KT - 10 KT - 10 was an astromech droid with a programmed female personality . She was captured by the giant droid known as the Great Heep on Biitu , and she and fellow astromech R2 - D2 became romantically interested in each other while the two were being held captive in the Heep ' s droid harem . KT - 10 was eventually fed to the Heep , had her power drained , and was deactivated . R2 - D2 and the Heep ' s other astromech droid prisoners rescued her from the junkyard where she had been deposited and gave their power up to reactivate her . Biography . KT - 10 , an astromech droid with feminine programming , found herself on the Outer Rim planet Biitu in 15 BBY when she was captured by the Great Heep , a giant droid dispatched by the Galactic Empire to drain the agriworld of its resources . KT - 10 was placed in the droid harem , a location in the Heep ' s base where he kept the astromech droids upon whose power he would regularly feed . There , like the other droids in the harem , she was pampered with oil baths and cushions to keep her unaware of her eventual fate . KT - 10 attracted the attention of many of the other masculine - programmed droids there . While watching her , they found themselves distracted and prone to accidents . When the astromech droid R2 - D2 was captured by the Great Heep , he was also deposited into the Heep ' s harem . KT - 10 , ignoring the attentions of the other droids , playfully cavorted at the edge of the oil bath that R2 was in . Attracted to her , the other droid approached her and connected his computer interface arm to hers . Despite this earning the jealousy of other droids in the harem , the two moved into the oil bath to play and spray oil at each other . Over the course of the next day , the two became very friendly , playing and nuzzling each other in the pools of oil . This happiness was not to last , however . The Great Heep needed more power , and wanted another R2 unit . R2 - D2 ' s counterpart , the protocol droid C - 3PO , had meanwhile found his way into the harem to rescue R2 - D2 . When R2 - D2 left the oil bath to speak to him , KT - 10 was captured . She was taken to the Heep and fed to him , with the two other droids only able to hear her scream . KT - 10 ' s shell was deposited in a junkyard . In his attempt to escape , R2 - D2 found his way to the same junkyard , where he found the remains of KT - 10 . He attempted to use his own power to reactivate her , but did not have enough power , and was also soon taken captive by the Great Heep . When the Great Heep was finally defeated and his droids set free , they and R2 - D2 crowded around the empty shell of KT - 10 . R2 - D2 again connected his power supply to her , only this time all the other droids linked up to him , so he could use their power as well . This was enough , and soon KT - 10 was reactivated . She and R2 - D2 reunited at last . Their relationship would not last , though . R2 - D2 enjoyed adventure too much to settle down , and the two droids parted ways . Characteristics . Considered to be an offshoot of the KT - series model of astromech droid , KT - 10 was an ovoid astromech droid decorated in pink and red . Her sensors were blue , and the treads on the bottom of her legs resembled women ' s footwear . KT - 10 , despite being considered attractive by other astromech droids , was somewhat coy in her flirtations with R2 - D2 . Nonetheless , she allowed their relationship to advance very quickly , to the extent that R2 - D2 was willing to sacrifice himself to save her . Behind the scenes .
