Biography[]
Theo was a Resistance pilot who lived during the New Republic era. He had a crush on the Resistance technician Peet Deretalia, which the BB-series astromech droid BB-8 took noticed. Unwilling to let other people know his feelings for Peet, Theo apologized and climbed aboard his T-70 X-wing starfighter. However, BB-8 noticed that Peet also had a crush on Theo and decided to bring them together.[1]
BB-8 sabotaged the ship's wire, prompting Theo to fix it back. BB-8 then removed a panel, preventing Theo from leaving. These engine problems caused Theo to cry out in frustration. Catching BB-8 in the act, he ordered the droid to leave the airfield. However, BB-8 was not deterred and sabotaged the fighter's motivator.[1]
Theo became frustrated and agitated, screaming aloud how the Resistance could keep going with "junk" like this. BB-8 then went to seek Peet's help. She crashed into Theo and the two lovers crossed eyes. After exchanging greetings, Peet apologized that BB-8 was being difficult. Theo responded that he was having issues with the droid as well.[1]
Peet offered to help him. Theo accepted her offer, telling Peet that he kept losing parts on his ship and thought that BB-8 was the culprit. Peet reassured Theo that the only problem was that his ship's motivator was disengaged. She offered to repair his ship for him. After repairing his motivator, Peet invited Theo for a meal at the mess hall, which he gratefully accepted. Before leaving for the mess hall with Theo, Peet pursed her lips towards BB-8, thanking the little droid for bringing them together.[1]
