Unidentified droidsmith

The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A droidsmith^[2] and scholar^[3] was the builder^[2] and master of the droid D-O.^[3] By 21 ABY,^[1] the scholar was present on Primus Cabru, where they were killed by the Sith assassin Ochi when he raided a library there. After witnessing the death of his master, D-O begged the assassin for his electronic life, and Ochi decided to keep D-O.^[3]

Behind the scenes[]

The droidsmith was first mentioned, albeit indirectly, in the 2019 activity book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Book and Magnetic Playset^[4] written by Sally Little.^[5] D-O's droidsmith was incorrectly identified as Babu Frik in the reference book Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition.^[6]

The film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker revealed that Frik and D-O were in fact unacquainted^[7] and the reference book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary by Pablo Hidalgo, established that the droidsmith was killed by Ochi prior to the events of the film, further cementing that they were a separate individual from Frik.^[2]
