In November, Disney released a pretty swift astromech droid four-pack. On the back of the packaging, it gave collectors indication that all four characters would make an appearance in The Force Awakens. As with anything we're told, many of us were skeptical about this. After all, save for one R0-4LO, the rest either looked like or had names to droids we saw throughout the Star Wars saga. But the packaging was right. All four can be seen in Episode VII (mostly in Resistance scenes). After receiving, The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary a couple days ago, I discovered that so far half of these droids actually have different names. Perhaps their memory systems were wiped out somewhere within the Star Wars timeline and ultimately given new identifies. Click through to see a breakdown of what we just learned.



R0-4LO is still R0-4LO for the moment.

R2-Q2 is still R2-Q2 for the moment.

R4-M9 is now M9-G8.

R5-X3 is now RP-G0.
