Biography

8D8 in .

8D8 in Jabba's Palace.

8D8 was an 8D Smelter droid manufactured by Roche Hive Mechanical Apparatus Design and Construction Activity for Those Who Need the Hive's Machines.[1] Originally a starship maintenance[4] and heavy-labor industrial droid,[5] 8D8 was sold to[4] and enslaved[6] by the Hutt crime lord[7] Jabba Desilijic Tiure.[4] While in Jabba's employ, the smelter droid was lobotomized, reprogrammed and used to torture both droids and organics.[2]

8D8 worked at Cyborg Operations within Jabba's Palace[6] on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine[8] and was under the command[6] of the overseer droid EV-9D9.[2] The duties done by him within Cyborg Operations were menial and degrading.[9] While working at the palace, 8D8 developed a[10] secret[2] hatred for EV-9D9, despite being devoted to[8] her,[1] and for the J9 worker drone who worked in the palace,[10] BG-J38.[11]

Around 4 ABY, during the time that Rebels came to rescue Han Solo from Jabba, 8D8 was following EV-9D9's order by torturing a GNK power droid with a mechanical smelting device that featured a hot glowing iron.

Characteristics

The manic[12] 8D8 was sympathetic to the droids and aliens he was forced to torture.[4] He did not talk about his work about his work in the torture dungeons on Jabba's palace.[12] Though he was devoted to EV-9D9,[8] he hated her[10] and wanted to escape the unpleasant duties he did within Cyborg Operations.[13]
