Lexhannen Torlock ( droid ) A male Human replica droid , Lexhannen was one of two droids created to mimic the real Imperial Governor Lexhannen Torlock and his daughter , Frija . Biography . Lexhannen and his " daughter " were created by the scientist , Massad Thrumble . The droids were created for Governor Torlock as a precaution should the Rebellion ever attack Corulag . Unfortunately for Torlock , the attack did not come from the Rebels , but from his own daughter , who planned to assume control of Corulag with her paramour , Admiral Droon . Torlock activated the two HRDs and fled the planet while the droids acted as decoys . Eventually , the two droids were split up , and Admiral Droon ' s men captured Lexhannen . Droon quickly learned that Lexhannen was not what he appeared and had his technicians search Lexhannen ' s memory . Their search turned up that Lexhannen had a daughter , and Droon put together a search party to capture the droid . Lexhannen was kept in Droon ' s dungeon while Droon ' s men searched for the droid . The Imperials eventually caught the false Frija and Droon planned to stage a fight which would " kill " Lexhannen and erase all evidence of the two HRDs . Droon would then replace Torlock as the new Imperial Governor of Corulag . Droon hired Black Sun assassins to pose as Rebels in the false fight . Unfortunately , Droon did not plan on the interference of Darth Vader and his agent , Wrenga Jixton . Jix killed the assassins and saved Frija . With the droid ' s help , he unraveled the conspiracy , rescued Lexhannen , and captured Admiral Droon . Jix brought his prisoner and the two droids back to Coruscant . Jix then refueled their ship and told them to find a remote planet and stay there . Lexhannen was eager to leave organics behind , but allowed his daughter to give one last goodbye to Jix . The two then left for the Outer Rim Territories , finally settling on the ice planet of Hoth . After arriving on the ice planet , Lexhannen destroyed their communications devices and created a shelter for himself and Frija to live out the rest of their days . However , Frija was not content to live the rest of her days in isolation , and she bugged her father for some companionship , forcing Lexhannen to continually remind her of the evils of organic beings . Lexhannen ' s lessons had little effect , and one day , Frija brought in the droid C - 3PO and his master , Luke Skywalker , back to their shelter . The two had crash landed on Hoth , and Frija , desperate for a companion , had saved the two . Lexhannen became angry with Frija , ordering her to dismantle the droid for parts and throw Skywalker back out into the cold . Skywalker was not about to be frozen to death and attacked Lexhannen , stripping him of his weapons . He devised a plan to combine his damaged communicator on his ship with the droids ' damaged communicator and signal the Rebellion . He imprisoned Lexhannen in a supply closet and put C - 3PO on watch . Then he and Frija departed to retrieve the damaged communicator from Luke ' s crashed ship . However , Lexhannen had more tricks up his sleeve , and he retrieved one of his hidden weapons to free himself . Lexhannen then made after Frija and Skywalker to stop the transmission . When Lexhannen arrived , he tried to kill Skywalker with a blaster , but Frija saved him from the shot . In the ensuing firefight , Lexhannen learned that Skywalker had repaired the communicator , and he aimed for the device . Unfortunately , Lexhannen ' s aim was off , and his shot hit his daughter in the back , severely damaging her internal parts . Lexhannen was overcome with grief and blamed Skywalker for his daughter ' s death . Firing wildly , Lexhannen tried to kill the young Jedi . With no other choice , Skywalker struck down Lexhannen with his lightsaber . The attack also revealed that the Lexhannen and his daughter were HRDs . Skywalker buried the two droids on Hoth before the " Millennium Falcon " arrived to rescue himself and C - 3PO .
