Curious if there's anywhere you've heard of that says they absolutely cannot. If they can have Force-sensitive children, I was going to write a little piece of fiction on a Tusken Raider, Jawa , or Hutt becoming a Jedi Padawan- but before I did so, I wanted to make sure I was staying as close to Lucas' Universe as possible. I thought it'd be clever if a member of one of the most recognized, yet despised, races of the Galaxy reached such an honorary rank.

Disney Canon

Unknown.

EU/Legends:

  • Hutt - evidently, very rare. But there was one Hutt Jedi: Beldorion. It didn't end well.

  • Jawa - There was one Jawa Jedi as well. Akial. And some EU canon hinted that there existed female Jawa shamans who were Force-Sensitive.

  • Tuskens: Never saw a mention of a Force-Sensitive one. A'Sharad Hett if frequently mistaken for one, but he's 100% human genetically, contrary to frequent perception, not half-Tusken.

Bonus EU/Legends Round

Wookieepedia summary

Not directly referenced, but each species is a Wikia link and some of them are properly cited

Species with high number of Force-sensitives included Humans, Kel Dors, Ithorians, Twi'leks, Zabraks, Yoda's species, Nautolans, and even the rare and mysterious Duinuogwuins. Species producing low numbers of Force-sensitives included the Wookiees, Jawas, Hutts and Caamasi. The Neti, Anzat, Korunnai (a Human tribe), Vahla, Red Sith, Miraluka, and many other species were entirely composed of Force-sensitives. Gotals may all have possessed the ability to sense the Force, although they had little practical use for it. Jungle Felucians, as a species, were all Force-sensitive, but none were known to have become Jedi.

Creatures such as the vornskr and ysalamiri of the planet Myrkr were other examples of non-sentient creatures who were considered Force-sensitive. An ancient mynock species was even rumored to have established a Force-sensitive run civilization relying on dark side energy.

    Interesting! Is it suggested that Beldorion fell easily to the Dark Side because he was a Hutt? Or am I guilty of cultural stereotyping?

    @ThruGog You probably are in this case, but don't worry about it, being a Hutt, he would be guilty of the same thing! (or was that cultural stereotyping by me now?)

  • The "Stegosau[ru?]s Jedi" looks more like a something-ceratops to me, maybe with a little bit of Ankylosaurus thrown in.

There's actually one force sensitive tusken raider named KkH'Oar'Rrhr or hoar for short

    You might wish to note that this character exists wholly within the Extended Universe (now referred to as "Legends") and as such, isn't part of the official Star Wars canon; starwars.wikia.com/wiki/KkH%27Oar%27Rrhr

  • Additionally, some more information about the character would be really beneficial.
