Star Wars: The Black Series R5-D4, BD-72 and Pit Droids Summary
Star Warsfans may recognize some of the members of the newly announced droid quartet as the crew of Peli Motto, a Mos Eisley spaceport engineer whohelped Din Djarin and Grogu in the first season ofThe Mandalorian. Aside from the robots themselves, the upcoming bundle also comes with seven accessories: five repair tools and two jet thrusters that can be mounted on the R5-D4. The same astromech droid can also stash the remaining accessories on a rack located between its chassis and legs.
