Affiliation

R7-F5 was an Astromech droid dome that helped aboard Jedi Master Plo Koon's Delta-7B starfighter, Blade of Dorin. It had brown markings on its top, and was a veteran of numerous battles. Plo Koon refused to give it a memory wipe.

[edit] History

R7-F5 was Jedi Master Plo Koon's copilot for Blade of Dorin, his Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor during the Battle of the Kaliida Nebula. Before the battle, Plo Koon accompanied Anakin Skywalker, his Padawan Ahsoka Tano and Shadow Squadron through the Balmorra Run, in which they encountered Neebray mantas. Arriving near the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, the squadron engaged the Malevolence, and were able to damage its ion cannons, and when they were used, they exploded and further damaged the Separatist warship.

[edit] Behind the scenes

If R7-F5 is indeed an R7-series astromech droid, and not just an earlier model with an "R7" designation, his inclusion poses a continuity problem, as R7 units had not been created until after the Galactic Civil War. The same is also the case with Ahsoka Tano's astromech, R7-A7. It might also be that R7-F5 is a prototype R7 unit being tested with the Jedi Order.

Coincidentally enough, R7-F5 shares the "F5" with Plo Koon's other droid, R4-F5.

R7-F5 was incorrectly referred to "R7-D4" in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Official Episode Guide: Season 1.
