Biography[]

CZ-3 in the streets ofMos Eisley.
After arriving onTatooine in a crash, CZ-3 lost his "twin brother"CZ-1, and eventually ended up in the employ ofJabba Desilijic Tiure, aHutt gangster. Jabba used the droid in a sting operation, exposing the dishonesty of one of his rivals,Opun Mcgrrrr. Using CZ-3 as bait, Jabba lured Opun into stealing the droid because he thought it contained sensitive information. CZ-3 recorded the entire operation with its surveillance equipment, transmitting it to Jabba and proving Opun's guilt.
Due to a malfunction, however, instead of returning toJabba's Palace, CZ-3 wandered the streets ofMos Eisley. Jabba sent his bounty hunterTakeel after CZ-3, while Mcgrrrr sent his henchmanTols Vengra with a similar goal.
CZ-3 was found and/or bought by theJawa traders, who discovered that it was being searched and sold it toHet Nkik's clan. CZ-3 managed to escape from thesandcrawler of that clan before it was attacked by Imperialsandtroopers.
CZ-3 was later found by the two thugs Takeel and Tols Vengra. While the two discussed the droid among themselves,Zutton, Takeel's brother, appeared and shot CZ-3, destroying the droid. The droid's parts were picked up by several local droid dealers, but in the end, it had provided Jabba with enough evidence to expose Mcgrrrr's plot.
