Hi Landon,
Ah, what a fun question! If you're hoping to encounter Jawas and maybe strike up a trade,
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios is the place to be. While Jawas aren’t currently roaming the land for trading like they used to do at certain Star Wars events or in the theme parks in the past, there’s still plenty of Star Wars magic to experience.
The closest you’ll get to the classic “Jawa trading” experience is immersing yourself in the markets of Black Spire Outpost. Here, you can “trade” your credits (currency) for treasures like droids, lightsabers, and other galactic artifacts at shops like Droid Depot, Black Spire Outfitters, and
Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, which certainly feels like a Jawa’s treasure trove but much more organized! Over at
Droid Depot, you can even build and customize your own droid companion. My family had an absolute blast building new droid best friends and then watching them interact with other droids in the test space located across from the store.
While you won't find Jawas engaging in trades these days, you’ll still feel their scavenger energy through the immersive market stalls and theming throughout Galaxy's Edge. Who knows? Maybe one day, the mischievous Jawas will return to Galaxy’s Edge for a little bartering. Until then, “Utinni!” and may the Force be with your shopping adventures.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
