QT-3PO was a 3PO-series protocol droid. He and his master were present in Mos Eisley spaceport for repairs to their freighter when QT-3PO wandered off to examine the local scenery. He was accosted by several Jawas armed with ionization blasters, who forced him aboard their sandcrawler. There, he observed Jawa society and the sandcrawler's technology.^[1]

This sandcrawler happened to be that of Nebit's tribe, the same one that later captured C-3PO and R2-D2. However, by this point QT-3PO had been extensively damaged.^[2] Fortunately for QT-3PO, he was discovered and purchased back by his master, who paid the Jawa's asking price. He was later asked to report on his experience with the Jawas.^[1]
