Jeez, I thought I was the only person in the entire game that thought of jawas whenever I saw someone using a hood...
I don't really have any other ideas as to possible inspiration, but some items make references to movies. The voltedge makes a reference to Back to the Future in its description, the gigawatts. I remember Sentenza also makes a movie reference; I forget what the movie was though.
And, as you may know, it spans past movies to things like Troikas being named after folk dances. There's an entire page on references on the wiki somewhere...

Ranging from jawas, to the fabled gremlin on the side of the plane, to references from movies, dances, and others, just how much of this game is a collection of those good old times?

Nope, it's just a coincidence. I'm actually not a Star Wars fan. I've never seen the original trilogy, just bits and pieces! I did have a rancor toy growing up though, was super cool.

I saw the new ones (minus Episode II) before the old ones. I still liked the old ones better. The plot of the new ones completely flew over my head, and the dialogue was so terrible that my friends invented a drinking game for Episode II while they were still watching it in the theater: take a shot every time Anakin uses a pick-up line on Padme.

@Draycos
I think Sentenza was a character from 'The good, The bad And The ugly' If I remember correctly.

The Magic Hood line always
The Magic Hood line always reminded me of the Black Mage class from the Final Fantasy: Tactics games for GBA. Probably because of the "magic user with glowy eyes" thing.

So that is why we don't have a lightsaber! D:
Nicely done, Damien, I never thought of this before, but now it all makes sense. The Jawas taught the Gremlins how to build the clockworks! Why else would they be so into reusing old junky constructs.
