Nebit's tribe

A tribe of Jawas led by Chief Nebit lived in a sandcrawler on the planet Tatooine where they traveled throughout the Dune Sea scavenging droids and technology to sell. In 1 BBY, the tribe captured the rebel droids C-3PO and R2-D2 then sold them to Owen Lars of the Lars moisture farm. Shortly afterwards Imperial stormtroopers tracked down the tribe in search of the two droids and massacred all of the Jawas.

Later, the bodies were discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan saw through the imperials attempt to make the massacre look like a Tusken Raider attack, and burned the bodies in respect.
