So, I've recently started farming Jawas for the Crit Damage mods, and figured since I'm farming them, I should find out from the people who've been at it a while what other uses these little guys have outside of 3 battles (tiers 1-3 of the mod challenge). It would be a real bummer to have an entire squad of toons getting all dressed up with no place to go.
I'm aware that Dathcha forms a part of a popular AAT squad with CLS and Raid Han, and that Nebit can run with droids against select teams in the arena, but that's pretty much all I know of.
So what do you do with these guys? Are they even worth taking to 7*? Are there any who are complete duds? Are they ALL complete duds?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Love this post. Love to hear some feedback as they have been a side project of mine for quite sometime.
I am sorry, they are so cute, but they wont take you anywhere.
I have them all at gear 10/11
2017 called, it wants its post back.
Atm, Jawas are nothing to invest heavily in.
Assuming the only reason to have these fools is to get a mod set, and keeping in mind Engineer and Dathcha will be 7* (one because I might use him, and the other because he's already there and an easy GW farm), what gear/star level should I have the others to be able to 3* the T3 mod challenge?
Dathcha - 7*, G8 (maybe higher depending on how easy he is to gear)
Engineer - Same as Dathcha
Scavenger - ???
Chief Nebit - ???
Jawa - ???
Who are the most important to have developed, and are there any who are basically just along for the ride? I'd really like to avoid farming Jawa and Nebit farther than I have to because their farming locations compete with toons I'd actually like to get.
Thanks again for the responses, even though I was hoping that someone has been able to find roles for them even if it's very narrow.
Jawa Scavenger: Very good in HAAT p2 and p4 with Clones. Because he has some health steal, he'll heal up after the tank AoEs. He also guarantees an extra attack with Rex's group attack, and if it happens to be Rex himself, that will put his TM at 100% and allow you to group attack again.
Jawa Engineer: Works great with droids if you don't have BB-8 yet. BB-8 only speeds them up at the start of the battle, but Engineer would rarely get a second chance to give them bonus TM, so it's a push.
Chief Nebit and generic Jawa are a little lackluster. But a full Jawa team is surprisingly decent in Territory Wars on defense, or on offense against mid-tier teams. Obviously they won't beat any meta teams, but if your opponent actually uses a meta team against them, you're definitely ahead on the transaction. I'd recommend using a droid instead of Jawa Engineer, though, since Chief Nebit can call it to assist and get some extra benefits. IG-86 works well-enough. Put Jawa Engineer into a team with four droids, then put BB-8 in a Resistance team with Jedi Rey. That's three teams, ranked from really good all the way down to pretty okay!
They're worth it just for the mods.
1 team with JE, a healer and 3 assist callers / TM swappers/givers. Always call JE to assist and always give him bonus TM.
1 team with the remaining 4 jawa under Luminara lead relying on jawa scavenger to put detonators on the opponents.
Nebitt is a pretty decent tank if you need an extra one for cleanup teams in TW, or for a protect-the-Nihilus squad or something.
They have cool synergies with droids.
Definitely an F2P essential.
I've decided there's just too many things I want to farm from the cantina and that I'm just going to get Jawa from his two hard nodes. This will put him behind the rest from a stars perspective. So as long as it's easy to 3* the challenge with a minimally upgraded Jawa, I should be good. And since he doesn't seem to have much, if any, utility outside of the challenge, I'm cool with that.
Unicorn ? Nah...
In what way are they good in HAAT? As a straight Jawa team, or some sort of combo situation?
Oh wait, we're talking Jawas, not Jawa. My bad.
I think you mean "Untinni!" my friend. Nice try though @Rath_Tarr lol. Jk man. but still...
Just checked Wookieepedia. lol
Jawa Engineer and Nebit with HK leader and two hard-hitting droids for Team A, and the other three (Dathcha lead) plus two other characters with really strong basic attacks (Luke, Scavenger Rey, Greedo, etc) for Team B.
There are also situational teams, like Dathcha, Luke and Raid Han (and no one else, just those three) for p1. But those two teams listed above work well because they'll be getting assists all over the place.
I know you asked about HAAT, but I'll chime in with a Territory War suggestion as well: I run four droids plus Jawa Engineer (you could use BB-8 instead, but I find it more useful with Jedi Rey's team) on one team, and the other four with General Greivous on another. Neither team is unbeatable, but they're both tough outs and will often be underestimated by opponents and beat two or three moderate teams.
(Don't go all five jawas in one team, Engineer's abilities have better effects on droids than on jawas. Meanwhile, Chief Nebit's abilities shine with at least one droid on his team. So swapping Engineer for any droid will make two teams better.)
