- "Where are your mother and father?"
"My mother and father aren't around anymore." - ―Yasaburō and Lop
A male individual was the father of Lop,[1] a member of a subspecies of Lepi.[2] Lop was eventually orphaned,[3] with her father and mother leaving her the droid TD-4, who looked after her as she grew up.[4] Between 19 BBY and 8 BBY,[5] by which time Lop had been enslaved by the Galactic Empire, she was brought away from her homeworld to the planet Tao. On Tao, she escaped the Empire and met the human girl Ochō and her father, Yasaburō. Yasaburō asked Lop where her mother and father were, and she told him they were no longer around. Yasaburō was then persuaded by Ochō to adopt Lop into their family, and he became her adoptive father.[1]
