[edit] Biography

R1-G4 was an old-model astromech droid, whose owner was captured by an unkown group on Tatooine, possibly the sand people. The droid was abandoned on Tatooine, but later recovered by Jawas in Chief Nebit's tribe, who stowed R1-G4 aboard their sandcrawler, after incapacitating it. There it was rebuilt, to be sold to Tatooine colonists. R1-G4 was part of the line-up assembled at the Lars' homestead as a prospective purchase for Owen Lars. Lars eventually chose C-3PO and R2-D2, and R1-G4 was presumably captured or destroyed when the Desert Sands sandtrooper unit destroyed the sandcrawler while searching for those very droids.

R1's coldbox contained stolen transponder data.[1]
