Talking bomb
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The talking bomb was a small round talkative explosive device created by the Ugnaughts out of scraps containing audio parts that they saved from the disposal room on Cloud City.
The talking bomb was quite intelligent for such a small component and even had a dry sense of humor and a bit of attitude.
When the Empire took over Cloud City shortly after the Battle of Hoth, a talking bomb was left by revolting Ugnaughts to take out some of the Imperial forces.
Sgt. Vollot and his squad of bombtroopers were tricked by the talking bomb into detonating it, thus destroying themselves.
[edit] Behind the scenes
The talking bomb was created by David Michelinie, Walt Simonson and Tom Palmer.
It's likely that the talking bomb was influenced by the John Carpenter movie Dark Star.
