EV-7G7

"Welcome to the 7-Gee Lounge, sir. I'm your host, EV-7G7. Would you like a drink?" "Thank you, but I don't drink." "Oh, that's quite alright, sir. We all make mistakes from time to time."

- EV-7G7 and Qui-Gon Jinn

EV-7G7 was a complaisant droid who served drinks to the patrons of 7-Gee Lounge at Mos Espa Arena in 32 BBY.

Biography
In 32 BBY EV-7G7 functioned as a barman in one of Mos Espa cantinas. To be precise he served the patrons of the 7-Gee Lounge. It was during the Boonta Eve podrace that he met a jedi Qui-Gon Jinn. The droid offered him a jury juice, but the jedi refused to drink. Instead he asked about the whereabouts of Watto. EV-7G7 could not help much in this issue, so the jedi had to ask other patrons. Eventually Qui-Gon Jinn returned and ordered two glasses of jury juice for Watto's flunkey and his friend Kreg.

Components
Unlike many other droids EV-7G7 had a moving platform instead of legs. Such a device helped him to move along the bar and serve beverages faster.

Behind the scenes
It is very likely that EV-7G7's phrase "We all make mistakes from time to time" is a tribute to the same phrase of C-3PO saying it in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.

In the Return of the Jedi there is a EV-9D9 who supervised the droids in Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine in 4 ABY, that is a complete antipode of EV-7G7. It is possible, that the creation of 7G7 is a tribute to the EV-9D9.
