R4-P17 is a figure of an Astromech Droid from the LEGO Star Wars theme. In both appearances, this droid has only been released as a head.

Description

R4-P17

R4-P17 in Obi-Wan's red Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter.

R4-P17 first appeared in the Episode II: Attack of the Clones subtheme in the 7143 Jedi Starfighter, released in 2002. In this appearance, the droid used the same head piece as R4-D5- a white piece with silver, red and black printing on it designed to look like an astromech droid's. The headpiece was mounted onto the side of the Jedi Starfighter included in the set.

Three years later, R4 was released as a part of the 7283 Ultimate Space Battle from the Episode III: Revenge of the Sith line. In this set, R4's head was given its own unique design- this time, it was red a red part with black, silver and white printing, and represented R4's appearances in the films more closely.

Background

R4-P17 was Obi-Wan Kenobi's red astromech droid. R4 piloted Obi-Wan's Delta-7, Delta-7B and Eta-2 Jedi Starfighters. She was originally hard wired into Obi-Wan's Delta-7, however when Obi-Wan acquired his Delta-7B Starfighter, R4 received a standard astromech body so she was compatible with the new starfighter. R4-P17 was destroyed in the Battle of Coruscant in Obi-Wan's red Eta-2 by Buzz Droids.

Notes

  • In the upcoming 10215 Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter, a dome-shaped piece features printing to represent R4-P17's head dome. This piece is much larger than a standard Astromech Droid head, due to the scale that this UCS set is built on.
