The First Order's Starkiller Base superweapon was patrolled by many units of a squat, white plated model of sentry droid around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. These droids possessed a square or circular head with several antennae protruding from the top, which sat on a body with four short legs ending in rolling casters that allowed the sentries to move easily through the base interiors. Sentry droids also patrolled the corridors of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer Finalizer.[1]
Behind the scenes
The First Order's sentry droids first appeared in the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, which was released in 2015. They were not named in the film, but were identified as sentry droids in the reference book Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and released in conjunction with the film.
