DUM-4
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DUM-4 was a DUM-series pit droid produced by Serv-O-Droid at some point prior to the Battle of Naboo. DUM-4 was part of the droid pool maintained at the Mos Espa Grand Arena on Tatooine.
DUM-4, along with his fellow pit droids, were put to work during the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace in 32 BBY. Prior to the race, DUM-4 was called upon to locate a power plug for Anakin Skywalker's Podracer, which the droid supplied just in time. After the race began, DUM-4 remained at the pit stop to help repair any damaged Podracers. However, while attempting to correct an engine failure on Ody Mandrell's Podracer, the little droid was sucked into the engine. He destroyed the entire engine, costing Mandrell the race, although DUM-4 survived the accident, coming out of the engine, blackened and scorched, but laughing hysterically.
[edit] Behind the scenes
I Am a Droid and Anakin's Fate both indicate that DUM-4 was a series of pit droids, not an individual unit.
Jon Knowles stated in the Episode I DVD commentaries that DUM-4 and his two fellow pit droids were based in part on the Three Stooges.
