Remember when I said I was the last of the B1 battle droids? Well…that might not have been completely true. See, I’ve heard whispers of a heavily modified B1 battle droid rebuilt by a young boy on an Outer Rim planet called Akiva. Known as Mister Bones, the droid was supposedly altered to be more than a typical B1, thanks to his arm-mounted vibroblade, his telescoping eye, the skeletons of deceased animals that he adorned himself with…oh, and his insatiable bloodlust.

Fortunately for his young master, Bones was said to be exceptionally loyal. Unfortunately for everyone else, however, Bones was also said to be more than glad to do whatever it took–no matter how grisly–in order to protect the boy. Or, sometimes, just for fun.

I’ve heard that Mister Bones may have sacrificed his own life to save his master on the field of battle. If that’s true, perhaps there really was some good in this guy after all…somewhere beneath all the gratuitous violence…

Affectionately dubbed “Chopper” by his crewmates, this C1-series astromech served as a crucial member of the Spectres, a cell of rebels led by General Hera Syndulla. C1-10P proved his loyalty to his squad time and again, even when it went against his best interests and his better judgement…and he never let anyone forget about it.

Chopper was already well past him prime by the time the Galactic Civil War began, as evidenced by his rusty shell and crusty personality. Maybe that’s why he threw himself so completely into every mission his team went on: He knew it might very well be his last. (Of course, he ha shaken plenty of gears loose over the decades, so that could have been a factor, too…)

When I first met Chopper aboard Home One, we got off on the wrong foot. Of course, looking at his mismatched leg struts, I’m not sure C1-10P was ever really on the right foot anyway. (Oooh! That was a Class Two burn!)
