Jawa religion

The most well followed religion of the Jawas is the followers of the Jawalord. The Jawalord is a mythical figure of history who will appear reincarnated into a young Jawa during great times of crisis. Oddly the Jawalords unlike most leaders are not known for their military skills, but actually their business and diplomacy skills resorting to bloodshed only when he has no other choice.

Jawalord I
The first Jawalord came into Jawa myth as their leader when the planet was destroyed long ago and turned into a desert, this leader taught his people how to survive the harsh conditions of the desert and deal with their neighbors the sand people.

Jawalord II
"These incursions, do not view them as an enemy, but more as a business opportunity."

- Jawalord II

The second Jawalord came into Jawa history once contact was properly restored to Tatooine, and it started to become a home for criminals and bounty hunters. This Jawalord was able to bring all of the Jawa clans together an convince them to treat these new arrivals as a business opportunity, instead of a threat.

Jawalord III
"I will come again to bring our kind to greatness, I will not be in your form but in the form of another from the stars. I shall lead us into a golden age and create the first Jawa empire. Until then my brethren live in the shadows and do not call attention to yourselves. For your time will come and with it a new era of the universe."

- Jawalord II

Many followers await the arrival of the third Jawalord, which the second Jawalord proselytized during his time upon Tatooine. This Jawalord is said not to be of the Jawa species itself, but to be a creature from the stars, an outcast of his own race to be taken in by the Jawas. This other will prove himself to at heart be a new reincarnation who will lead his clan into the stars building a mighty empire for the Jawas, and creating a golden age for years to come.
