"Did the motivator get fixed?"
"No, but these guys won't know the difference."
"I'll finish up, you take their credits."

―L4-R6's stored memory of two Jawas on Tatooine^[3]

L4-R6 was an R-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automaton who functioned as a repair droid.^[1] In 0 BBY,^[4] L4-R6 was in the possession of a tribe of Jawas on Tatooine. The droid recorded a memory transcript of the Jawas' sandcrawler visiting^[1] the Lars homestead,^[5] which included two Jawas discussing how they planned to sell^[1] the astromech droid R5-D4^[2] despite the fact that its motivator had not been repaired. The droid also recorded an image of R5-D4 and the droid^[1] R2-D2^[2] standing outside the sandcrawler.^[1]

The Jawa tribe was slaughtered by Imperial stormtroopers soon after leaving the homestead,^[5] and L4-R6 eventually fell into the hands of the Droid Depot in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu. During the First Order occupation of Batuu^[2] in 34 ABY,^[6] a refurbished^[1] L4-R6 and several other droids were displayed behind railings on a plinth outside the depot. L4-R6 had blue and white plating and an R4 dome with a black sensor.^[2]
