All they need are a decent head part (for Yoda) or robes (for Jawas).
Ewoks would still need a "minifig vest" type of additional piece, to
provide the padding.

Maybe TLC could make a new "feet" element, that is 1 plate high.  This

plates, to make the shorter characters.

One advantage of the Jawas and Yoda: they were robes, so the bodies can be
somewhat vague in shape.

As nice as it would be to see Yoda, Jawa, and Ewoks that are smaller than

one of the new Watto minifigs will realize that. They used the same body
piece that they used for Chewie. As a result, Watto is actually as tall as
Chewie (maybe even a smidge taller). I thought it was ridiculous that Anakin
was as tall as the other minifigs, but making Watto as tall as Chewie is
just silly. :)

(...) If it's between getting a Yoda minifig that's as big as the rest and getting a single piece Yoda (like Sebulba) I'll take the Yoda minifig... But I for one hope that Lego realizes how important it is for Yoda, the Jawas, and the Ewoks to (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.starwars)
