Behind the scenesEdit

An identical droid, R4-D6, can be seen in the Yavin hangar, in the distant background as Luke Skywalker confronts Han Solo about his decision to leave the rebels without his assistance.

R4-I9 was made as an action figure by Hasbro in 2003, however, it was black instead of dark blue. In addition to this, an R4-D6 figure was made available from Hasbro in 2008 as a build-a-droid figure, where individual parts were packed in with various figures which, when assembled, would create the droid. This time around, the droid was properly painted blue.
