R1-G4 was an R1-series astromech droid produced by Industrial Automaton prior to the Battle of Yavin.

[edit] Biography

R1-G4 was an old-model astromech droid that was refitted with the armored shell of a Mark II reactor drone by its owner, who was later captured. 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.
