U-3PO and R2-D4

Available in widely varying designs, mechanical beings known as droids provided specialized services to beings throughout the Galactic Empire. The humanoid protocol droid U-3PO served aboard Princess Leia’s consular ship Tantive IV when it was intercepted and boarded by Imperial forces above Tatooine. On the planet below, the astromech droid R5-D4 might have worked on Owen Lars’ moisture farm had it not malfunctioned as it was being purchased from Jawa traders.
