Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"Whoops."
"Ah, perfect. For the most important state banquet of the season they send us waiter droids with malfunctioning digits."
―C-3PO talking to this droid[1]

This 'LEP servant droid' was stationed on Coruscant[1] in 21 BBY[2] during the Clone Wars.[1]

Biography

This droid worked for Senator Padmé Amidala when she held a party for Senator Aang and helped her set the main table. C-3PO briefly spoke with this droid when he bumped into it, calling it a droid with malfunctioning digits for dropping its tray.[1]

Behind the scenes

"I tried to think of something better than 'waiters with all thumbs' 'cause they don't have thumbs. Sticky digits, malfunctioning digits."
―Anthony Daniels, suggesting a dialogue change[3]

In the original script for "Evil Plans," C-3PO complains that the waiters only possess thumbs on their hands. However, C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels, as he was allowed to do due to his knowledge of C-3PO's character, disagreed with the line on the belief that droids lacked a finger that could be described as a thumb. Speaking with Supervising Director Dave Filoni, Daniels suggested amended forms of the line in "sticky digits" or "malfunctioning digits." Filoni quickly approved the latter suggestion, much to Daniels' delight.[3]
