GTAW-74

Geetaw was a GTAW-74 welder droid with masculine programming that lived in Niima Outpost on the desert planet Jakku around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. As expert welding could turn a piece of salvage from unsaleable junk to a profitable find, he offered his services in Niima as a welder to scavengers in exchange for inert gas canisters, filler metals, good jokes, or a power recharge. He was equipped with a plasma arc welder torch, brown plating and a shielded faceplate.

Behind the scenes
Geetaw first appeared as a minor background character in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. He was not identified in the film, but was named by Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released the day after the film.
