Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, New Edition states that BB-series astromech droids are manufactured by Industrial Automaton and stand 0.67 meters tall. Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia states that all astromech droids are second class droids. As JB-9 is shown to be a BB-series astromech droid in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge — Droid Depot, these characteristics must apply to it as well.
