8t88, a lowly calculation droid, coveted credits and wanted to be more human, both odd characteristics of a droid. He also wanted to be a bounty hunter. What was he thinking? He was hired by Jerec to find Morgan Katarn and discover the location of the Valley of the Jedi. He managed to steal Morgan’s journal disc and lead Jerec to where the Valley was. 8t88 was then pursued across the galaxy by Kyle Katarn, Morgan’s son, and finally Kyle retrieved the disc but was unable to destroy 8t88.

Battle Droid at Naboo
First seen in Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Battle droids were the main source of infantry and footmen for the Trade Federation and later the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Cheap and easy to mass-produce, they were deployed in amazing numbers so that if needed the Federation could merely overcome opposing forces by sheer force of numbers. Battle droids are expendable and they aren’t programmed to fear so they go willingly to their deaths.

First seen in Episode I: The Phantom Menace
“Hello, my name is C-3P0, human cyborg relations. And this is my counterpart, R2-D2. I am fluent in more than six million forms of communication.” The famous line heard many a-time by the prissy and sometimes annoying protocol droid. Threepio has been around the galaxy more times than anyone, just about. He has seen it all, has been through it all, and he still lives. He’s had just a few “owners” since he fell into the hands of Leia Organa all those years ago. He went from her, to Luke, and back to her again. Simple as that. He served Leia in the New Republic as, you guessed it, a protocol droid! He was with the crew during the Galactic Civil war, the war at Bakura, the retaking of Coruscant, and so many more battles, too many to mention in this space. He’s taken quite a beating and had many buffs and re-platings, more than any droid should have. And an unusual thing about him is that he’s not had his memory banks wiped as is normal for a droid. He’s kept his memories and harrowing tales stored in his memory banks for years and years. He has been a great friend and companion to many people throughout his long years in the spotlight. He even helped during the Yuuzhan Vong crisis, because one of the dead languages he had stored away in his memory banks was similar to the Yuuzhan Vong tongue so he was able to translate for those who needed it. That was a great help in defeating the Yuuzhan Vong. While he may seem a small character and while he may grate on people’s nerves, he is more important than a lot of people give him credit.

EV-9D9 was the head droid in Jabaa’s Palace, in the droid operations center. She processed every droid who came through and either deemed them worthy of service to the master and branded them his property or threw them into the scrap heap to be melted down and/or used for spare parts. She was cruel and ruthless at her work and showed no mercy, ever.

He was a great help to 1B especially when the finer things were needed, or just when an assistant was nice to have around. FX-7 helped make possible some of the seeming miraculous medical feats performed by 1B. Together they were a great medical team.

LE-BO2D9, or Leebo, is an early model of the Cybot Galactica repair droid. Originally the property of the postmaster on Esseles, he was aboard a ship that got stolen and he was sold for credits to a failed comedian. He then found his way into the company of Dash Rendar, smuggler. Leebo was a fair pilot and often took over the controls of the Outrider while Dash was planetside conducting business. Together Leebo and Dash had many fun adventures. Leebo almost always had his tool bag slung around his shoulder.

Mouse droids are pretty much the most generic run-of-the-mill droid around. They can perform simple labour tasks and other simple tasks. The Imperials used them mainly for message delivery in every single one of their outposts and battleships, including the Death Star. Generally, the little droids were disliked by the galaxy for various reasons.

Pit droids are the bane of podracers because of their rather humorous nature. They screw around with each other instead of performing their tasks. But the pit droids can lift many times their own weight so they make good tools for repairing the often bulky engines and other parts of the podracers. And they are also efficient at performing the repairs…if they ever get around to it. They are even known for sending themselves through podracer engines for kicks. That’s the other great thing about them: they’re extremely durable. Not much can break a pit droid. Except for the little tap on the nose, and they fold up, to perform no more interesting things until they’re tapped on the nose again…

First seen in Episode I: The Phantom Menace
R2-D2; the designation number itself conjures up images of the most courageous little astro droid that anyone anywhere has ever heard of. Facing great perils strapped in behind the pilot of a snubfighter, this little droid has seen more action than many of the best pilots. Artoo has been from one side of the galaxy to the other, along with lifelong friend See-Threepio. Together, that droid pair is probably the most famous team of droids anywhere, with a close second to Bollux and Blue Max, but that’s for another time. Artoo has been in the co-pilot seat in many different ships, including but not limited to just about everything from an X-Wing to Mara Jade Skywalker’s ship, the Jade Sabre. Artoo can fly just about anything by himself and he can quickly speed up the hyperspace coordinates because he’s had so much experience with it. Along with Threepio, Artoo hasn’t had his memory banks wiped for many years, which gives him his cute little personality that makes him such a lovable little droid. And who doesn’t love Artoo…

R4 was the astro droid aboard the Jedi Starfighter that Obi-Wan Kenobi flew during the time leading up to the Clone Wars. The different thing about the jedi starfighter astros was that they were actually part of the ship, with just the dome actually showing. The rest of their internal components were actually inside the ship itself, rather than the droid being set into a socket.

R5-D4, or more commonly Red, was an inexpensive astromech droid that was aboard the Jawa sandcrawler the same time as Artoo and Threepio. It allowed Artoo to program its motivator to blow up after Red had gone a little distance to ensure that Artoo went along with Threepio and Luke. Red was later repaired and sold to another moisture farmer. Red is a poor navigator but an excellent mechanic.

The super battle droid was the much improved version of the original battle droid. This model had better body armour as well as wrist-mounted blaster cannons that packed more punch than the original droid blaster rifle. These droids wreaked havoc on the Republic forces and the Jedi during the battle in the Geonosis coliseum. They are more durable and reliable than the original battle droid.

This menacing abomination of machinery was used by the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader, to torture his prisoners until they told him what they wanted to know. The droid had a number of truth serums and electrical shocks and a wide variety of other means to make you break and talk. The methods were a bit inhumane, but then again, the Empire isn’t exactly the most perfect example of kindness, are they?
