1138 was a B1-series battle droid that served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as part of a droid army on the planet Geonosis. The B1's designation was written in Trade Federation Script on the back of their comlink booster pack.[1] In 22 BBY,[4] the B-series battle droid was among those deployed to the Petranaki Arena to combat a Jedi assault team that had infiltrated the arena to rescue three prisoners due for execution: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padmé Amidala.[1]
As fighting broke out on the floor of the arena, 1138 was firing at opposing Jedi while Mace Windu deflected a blaster shot into a OOM command battle droid.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
1138 first appeared in the 2002 film Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, the second installment of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. The droid's designation is written in Trade Federation Script, but can easily be deciphered even without a guide;[1] the numbers were officially identified in Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary, New Edition, which gave a translation for B1 numerals.[5]
