- "Gaahh! The mindless pit droids are running loose! They are released by Launchers like this one here."
- ―Watto
Launchers were devices that automatically decompressed and released DUM-series pit droids from their withdrawn mode.
Around 32 BBY, when junk dealer Watto purchased such a large amount of DUM-series pit droids that it threatened to overrun Mos Espa as their freighter arrived, he ostensibly used launchers to switch on the droids individually.
