Jawaa of Tatooine - Star Wars series 1 card #16

More Jawa action!

What's Topps about this card?

1. Jawa's did not carry weapons as they are a peaceful lot...the fellow in this card is holding his ion blaster, used to restrain droids.

2. The Jawa’s unofficial motto was not to look for uses in a salvaged item, but rather to imagine someone else who might find a use for it...they'd make great environmentalists in our day and age.

3. It's a Jawa...everyone loves a Jawa...except Stormtroopers and droids.

Artoo is imprisoned by the Jawas - Star Wars Series 1 card #11

The little Jawa's...I always felt sorry for them when the Storm Troopers torched a whole load of them.

What's Topps about this card?

1. They are mysterious...what is actually under that dark hood?

2. The front Jawa in this scene is saying to the others...."if we turn this droid upside down could use it as a waste paper basket.

3. Trivia...the Jawas were the centerpiece in one of the strangest copyright infringement cases involving Star Wars. In 1978, small hooded creatures with glowing eyes that Young called 'Roadeyes' began accompanying rocker Neil Young on stage during a concert tour, in a tour film, and on the cover of the album Rust Never Sleeps. The case was settled out of court.
