DUM-4/Legends

DUM-4 was a DUM-series pit droid produced by Serv-O-Droid at some point prior to the Battle of Naboo. DUM-4 was part of the droid pool maintained at the Mos Espa Grand Arena on Tatooine. DUM-4, along with his fellow pit droids, were put to work during the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace in 32 BBY. Prior to the race, DUM-4 was called upon to locate a power plug for Anakin Skywalker's Podracer, which the droid supplied just in time. After the race began, DUM-4 remained at the pit stop to help repair any damaged Podracers. However, while attempting to correct an engine failure on Ody Mandrell's Podracer, the little droid was sucked into the engine. He destroyed the entire engine, costing Mandrell the race, although DUM-4 survived the accident.

Behind the scenes

 * Star Wars Episode I: I Am a Droid states that "DUM-4" was a series of pit droids, not an individual unit.


 * It was stated by Jon Knowles on the Episode I DVD that Dum-4 and his two fellow pit droids were based in part on the Three Stooges and performed one of their antics when Ody was introduced before the race.


 * It has seems logical that the name DUM-4 comes from the word dumb, summarizing his antics with Mandrell's podracer. It might also be a pun on "done for," meaning inevitably doomed.
