Bender (droid)

A bender was a type of droid used in construction.

Along with extruders and shapers, benders made up part of the complement of droids used at Despayre to build the Death Star I.

Behind the scenes
Bender is also a character from the popular cartoon Futurama. Part of a junked droid strongly resembling Bender was seen in the Star Wars Tales comic, Junkheap Hero. Whether this is meant to be the canonical appearance of the Imperial bending unit is unclear.
