"These junk dealers must have a weakness of some sort."
"Gambling."
―Padmé Amidala and Shmi Skywalker[2]

Junk dealers, also referred to as junk traders,[1] junkers,[3] or scrap merchants,[4] were merchants who bought and sold used pieces of technology and equipment.[1] Anakin Skywalker was once a slave owned by Watto, a Toydarian junk dealer from Tatooine.[5] The Crolute Unkar Plutt was a junk dealer who operated in Niima Outpost on the planet Jakku. Due to his monopoly on the market, he had earned the title of junk boss.[6] According to Kylo Ren, Rey was the daughter of junk traders who sold her to Plutt.[7] Her father had indeed taken up the life of a junk trader after escaping the planet Exegol.[8]
