R0 - GR R0 - GR , or " Roger , " was a B1 battle droid who served the Freemakers , a human family of scavenger s that traveled throughout the galaxy . He was a veteran of the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars , and was programmed to serve as Rowan Freemaker ' s best friend . He had a mismatched torso and right arm . While sarcastic and pessimistic at times , Roger had a deep sense of loyalty and love for the Freemakers , whom he regarded as his family . He and his family lived at the starship repair garage Freemaker Salvage and Repair on the Wheel space station in the Abrion system . Due to his close relationship with the Freemakers , Roger became involved in Rowan ' s quest to find the pieces of the Kyber Saber , a powerful lightsaber capable of destroying the galaxy . Roger accompanied Rowan and his siblings on numerous adventures throughout the galaxy to obtain scrap to raise funds for the Freemaker ' s business and to find the Kyber Saber crystals . Roger ' s travels led him to travel to numerous worlds and locales including Nal Kapok , the Balgaroth asteroid field , Cloud City , Kashyyyk , Felucia , Tatooine , Takodana , Naboo , Zoh , Hoth , and Coruscant . Roger ' s clumsiness and absent - mindedness led him to make several mistakes including letting the Sith agent Naare and the Hutt crime lord Graballa track them down through his transmission pack . Despite experiencing the occasional ups and downs in his relationship with his human masters , Roger remained thoroughly loyal to the Freemakers out of familial affinity . When presented by the rogue droid N - 3RO with the opportunity to rebel against the Freemakers , Roger reaffirmed his loyalty and love for them and helped them escape the planet Zoh . Using his memories of the Clone Wars , Roger helped trained Rowan to fight Naare . Working as a family , the Freemakers managed to steal the Kyber Saber from Naare and the Galactic Empire and destroy the weapon . They then joined the Rebel Alliance . Biography . Origins . Roger was a B1 battle droid who was manufactured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars . He and his fellow battle droids saw action against the Jedi Master s Obi - Wan Kenobi , Mace Windu , and the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker during the Battle of Geonosis . During the battle , he was cut into six pieces by Mace Windu ' s lightsaber . He also saw action during the Battle of Kashyyyk and later recalled that the Wookiee s had a reputation for pulling out arms . Roger later recounted his life story in a memoir called " " . Due to his Clone Wars experiences , he developed a fear of Jedi . He also fought action during the Battle of Nal Kapok . Following the Clone Wars , Roger came into the service of a human family of scavenger s called the Freemakers , which consisted of big brother Zander Freemaker , middle sister Kordi Freemaker , and the youngest brother Rowan Freemaker . He was programmed to serve as Rowan ' s best friend . Roger lived and worked at the garage Freemaker Salvage and Repair in a space station called The Wheel in the Abrion system . He also served as the Freemakers ' butler . Adventures on Nal Kapok . While the Freemakers were out on a scavenging trip during the Galactic Civil War , Roger stayed at home to bake some sweet - sand cookies . After the Freemakers arrived home , Roger greeted them . Due Kordi ' s inability to pay their rent to the landlord Furlac and Rowan accidentally destroying a cobbled starship , the Freemakers traveled to the jungle world of Nal Kapok to collect more salvage . Nal Kapok had been a battlefield during the Clone Wars and was still littered with military wreckage . While Zander and Kordi went out to search for salvage , Roger and Rowan stayed behind aboard the Freemaker starship , " StarScavenger " . Against Zander and Kordi ' s instructions , Rowan convinced Roger to sneak out with him into the ship . Unknown to Roger and the other Freemakers , Rowan was Force - sensitive ( or a Jedi ) and was drawn to a kyber crystal in an underground cave . The two fell down into a hole and found themselves in an underground lake where they were ambushed by a dianoga . Before the dianoga could finish them off , they were saved by a lightsaber wielding woman named Naare , who claimed to be one of the last Jedi Roger was alarmed by Naare and tried to run away . The woman told Rowan that he had found the hilt of the Kyber Saber , an ancient weapon created by the Jedi Master Baird Kantoo before the formation of the Old Republic . Since the blade was capable of destroying an entire planet , Baird had shattered the Kyber Saber and ordered his disciples to hide it . When Rowan expressed boredom , Roger explained that the boy had a short attention span . After learning that the boy could sense the kyber crystals , Naare won Rowan ' s trust by offering to train him in the ways of the Jedi . She convinced him that finding the various crystals would allow them to reforge the Kyber Saber and use it against the Galactic Empire . After gaining Rowan and Roger ' s trust , Naare traveled with the Freemakers back to The Wheel . Unknown to Roger and the others , she was an undercover Sith acolyte in the service of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader . Trouble with Graballa . While Kordi argued with Naare about Rowan ' s involvement in the quest for the Kyber Saber , Rowan tricked Roger into sneaking off with him in one of Zander ' s Z - wing ships to the Balgaroth asteroid field . Through the Force , Rowan sensed that the second Kyber Saber crystal was inside a mining complex owned by Graballa the Hutt , a cousin of Jabba . Roger and Rowan navigated their way through the factory . Eventually , Rowan found the kyber crystal locked in a rock over a vat of lava . Before Rowan could fall into the lava , Roger arrived with a mining he had befriended and rescued the boy . Before the two could sneak out of the mining facility , they were caught by two of Graballa ' s Iktotchi henchmen Baash and Raam . Rowan managed to hide his identity by posing as an Ugnaught bounty hunter . Roger reluctantly agreed to help Rowan perpetuate the ruse that he was a bounty hunter . The two were brought in Graballa ' s starship " Rancor ' s Fist " . After Baash and Raam told Graballa about the supposed strength of the Ugnaught bounty hunter , Rowan was forced to fight Graballa ' s bounty hunter Dengar . Dengar proved to be more than a match for Rowan and defeated him in combat . During the brief melee , Dengar used an unwilling Roger as an improvised stick . Rowan lost his Ugnaught helmet and was quickly exposed in the presence of Graballa and his entourage . After finding the boy ' s kyber crystal , Graballa decided to keep it for himself since he was raising funds to build a beachside resort and cafe . Graballa then ordered that Rowan and Roger be fed to his pet nexu Smiley , who could chew through metal parts . Before the sentence could be carried out , Kordi and Zander arrived and distracted Graballa by offering to sell him a hastily cobbled - up Z - wing . While the negotiations were taking place , Naare cut Roger and Rowan free and attempted to sneak away . However , they were spotted by Graballa . Roger and the others were forced to flee in the tiny Z - wing . Due to the lack of space in the cockpit , Roger clung to the fin of the starship as it crashed through Graballa ' s throne room . This created a hole that sucked out the kyber crystal . Despite being pursued by Graballa ' s starfighters and Dengar , Roger and the Freemakers managed to escape due to Naare using the Force to clear a path through the asteroid field . Roger was later present with the other Freemakers aboard the " StarScavenger " when Rowan found the second kyber crystal in the middle of the asteroid field . Running the Freemaker Garage . Later , the Freemakers received a job from Wick Cooper to service his vintage N - 1 starfighter . Knowing Zander ' s passion for starships and racing , Kordi had ordered Roger and Rowan not to let Zander anywhere the starfighter . Despite their best efforts , Zander noticed the N - 1 starfighter and took it for a joyride . To save face , the Freemakers and Roger pretended to repair the N - 1 starfighter while waiting for Zander to return . After Zander was captured by the Imperial Star Destroyer " Vendetta " , Kordi assigned Roger to look after the Freemaker Garage while she , Rowan , and Naare rescued Zander . While waiting with Wick , Roger regaled the man by reading aloud his Clone Wars autobiography " " . Despite Cooper ' s evident boredom and exasperation , Roger continued reading up to the passage of his battle with the Wookiees on Kashyyyk . Roger attempted to serve Cooper by offering him a cup of motor oil . However , Cooper found the taste repellent and bitter . By the time that Roger had reached the twenty - sixth chapter , an exasperated Cooper had enough and told him to shut up before demanding to see his ship . Roger was present when the Freemakers and Naare returned with Cooper ' s wrecked N - 1 starfighter . Following the Freemakers ' adventure with Cooper ' s N - 1 starfighter , the Freemakers experienced financial difficulties . When Kordi toyed with the idea of selling off Roger , the battle droid gasped in response . When the Freemakers accepted a job from Lando Calrissian , the former Baron Administrator of Cloud City , to collect a " lost treasure " from Cloud City , Kordi tasked Roger with looking after the Freemaker Garage and gave him instructions not to tell anyone where he was going . Despite obeying his master ' s orders , Naare managed to coax the information out of Roger . The droid was present when the Freemakers and Naare returned with Calrissian ' s " lost treasure " ; which turned out to be his cape which had been left behind during his escape from Bespin . Mission to Kashyyyk . Roger later reluctantly accompanied the other Freemakers on a trip to the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk to harvest a piece of Wroshyr wood for Ignacio Wortan . As a battle droid , Roger had lost many comrades on Kashyyyk and feared the Wookiees for their penchant of ripping out arms . While Rowan could speak the Wookiee language Shyriiwook , Kordi installed a translating chip into Roger in an attempt to save money after being unable to afford a translator droid . After landing on Kashyyyk , Roger and his companions encountered a group of Wookiees including Chief Attabura . Despite his attempts to translate , Attabura ripped off Roger ' s head . However , Rowan managed to prevent further hostilities by revealing that they had come to obtain Wroshyr wood . Attabura agreed to give the Freemakers the wood on the condition that they rescued his son Tantarra , who was being imprisoned by the Trandoshan s on an island fortress . When Zander and Kordi expressed a reluctance , Roger and Rowan explained that it was considered dishonorable in Wookiee culture to break a deal . After having his head reattached to his body , Roger stayed behind to guard the " StarScavenger " while the others traveled to the island fortress to rescue Tantarra . After rescuing Tantarra , Zander and Kordi arranged for Rowan to fly the " StarScavenger " and pick them up from the top of the fortress . Roger was forced to retreat when Rowan embarked on a quest to find the third Kyber Saber crystal within the fortress complex . Shortly later , Wookiee Auzituck anti - slaver gunship s launched an attack on the fortress and a full scale battle broke out between the Wookiees and the Trandoshans . Roger flew the ship to a glaze where he was later joined by Rowan and Zander . The Freemakers were soon cornered by the Imperial officer s Durpin and Plumestriker but Kordi knocked them out at the expense of damaging the Wroshyr wood frame . As a result , Ignacio called the deal off . Adventure on Felucia . Following their adventure on Kashyyyk , Roger and the Freemakers were visited by the rebels Luke Skywalker and Prince ss Leia Organa , whose Y - wing had overheated following an encounter with TIE fighters . While Kordi and Zander fraternized with Leia , Roger accidentally embarked on another unintended adventure with Rowan and Luke when he accidentally sent the " StarScavenger " into hyperspace . Luke managed to deactivate the ship ' s hyperdrive moments before it collided with the jungle world of Felucia . The " StarScavenger " crash - landed on Felucia and the ship ' s hyperdrive generator was separated and ended up in a pit that was home to an acklay . While Rowan bonded with the Jedi Luke , Roger was swallowed and spat out by giant fly traps on several occasions . When nightfall came , the three attempted to recover the hyperdrive generator but awoke the acklay . Rowan managed to avert disaster by using his Force powers to summon flowers to lure the acklay away from its nest . This allowed Roger to recover the hyperdrive generator and reattach it to the " StarScavenger " . After repairing their ship , Roger , Rowan , and Skywalker were able to return to The Wheel . Luke and Leia then departed on one of Zander ' s Z - wings since their Y - wing had been destroyed as part of a ruse to convince the Empire that the rebel fugitives were dead . Trap on Tatooine . After a flower that Rowan had obtained on Felucia withered in Naare ' s hands , Rowan came to suspect that something was sinister about Naare . Rowan tried to confide with Roger only to find that the droid had been switched off . Later , Roger and the other Freemakers traveled to the desert world of Tatooine where Zander had obtained a job offer from the podracer pilot Ben Quadinaros . However , this job offer turned out to be a ruse by Graballa and his henchmen to trap the Freemakers . Before Graballa could deal with the Freemakers , he was distracted by Jabba and Boba Fett . The Freemakers escaped on Quadinaros ' podracer and took part in the 29th Annual Bricklayers ' Classic race . During the race , Roger and the Freemakers were pursued by Graballa ' s bounty hunters Dengar , Baash , and Raam . However , they managed to elude their pursuers and also won the race . Pursued by Graballa and his henchmen , the Freemakers fled to the Dune Sea where they crashlanded their podracer . The Freemakers then hid inside a derelict sandcrawler where they took up defensive positions against Graballa ' s forces . Unable to return to the " StarScavenger " , Kordi and Zander decided to call Naare for help . During the resulting skirmish , the Freemakers managed to hold off Graballa ' s forces with a box of thermal detonator s . When their supply of ammunition began to dwindle , Naare arrived in the Eclipse Fighter and proceeded to fight off Dengar and the other henchmen . During the ensuing melee , Roger , Kordi , and Zander were separated from Rowan and captured by Graballa ' s henchmen . After hiding Rowan in her fighter , Naare drove off the gangsters and rescued Roger and the other Freemakers . The Freemakers and Naare then traveled back to the Freemaker Garage on The Wheel . Escape to Takodana . After returning to the Freemaker Garage , Rowan informed his sibilings and Roger about Naare ' s true identity as a Sith . In response , the Freemakers made preparations to flee The Wheel . When Naare came knocking on their door , Roger tried to delay her by claiming the Freemakers were sleeping . However , Naare was not fooled and she cut through their door with her lightsaber . Following a brief struggle , the Freemakers managed to flee on the " StarScavenger " into space . Naare pursued the " StarScavenger " in her Eclipse Fighter but the Freemakers managed to evade her and escape into hyperspace . Once in hyperspace , Roger overloaded his processors upon learning from Zander that battle droids were the villains of the Clone Wars . With the " StarScavenger " quantum field regulator damaged , the Freemakers were forced to land at Maz Kanata ' s castle on the planet Takodana . After Zander accidentally scratched the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka ' s ship , the Freemakers agreed to pay for the damage by traveling to the third moon of Takodana on the Mini Scavenger to retrieve three golden orbs . On the third moon , the Freemakers discovered that the golden orbs were stored in a deep hole in the middle of a field inhabited by varactyl s . That night , the Freemakers attempted to steal the golden orbs by flying their scavenger vessel over the pit . Roger was lowered down a rope into the cave and managed to obtain the orbs . However , he grabbed more than three orbs and lost his grip , scattering them over the field . This created a commotion that stirred the sleeping varactyls who attacked Roger , Kordi , and Zander . The varactyls ripped Roger apart and proceeded to attack the scavenger vessel . Rowan managed to save Roger and his siblings by using the Force to communicate with the varactyls . Upon realizing the golden orbs were varactyl eggs , Rowan apologized to the creatures and convinced them to release Roger and his family . After escaping the varactyls , Zander repaired Roger who complimented the former by offering to pat him on the back . The Freemakers then returned to Maz Kanata ' s castle to confront Hondo . Hondo and his henchmen tried to hurt the Freemakers but were driven off by Maz Kanata . Maz then rewarded the Freemakers by gifting them a new regulator and the fourth Kyber Saber crystal , which she had found on Rodia . Race for the Kyber Saber crystals . Before the Freemakers could leave Takodana with their newly acquired Kyber Saber crystal , they were attacked by Naare and Graballa ' s warship " Rancor ' s Fist " . Naare had forged a deal with Graballa and promptly stole Rowan ' s Kyber crystal before fleeing in her Eclipse Fighter . The Freemakers gave chase but were outgunned by Graballa ' s warship . The Freemakers then traveled to the watery planet of Ningoth where they resolved to prevent the remaining Kyber crystals from falling into Naare ' s hands . Since Roger ' s metal body was vulnerable to rust , Roger stayed aboard the " StarScavenger " while the other Freemakers searched Ningoth ' s oceans for the fifth Kyber crystal in the Bubbly Snubbly . The Freemakers managed to find the fifth crystal and signalled for Roger to pull them out of the ocean with a crane . However , they were cornered again by Naare ' s Eclipse Fighter and Graballa ' s " Rancor ' s Fist " . While Roger exchanged fire with Graballa ' s ship , the Freemakers attempted to drag Naare ' s starfighter under water . Following a fierce struggle , the Freemakers managed to lose Naare and escape aboard the " StarScavenger " . Before the ship ' s doors could close , Naare managed to levitate the fifth Kyber crystal . Despite their setback , the Freemakers and Roger resolved to prevent Naare from finding the remaining Kyber Saber crystals . They traveled to Naboo where they discovered that the sixth crystal was housed somewhere inside the former Theed Royal Palace , which had been revamped as the Emperor Palpatine Museum . To break into the Museum , Zander smuggled in Roger as a disguised prop from the Clone Wars . Roger was housed in a large glass display beside a row of B2 super battle droid s . That night , Roger broke out of his metal casing and let the Freemakers into the Museum . While the other Freemakers scoured the Museum for the sixth Kyber crystal , Roger entered another Clone Wars exhibit and tried to reunite with his former comrade R0 - HK ; who was inoperative . Nevertheless , Roger proceeded to regale him with tales of his work as a salvage operator . Roger was startled when a head from a statue of Palpatine rolled into the exhibit and knocked the battle droid into his fallen comrades . This set off a series of blaster bolts which ricocheted across the hall and knocked down an N - 1 starfighter that Zander was fiddling with . Roger was helping Zander out of the N - 1 starfighter , which was still dangling from the ceiling in Theed Hangar , when they were rejoined by Kordi , who was donning one of Queen Amidala ' s royal robes . The three Freemakers were then cornered by the Imperial General s Durpin and Plumestriker , whom they had encountered earlier on Kashyyyk . The officers were about to execute them when Rowan turned up disguised as Emperor Palpatine and claimed that the intruders were " generous donors . " After discovering the sixth Kyber Saber crystal in Kordi ' s headdress , the Freemakers were ambushed by Naare and Dengar . Roger used a blaster he had taken from the Clone Wars exhibit to exchange fire with the bounty hunter while Rowan tangled with Naare . When one of Dengar ' s stray blasts hit R0 - HK , Roger entered into a rare berserker rage and chased Dengar out of the hangar while firing his blaster . Roger and the other Freemakers survived the destruction of the Emperor Palpatine Museum which was triggered by Rowan releasing the bolt holding the N - 1 starfighter . Once in space , the Freemakers discussed how Naare was able to tail their movements . Roger then discovered that Naare had reactivated his transmission pack following their adventure on Tatooine . The test of family . After escaping into hyperspace , Roger was relieved of his transmission pack by Zander and Kordi . While apologetic , Roger thought that he was not solely to blame for Naare being able to home in on them . Having discovered that the seventh and last Kyber Saber crystal was on Hoth , the Freemakers decided not to travel there to avoid luring Naare there . Instead , at Rowan ' s suggestion , they traveled to the junkyard planet of Zoh ; which was home to the legendary Maker of Zoh . According to Roger , the Maker was a droid myth whispered in repair shops . Upon landing on Zoh , Roger and the other Freemakers were surrounded by several old decommissioned droids , who were hostile to the organics . Roger tried to reassure the droids that his human companions posed no harm . However , the droids ' leader N - 3RO deemed Roger ' s human companions hostile after learning they had removed his transmission pack . Before the hostilities could escalate further , the Maker of Zoh intervened and managed to calm his droids down . The Freemakers quickly discovered that the Maker of Zoh was no other than the former Sith clone Jek ; who had changed sides and become an ally of the Jedi and the Rebel Alliance . While Rowan underwent further training under Jek ' s tutelage , Roger joined Zander and Kordi in exploring the junkyard world . After Roger accidentally toppled a crescent - shaped structure that nearly killed his masters , they expressed annoyance with him . Zander told Roger to return to the " StarScavenger " to " recalibrate the calibrators . " Roger quickly realized this was a ruse to get away from him . Shortly later , Roger was befriended by N - 3RO who asked if he had any problems with his masters . Believing N - 3RO to be friendly , Roger explained that his masters were angry with him for nearly killing them and accidentally letting the " bad guys " track them down . When Roger related another incident when his owners were angry at him for burning their dinner , N - 3RO claimed that organics did not know how to appreciate their droids . In an attempt to win Roger over , N - 3RO took the battle droid for an oil bath . During the bath , he invited Roger to join his droid community and claimed that the other Freemakers would scrap him once he had outlived his usefulness . Roger refused to believe that but enjoyed the bath . N - 3RO then told Roger to stay in the oil bath while he and the other droids moved against the Freemakers . After witnessing an explosion , Roger decided to investigate . Soon , he stumbled upon N - 3RO and his followers as they were preparing to execute the organics including the Maker , whom they had deemed irreparable due to his contact with the outsiders . N - 3RO tried to convince Roger to come over to their side and to cast aside his masters . However , Roger took the opportunity to reaffirm his loyalty to the Freemakers by saying that mistakes happened in families but that they still forgave each other because they were family . When N - 3RO asked whether he was choosing the humans over his droid brethren , Roger replied that he was both a droid and a Freemaker . Roger then reattached his transmission pack . After some delay , Naare arrived with Graballa ' s forces and attacked the junkyard . Kordi thanked Roger for bringing more " bad guys " to fight the other " bad guys " while Zander complimented Roger for thinking like a Freemaker . While Jek held back Naare , the Freemakers fled on the " StarScavenger " to Hoth . They were pursued by Naare and Graballa ' s forces . Frozen on Hoth . Roger and the other Freemakers traveled aboard the " StarScavenger " to Hoth . Upon entering the planet ' s atmosphere , the Freemakers flew their ship into a dangerous snowstorm with Naare and Graballa following at their heels . The Freemakers ' ship narrowly avoided colliding with a mountain but the " Eclipse Fighter " and the " Rancor ' s Fist " crashed into it . Upon landing , Roger stayed aboard the " StarScavenger " while the other Freemakers explored a nearby cave system . Roger attempted to keep the ship ' s engines warm but instead overloaded it , causing the " StarScavenger " to fall into a frozen lake . The other Freemakers eventually found the seventh Kyber Saber crystal but were dismayed to find the " StarScavenger " and Roger frozen solid and stuck in the ice . Roger managed to free himself but his language processor was frozen and the droid could only utter the word " genius . " Roger and his companions then traveled to the former rebel base Echo Base . After driving out the Imperial officers Durpin and Plumestriker , the Freemakers set up base there and prepared for a showdown with Naare and Graballa ' s forces . During the ensuing skirmish , Roger and Kordi rode on a refurbished AT - AT walker while Rowan and Zander rode a snowspeeder . Roger and Kordi ' walker managed to shoot down Graballa ' s " Rancor ' s Fist " , causing the ship to crash and free the " StarScavenger " from her frozen tomb . The Freemakers were forced to retreat when Naare unleashed an avalanche . After Naare issued an ultimatum for the kyber crystal , Rowan handed her an ice crystal . The Freemakers then fled with the real kyber crystal aboard the " StarScavenger " into space . Once in space , Roger was fully thawed and able to speak again . Since the Empire was after the Kyber Saber crystals , Rowan decided that he could not endanger his older brother and sister . Holding the last piece of the Kyber Saber , Rowan was determined not to let Naare reforge the ancient weapon . Without telling Zander and Kordi , he and Roger departed from the " StarScavenger " in the Mini Scavenger and jumped into hyperspace . Confronting Naare . After parting company with Zander and Kordi , Roger and Rowan hid on an remote planet . While Roger set by a campfire , Rowan sparred with several training droids he had found in a nearby cave . Roger wanted to go home but Rowan was not finished yet and asked the battle droid to play back a recording of a Clone Wars skirmish with the Jedi Master Kit Fisto . While troubled by his memories of the Clone Wars , Roger reluctantly complied with the boy . Later , Rowan asked Roger to play back a recording of the Battle of Geonosis in order to learn the moves of Anakin Skywalker , Obi - Wan Kenobi , and Mace Windu . Roger tried to offer the boy a video of him falling off the stairs but reluctantly acceded . While sparring with the training droids , Rowan sensed through the Force that his brother and sister were being torture d by Naare . Despite Roger sensing it was a trap , he accompanied Rowan on the Mini Scavenger back to the Freemaker Garage . Upon arriving , Roger and Rowan crashed their ship into the debris and then leapt onto a platform . While the other Freemakers fought with Naare and Graballa ' s henchmen , Roger contributed to the battle by releasing spareparts and debris over Naare . As the skirmish continued , Naare demanded to know who had trained Rowan . Roger then spoken up and replied that he had taught the boy using his memories of the Clone Wars and the Jedi particularly Master Windu . Roger then made the mistake of telling Naare that he had taught Rowan everything . Naare quickly deduced that the battle droid knew where the seventh Kyber Saber crystal was and pursued the droid . She then beheaded Roger and took his head , intending to access his memory bank s . After Naare turned on Graballa and his henchmen and drove them out of the Freemaker Garage , Naare linked up an unwilling Roger ' s head to a holoprojector . After learning the location of the last kyber crystal , Naare departed with Roger ' s head in her Eclipse Fighter . Showdown on Coruscant . After Naare arrived on the mysterious planet to claim the seventh Kyber Saber crystal , Roger implored her to look into herself . However , the Sith acolyte tossed the droid ' s head back into her starfighter cockpit . Naare then reforged the Kyber Saber and used it to carve up a mountain and destroy a nearby planet . Having tested the Kyber Saber ' s power , Naare then decided to rebel against her master Emperor Palpatine and attack Coruscant , the capital of the Galactic Empire . Using the Kyber Saber , Naare wiped out the Imperial fleet defending Coruscant and headed towards the Imperial Palace to confront the Emperor . Upon landing , she tossed Roger ' s head aside ; no longer having any need for his services . Roger was then found by Zander and Kordi who reattached his head to his body . After Rowan stole the Kyber Saber from Naare , the Freemakers fled Coruscant on the " StarScavenger " . Despite being pursued by Imperial forces , they managed to flee into hyperspace . Rowan then destroyed the Kyber Saber by tossing it into the volcano world of Mustafar . Having incurred the wrath of the Emperor , the Freemakers realized that they could not return to their garage on the Wheel . Instead , they decided to travel throughout the galaxy . Shortly later , the Freemakers were discovered by Admiral Ackbar , who invited them to join the Rebel Alliance . Joining the Rebellion . Bartering across the galaxy . After being greeted by Admiral Ackbar , Roger and his fellow Freemakers decided to join the Rebel Alliance . Roger was motivated by a desire to take a break from his job as the Freemakers ' butler . After boarding the MC80 star cruiser " Home One " , the Freemakers were greeted by Admiral Ackbar , who was aware they were fugitives from the Empire . With the rebel starfighter pilot Lieutenant Valeria needing a new Type A vector coil for her U - wing starfighter , Ackbar offered to hire the Freemakers if they could obtain a new one . Roger accompanied his family on a tour of several planets including Bespin , Takodana , Kashyyyk , and Tatooine . During the journey , Kordi bartered an ignition key for various objects including a comlink gasser , an ion projector , a Type Two power cell , and a repulsor disc . On Tatooine , Kordi managed to barter the repulsor disc for a Type A vector coil . Meanwhile , Roger along with Zander and Rowan were caught in the tentacles of a sarlacc . After obtaining the repulsor disc for Valeria ' s U - wing , a grateful Admiral Ackbar decided to hire the Freemakers . The accidental hero . Later , Roger attempted to befriend several rebel droids including the C1 - series astromech droid Chopper by offering them motor oil drinks . However , the combustible fuel exploded . Thinking that Roger had played a prank on them , the other droids beat him up using one of his arms . After chatting with the other Freemakers in " Home One " hangar bay , Roger experienced an epiphany and decided to build an improvised buffer out of spareparts . Despite the arrival of an Imperial Star Destroyer , Roger remained oblivious and continued building his machine . While " borrowing " various objects , Roger accidentally tossed a piece of machinery into the engines of a B - wing starfighter , causing the fighter to explode and block the hangar . This prevented more rebel starfighters from aiding Lieutenant Valeria ' s forces . While testing the buffer , Roger accidentally catapulted himself into space . Roger crashed into the Star Destroyer ' s deflector shield generator . This turned the tide of the battle and enable the " Home One " to destroy the Imperial warship . Due to his services , Roger was awarded a medal . He told Chopper to keep the accident a secret . Roger and Chopper then tested the buffer only to be catapulted into space a second time . Assault on Strike Station Aurek . While Zander and Kordi were servicing Blue Squadron ' s starfighter s prior to the planned assault on Strike Station Aurek , Roger was baking a tray of sweet - sand cookies to celebrate the occasion . Blinded by the engine exhaust , Roger bumped into a stack of crates that Rowan had erected to eavesdrop on Lieutenant Valeria ' s briefing . The crates crashed on the starfighters in a domino effect , damaging them . Roger tried to blame Rowan while Kordi panicked . However , Rowan decided to use his Force powers to repair the ships . He told Roger to help him while Kordi and Zander attempted to delay Valeria and her pilots with an S - foil . Roger managed to repair Valeria ' s Y - wing but ended up building his feet into the ship ' s astromech socket . Rowan tried to free Roger but was unable to do so . The two were trapped aboard the repaired Y - wing as Valeria took off into space to lead the assault . During the assault on Strike Station Aurek , Roger panicked and Rowan was forced to cover for him . At Rowan ' s insistence , Roger pretended to be an R6 unit . As Valeria approached the station ' s thermal exhaust port , Roger fretted that he had not fixed the launch tube . Rowan instead used the Force to dislodge the proton torpedo into the port , causing an explosion which destroyed the Imperial base . Roger , Rowan , and the rebels returned to " Home One " where Rowan used his lightsaber to cut them out of the ship . They reunited with Zander and Kordi while Valeria complimented her crew , who had been left behind . Zander ' s dogfight . After Zander decided to join Lieutenant Valeria ' s Blue Squadron in his Blazemaker Mark II , Roger joined Kordi and Rowan in helping refit his starfighter with laser cannon s . Roger tried to attach a laser cannon to one of the wings of the Blazemaker Mark II but ended up colliding with a nearby A - wing , demolishing the fighter . Zander also installed a magma cannon on top of the Blazemaker II . Zander managed to turn the tide of the dogfight . However , the Blazemaker II blew up when the magma cannon malfunctioned . Zander however survived the explosion . Mission to rescue Lando and Chewbacca . When the Freemakers embarked on a mission to rescue the rebel agents Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca , Roger was packed into a cargo crate . The Freemakers ' plan was to get captured by an Imperial blockade , steal the ship ' s fuel intermixer , and escape to rendezvous with Lando and Chewbacca . After Plumestriker and Durpin imprisoned the Freemakers in the brig of their " Gozanti " - class cruiser , Rowan used the Force to summon Roger out of their cargo box and reassemble him . Roger then used one of his legs to knock out the stormtrooper sentries guarding the Freemakers ' cell . Kordi then sent Roger and Zander to power up the " StarScavenger " engines . On the way , Roger tripped over one of the stormtroopers and left one of his legs behind . The Freemakers then managed to rendezvous with Lando and Chewbacca . After fixing the fuel intermixer to the " Millennium Falcon " , the rebels returned together to " Home One " . Roger interrupted the celebration to inform them that he had left one of his legs behind on the Imperial cruiser . Expedition to Tibalt . When the Alliance Fleet was pursued by two Star Destroyers , Roger was searching for targeting lasers for the fleet ' s B - wing starfighters . Shortly later , a crate of targeting lasers fell on top of him . He then informed Kordi that he had found the targeting lasers . This enabled the B - wings to break a path through the Imperial TIE fighters . Following the dogfight , Roger accompanied his fellow Freemakers and the Mon Calamari starship builder Quarrie on a mission to salvage spareparts for the Rebellion . While exploring Tibalt , Roger and Rowan found an Imperial ion thruster but Quarrie thought it was junk . Rowan then discovered a new starship which turned out to be the Imperial hunter droid M - OC ' s starship " Tracker I " . M - OC had been sent by the Emperor to capture Rowan and kidnapped the young Jedi in training . Roger and the other Freemakers gave chase in the " StarScavenger " and Rowan managed to use his lightsaber to break out of the craft . Despite Rowan ' s escape , M - OC refused to give up and managed to damage one of the " StarScavenger " engines , forcing the ship to crash land . As Rowan fought with M - OC , Roger , the other Freemakers , and Quarrie climbed on top of a wrecked ship . Roger panicked when he discovered the fusion generator was leaking but Quarrie revealed they were not planning to fly . Quarrie and Kordi caused the ship to crash into M - OC and " Tracker I " . While M - OC survived destruction , this gave the Freemakers and Quarrie enough time to flee offworld on the " StarScavenger " . After returning to the " Home One " , Quarrie recruited Rowan as his apprentice . Adventure on Aliston Nor . Roger was present in Quarrie ' s workshop when Rowan tried unsuccessfully to describe the " Arrowhead " starship from his vision . Rowan was unable to assemble the model and Roger described the resulting work as a " piece of junk . " Believing that Rowan needed to learn some sense of style and craftsmanship , Quarrie convinced Rowan to travel with him to the ancient city of Aliston Nor . As Rowan ' s babysitter , Roger cautioned Rowan to wait and seek permission from his older siblings Zander and Kordi . Rowan managed to trick his busy older brother Zander into letting him , Quarrie , and Roger hang out aboard the " StarScavenger " . Once aboard , Roger realized too late that Rowan was intending to embark on an errant mission to Aliston Nor . After the " StarScavenger " knocked several ships while leaving the " Home One " hangar , Roger remarked that it was too late for him to get out . During the hyperspace journey , Roger was stuck to the cockpit ' s metal door . After exiting hyperspace , the " StarScavenger " encountered no obstacles above Aliston Nor ' s planet . However , the Imperial probe droid XJ9MO2 detected the ship ' s presence and alerted M - OC . After landing in the jungle - covered ruins of Aliston Nor , Roger derisively likened Rowan ' s flying abilities to that of his older brother Zander . Upon hearing the roar of a gundark , Roger opined that they had made a bad mistake . Shortly later , the group was ambushed by a pack of gundarks . Roger and Quarrie managed to flee into a tunnel while Rowan used the Force to trap the gundarks with several stone columns . Despite his pessimism , Roger accompanied Rowan and Quarrie through the tunnel into a cylindrical hallway , which turned out to be the interior of the Tower of Aliston Nor . Roger reluctantly gave Quarrie a piggy back ride up the Tower . While at the top , Rowan experienced a Force vision of Aliston Nor in its glory days and the " Arrowhead " ; something that Roger and Quarrie could not experience . Shortly later , Roger heard the buzz of engines which turned out to be M - OC ' s starship " Tracker I " . M - OC strafed the rebels , causing the three to fall off the ramparts . However , Rowan used the Force to stop Roger and Quarrie from plummeting to their deaths . While Rowan dueled with M - OC , he managed to hurl Roger and Quarrie towards a vine . Roger and Quarrie clung onto the vine long enough for Rowan to defeat M - OC in combat . Before M - OC could recover , Roger and his companions fled Aliston Nor aboard the " StarScavenger " . They then returned to the " Home One " where Rowan managed to assemble a model of the " Tracker I " . Obtaining the embersteel blade . Roger accompanied the Freemakers on a mission to obtain a Theta - class H - 2 executive star shuttle that was being auctioned at the Mygeeto Auction House . While the Freemakers infiltrated the Auction House , Roger waited aboard the " StarScavenger " . When Kordi tripped over her dress , Roger remarked that he thought it was a bad omen . While waiting , Roger practiced with addressing Mon Mothma by talking to a mop . He initially panicked when Rowan returned and tried to appear like he was working . Roger flew the " StarScavenger " with Rowan when the Freemakers pursued Graballa , who had kidnapped their sister Kordi . Following a brief skirmish , the Freemakers succeeded in rescuing Kordi and returning to the " Home One " with the " Theta " - class shuttle , whose wings were forged into the " Arrowhead " frontal blades . Detour to Taul . Roger was later present at Quarrie ' s garage when Quarre and Rowan discussed the matter of obtaining a proton suspension housing to store the " Arrowhead " giant kyber crystal . Rowan accidentally burned through a set of chains , causing several heavy objects to fall . Roger was damaged when he was hurled against a generator . Rowan quickly apologized and hurried Roger into the recharge chamber aboard the " StarScavenger " . Roger remained in the recharge chamber while Rowan , Zander , and Kordi undertook a mission to rescue Major Bren Derlin . During the course of their journey , the Freemakers got distracted when the pirate Hondo Ohnaka convinced them that he could lead them to a Corellian Defender on the planet Taul . The Corellian Defender was the only ship known to have a proton suspension housing capable of storing a giant kyber crystal . While on Taul , Hondo abandoned the Freemakers and stole the " StarScavenger " . Roger soon finished recharging and confronted Hondo about his presence aboard the ship . When Hondo claimed that the Freemakers had gone on a blue milk run , Roger realized that Hondo was lying because Kordi was allergic to blue milk . A fight broke out and Roger managed to maneuver Hondo into the ship ' s cargo bay . Despite Hondo managing to detach Roger ' s head , Roger managed to push Hondo into a cargo container and sealed it . Upon returning to the bridge , Roger realized that the Freemakers were stranded on Taul . After rescuing his human masters , Roger and the Freemakers rescued Major Bren Derlin from his escape pod . While heading back to the " Home One " , Roger served Bren blue milk pancakes and was praised by the rebel Major . Later , Roger returned the box containing Hondo to the bounty hunter Awan Zek and his associates at Maz Kanata ' s castle on Takodana . Characteristics .

He was visibly angered when N - 3R0 tried to hurt his family . Despite being troubled by his memories of the Clone Wars , Roger reluctantly helped Rowan improve his lightsaber combat skills by playing back recordings of Jedi battles . This greatly improved Rowan ' s lightsaber skills and combat powers during his penultimate match against Naare at the Wheel . In a misguided attempt to protect Rowan , Roger also identified himself as Rowan ' s teacher and claimed that he taught the boy all the techniques and powers of the old Jedi Order . However , Naare realized that Roger knew the location of the last Kyber Saber crystal and stole his head . Later , Roger attempted to talk Naare out of her plan to harness the Kyber Saber but failed to persuade the Sith acolyte .
