R1-type shopkeeping drone

R1-type shopkeeping drones were a model of droid designed to work in retail. The Toydarian junk dealer Watto used a R1-type to manage the majority of his routine business operations on the planet Tatooine, and with the human slave Anakin Skywalker maintaining his machinery, the Toydarian was able to devote most of his time to gambling.

Behind the scenes
The R1-type shopkeeping drone was first mentioned in Ultimate Star Wars, a reference book released in 2015.
