About the Sandcrawler
™
© Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All rights reserved.
The Sandcrawler
™
is a lumbering, mechanical hulk used
by Tatooine’s Jawas
™
to travel the desert wastes in search
of lost droids, crashed starships, and other treasures.
Sandcrawlers can house several hundred Jawas, who live
in a maze of discarded machinery, minimally functional
droids, and other assorted junk. Originally brought to
Tatooine by early miners, the sandcrawlers are outdated
and require continual repairs, but they provide Jawas with
protection from sandstorms, the desert heat, krayt
dragons, Tusken Raiders, and other dangers.
The sandcrawlers, now used almost exclusively by Jawas,
utilise large steam-powered nuclear fusion engines and
giant treads to move across the Dune Sea and other
wastelands on the desert world. Initially intended to haul
ore, the sandcrawlers were abandoned when the mining
venture on Tatooine completely failed. Almost immediately,
the scavenging Jawas took control of the sandcrawlers,
modifying and repairing the vehicles to suit their needs.
