Sith Probe Droids are Star Wars droid figures that were introduced in 1999.

Description[]

Dark Grey antenna

The original variant comprised of two pieces: a Black minifigure head and a piece normally used as a joystick. While more to scale then the redesign, this version lacked details such as the photoreceptor, or eye, of the droid.

Black antenna

This variant differs from the first only because of its antenna, which is black.

2012 redesign

The 2012 redesign is larger than the other variants and is made up of more parts. It consists of a center brick with two dome-like pieces on either side and a transparent light blue stud as the photoreceptor in the middle. An antenna, made with a joystick piece, is located on the right side.

Background[]

The DRK-1 Dark Eye Probe Droid was a type of Probe Droid that was used to locate certain people or objects or to stake out locations. They were plated in a special armour that baffled most security scanners and could therefore move about nearly undetected. Predominantly used as a spy droid that would report back to the user, they could be outfitted with light blasters, mini grenade launchers and poison darts. This gave them a means of defense should they come under attack. Probe droids had three imaging sensors and one audio recorder. The antenna allowed it to relay data back to the programmed source.

Darth Maul had at least three of these aboard his Sith Infiltrator, which he used to locate Qui-Gon Jinn and Padmé Amidala on Tatooine.

Notes[]

  • Sith Probe Droids are easily confused with Imperial Probe Droids, due to their similar name and appearance.
