Dustbin Droid
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
This unidentified GNK power droid was present in Jabba's Palace around 4 ABY.
It squealed in pain as 8D8, under the command of its supervisor droid EV-9D9, lowered a hot glowing iron on the soles of its feet. Steam shot out from within the power droid, likely a defense mechanism to prevent potential damage to its plating.
Although no specific details are given about the droid's background, it is assumed that it was working, obviously unsuccessfully, as a server on Jabba's Sail Barge, since, when EV-9D9 assigns R2-D2 to the position, she points to the tortured GNK droid and states, "I think you'll fill in nicely."
[edit] Behind the scenes
This unnamed character was known as the "Dustbin Droid" during the production of Return of the Jedi.
In Star Wars: Battlefront II, in the Jabba's Palace level, the droid can be heard screaming.
