"It looks like the Sand People must have done this, look, there's gaffi sticks and bantha tracks."

"They didn't, but were are ment to think they did....These blast points, their to accurate for Sand People. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."

-Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan, after the attack

The Attack on a Jawa Sandcrawler was an Imperial attack on a Sandcrawler that took place on Tatooine in 0 BBY. It was planned out by an squad of Imperial Sandtroopers, who discovered that the Jawas had stolen the rebel astromech droid that was carrying the Death Star plans. However, after destroying the Sandcrawler they realized that the Jawas had sold the droid to a pair of moisture farmers. After the attack ended, the Sandtroopers set up evidence to make bystanders think that Tusken Raiders were responsible for the attack.
