R1-J1 was an R1-series astromech droid[3] with green plating and a yellow trim.[2] It stood 1.94 meters tall and, like all R-series astromech droids, was manufactured by Industrial Automaton.[1] During the occupation of the planet Batuu by the First Order[2] in 34 ABY,[4] R1-J1 belonged to the Droid Depot in Black Spire Outpost on Batuu. The droid was stood behind railings on a plinth outside the front of the depot alongside fellow droids[2] B-R72, EG-01, L4-R6,[3] and C2-B9.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
R1-J1 appeared as a prop within the themed land Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge,[2] which opened to guests at Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2019.[6]

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Star Wars: R2-D2 Deluxe Book and Model Set states that all R1-series astromech droid are manufactured by Industrial Automaton. Futhermore, Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know states that R1-series astromech droid stand 1.94 meters tall. Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia states that all astromech droids are second class droids. As Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge depicts R1-J1 as being a R1-series astromech droid, it must also share these characteristics.
