The Jawas are a scavenger species. They comb the deserts of Tatooine in search of discarded scrap and wayward mechanicals. Using their cobbled-together weaponry, they can incapacitate droids and drag them to their treaded fortress-homes, immense sand-scarred vehicles known as sandcrawlers.
They are not the Sand People. The Sand People are the Tusken Raiders.

The term "Jawa" was co-opted from the
Star-Wars films by Americans deployed to the middle east while serving in the armed forces.
JAWA is a slang term used throughout the united States military; referring to any any person living in, or descended from Middle-Eastern countries. predominantly (but not exclusively) Muslim majority nations.
*Although less common; it can also refer to Jews from Israel / the desert.
Jawa is a racial epithet for the "Sand-People".
and pretty much any group who's women cover their hair or heads.
The reasoning behind the joke is:
In the Syfy films, Jawas are unintelligible; always shouting gibberish at one another as they run around in the sand. They're constantly fighting each other for salvaged or stolen junk.
& Regardless of the heat; they're always wearing full body robes resembling dresses.
*(similar to the thobe, Shalwar, Izar or Bisht Muslim men wear; or the sheitels, hijab, Niqab, Burqa, Khimar, & Al-amira that woman in the middle east wear)

Derogatory term for people in the Middle East, because they live in sand, like the jawas from Star Wars. Also "sand people"
