Oh yeah! I remember noticing that when I watched 4K77 for the first time. My guess is that it made more sense to have the background jawas wear black ski masks, as they’d be so far away from the camera. It’s not really the sort of thing you notice unless you’re specifically looking for it. Here’s some screencaps from the 4K scan.
Let’s also not forget this legendary cameo from one of the film crew!
