    Ok. perhaps this has been covered before, but is this beverage...

    1. Juice that Jawas drink, imported for everyday consumer usage...and if so I wonder if it's in it's natural state, or if it's a commercialized version of an all natural product since importing such a nitch drink from a backwater planet would be expensive I would imagine that a distilled version would be created. or is it....

    2. Juice actually MADE from Jawas!!! Slavery may have been on its way out at this point of the SW saga, but how bout casual liquification for consumer purposes? If this was the case, I cant imagine a guy like Obi-Wan ordering up a cup. Geez, are his robes made from puppies too?

    3. Or is it just a normal drink that has Jawas in its marketing campaign, even though said species might find it offensive that they are being used to sell a product. Kind of like Red Man Tobacco, or something like that.

    4. Or is it a drink that is only endorsed by the said species. I cant imagine Jawas en masse drinking Jawa Juice, so is it possible that there is like a celebrity Jawa who left home and got discovered by a Coruscant talent agency? I only came up with this theory recently thanks to the commentary track for the ATOC DVD where they mention the two aliens arguing about flavors. That part cracks me up every time.

    So, which is it, if any at all?
    And even then, what do you imagine the stuff tastes like?

    ^ [face_laugh] ^ Liquifying jawas.

    "Well, let me just squeeze this here Jawa and see what we get."

    *Moments later*


    "Yummy! I bet there's a market for this."

    Hee hee. I wonder how many Jawas it takes to make a glass? It it's anything like one of those Juicemaster things, probably a whole bunch since you need about four bushels of carrots to get a quarter of a glassfull.

    Geez, I hope they have apples in the SW universe since you have to throw about 12 of those into the mix so that the stuff will even come close to being drinkable.

    *An older fella jumps into view for a Holo-mercial*


    "Good evening everyone! Have I got a product for you!
    It slices, it dices, it the handy dandy JAWAJUICER!
    Ever been out in the Tatooine desert and, oh my, you are just soooooo thirsty? Well, with the new JAWAJUICER, all you have to do is find yourself a Jawa, shove him in and moments later you've got a nurishing drink!"

    "Now, they tend to kick and scream alot as the Smashers to their job, so you may want to smash them over the head with a solid object beforehand. And don't worry about the other jawas, they are afraid of their own shadow."

    "Just call 1-800-777-JAWA, operators are waiting!"

    Now we know what happened to all the burned up jawas in ANH. The local JJ distributor got a call and picks up the juice.

    I think the drink Jawa Juice was coined because of its alliteration, not necessarily becuase it was made by (or worse, out of) Jawas.

    I imagined that Jawa juice (similar to java juice) was originally made from plants native to the Tatooine deserts that the enterprising Jawas mixed in with Bantha milk to make a frothing cappucino-type drink, necessary to keep them awake during their long desert travels. Of course, by the time of AotC, everything necessary for Jawa juice is grown on more hospitable planets or synthesized.

    Is jawa juice an "in" drink in the more upscale Senate district of Coruscant?

    This is on yet off the topic, while being off yet on the topic. Jawas, and Beverages. I heard somewhere (it may have been one of the novels) that if you were to give a Jawa beer, it would be as if giving salt to a slug.

    To answer the topic:

    ARE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES MADE OF GIRL SCOUTS?
    Maybe Jawas Originally sold it. and I think it tastes like a mixture of Mountain Dew and Sminoff Ice.

    So than I guess my theory that some corporation is using Jawa's as some kind of marketing tool is the right one is the most accurate. I bet their are Jawa Juice snobs who will only drink the real thing that comes from Tattoine and wont touch the synthisized stuff you would get in places like Dex's Diner.

    Um maybe it's just a marketing ploy. Ya know, make the product with some alliteration so people will remember it.

    Heck, you could make a cute commercial with little dancing Jawas!

    Sung to the tune of 'Kookaberry'

    Jawa Juice made in the old Dune Sea,
    Bottled in the town of Mos Eisley.
    Drink Jawa Juice, Drink Jawa Juice!
    Save some Jawas for me.

    :D

    You know, for some reason, I think that Jawa Juice is like a salty, spicy concoction. Although I have a feeling I'm making a psycholicial connection between the dark red and brown of their robes, and what their drink would be like. Ugh.

    Could be like "Bug Juice", only applied to a coffee-like beverage.

    JAWA JUICE IS MADE OF JAWAS!!!"

    John Doe Jedi *waves fingers* "Jawa juice isn't made of Jawas"

    Me "Jawa juice isn't made jawas"

    Although the thought of ground up Jawas does appeal to me, perhaps "jawa" is simply another word for orange or some other fruit on Coruscant. Although conceivable and possible that a product of a nomadic people in an Outer Rim world outside republic control could become popular in the capital world, it seems unlikely. Perhaps Jawa has one meaning on Coruscant and another on Tatooine or in other GFFA places or is spelled differently from "jawa" like "horse" and "horse." Take for example, on our planet, we eat a "turkey" and also visit the country of "Turkey." There's a thread for everything on these boards.

    "I ate a Jawa with some fava beans and a big Amarone."

    Jawa "juice" refers to the stuff that keeps their little bulb-eyes lit. Hence, the similar expressions, "juicing like a jawa", and "juice it up my little jawa!"

    GL needs to throw in some new scenes for the Ultimate Editions.

    *Owen wanders into the kitchen*
    "Have you seen Luke this morning?"

    *Anunt Beru is busy shoving a Jawa into the Jawa Juicer*
    He said he ahd some things to do before he started today so he left early this morning."

    "Bot those things sure screamloud going in."--Owen

    "Yes, but thats easily fixed." Beru proceeds to remove and knock the Jawa out, then starts shoving the critter back into the juicer.

    Gatorade isn't made from real gators.

    It was made specifically for the Florida Gators football squad in the 1960s. Just thought I'd throw around some useless trivia. ;)

    I could've sworn it was 'java juice'. You know, like coffee. I don't know where all this 'jawa juice' stuff started from.

    Perhaps they have a Jawa in the back, making coffee percolator noises. "TSSSSSCCCCCHHHH. PLAAAAAAHHHHH. FRSSSPPPPPPPPPP. PT-PT-PT-PT-PT-PT-PT."

    Alright, time for my medication and nap, I see.

    The subtitles even say "Jawa Juice", so it's not like we're a bunch of obsessive fanboys.

    Well, maybe we are... :p
