Spider probe droid

A model of probe droid was used by the First Order around the time of the attack on Tuanul. One of these probe droids was on a moon in a star system in the Unknown Regions when Resistance pilots Kazuda Xiono and Poe Dameron investigated the system.

Behind the scenes
"J.J. wanted this specific machine to drill into the catacombs when the Empire attacks Maz's castle. I wanted to put elements of the probe droid because that's such an exotic, threatening shape."

The First Order probe droid first appeared in the 2019 Star Wars Resistance episode "The Core Problem." A similar looking droid was drawn in concept art in for Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens by Doug Chiang.
