Legend

according to a HoloNet comic that appeared sometime during the height of the New Order, Fred Jawa was part of a group of Jawas who made a comfortable living selling droids to the residents of a settlement known as Dura Mater. As part of a plan to extract even more credits from the hapless farmers, Fred worked with another Jawa known simply as Stan. Stan had a working relationship with the moisture farmers of Dura Mater, and was always ready with more droids when the old ones finally died. After Stan made several sales on his own, Fred Jawa would suddenly appear at the next sale, claiming to be a "consumer advocate". Fred then explained to the farmers that Stan had failed to provide full warranties. The gullible farmers of Dura Mater always fell for the spiel, and opted to buy the "extended warranties" that Fred claimed their were entitled to. In this way, the Jawas sold the same droids to the farmers, but also made a profit selling them bogus "extended warranties".
