One of the characters I remember fondly was the Jawa. Jawas were little brown hooded figures with beady eyes. I don't remember whether they were good guys or bad guys, just that they were really cute.
Recently, when we were on vacation, I was on the balcony of our condo and I looked over at the pool - there were two Jawas!

Actually, they were new umbrellas that had not been opened to provide poolside shade yet that morning... It was such a fun surprise!
I love it when I see something like this - an actual 'thing' that takes on a suggested something else. It's a little like lying on your back and watching the clouds become different shapes. We know they are actually clouds, but we see other things there - usually for just a moment.
And, yeah, later in the day the umbrellas were opened...the magic disappeared.
