dress up as a Jawa for Halloween once but couldn’t find a costume
Nice vid. I think you should do the Ishi-Tib and H'Nemthe species.
Thanks
Calling Peli Motto an "observer of Jawa physiology" is the most cursed way to refer to her.
Ewok warcries were reused sound effects of the jawa yells
It would be cool to find out if "Spice" what ever it is to whatever it serves or those who seek it is only a natural occurrence on desert worlds.... imagine where that could take us .

Jawas look like Orko from He-Man cartoons
The Jawa make look cute, especially in the Lego games but don't let their small appearance and cute voices fool you. They take any tech that isn't strapped down.
Kinda like Calth from 40k but in a couple thousand years if evolution
Can you look at Fallout Liberty Prime
"Utini"
Strange you did not mention Bliz and his clan of snow Jawas
i'm thinking, find one of the more trustworthy & honorable Jawa Clans & make friends with them.
Then, steal a Sith capital ship, like a Terminus or Harrower, then load it up with Sandcrawlers. Present your Jawa friends the capital ship loaded with Sandcrawlers. Your descendants will be heroes/allies to the Jawa Clan for thousands of years...

I have no information on this subject but mabye they are related to ewoks in some way.
Magic spoon does taste pretty good but it's definitely not worth like $9 for that tiny box of cereal
I like how Peli Motto dated a Jawa. 😆
You be missing a lot of info, the sand crawlers origin to name one
Check out the vid on the sandcrawler
Tatooine is the Florida of the star wars galaxy.
Screw that ...its the Texas of the star wars galaxy!
No its clearly the [Insert location you personally dislike] of Star Wars!
Desert Ewoks
Cathar and/or Herglics plz
MetaNerdz, is every planet in the galaxy at some point theorized to be origin of humanity?

And the Jawas were totally ripped-off by Games Workshop in the form of the Watchers in the Dark.
Except they’re nothing alike and the only thing they share is being a short robed figure
Hello
UTINI!
Why does the average long form video essay TH-camr have huge biceps and long hair
Utini!
What I’m just curious about more than anything else is how far can a regular person punt a Jawa?
You please clean my stolen parts before selling back to me jawa but that cost extra my blaster gose off at him for that insult

Jawas are ne of the creatuers that are entertaning to happen to some one else in the SWU.
Jawas made the best Arnold Palmers in the quadrant.
Tatooineen is basically Florida
