WED-15-77

WED-15-77 was a WED Treadwell repair droid produced by Cybot Galactica, belonging to Owen Lars. The droid remained in service to the Lars for over twenty years, up until their deaths prior to the Battle of Yavin.

WED-15-77 was a recalcitrant yet hardworking droid that carried out a variety of tasks for the Lars family. It seemed to prefer working for Owen's wife, Beru, since she gave the droid simple, predictable jobs. WED-15-77 often helped Luke Skywalker repair moisture vaporators out in the desert, though on one occasion, the Treadwell suffered a final meltdown. Luke raced off to Tosche Station, leaving the smoking droid standing in the desert.

Behind the scenes
WED-15-77 was to have a larger role in A New Hope, in a scene where Luke Skywalker is repairing a moisture vaporator out in the desert. Here, the Treadwell suffers a meltdown, though the droid enjoyed a resurrection of sorts when it was recreated for an appearance in Attack of the Clones.
