Junk dealer

Junk dealers, also referred to as junk traders, junkers, scrap vendor, or scrap merchants, were merchants who bought and sold used pieces of technology and equipment. On Tatooine, the Jawas were a species of junk dealers, traveling the sands of the Dune Sea in sandcrawlers in search of scrap to refurbish and sell. Anakin Skywalker was once a slave owned by Watto, a Toydarian junk dealer in Mos Espa. The Crolute Unkar Plutt was a junk dealer who operated in Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku. Due to his monopoly on the market, he had earned the title of junk boss. According to Kylo Ren, Rey was the daughter of junk traders who sold her to Plutt. Her father had indeed taken up the life of a junk trader after escaping the planet Exegol.
