Chronological and political information

"R4, prepare to jettison spare part canisters."
―Obi-Wan Kenobi to R4-P17[6]

R4-P17, nicknamedR4, orArfour, was theastromech droid attached toObi-Wan Kenobi'sDelta-7Aethersprite-class starfighter and was often on board hisDelta-7BAethersprite-class starfighter andEta-2Actis-class light interceptor prior to and during theClone Wars.

History[]

"Arfour, be careful! You have a—"
―Obi-Wan Kenobi warns R4 just before her destruction[1]

The droid originally possessed theR4-series's trademark conical head dome but was involved in a messy incident while trying to repair a trash compactor onGyndine, resulting in thedroid being crushed.Anakin Skywalker, on a visit to the shipyards to inspect theJedi customization to the Delta-7, found R4's wreck and rebuilt her with anR2-series dome.[4] From that point on the communal property of theJedi Temple, R4 became the prototype for otherintegrated droid navigators in Jedi ships. As part of the Delta-7, the astromech had a truncated body, which was, after her destruction, permanently attached to the ship.

Prior to the Clone Wars, she helped Jedi MasterObi-Wan Kenobi to followJango Fett'sSlave I fromKamino toGeonosis. The fighter that she was in was recovered after or during the battle that took place later.

During theClone Wars, the Jedi began to transition away from the Delta-7. R4 was given a full astromech body, white, with red trim, to make her compatible with the new Delta-7BAethersprite-class interceptor and Eta-2Actis-class interceptor used byGeneral Kenobi. However, before she received her full body, Obi-Wan temporarily used a droid calledR4-G9.[2] After he switched back to R4-P17, Obi-Wan requisitioned a direct link between the two droids to ensure all flight performance records could be transferred between them.

R4 also journeyed toTatooine, to negotiate withJabba Desilijic Tiure and participated in theBattle of Teth. Later on in the war, she traveled toRodia to stop the bounty hunterCad Bane from kidnappingWee Dunn, and toMandalore when Kenobi was investigating rumors of theDuchessSatine Kryze creating an army for theConfederacy of Independent Systems.

R4-P17 later suffered extreme damage due to her dome being pulled apart by abuzz droid attack in theBattle of Coruscant while aboard Kenobi's Eta-2. The remains of the droid were lost when the rear half ofInvisible Hand was severed while Skywalker and Kenobi tried to land the damagedflagship.

Obi-Wan lamented the loss of R4-P17, as the droid had been a competent unit. He was soon after assignedR4-G9, who had served as his interim astromech during the later stages of the Clone Wars.

Behind the scenes[]

In the novelization ofAttack of the Clones, Boba and Jango Fett are able to recognize R4-P17 as an R4-P class droid. However, since the droid had the turret dome of an R2 unit, and since only her head was visible, the Fetts would not have been able to guess its true class.

In theRevenge of the Sith novel, R4-P17 is described as being partially crippled by a cannon shot from adroid fighter before her destruction, which in turn is not described in detail, other than the fact that Anakin Skywalker witnessed it.[5] Moreover, at some points in the actual movie R4-P17's body appears red with a white trim.[1]

InLEGO Star Wars: The Video Game andLEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, R4-P17 is a playable character. In this game, she accompaniesObi-Wan Kenobi intoTipoca City; this change was made to enable the two-player drop-in/ drop-out co-op functionality created for the game. However, R4-P17's dome in the game does not feature a mostly red color scheme; instead, it has a color scheme similar to that ofR2-M5. This essentially complies with the2002 Jedi Starfighter model, which features R4-P17 in this color.

In the Gameboy Advance version of the game, R4 also accompanies Kenobi to Utapau, even though, in the official canon, she was destroyed during the Battle of Coruscant and replaced by R4-G9. In order to ensure co-op mode, she helps Kenobi fight Grievous. This was most likely done to avoid confusion, as the game was primarily geared towards a younger audience.

InLEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, R4-P17's head is correctly colored, but the droid's body is entirely red.

George Lucas decided that R4-P17 was of feminine programming as she was primarily operated by female droid operatorZeynup "Zed" Selcuk.[4]
