Very last minute, I know! But I really wanted to come up with something for this latest challenge, having missed the last two.
So here’s my entry – a mongrel droid named “Junkpileâ€, thrown together out of parts found in the Ugnaught’s trash chamber. Who built him? Why did they build him? When was he made?
The truth is, no-one on Cloud City knows where or when he came from, simply that he’s been a resident of the city lower levels for longer than anyone can remember. He runs a small freighter, bringing in all kinds of goods to the city - some legal, and some not!
I had this idea that he may have been built from spare parts long ago by a dying smuggler, who had his brain implanted into the protocol droid head, and now lives on inside a cybernetic body – hence the reason why he wears clothes. There’s something zombie-like about him, with his frayed and torn trousers, and bits and pieces hanging off all over the place. I thought of Han’s comment “You found him in a junkpile?†and decided that that would be an appropriate name.
Anyway, the word is that he’s got a great sense of humour, and is also pretty good in a firefight. Hope you like him!
