'''Choco''' was an [[R2-series astromech droid|R2 unit]] with a rounded body and only one center leg who was a prisoner of the [[Great Heep]] on the planet [[Biitu]]. The clumsy droid was the first to encounter [[R2-D2/Legends|R2-D2]] after he had been thrown, deactivated, into the Heep's [[Droid harem]]. Extending one of its hidden mechanical arms, the droid reactivated R2 and the two droids quickly became friends. However, the friendship suffered a setback after R2-D2 became infatuated with an egg shaped astromech droid named [[KT-10]] and began ignoring the spherical droid. Following the defeat of The Great Heep, the spherical droid joined forces with the other liberated astromechs to revive KT-10, who had been completely drained of power as a result of being fed to The Great Heep.<br />

==Behind the scenes==<br />
Choco first appeared in the ''[[Star Wars: Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO|Star Wars Droids]]'' TV special ''[[The Great Heep]]''. The droid is not named in the special, but was identified in [[A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (Second Edition)|''A Guide to the Star Wars Universe'', Second Edition]]. Both the second and [[A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (Third Edition)|third]] editions of ''[[A Guide to the Star Wars Universe]]'', the ''[[Star Wars Encyclopedia]]'' and ''[[The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia]]'' identify the droid as an R2 unit.<br />
<br />
Choco's overall design in the concept animation cels bore some similarities to [[BB-8]] from ''[[Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens]]''. The similarities were noted by Stefan Pfister on Star Wars Sourcebooks.<ref name="BB-8 and Choco similarities">{{FacebookCite|author=Star Wars Sourcebooks|dateposted=November 2, 2015|timeposted=14:30|description= Choco concept cels<br />
|quote=BB8 is that you? Nope, that is "Choco" from the Droids tv show. From a certain point of view designwise, Choko may tell BB8: "I am your father!" Droids did it all first after all! (Stefan)<br />
