E-3PO

E-3PO was a vulgar protocol droid stationed in Cloud City on Bespin. His job was to facilitate communications between the Empire and the Ugnaughts during the hunt for Luke Skywalker. He had secretly received advanced sentience programming on Mechis III as part of IG-88's planned droid revolution. This programming made him unusually surly and rude for a protocol droid, especially to other droids. When IG-88B arrived on Bespin to capture Han Solo and stop Boba Fett from getting the bounty on the smuggler, E-3PO acted as his informant.

E-3PO was the droid who uttered "E chu ta!" to C-3PO before he was shot by stormtroopers.
