Species: Droid Height: .97 meter Manufacturer: Industrial Automaton Type: Astromech droid

The fate of the galaxy would be very different had R5-D4's motivator been more reliable. The red-trimmed cultivator astromech droid was almost purchased from Jawa traders by Owen Lars. When the battered little droid rolled away from the sales line, his motivator shorted out and he blew his stack. Rather than buy the worthless hunk of junk, Owen instead bought R2-D2. Artoo was reunited with his companion C-3PO, and the two would go on to become important heroes of the Rebel Alliance.
