A standard model protocol droid with a not so standard history.
Owned by many master, this droid somehow escaped many of his scheduled
memory wipes and developed a rather frantic personality. Along with
his counterpart, R2-D2, he provides much of the comic relief for Star Wars.
Given the mission to deliver the Death Star plans to Obi-wan
Kenobi, he became the property of Luke Skywalker. In the process
he became an essential part of the Alliance. His abilities are often
neglected, however, because of his prissy attitude.

will help, I'll gladly donate them.
We'll be destroyed for sure. This is madness!
We're doomed!
