MR-T3[3] was an R-series astromech droid[2] manufactured by Industrial Automaton[1] that was in service to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.[2] In 19 BBY,[4] MR-T3 was present at the Republic Center for Military Operations[2] on the galactic capital planet of Coruscant,[5] alongside the protocol droid[2] R-A7.[6] As the two droids strolled down one of the base's hallways, Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano—who was attempting to escape the facility after having been framed for the murder of a prisoner there—ran down the hall toward the pair. Tano leapt over MR-T3, sending the astromech spinning and letting out a series of binary beeps, while R-A7 angrily shook its fist at the Jedi. MR-T3 had black and white plating, as well as a black sensor built into its conical frustum dome.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
MR-T3 appeared in "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much,"[2] the eighteenth episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' fifth season, which aired on February 16, 2013.[7] While not named in the episode itself, MR-T3 was identified in a piece of concept art by JP Balmet released as part of the accompanying Episode Guide on StarWars.com, in which it was also stated that MR-T3 was a retexture of the astromech droid M5-BZ,[3] who had appeared earlier in the season.[8]

Notes and references[edit | edit source]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded states that all R-series droids are manufactured by Industrial Automaton. As "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" depicts MR-T3 as an R-series droid, these characteristics must also apply to it.

- ↑ Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes "The Lawless" and "The Wrong Jedi" to 19 BBY. As the episode "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" is set between those two episodes according to Star Wars: The Clone Wars Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link), its events, including MR-T3's appearance, must have also taken place in 19 BBY.
