HistoryEdit

At the time of the Galactic Civil War, this diminutive individual worked with the Rebel Alliance. He or she was instructed by C-3PO to join the Jawa clan led by Wimateeka in order discover the secret location of the Imperial assassin droids factory on Tatooine. It was necessary to disable those droids before they could spread the terror on the desert planet.^[1]

The builder learnt the art of droid building aboard a sandcrawler, proving worthy of Wimateeka's approval. He or she put newly built droids through a series of tests and maneuvers in the wastes of Tatooine, preparing for the actual infiltration mission.^[1]

Eventually, the builder successfully created a droid that could fulfill the mission. The robot trespassed into the imperial factory and reprogrammed the assassin droids into dancing ones. Wimateeka was so proud of his recruit's work that he awarded them with an official droid builder certificate.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

The droid builder was the player character of the Star Wars: DroidWorks children-aimed game. The game never specifies the Rebel builder's name or gender, allowing the player to identify themselves with the character. Unlike other game characters—like Rookie One from Star Wars: Rebel Assault or Meetra Surik from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II—the Rebel builder has not been reused in later works, and thus was never given a proper canonical identity.

C-3PO comments how the young Rebel looks good as a Jawa,^[1] which hints this secret operative might have been a child at the time. This seems to be backed up by the droid builder's diminutive height.
