CZ-4 was a CZ-series secretary/comm droid manufactured by Serv-O-Droid, Inc. and possessed by Jabba the Hutt.
Biography
CZ-4 came under the ownership of Jabba the Hutt, and was modified to work as a watchdog, warning his master of any sign of threat from within or without the palace walls. The stress of his job regularly left CZ-4 feeling strained, and at times when not needed by Jabba he would temporarily switch himself off. When C-3PO and R2-D2 were brought before Jabba's supervisor droid EV-9D9 inside the palace's droid workshop, CZ-4 was resting against a wall. As C-3PO was ushered out by a Gamorrean guard, he suddenly came face to face with the motionless, skeletal-looking CZ-4, and let out a startled wail. Later, when Luke Skywalker made his appearance before Jabba requesting that Han Solo be released, CZ-4 was back up in the palace throne room.[1]
Behind the scenes
The same droid prop used for CZ-3 in A New Hope was used for CZ-4 in Return of the Jedi.

Holocron continuity database questions on the StarWars.com Message Boards (September 26, 2007): "Yes, yes, and yes. As we saw with C-3PO in ESB, it doesn't really take that long to reassemble this type of droid no matter their state of disrepair." (original site is defunct)
