Richard LittlerIf anyone is in the Whitehaven area, could you pop over to the Jawas and ask if they have any secondhand droids for sale, thanks.
If you have a prosthetic, implant, hearing aid or pacemaker, please approach them with caution. Get distracted for even a second and they'll swipe it, patch it into a faulty R5 unit or landspeeder, then sell it back to you at 10 times the price.

Richard WebbScum and villainy?
In a Lovecraftian sense. it has the feel of Innsmouth about it, stuck out on its own at the edge of a desolate coastline. At the end of everything where you can imagine anything happening. I only ever visited Whitehaven a few times when I lived in Keswick, but I felt haunted by the place. Instead of Devil's Reef, there's Sellafield (Windscale as was) where they had the nuclear accident in 1957.
But I do love the Brass Monkey bench.

tezz@Richard_Littler well done! 🙂
traecer@Richard_Littler yeah, that R5 unit is dodgy, but they keep trying to pawn it off on someone
not a martian, honest@Richard_Littler I would, but I got a bad motivator
ZenHeathen 🇨🇦@kyonshi @Richard_Littler OMG I just realized a new way to refer to my ADHD
Michael Bacon@Richard_Littler I tried, but an old man there told me they weren't the droids I was looking for.
Captain ButtonMake sure to ask if it speaks Bocci.

jimfl@cptbutton @Richard_Littler
Bocci...?
I have no need for a protocol droid.
James 🦉 #FBPE 🇪🇺@Richard_Littler What about that blue one?
The Little Wars@Richard_Littler but I wanted to go to to Tosche station and pick up some power converters

Deka Black@Richard_Littler That explains so much
renegadespork@Richard_Littler TBH what I really need is a droid that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators, and every one I find comes with some sort of cloud subscription. 🙄

@Richard_Littler could you fetch me a couple of power converters?
WandreCanada@Richard_Littler Incredible
@Richard_Littler Make sure they speak Bocce. You wouldn't want to get ripped off.
Coles Street Pothole@Richard_Littler Sorry, I'm going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters.

Perrin42That has to be intentional. It has to be. Right?
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESJawas follow their own idiosyncratic agenda, which often involves wandering
that they wind up in Whitehaven, Cumbria is more an aspect of their wanderlust, not anything you can identify as strictly coherent and intentional

Simon ZerafaThe last one they sold me had a busted motivator. Not buying from them again 🤨🤷♂️
I just go to Malfunctioning Eddie now. He's basically giving stuff away 🤣
Neil@Richard_Littler I had to look up this place and apparently it's.... a hotel?? https://hotel.edgecumbria.com/
Cosvak@Richard_Littler stop by the other day, damn near all of them had bad motivators.
William Hamilton@Richard_Littler Ask them if they have a droid that speaks Spanish. ;)

Ross of Ottawa@Richard_Littler I tried, but the bearded guy convinced me those were not the droids I was looking for.
Damnedest thing, I really thought they were.
CM Harrington@Richard_Littler @lisamelton without even reading your toot, that was *immediately* where I went when I saw that picture.
Poloniousmonk@octothorpe @Richard_Littler @lisamelton
Same here. I wonder if they're eating rotini? They certainly talk about it enough.

Sam Chavez (she/they/he) 🌈🤠@Richard_Littler they sold me a bad droid last time! I recommend the Jawas down the block.
Feyter@rootschange @Richard_Littler really? I had problems with one droid shortly after buy (he blow up), but they replaced it directly with a new R2 unit. Excellent service.
Trinsec@Richard_Littler Does the droid have to be able to speak Bocce?
Mike Fraser@Richard_Littler I heard their R2 units have bad motivators.
xs4me2Weird stuff…
Guy Bockamp@Richard_Littler ask if they have one that speaks Bocce

mobidic@Richard_Littler I see your point.
Note: For anyone who hates GenAI in general, this was generated locally using ComfyUI on my own hardware.
@Richard_Littler funnily enough I do live near it and have no idea why its that shape.
I can confirm there are no jawa's but plenty of marra's and they can get very cross

A@Richard_Littler we did, but they didnt have the droids we were looking for....
