BD units were companion droids designed to assist with operations in remote and dangerous locations across the galaxy; programmed to be the ideal assistant to researchers or explorers operating alone in the field, they were designed to traverse all types of terrain. As a result of their manufacturer collapsing, BD units were a relatively rare sight in the galaxy.
One such droid was BD-1, who accompanied Jedi MasterEno Cordova, and later the Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis in 14 BBY. Another BD unit was TA-418, who assisted DoctorEustacia Okka, former professor at the Shadow University institution, during the Imperial Era. Another BD unit was under the ownership of Peli Motto around 9 ABY.
We love BD droids! BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order quickly became one of our favorite droids in the galaxy, so we were thrilled to see another BD unit appear in the latest episode of The Book of Boba Fett. Here is everything there is to know about the little droids and why they are amazing!
