Tall Jawas?

I was re-watching 'A New Hope' when I was reminded that in the early bits of the film we are shown a tall set of Jawas. I have been lead to believe that Jawas are always short and immediately went to Wookiepedia to investigate. Wookiepedia didn't shed much light on the whole question apart form saying that they are 'usually' short and rodent like. Does this mean that they can occasionally be tall or is this simply an error on the production of the film?

Any ideas?

I think it's probably a case of how the lore was built up in the years following the release of A New hope. Lucas probably had that mix of extras where most of the Jawas were midgets (who got most camera time) and those were the ones that people came to remember. Probably over time it became "fact" that Jawas were short.

It's like when I was researching my character Palu I noticed how the Sullustans were described as having racial traits such as "outgoing, friendly, fond of practical jokes" etc, all of which were probably derived from the one SW character Nien Nunb (Lando Calrissian's co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon) and that chuckle he made.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I suppose there are only so many midgets...
