The '''R1-series astromech droid''' was an older-model [[R-series]] [[astromech droid]] manufactured by [[Industrial Automaton]].

==Characteristics==
The R1-series was a model<ref name="AEYNTK" /> of [[Second class droid|second class]] [[astromech droid]]<ref name="Encyclopedia" /> that stood 1.94 [[meter]]s tall<ref name="AEYNTK" /> and moved about on a single [[Limb|foot]]. Known specimens had [[Color|black]] or light gray plating.<ref name="ANH" />

==History==
[[File:Wattos R1 unit.png|thumb|left|Watto's R1 unit stayed behind the counter.]]
The R1-series astromech [[droid]] was an older model<ref name="Force Collection">''[[Star Wars: Force Collection]]'' {{C|Card: R1-G4}}</ref> manufactured by [[Industrial Automaton]]<ref name="Rebels Visual Guide" /> as part of their [[R-series]] of astromech droids.<ref name="Encyclopedia" />

At the [[time]] of the [[Invasion of Naboo]], the [[Toydarian]] [[junk dealer]] [[Watto]] owned an R1 astromech, which [[Sexes|he]] kept behind the counter in his [[Watto's shop|shop]] situated in [[Mos Espa]], on the [[planet]] of [[Tatooine]].<ref name="TPM">[[Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace|''Star Wars'': Episode I ''The Phantom Menace'']]</ref> Said unit worked as a [[shopkeeping drone]], handling most of Watto's daily business operations.<ref name="Ultimate Star Wars">''[[Ultimate Star Wars]]''</ref>

Over thirty [[Standard year|years]] later, an R1 unit<ref name="ANH" /> designated [[R1-G4]]<ref name="Encyclopedia" /> fell into the hands of a group of diminutive [[Jawa]] [[scavenger]]s traveling in a [[sandcrawler]] on Tatooine. Those Jawas attempted to sell the astromech to the [[moisture farmer]] [[Owen Lars]] and his nephew [[Luke Skywalker]]. Lars, however, rejected the tall droid in favor of [[R2-D2|an]] [[R2 series astromech droid|R2 unit]] and [[C-3PO|a]] [[3PO unit|3PO]] [[protocol droid]]—both of which were in fact [[Alliance to Restore the Republic|Rebel Alliance]] droids trying to carry out a [[secret mission to Tatooine|secret mission]] at the behest of [[Prince]]ss [[Leia Organa]]. Around the same time, two other R1 units were known to be present in the Tatooinian [[spaceport]] of [[Mos Eisley]].<ref name="ANH" />

==Behind the scenes==
R1-series astromech droids were first seen in the [[1977]] movie [[Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|''Star Wars'': Episode IV ''A New Hope'']]. One is seen among the droids the Jawas attempt to sell to Owen Lars. Another appears in the streets of Mos Eisley, during the scene in which a [[ronto]] gets startled by a passing [[swoop]]. A third, gray-painted R1 unit appears in the background when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke are stopped and questioned by stormtroopers.<ref name="ANH" />
