The term "Jawa" was co-opted from the

Star-Wars films by Americans deployed to [the middle east] while serving in the armed forces.

JAWA is a slang term used throughout the [united States] military; referring to any any person living in, or descended from Middle-Eastern countries. predominantly (but not exclusively) Muslim majority nations.

*Although less common; it can also refer to Jews from Israel / the desert.

Jawa is a racial epithet for the "Sand-People".

and pretty much any group who's women cover their hair or heads.

The reasoning behind the joke is:
In the Syfy films, Jawas are unintelligible; always shouting gibberish at one another as they run around in the sand. They're constantly fighting each other for salvaged or stolen junk.
& Regardless of the heat; they're always wearing full body robes resembling dresses.

*(similar to the thobe, Shalwar, Izar or Bisht Muslim men wear; or the sheitels, hijab, Niqab, Burqa, Khimar, & Al-amira that woman in [the middle east] wear)
