MR-T3[3] was an R4 astromech droid[2] manufactured by Industrial Automaton[1] that was in service to the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars.[2] In 19 BBY,[4] MR-T3 was present at the Republic Center for Military Operations[2] on the galactic capital planet Coruscant,[5] alongside the protocol droid[2] R-A7.[6] As the two droids strolled down one of the base's hallways, Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano—who was attempting to escape the facility after having been framed for the murder of a prisoner there—ran down the hall toward the pair. Tano leapt over MR-T3, sending the astromech spinning and letting out a series of binary beeps, while R-A7 angrily shook its fist at the Jedi. MR-T3 had black and white plating, as well as a black sensor built into its conical frustum dome.[2]

Behind the scenes

MR-T3 first appeared, albeit unidentified, in "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much,"[2] the eighteenth episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars' fifth season, which aired on February 16, 2013.[7] The droid was later identified in a piece of concept art by JP Balmet released as part of the accompanying Episode Guide on StarWars.com, in which it was also stated that MR-T3 was a retexture of the astromech droid M5-BZ,[3] who had appeared earlier in the season.[8]
