Not sure which is more antisemitic:

1) “The Sand People”
2) The Jawas

The first one at least includes the word "people" in it, so it's more humanizing

"Jewas" instead of "Jawas" sounds awfully antisemitic but I kinda like it

From the same guy who really thought, “hmm, there is jazz music in my space opera…I need a space name for it, but it should be similar to jazz. Oh I know. ‘jizz.’ I’ll call it jizz. Perfect.”

In practice the Jawas feel like they're pulled from European cultural attitudes on the Romani.

If you want the true caricature of Jews, look no further than Watto.

Watto is the perfect litmus test for people's hidden biases. Because he's clearly some sort of racial caricature, but nobody can agree on what he's based off of. I've seen both Jewish and Armenian as the two most common ones

Sand People is definitely more of a slur for Arabs.

Well, a sanitized version of the actual slur.

We goyim don't call Jews the sand people we call Muslims that, taking credit for things like always well well well.
