IG-11 is a Star Wars Droid Minifigure released in 2020.

Description[]

Being an Assassin Droid, IG-11 is very similar to IG-88, using exactly the same parts: regular droid body in Dark Stone Grey, and the head divided in three parts, the upper one being printed. The only difference is that IG-11 has slightly different prints compared to IG-88, most notably being tiny red "eye" sensors while IG-88 has bigger orange sensors.

Parts[]

Background[]

Built as an assassin droid, IG-11 ended up as a member of the Bounty Hunters Guild after the rise of the New Republic. Like many guild members, he would be dispatched after Grogu, though his orders would be to terminate the child rather than bringing him back to the Imperial Remnant client. He joined forces with Din Djarin to defeat the mercenaries who had Grogu in their custody, before seeking to terminate his target. However, Djarin-no lover of droids and unwilling to see the infant killed-shot IG-11 in the head.

IG-11 was recovered and repaired by Kuiil, an Ugnaught living on the planet where Grogu had been found. Due to the damage he sustained, he had to be reeducated, and Kuiil helped him learn to become more than a mere killing machine. After Din Djarin came to Kuiil for help, IG-11 received programming as a caregiver and was tasked in part with helping keep Grogu safe as Djarin and his allies were on Nevarro. He would later rescue an abducted Grogu from a pair of Scout Troopers before riding into town with him on a speeder bike, attacking the Imperials while striving to protect Grogu from both physical danger and the sights of violence around him.

Reuniting with Din Djarin, Greef Karga, and Cara Dune, IG-11 continued to protect Grogu as they sought to escape Moff Gideon's forces. When Djarin was badly injured and sent the others on ahead, IG-11 stayed behind to provide medical care. Djarin protested, as receiving the attention he needed would require removing his helmet, something that went against his creed as a Mandalorian. However, IG-11 pointed out that Djarin was forbidden to remove his helmet in the presence of another living being, something that IG-11 technically was not, and removed the helmet in order to apply a bacta spray.

In order to save his comrades, IG-11 then reactivated his built-in self-destruct protocol, engineered as a means of preventing him from being captured. Despite Djarin's protests, IG-11 walked out into the midst of a group of Stormtroopers and set off a thermal detonator built into his chest, killing the troopers and apparently destroying himself.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

A number of IG-11's components were salvaged after his sacrifice and incorporated into a statue in his honor on Nevarro, built after Greef Karga helped the planet become more civilized and hospitable. Djarin and Grogu would return to Nevarro in hopes of rebuilding him, wishing for a droid to assist them in exploring the surface of Mandalore. An attempt to reactivate IG-11 resulted in his assassin droid programming resurfacing, and he targeted Grogu again before being shut down. The local Anzellan droid smiths were unable to complete his repairs due to lacking a necessary memory circuit, which Djarin set out to acquire.

The Anzellans eventually converted IG-11 into "IG-12", essentially a robotic vehicle that a being their size-or Grogu's-could operate. IG-12 became Grogu's primary means of travel after he and Djarin returned to the planet in company with a number of other Mandalorians, and he continued to pilot it during the Mandalorians' efforts to reclaim Mandalore. Grogu would notably use it to break up a fight between Paz Vizsla and Axe Woves, and later to help rescue Djarin from a pair of Imperial Commandos. Later still, he would come to Djarin's aid as he was attacked by a trio of Praetorian Guards, who damaged IG-12 so much that Grogu was forced to abandon it.

Djarin apparently salvaged IG-12's remains and later brought them-along with the head of another IG-series droid-back to Nevarro. There, the Anzellans were able to restore IG-11 to full functionality, and he was gifted to the inhabitants of Nevarro to serve as their new marshal.

Spoilers end here.
