Star Wars[edit]

The franchise, which began with the 1977 film Star Wars, features a variety of droids designed to perform specific functions.

Protocol droid[edit]

A protocol droid specializes in translation, etiquette and cultural customs, and is typically humanoid in appearance.[7] The most notable example is C-3PO, introduced in Star Wars and featured in all sequels and prequels.[8]4-LOM is a protocol droid turned bounty hunter who responds to Darth Vader's call to capture the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back (1980).[9][10]TC-14 is a droid with feminine programming that appears in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999),[11] and ME-8D9 is an 'ancient protocol droid of unknown manufacture' that resides and works as a translator at Maz Kanata’s castle on Takodana in the 2015 Star Wars: The Force Awakens.[12]

An astromech droid is one of a series of 'versatile utility robots generally used for the maintenance and repair of starships and related technology'.[13] These small droids usually possess 'a variety of tool-tipped appendages that are stowed in recessed compartments'.[13]R2-D2 is an astromech droid introduced in 1977's Star Wars and featured in all subsequent films.[14] The malfunctioning droid R5-D4 also makes a brief appearance in Star Wars.[15]U9-C4 is a timid droid sent on a mission with D-Squad, an all-droid special unit in Star Wars: The Clone Wars,[16]C1-10P is an oft-repaired, 'outmoded' astromech who is one of the Star Wars Rebels regular characters,[17] and BB-8 is the astromech droid of X-wing fighter pilot Poe Dameron in The Force Awakens.[18]

Battle droid[edit]

A battle droid is a class of military robot used as an easily controlled alternative to human soldiers, most notably seen in the Star Wars prequel trilogy of films and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series, in which 'B1' and 'B2' models are frequent antagonists. Due to their ubiquity, the terms 'B1' and 'battle droid' are used interchangeably; 'B2' models are also referred to as 'super' battle droids.[19][20]

The tall, thin B1 model resembles the Geonosian species, who designed the droids, and are known to 'suffer programming glitches that manifest as personality quirks.'[21] The droideka is a three-legged heavy infantry unit with twin blasters and the ability to generate a force shield and transform into a disk shape.[22] Multiple other types of specialized battle droids have been featured in the Star Wars fictional universe.[23]

Within the Star Wars Legends continuity, HK-47 is a humanoid soldier robot, designed as a violent killer, which first appeared in the 2003 video gameStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.[24]

Other droids[edit]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars has featured WAC-47, a 'pit droid' programmed as a pilot and sent on a mission with the all-droid special unit D-Squad,[25] and AZI-3, a medical droid serving the cloners of Kamino who helps uncover the secret of Order 66.[26] The 2015 young adult novel Moving Target: A Princess Leia Adventure by Cecil Castellucci and Jason Fry introduces the droid PZ-4CO, to whom Leia Organa dictates her memoirs.[27][28] PZ-4CO also appears in The Force Awakens (2015).[29] In the 2016 film Rogue One, K-2SO is an Imperial enforcer droid reprogrammed by the Rebel Alliance.[30]

Behind the scenes[edit]

Droids are performed using a variety of methods, including robotics, actors inside costumes (in one case, on stilts),[31] and computer animation.

Trademark[edit]

Lucasfilm registered 'droid' as a trademark in 1977.[3][4][6] The term 'Droid' has been used by Verizon Wireless under licence from Lucasfilm, for their line of smartphones based on the Android operating system. Motorola's late-2009 Google Android-based cell phone is called the Droid. This line of phone has been expanded to include other Android-based phones released under Verizon, including the HTC Droid Eris, the HTC Droid Incredible, Motorola Droid X, Motorola Droid 2, and Motorola Droid Pro.[32] The term was also used for the Lucasfilm projects EditDroid, a non-linear editing system, and SoundDroid, an early digital audio workstation.

The name 'Omnidroid' was used with permission of Lucasfilm for the 2004 Pixar movie, The Incredibles.[33]
