Seeing as Babe Ruth doesn't exist in Star Wars, I'd say there's a strong chance they're lying.

Nooooo...YA THINK there always lying and ther idiots to.
They're Jawas. They're short guys armed with beat up ion guns...they're anything but idiots. They get hunted by Tuskens and shot at by pretty much everyone else, so they don't have time to be idiots about anything lol.
it seems you have broken through my logic and yes your right and I called them idiots becasue THEY STOLE B5 from me once so the must burn were they stand.
:o JAWAS!
dangerous little fella's, definitely not idiots though. highly intelectual, and I really like their pulse emp guns.
Watch out Firey, getting B5 back wont be an easy task, unless of course you have some buddies.
I got B5 back form them jawas and the only reason I got to the station was by highjacking a escape pod of a passing Luaxary space crusier. I rerouted the controler boosters to pilot thourght space with this one had (of all things) short rnge hyperdirve system I put the cordinates in and got here and thats my story. ;D
