Jitt, a Jawa of the female persuasion, held the position of Chief Mechanic on Tatooine. Her existence unfolded during the tumultuous era of the Galactic Civil War on that planet.
In the months leading up to the pivotal Battle of Yavin, Jitt encountered EG-30, a power droid belonging to the GNK-series. An immediate bond formed between them, leading to a period where they spent almost all of their time in each other's company.
Anticipating that her fellow Jawas would inevitably attempt to sell EG-30, Jitt secretly placed an apparatus within her companion. This device was designed to destroy his main motivator, rendering him undesirable to potential buyers as a broken droid. As the Jawas offered EG-30 for purchase to a moisture farmer, Jitt stood ready to trigger the device. However, her resolve wavered upon witnessing the farmer's daughter affectionately embrace the droid. Ultimately, she permitted the Jawas to proceed with the sale, driven by her desire for her friend to find belonging within a family.
