80-HD was a protocol droid who was malfunctioning[1] at some point by the time of the reign of the Galactic Empire.[2]

Behind the scenes

As revealed on April 28, 2017 in a Twitter post by composer Jesse Harlin, 80-HD would have been featured in the LucasArts video game Star Wars: 1313,[1] which was announced in June 2012[3] and later cancelled on April 3, 2013.[4] Harlin, replying to a post of fan art depicting a 3PO-series protocol droid wearing clothing, stated that 80-HD "probably looked like [that]" and also revealed that they had been writing hip-hop for him.[1] 80-HD is the name of a fictional rapper, portrayed by C. J. Nord, in previous LucasArts titles Thrillville and Thrillville: Off the Rails. The soundtracks to both were composed by Harlin and David W. Collins, who also wrote all of the games' original songs.[5][6]
