The Sandcrawler™ is an approximately 20 meter tall and very massive vehicle that was originally designed as a mining and smelting facility. It later served as a mobile fortress for the nomadic Jawas on the desert planets of Tatooine and Arvala-7, providing them with transportation and shelter. The exceptionally robust facility features a magnetic suction tube that can be used to suck droids and scrap metal directly into the cargo hold. In addition to spacious cargo holds, the Sandcrawler™ also has scrap processing facilities and enough room to house an entire Jawa clan. First appearing in the 1977 film **"Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope"**, Sandcrawlers were in use on Tatooine during the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War. Anakin Skywalker, who encountered a sand crawler convoy shortly before the First Battle of Geonosis, received assistance from the Jawas who operated the crawlers in his quest to find his way to the Tusken Raiders who had abducted his mother.
