RX-24/Legends

"Uh-oh—wrong way. Brakes! Brakes! Where are the brakes? Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

- RX-24

RX-24, nicknamed Rex, was the inexperienced pilot droid for the Endor Express, a StarSpeeder 3000 flight offered by the Star Tours travel agency.

Rex's first flight had an inauspicious beginning. When he took a wrong turn within the spaceport, Rex nearly crashed his StarSpeeder before even reaching open space. He quickly got his flight back on track, but came out of lightspeed too late, passing Endor and putting the StarSpeeder in a field of comets instead.

After surviving the comets, Rex unwittingly took his tour group into a restricted combat zone. There, the StarSpeeder was briefly caught in a Star Destroyer's tractor beam before joining Red Squadron in battle. After risking the lives of his passengers to help destroy a Death Star-like space station, Rex safely returned the StarSpeeder to the tour station.

Quotes

 * (on screen) "Welcome aboard! This is Captain Rex from the cockpit. I know this is probably your first flight, and it's mine, too. (chuckles) Well, it looks like we're going to have a smooth flight to the Endor, so I'll go ahead and open the cockpit shield."
 * (after passing Endor moon) "Artoo, we passed the Endor moon! (R2-D2 beeps) Now what's the matter? Comets? Comets!"
 * "I have a very bad feeling about this."
 * (after successfully piloting through a huge comet) "Well, you can relax now. Everything's under control, and, uh, we'll be on our way to the Endor moon without any further delay. (as the StarSpeeder gets caught in a Star Destroyer's tractor beam) Oh, no! We're caught in a tractor beam!"
 * (end of flight) "Sorry, folks! I'm sure to do better next time! It was my first flight, and I'm still getting used to my programming! (cockpit shield goes up, while Rex tries to get the attention of the passengers, only to be interrupted by C-3PO) Hey! HEY!"
