Minor Droids In Star WarsThis article is about minor droids in the fictional Star Wars universe. It includes specific droids rather than droid types (such as protocol droids and battle droids for instance.) 2-1B 2-1B (also spelled out in literature as Too-Onebee) is an Imperial medical droid who decided voluntarily to work for the Rebel Alliance instead. 2-1B was the head medic in Luke's revival from the wampa attack on Hoth. For this reason, Luke chose 2-1B to be the droid that attached Luke Skywalker's cybernetic hand in . An advice column written in his persona would briefly appear in the Star Wars Insider. 4-LOM 4-LOM is a droid bounty hunter, with an insectoid head, who was hired by the Darth Vader to find the Millennium Falcon. His name may be an acronym for "For Love of Money." 4-LOM was working as a cabin steward on a luxury liner when trouble with his programming caused him to begin to steal from the passengers. When Jabba the Hutt became aware of 4-LOM he modified the droid to make him more dangerous. While working for the Hutts, 4-LOM was teamed with the bounty hunter Zuckuss. 4-LOM's body is similar in design to C-3PO, due to the fact that the LOM hardware is Industrial Automaton's knockoff of Cybot Galactica's 3PO series, and the LOM series was discontinued due to legal suits from CG regarding its hardware. 4-LOM appears only in the film The Empire Strikes Back. He was unsuccessful in his search for the Falcon which was found by Boba Fett. There is some confusion as to which character is Zuckuss and which is his partner 4-LOM, due to their names being switched on their Kenner action figures. After the Battle of Hoth, Zuckuss and 4-LOM rescued the last transport, Bright Hope. They later decided to leave the Empire's service and join the Rebels, planning to start the New Republic's Bounty Hunter Guild. However, these plans were dashed when Boba Fett blew 4-LOM apart. Even though Zuckuss repaired his partner, 4-LOM never remembered the Rebels' ideals. From that point on, 4-LOM worked alone. A-3D0 A-3D0 is a multitalented service droid owned by Jedi Andur Sunrider. A-3D0 is a crack mechanic and copilot who witnessed his master's death at the hands of a criminal gang headed by Great Bogga the Hutt some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Called ThreeDee for short, the droid then aided Andur's wife, Nomi, as she reluctantly trained to learn the ways of the Jedi. AV-6R7 AV-6R7 was a supervisor droid during the construction of the second Death Star. He was deprived of arms for failing to keep track of a power droid, but appears to have been given replacement ones. AV-6R7 was working on the bridge of the Executor and was destroyed when Arvel Crynyd's A-Wing crashed through the outer hull. OOM-9 OOM-9 was a command battle droid in the Trade Federation army. He was in charge of the Naboo invasion force. He nearly defeated the Gungan Grand Army, but the destruction of the Droid Control Ship deactivated all battle droids, including OOM-9.
R4-P17 R4-P17 was the designation of the astromech droid attached to Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter.
R5-D4 R5-D4 was the name of the red robot that Luke Skywalker's Uncle Owen Lars originally intended to purchase instead of R2-D2. Within seconds of the purchase, R5-D4's motivator malfunctioned, and the otherwise shifty Jawas let Owen have R2-D2 instead. Although a minor incident, had R5-D4's motivator lasted even minutes longer, the entire Star Wars story would not have unfolded. Some say R5-D4, not wanting to split up the duo of R2-D2 and C-3PO, blew his own motivator. Some say R2-D2 himself had tampered with it. Most say the R5 series was poorly designed from the start. The truth may never be known, as R5-D4 is believed to have been destroyed along with the Jawa Sandcrawler. R5-D4 has a brief cameo in Attack of the Clones. WA-7 WA-7 is the name of a unicycled Waitress Droid in Dexter Jettster's Coruscant diner. She competes with the human waitress Hermione Bagwa.
