I have four Jawa Star Wars action figures from the 1970's. I've played with them while playing with my children and our Lego bricks. They still have the personalities from when I played with them when I was a child. Two of them are less serious, misunderstand many things in a funny way, and sometimes a bit reckless.
So my son, Adonis, and I were discussing various things while on our way to the sitters. I was using my Jawa voice and he asked why Jawa's have such a high pitched squeeky voice. I told him because of how they spoke in the first Star Wars movie I saw (now labeled Star Wars IV) and mimicked what they said when the one Jawa told all the others to come out and pick up R2D2 after one of them zapped him. And then the conversation switched and went something like this.
Son: You stole R2D2.
Jawa: No we didn't, we saved him from rusting in the desert.
Son: That's stealing.
Jawa: If we hadn't of come along when we did he would have rusted in the desert.
Son: You still stole him.
Jawa: From who?
Son: From Anakin Skywalker.
Jawa: Anakin Skywalker wasn't their owner anymore.
Son: When Darth Vader came on board the ship he was looking for them.
Jawa: He was looking for them because he wanted the plans not because he owned them. Princess Leia was their owner.
At that point the conversation turned to Anakin being able to own them even though he was dead because he was wearing clothes from Star Wars II or III. It sounded better while we were having the mock argument as we were speaking very quickly and sometimes trying to talk over each other as the Jawas have a tendency to do that and in Adonis' opinion they talk too much.
We are fans of Star Wars and get into various interesting conversations with me pretending to be one of the Jawas. Two of my other children, Liem and Sharleen, started pretending to be Jawas a few months ago and get into it too at times speaking in high pitched voices.
Another common point of discussion is the fact that the Jawas often crash Lego vehicles such as cars, trucks, space ships, planes, helicopters. It's always an accident or because two of them are fighting over who gets to drive. So today the Jawa said he hadn't crashed anything and that he was a good driver. Adonis added the word yet to imply that he would crash at some point today.
