R4-E1/Legends
R4-E1 (pronounced Arfour-Eeone) was a vehicle computer-operation droid in a standard casing of the R4-series astromech droid.[1]
Biography
R4-E1 was capable of repairing and piloting numerous vehicles. R4-E1 developed a rambunctious, fiercely independent personality. He was the companion of the spacer, smuggler and outlaw tech, BoShek.[2]
In 0 BBY, R4-E1 was passing by Mos Eisley's Spaceport Speeders when Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi sold Skywalker's X-34 landspeeder to help pay Han Solo for passage to Alderaan.[3][4]
Behind the scenes
In early 2006, Hasbro released an action figure of this droid.[5] This was due to the involvement of Adam Pawlus who, after unintentionally pushing for the release of BoShek, thought putting the droid into production would be funny.[source?]
