General
R1-G4 ' was an R1-series astromech droid that was produced by Industrial Automaton at some point prior to the Battle of Yavin, It was one of the droids rounded up by Jawas when Stormtroopers arrived on Tatooine looking for the escaped droid R2-D2 and C-3P0.
The droid was abandoned on planet Tatooine, but later recovered by Jawas in Chief Nebit's tribe, who stowed R1-G4 aboard their sandcrawler, after incapacitating it. There it was rebuilt, to be sold to Tatooine colonists. R1-G4 was part of the line-up assembled at the Lars homestead as a prospective purchase for Owen Lars. Lars eventually chose C-3PO and R2-D2, and the Desert Sands sandtrooper unit destroyed the sandcrawler while searching for those very droids.
R1's cold box contained stolen transponder data.
It's first appearance was in Star Wars A New Hope. It can also be seen in the background of Watto's shop.
In 2004 an action figure of R1 was released.
You can find a great STL for this droid on Thingiverse by user Isotelus.
