Legend

this Jawa worked as a mechanic in the city of Mos Eisley, on Tatooine, where he was known to take more naps than complete chores he was assigned. Deja had been exiled from his tribe because of his prophetic visions, which included the arrival of "white-skeleton warriors" on Tatooine. His shaman, after finding the remains of a disabled sandcrawler in the desert shortly afterward, exiled Deja out of fear. During a repair job, Deja fell asleep in the hold of a transport. A malfunction in the drive systems caused the ship to lift off and jump into hyperspace, and it was Deja who managed to repair the hyperdrive. The crew accepted him for a short while, but his smell and his constant cursing quickly irritated them. They dropped Deja off on an unspecified world and fled. Deja spent the rest of his time catching naps and traveling the galaxy, and stopped over on the planet Nubia for a short while during the height of the Galactic Civil War.
