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 dome.
Description
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 set, 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 designed to look like an astromech droid's dome. 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 set 7283 Ultimate Space Battle from the Episode III: Revenge of the Sith subtheme. In this set, R4's head was given its own unique design - a red part with black, silver and white printing, and represented R4's appearances in the films more closely.
In the Video Games
R4-P17 has appeared in two video games to date- LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. In these games, R4 is identical in appearance to R4-D5, with the same head piece as R4's physical appearance in the 7143 Jedi Starfighter, and attached to white body and leg pieces. The body has silver, black and red printing on it, representing several doors and compartments typically found on astromech droids. In the game, R4 is able to open certain doors only accessible to astromech droids, and is able to jetpack across long distances.
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 as to function with compatibility for the new starfighter. R4-P17 was destroyed in the Battle of Coruscant in Obi-Wan's red Eta-2 by Buzz Droids.

Notes
- The head of R4-D5 appeared in the 2002 edition of Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter, but was referred to in the official description from LEGO as being R4-P17.
- In LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, R4 does not appear in the Episode III segment in Obi-Wan's fighter; rather, a copy of R2-D2 takes her place. This mistake was corrected in LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
- In the set 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.
- Although R4-P17 appeared in Episode II missions in the video games with a body, in the Star Wars universe, R4-P17 did not receive a body until after the events of Episode II.
