U-E

U-E was a yellow Model E, a nanny droid who ran a nursery on Kalarba along with his companions Q-E and 2-E.

Biography
At some point prior to the Galactic civil war, they were ordered by a townsperson named Vuldo to build illegal blasters, but the droids began to question his intentions after a while. Vuldo responded by shooting U-E with a blaster and apparently destroying him.

Q-E and 2-E then received help from C-3PO, R2-D2, and Nak Pitareeze and managed to expose Vuldo's scheme, and also save U-E since they had managed to salvage his cognitive theory unit and memory banks beforehand and thus, R2-D2 was able to install them on the body of a labor droid that had been constructed by Nak.

Behind the scenes
U-E made his first and only appearance in 1994's Star Wars Droids: The Kalarba Adventures 5, which was written by Ryder Windham and illustrated by Ian Gibson. The rest of the issues in the arc were written by Dan Thorsland, but he had insisted that Windham write the "babysitter droid" story before signing on to the project. Windham's inspirations for U-E, 2-E and Q-E were the Walt Disney characters, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. In creating them, Windham was attempting to impress Lucy Wilson, a Lucasfilm Ltd. employee.
