He was meant to be working around the homestead of Jyn's childhood home but only ever made a fleeting appearance on the streets of Jeddha just before the rebel attack on the tank. The original design featured a white and red barrel shaped body similar to an R unit flanked by tracks in triangular fairings and topped with a clear dome housing a sensor and other tech. More versions would reappear in Solo - a similar but darker version was being used by the Empire on the war-torn mud planet of Mimban (pic 4), whilst Dryden Vos had slick serving droid versions - PA-LT4 - aboard his yacht with the the dome replaced by a serving tray bearing delicacies for his guests (pic 5). On Kessel there were two other versions - T1M8-LT2 and P6B-LT2 - both with solid domes and surface eye-tech detail (pics 6 and 7). The names for these two droids pay homage to the two people who built them in Neal Scanlan’s creature shop - Tim Berry (T1M8) @timatronics and R2 builder Lee Towersey (LT) @leetowersey. Finally in pics 8 and 9, you can see another, much slicker interpretation of the design used in The Last Jedi. This was the ‘Step Droid’, who would glide up to arriving speeders outside the casino. A series of steps would slide out of his body allowing guests to descend from their vehicles." ([ghostarchive.org/archive/kpFVs backup link]) (screenshot)
