- "That old thing? I built him when I was a kid. Been following me around for years now, despite what I have done to try and chase him off. [...] He helps me out with repairs. I outfitted him with a cutting laser and some other tools for delicate modifications. He is also good for singeing the pants of annoying techs."
- ―Bao-Dur[src]
Bao-Dur's remote was a droid remote that was built by the Zabrak when he was a child, it was programmed to follow Bao-Dur wherever he went. Bao-Dur upgraded it several times over the years, arming it with a laser that could both repair other droids (such as HK-47, G0-T0, and T3-M4) and damage enemies. G0-T0 developed an instant dislike of the Remote for unexplained reasons (possibly because he saw the Remote as being "inefficient" with its resources). When the Jedi Exile went to Malachor V, the Remote went in search of, and eventually found the Mass Shadow Generator, Bao-Dur's old invention from the last battle of the Mandalorian Wars, that had the power to destroy Malachor V. G0-T0, not wanting Malachor V to be destroyed, held the Remote hostage. However, HK-47 arrived with the HK-50's and destroyed G0-T0. Once the Exile killed Darth Traya, she sent the order to Remote to destroy the planet. They all escaped in the Ebon Hawk right before the planet pulled itself apart, but the remote was most likely destroyed in the process.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- "Can you build me one?"
"I would, but then I wouldn't be the only one with a floating sphere following him around, and I kind of like that." - ―The Jedi Exile and Bao-Dur[src]
Bao-Dur's remote's standoff with G0-T0 on Malachor V was supposed to have been longer, with them being interrupted by HK-47 and the HK-51s. Depending on the alignment of the Exile, HK would either have G0-T0 destroy himself or he would blast the remote. The ending where HK-47 and the HK-50's destroyed G0-T0 was later made canonical by The New Essential Guide to Droids.
