EG-5 Jedi Hunter droid

"You've got skill. But it takes more than fast servomotors and bad programming to kill a Jedi."

- Anakin Skywalker

The EG-5 Jedi Hunter droid was a deadly droid created by Count Dooku during the Clone Wars. Its sole purpose was to eliminate Jedi.

Overview


The droid appeared to be roughly humanoid in shape, with skeletal features similar to that of Grievous. Its helmeted head contained two red photoreceptors and its body was coated in red color. Its qualities included incredible speed, dexterity, and the ability to wield two lightsabers with perfect form.

History
As the Clone Wars raged on, General Anakin Skywalker was sent to destroy a droid factory controlled by the Separatists where he met and dueled this droid. After a fierce duel, Skywalker managed to slice into its shoulder, allowing him to unleash an onslaught of slashes before throwing it into an electrode, causing the droid to explode.
