A type of tracked service vehicle was used by Jawas of the planet Tatooine. It featured a crane that could be used to lift astromech droids and load them onto the vehicle. At one point, a pair of Jawas utilized the vehicle while handling the astromech R3-T2 and confronting a Tusken Raider.
Characteristics[]
A tracked[1] service vehicle on[2] the Outer Rim Territories desert planet[3] Tatooine was used by members of the Jawa species,[1] who led a scavenger lifestyle.[4] It featured a brown, tan, and gray chassis mounted on black tracked treads. At its front, which featured the station of its sole driver, it had a small windshield, and two blue-charge–emitting weapons were also mounted at the sides of the vehicle's forward section.[1]
The central portion of the service vehicle featured a tan-colored articulated crane, which could be used to hoist astromech droids and place them onto the vehicle at a specially designated space in the back section. There, a pair of hand tools could also be fastened to the vehicle.[1]
History[]
At some point, a pair of Jawas operating a service vehicle that had the astromech droid[1] R3-T2[5] lifted with the help of its crane encountered a member of the Tusken Raider species while not far away from a Jawa sandcrawler. The Jawas at another point dealt with the droid catching fire while the service vehicle was parked next to a sandcrawler that was in turn situated in the vicinity of a moisture farm.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Jawa service vehicle was introduced as an original vehicle in a 2018 LEGO toy set.[1]
