Memory diskettes were droid parts that functioned as the central processing area of a unit.[1] Such pieces of technology were similar to the droid brains and the verbobrains. Professor Cantebarius H. Broom, a deranged scientist, was known to deactivate droids by removing their memory diskettes.[1]
Behind the scenes
The memory diskettes were first mentioned in Troublesome Outing,[1] a Spanish story of undetermined canonicity that was published in 1986.[2] Abel G. Peña, who translated the story in English for the first time in 2013, referred to the use of the word "diskette" as a "quaint anachronism." In the 1980s, massive-memory cloud storage and flash drives were still inconceivable. But nowadays, diskettes look out of place in the futuristic Star Wars universe.[3]
