GA-97

GA-97 was an unassuming servant droid aligned with the Resistance during their conflict with the First Order. Around thirty years after the Battle of Endor, it was present in the castle of the pirate Maz Kanata on the planet Takodana when the smuggler Han Solo entered with the scavenger Rey, the former stormtrooper Finn and the astromech droid BB-8. Recognizing BB-8 as the missing droid of Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, GA-97 contacted the Resistance via their intelligence network to inform them of the astromech's location. Based on the droid's report, Resistance forces were mobilized to travel to Takodana, but before they arrived the patron's of the castle were drawn outside by the destruction of the Hosnian system by the First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon. The castle was then destroyed in an attack by the First Order, who were soon confronted by the Resistance forces and driven off Takodana. GA-97 had a bipedal body, with a power plant in its chest and collapsible legs to allow for compact storage. It had black sensors and red, yellow and green plating.

Behind the scenes
GA-97 first appeared in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. The droid was not identified in the film, but received a name in Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released a day after the film.
