Mister Bones Mister Bones , also simply referred to as Bones , was a heavily modified B1 battle droid with a murderous personality . He was constructed by Temmin Wexley and built from components the boy scavenged from the catacombs beneath Myrra , the capital city of Akiva . Bones served as Temmin ' s personal bodyguard in addition to being considered his friend and loyal companion . He had a sadistic personality and would sing or hum while attacking and maiming his victims . After Temmin reunited with his mother , Norra Wexley , Temmin joined the nascent New Republic and helped Norra and her team hunt down Imperial war criminals . Mister Bones continued serving Temmin a year after the Battle of Endor . When Prince ss Leia Organa enlisted the services of Norra and her team in finding her husband , Han Solo , Bones accompanied them to Irudiru and later Kashyyyk . He took part in the liberation of the Ashmead ' s Lock prisoners which included Temmin ' s father , Brentin Lore Wexley . Bones continued supporting his master Temmin during the lead - up to the attack on Chandrila . Following the attacks , Bones accompanied Temmin and Norra ' s team in their hunt for the Imperial Grand Admiral Rae Sloane . At the request of Temmin , Mister Bones followed the boy ' s mother to Jakku . He rescued her from an Imperial labor camp . After reuniting with Jas Emari , Bones escorted the two women on their hunt for Grand Admiral Sloane . During the Battle of Jakku , Bones along with Norra joined forces with Sloane and Brentin to stop Counselor Gallius Rax from detonating both Jakku and the New Republic and Imperial forces . Bones later separated from Norra ' s party and reunited with Temmin during the battle . He saved the boy from several Imperial stormtrooper s but was permanently disintegrated in a friendly - fire incident by two A - wings . Biography . Origins . Temmin Wexley built Mister Bones using spare parts he had scavenged from a former Separatist factory in Myrra city on the planet Akiva about three years before the Battle of Endor . Since Temmin had no friends and was bullied by his peers . Bones became a close friend to the adolescent human boy , whose father , Brentin , had been taken away by the Galactic Empire and whose mother , Norra , had left him to join the Rebellion . Norra had left Temmin in the care of his aunt Esmelle and her wife Shirene . However , Temmin ' s aunts proved to be unable to manage him . By the age of fifteen , Temmin had moved back to his family home , which he converted into a junk shop . Unable to turn to his family , Temmin came to treat Bones as his best friend . Protecting Master Temmin . Since Temmin ' s line of work brought him into contact with underworld elements , Bones served as the boy ' s personal bodyguard . Shortly after the Battle of Endor , Temmin activated Mister Bones in order to deal with three gangster s : the Abednedo Toomata Wree , the Ithorian Herf , and the Koorivar Makarial Gravin , who served as enforcers for the Sullustan gangster Surat Nuat . Temmin had stolen supplies from one of Surat ' s wrecked transport s and the gangsters had come to punish the boy for his perceived insolence . After the gangsters demanded that he hand over his store and livelihood , Temmin ordered Bones to attack the gangsters . Using his vibroblade , Bones destroyed Herf ' s DLT cannon and then slammed the Ithorian into Tooms . The droid then pounded Herf and Toom ' s heads together , knocking them out . Makarial then attempted to force Temmin ' s surrender by pointing a blaster at the boy ' s head . However , Temmin ' s repurposed interrogator droid injected a toxic narcotic , which incapacitated the Koorivar . Shortly , Norra entered the house . After embracing his mother , Temmin ordered Bones to dump the gangsters ' bodies at the intersection of Trabzon Road and the Kora Biedies river . While humming a tune , the droid left Temmin and his mother to sort out their problems . Mister Bones proved unsuccessful in carrying out his task and at least one of the gangsters , Tooms , escaped . Surat ' s gangsters managed to deactivate Mister Bones and place him in storage mode . The gangsters placed the deactivated Bones in an ion field . After escaping his mother , Temmin returned to the storehouse only to discover that Bones was immobilized . He was then captured by Surat ' s lackeys including a potbellied Rodian and an oil - skinned Herglic . The immobilized Mister Bones along with Temmin were taken back to Surat ' s lair . Later , Temmin was rescued by the bounty hunter Jas Emari and the former Imperial loyalty officer Sinjir Rath Velus . During the struggle , Temmin reactivated Mister Bones , who then attacked several Imperial stormtrooper s and Surat ' s henchmen . He quickly killed the stormtroopers and their officer with his vibroblade . Bones ' intervention allowed Temmin , Jas , and Sinjir to escape in Norra ' s bala - bala speeder . Bones survived the skirmish but was seriously damaged and lost his non - vibroblade arm . Despite the serious damage , Bones managed to limp to Esmelle ' s house , where his master Temmin and his rescuers were seeking refuge . Upon greeting his master , Bones short - circuited and broke down . Temmin quickly set about repairing his companion , using spare parts he had salvaged from Esmelle ' s basement workshop . Due to the scarce materials , Temmin was forced to improvise by replacing Bones ' missing arm with an astromech droid ' s leg . Regarding astromech droids as inferior , Bones whined about his " non - arm . " Temmin assured his droid that he would repair him as soon as they returned to the shop . Despite losing his vibroblade arm , Mister Bones vowed to continue serving his master . Temmin also thanked his droid for coming back . Uprising on Akiva . Mister Bones later followed his Master Temmin , who reluctantly agreed to helped his mother , the bounty hunter Jas Emari , and the former Imperial Sinjir rescue the New Republic starfighter pilot Wedge Antilles from Imperial captivity at Satrap Isstra Dirus ' s palace . Following the Battle of Endor , the Galactic Empire had descended into chaos and turmoil with the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader aboard the second Death Star . The Rebel Alliance had established a new galactic government called the New Republic . While on a scouting mission above Akiva , Wedge had been captured by Admiral Rae Sloane . Several leading Imperials had convened an Imperial Future Council to discuss the fate of the Empire . Norra wanted to rescue Wedge and inspire the people of Akiva to revolt against the Empire . Part of Norra ' s plan involved seizing control of an Imperial communications station . After Sinjir had bluffed his way into the building , Bones stormed the building and used both his vibroblade and astromech leg arms to kill a few stormtroopers . Bones then recorded a faux recording of Sinjir , dressed as an Imperial officer , shooting Temmin dead . This was part of a propaganda broadcast that Norra transmitted to the people of Akiva . This had the effect of inspiring a popular uprising on the planet . After finishing the broadcast , Bones killed a moth with his vibroblade arm . After uploading their broadcast , Bones and his companions fled to the roof only to be cornered by two TIE fighters . At Temmin ' s command , Bones cannonballed himself into the windscreen of a TIE fighter . Temmin ' s mother , Norra , destroyed the other TIE with a stolen fighter . Later , Mister Bones turned up at the cantina Pok ' s Place with his master . Despite being battered and losing several of his little osseous accoutrements , the battle droid was still intact and operational . Shortly afterward , Norra turned up , having survived a failed attack on the satrap ' s palace . Bones was relieved that Norra had survived and expressed his delight that her existence had not been reduced to " scattered atoms . " Later , Bones followed his master and their companions back to Temmin ' s shop . He followed Temmin into his " hidey - hole nook - and - cubby . " There , Temmin attempted to make peace with Surat by offering Sinjir and Jas to the Empire in return for obtaining safe passage for himself , his mum , and Mister Bones offworld . Surat agreed to the deal but secretly arranged with Admiral Sloane to arrest Norra , who was a New Republic pilot . After returning to the shop , Norra put her plan to rescue Wedge into action . Using Temmin ' s knowledge of the underground catacombs beneath Myrra , the rebels and Bones traveled to the satrap ' s palace . During the journey , Bones hummed and sang , prompting his master to explain his programming to Sinjir . After escaping several Uugteen savages inhabiting a former Separatist droid factory , Temmin led the travelers up the old Banking Clan building , which was near the satrap ' s palace . Upon arriving outside the palace , the companions were ambushed and captured by Imperial stormtroopers led by Admiral Sloane . Once inside the palace , Temmin demanded that the Empire and Surat honor their deal . However , Surat revealed that he had made another deal with the Empire . Temmin was allowed to leave but Norra was arrested by Admiral Sloane . Temmin protested and called on Bones to save them . However , Sloane ' s stormtroopers shot the droid down with their blasters . Sloane herself personally emptied six blaster bolts into the droid ' s head , decapitating Mister Bones . With the droid disintegrated , she ordered her men to throw Temmin off the roof and to take the other prisoner s aboard the slave trader Arsin Crassus ' s yacht " Golden Harp " . However , Temmin survived and managed to free his mother , Sinjir , and Jas Emari . Soon , a New Republic fleet arrived and liberated the planet . Joining the New Republic . Following the Battle of Akiva , Temmin and Norra rebuilt Mister Bones from scrap in Esmelle and Shirene ' s basement as a " family project " to make up for the years of separation . While Bones was now able to walk , he left craters in his wake . Bones then joined Temmin , Norra , Sinjir , Jas Emari , and the New Republic soldier Jom Barell in hunting down Imperial war criminals . Mister Bones stayed aboard Emari ' s gunship " Halo " with Temmin during a mission to kidnap the Imperial Rear Admiral Perwin Gedde from Slussen Canker ' s palace on Vorlag . Temmin was serving as the team ' s getaway pilot . While waiting to pick up Norra and the rest of the team , Bones boasted about eradicating their adversaries and turning them into fine red mist . Temmin picked up Norra ' s team and the fugitive Rear Admiral . Mister Bones accompanied Temmin and the rest of the team back to Hanna City on Chandrila . After handing Gedde over to the New Republic authorities , Bones accompanied Temmin to a starfighter lesson organized by Captain Wedge Antilles , who had become his master ' s mentor . Bones gave Wedge an uncomfortable hug before dancing around Landing Platform OB - 99 in dramatic swoops , plies , and pirouettes . Later , Mister Bones was present at a meeting organized by Norra to discuss the poisoning of Rear - Admiral Gedde and Prince ss Leia Organa ' s request to rescue her husband , Han Solo . When Sinjir informed the group that Leia was pregnant , Mister Bones began signing a song about the pregnancy until Sinjir told him to stop . Mister Bones and his master Temmin stayed behind on Chandrila while Norra and Wedge departed on an unauthorized mission to the last known coordinates of Han Solo in Wild Space . In Bones ' absence , Norra and Wedge came under attack from Imperial forces but were rescued by New Republic ships . After Norra returned to Chandrila , Mister Bones and the rest of the team attended a meeting with Admiral Ackbar , Princess Leia , and Wedge Antilles in the Skygarden above the Polis District of Hanna City . While the others talked , Mister Bones chased a butterfly and ripped off its wings . When Admiral Ackbar ordered Norra and her team to cease searching for Solo and to resume their hunt for Imperial fugitives , Norra resigned from the New Republic Starfleet in protest . Mister Bones and Norra ' s team subsequently departed on their mission to find and rescue Han . Mission to Kashyyyk . Mister Bones accompanied Temmin and Norra ' s team on a mission to track down the Siniteen prison architect Golas Aram on the planet Irudiru on the edge of Wild Space . Aram was privy to information on an automated Imperial prison on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk called Ashmead ' s Lock . While surveying Aram ' s compound , Temmin and Norra ' s team encountered Han Solo . Later , Mister Bones accosted Han Solo at a nearby cantina , having mistaken him for a threat . However , he was stopped by Temmin and the rest of the team , who reassured him that Solo was a friend . Since Han wanted to rescue his Wookiee friend Chewbacca from Ashmead ' s Lock , the rebels teamed up with the former smuggler to storm Aram ' s compound . Bones and Temmin aided the mission by cutting the conduit from the wind farm that powered Aram ' s fence and turrets . After capturing Aram , Sinjir interrogated the Siniteen and learned about the prison ' s layout . The rebels traveled with Han to Kashyyyk . After passing through the Imperial blockade , Mister Bones and his comrades entered Ashmead ' s Lock . They were immediately confronted by the prison ' s computer system SOL - GDA , which demanded that they yielded the password . When the rebels failed to supply the password , SOL - GDA dispatched security droids to " incorporate " them . Amidst the chaos , Mister Bones began using his vibroblade to saw through various objects including a door . Temmin roused the battle droid by appealing to his lust for violence and danger . Mister Bones used his vibroblades to slash at the security droids , destroying several in the process . Bones fought his way into the chamber containing the stasis cells where the prisoners were being held . Despite losing one arm and twisting one of his metallic legs , Bones fought his way to free Norra , who had been captured by several droids . At that moment , Jas Emari disabled the cable connecting the stasis cells to the computer system , deactivating SOL - GDA . Norra ' s team and Han then freed a hundred prisoners including Chewbacca and Temmin ' s father , Brentin . Mister Bones accompanied Temmin , Norra , and the liberated prisoners back to Chandrila on Solo ' s freighter , the " Millennium Falcon " . Meanwhile , Jom , Sinjir , and Jas stayed behind with Han and Chewbacca to liberate the Wookiees from Imperial rule . Once aboard , Mister Bones urged Temmin to hug his father but advised them not to squeeze each other too hard . By that stage , Temmin had repaired Mister Bones using supplies from the " Falcon " . Standing by Temmin . In the month following the events at Ashmead ' s Lock , Mister Bones continued serving his master Temmin as the boy struggled to repair his relationship with Brentin . Still traumatized by his incarceration , Brentin struggled to reconnect with his son and wife . Frustrated , Temmin made life difficult for his mother , Norra , and stopped attending X - wing starfighter lessons . Despite his slapstick humor , Mister Bones was perceptive enough to sense that Temmin was upset about his father . On one occasion , Bones was present when Temmin argued with his mother . After Temmin threw his dish into the sink , Bones volunteered to clean up after his master . Loyal to his programming , Bones accompanied his master on a long walk . Later , Mister Bones stayed at the Wexley family home while Temmin went on an evening walk with his dad . During the walk , Temmin discovered his father meeting with the New Republic Senate Guard Windom Traducier , who was an agent of the Imperial Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax . Rax had installed inorganic bio - chips into the heads of the Ashmead ' s Lock prisoners , including Brentin . The Fleet Admiral wanted to use the prisoners to assassinate New Republic leaders including Chancellor Mon Mothma . Under the orders of Rax , Traducier had used a transponder to summon the former prisoners and outfitted them with concealed blasters for the assassination attempt . When Temmin discovered the conspiracy , Brentin stunned him and flung him inside a crate . The following day , Mister Bones went to find his master , mistaking his disappearance for a hide - and - seek game . Bones found Temmin and rescued him from the crate . Temmin then told Bones that they had to find his mother , Norra , and warn her . By that stage , the Liberation Day celebrations were under way . To promote the New Republic to prospective member worlds , Chancellor Mothma had made the former Ashmead ' s Lock prisoners the stars of the Liberation Day celebrations . She planned to give a speech in the presence of the former prisoners that would be broadcast live on HoloNet . The Liberation Day celebrations were intended to precede the upcoming Imperial - Republic peace talks with Grand Admiral Rae Sloane . Mister Bones and Temmin headed to the Old Gather - House , where the Liberation Day speech was scheduled to take place . However , they were blocked by several Senate Guards , who ordered them to leave . When one of the guards waved a shock - lance at Temmin , Bones reacted instinctively and knocked the guard to the ground . At that point , the Ashmead ' s Lock prisoners began opening fire on Chancellor Mothma and other New Republic officials and dignitaries . When another Senate Guard tackled and hit Temmin with a baton , Bones flung him aside and then took on two more Guards with his vibroblades . Amidst the chaos , Brentin regained control of his mind but fled offworld . The New Republic authorities managed to reestablish control , but the attacks had weakened public enthusiasm for the New Republic . While Mon Mothma survived , several other New Republic officials including General Crix Madine and the Adviser Hostis Ij were rumored to be dead . Following the attack on Chandrila , Bones accompanied his master Temmin , Norra , Sinjir , and Jas Emari on a mission to hunt down Grand Admiral Sloane , who they mistakenly believed was the mastermind behind the attack on Chandrila . For that mission , they received the personal and financial blessing of Princess Leia , who was grateful for their help . Protecting Norra . For the next several months , Mister Bones accompanied his master Temmin and Norra ' s team on their hunt for Grand Admiral Sloane . Their travels took them to Kashyyyk , Ord Mantell , Corellia , and Jindau Station . Norra and her team eventually decided to hunt down the bounty hunter Mercurial Swift , who had dealings with Sloane . While Norra ' s team trapped Mercurial Swift on Taris , Mister Bones and Temmin manned Norra ' s freighter " Moth " . Though Bones did not mind guarding the ship , Temmin was unhappy at being left behind and did not understand that his mother was trying to protect him . After Mercurial Swift revealed that Sloane and an unidentified man had traveled to the Inner Rim planet of Jakku , Norra ' s team set a course for the remote planet . Upon exiting hyperspace , Norra ' s team discovered that the Imperial remnants had gathered above Jakku . The " Moth " was attacked by several TIE fighters . After Norra and Jas Emari abruptly departed in the freighter ' s escape pod to continue their hunt for Sloane , Temmin sent Mister Bones down in a second escape pod to protect his mother at any cost . Since Norra had set the " Moth " hyperdrive to jump into hyperspace in two minutes , Temmin and Sinjir traveled back to Chandrila to warn the New Republic that the Empire was hiding on Jakku . Mister Bones survived his landing on Jakku . However , Norra and Jas were captured by Imperial forces . Norra was forced to work at a kesium gas rig while Jas was taken captive by the local Hutt crime lady Niima . Mister Bones found Norra and Jas ' escape pod but was captured by a stormtrooper , who fitted him with a restraining bolt . The stormtrooper ' s officer Effney ordered that Bones be brought to General Hodnar Borrum aboard the " Ravager " . Before the stormtrooper could take Mister Bones away , Norra claimed that Bones was her droid . She demanded that the Imperials release her and her droid . However , Effney grabbed the blaster from his subordinate and blasted Mister Bones to shreds . Effney then left the wreckage of Mister Bones on the floor in order to break Norra ' s spirit . However , Mister Bones ' memory matrix had been programmed to reboot itself . After experiencing memories of the Clone Wars , Mister Bones remembered Temmin ' s last set of commands . Bones activated his autonomic repair mode and his body parts began reassembling themselves . After repairing himself , Mister Bones attacked the stormtroopers and Effney . As revenge for Effney ' s cruel disintegration , Bones cut off his arm and then ripped the Imperial officer to shreds , killing him . Mister Bones then freed Norra from her cage . Resuming the hunt . After freeing the other prisoners at the kesium rig , Bones and Norra stole a speeder bike and traveled through the deserts of Jakku . After traveling for several hours , they encountered Jas , who had freed herself from her captors and commandeered an Imperial shuttle . While the two women toyed with the idea of returning to Chandrila since the shuttle had the proper clearance codes , they decided to stay after learning that Sloane was traveling with Niima the Hutt to a mysterious facility in the Plaintive Hand plateau . After hugging Norra and Jas , Bones continued the journey with them . During the journey , Niima ' s caravan was attacked by turbolaser s from the mysterious Imperial facility . The attack had been ordered by Counselor to the Empire Gallius Rax , the true architect behind the Attack on Chandrila who had usurped Sloane ' s leadership of the Imperial remnants . Bones and his companions traveled on their shuttle towards the valley below the Plaintive Hand plateau , where the survivors had gathered . Before they could capture Sloane and her companion Brentin , Gallius Rax arrived with three shuttles and took Sloane and Brentin prisoner . Despite this setback , Norra ' s team found an unlikely ally in the form of Niima . In return for bring the wounded Hutt back to her headquarters , Niima agreed to give them the clearance codes needed to enter Gallius Rax ' s Imperial base , where Sloane and Brentin were held . Niima also furnished them with an old Imperial shuttle and old Imperial uniforms . However , none of the uniforms fit the seasoned battle droid . Before they could leave , Jas was cornered by the bounty hunters Mercurial Swift , Embo , Dengar , and the Rodian Jeeta . While Jas distracted the bounty hunters , Bones and Norra departed on the shuttle for the Imperial base . Their departure coincided with the beginning of the climatic Battle of Jakku , which ended the Galactic Civil War in the New Republic ' s favor . Battle of Jakku . Norra and Mister Bones ' stolen Imperial shuttle soon found itself in a thick aerial battle over the skies of Jakku . Due to the damage he had sustained earlier , Mister Bones began to malfunction and made a remark about blasting meatbags , momentarily mistaking Norra for Temmin . After realizing his error , Bones apologized . Their shuttle was soon pursued by a T - 65C - A2 X - wing starfighter piloted by Temmin . Temmin had convinced Wedge Antilles to re - establish Phantom Squadron and enter the battle . Temmin disabled one of the shuttle ' s engines . Recognizing that his master was flying the X - wing , Bones lowered the shuttle ' s ramp and waved to Temmin . Bones broadcast his voice into the com of Temmin ' s X - wing . Bones used his mechanical systems to improvise a com so that Temmin and his mother could talk . Norra told her son that she was heading to an Imperial base in the Sinking Fields . She also mentioned that she had Mister Bones with her and that the droid had saved her live . Norra also told Temmin not to follow her to the well - fortified Imperial base . Before returning to the dogfight , Temmin told Mister Bones to take care of his mother , something which Roger promised that he would do . Norra managed to land the shuttle at the main Imperial base . She and Mister Bones then cornered Sloane and Brentin , who had just freed themselves of their restraints . Due to Brentin ' s unwilling role in the Attack on Chandrila , Norra was initially hostile towards her husband and told him to get his hands off her . Following Norra ' s cue , Bones grabbed his wrist and smashed Brentin against the wall , telling him that he had hurt Temmin . Norra then told Bones not to hurt Brentin , who reassured Norra that he was not with the Empire . Norra then told Sloane that she was taking the Grand Admiral back to Chandrila to face justice . However , Sloane instead convinced the Wexleys to help her take down Gallius Rax , the true mastermind behind the Liberation Day attack . She also told them that Rax had a secret facility in the Plaintive Hand plateau known as the Jakku Observatory . Norra made peace with both Sloane and Brentin , and the group headed towards the Jakku Observatory . Last stand . While traveling on the stolen shuttle , Mister Bones and the others witnessed the Super Star Destroyer " Ravager " crashing onto Jakku ' s surface . The " Ravager " had once been Sloane ' s command ship until Rax had usurped her authority . The destruction of the " Ravager " turned the tide of the battle in the New Republic ' s favor . Bones ' antennae soon detected the presence of Temmin nearby . Bones obtained Norra ' s permission to leave the ship and find Temmin , whose X - wing had been downed by space wreckage . He then entered into his wheel configuration and rolled down the ramp . Mister Bones reached Temmin just in time to save the boy from being killed by three sandtrooper s and an AT - ST walker . Bones leapt down from the head of the AT - ST and killed two of the stormtroopers with his vibroblades . The third stormtrooper tried to shoot Bones but Temmin clubbed him in the head with a rifle . Bones then dodged the AT - ST ' s cannons and climbed the walker . He broke into the cockpit and proceeded to kill the AT - ST driver s . Bones then popped out of the walker wearing a pair of black - lens goggles . Before the two could engage in conversation , the AT - ST walker was destroyed by two passing A - wing fighters . Legacy . Mister Bones was permanently disintegrated during the explosion . All that remained of him were his seared , melted limbs . Temmin wept on the battlefield for his lost best friend . However , Bones ' loss was not in vain . Meanwhile , Norra , Brentin , and Sloane managed to stop Gallius Rax from detonating the planet Jakku as part of the Emperor ' s Contingency plan to destroy both the Empire and the New Republic fleet . Offworld , Chancellor Mon Mothma and Grand Vizier Mas Amedda signed the Galactic Concordance , which ended the Galactic Civil War . Under the terms of the Concordance , the Empire capitulated and was formally dissolved . However , Imperial holdouts across the galaxy continued resisting the New Republic for months . Following the Galactic Concordance , Temmin buried Mister Bones ' droid arm with his father , Brentin , who had perished on Jakku at the hands of Gallius Rax . Per Akiva tradition , Brentin was buried in a salt mire so that his remains would be consumed by nature . During the funeral , a tearful Temmin told Bones to watch over his late father and to keep him safe . Over the next twenty - nine years , his former master Temmin would become a starfighter pilot in the New Republic Starfighter Corps before joining the Resistance . During the conflict between the Resistance and the First Order , whilst evading capture from the First Order Security Bureau ' s Agent Terex and his Ranc gang . Poe Dameron was cornered in a cave on a desert planet along with droids C - 3PO and N1 - ZX , while the rest of Dameron ' s fighter squad , Black Squadron , fought above the planet against Terex ' s ships . Unable to give aerial support to his squad leader , Temmin sent Dameron a droid personality template to fight the Rancs , explaining that he always carried the code with him for good luck . Once uploaded into N1 - ZX , the commando droid identified itself as " Mister Bones , " and in a style reminiscing the original Mister Bones , slaughtered the gang while singing . Although his intervention served to save Dameron and buy him time , only a few moments after slaying the whole gang , the droid itself was decapitated by Agent Terex himself . Characteristics . Unlike other droids of his classification , Mister Bones was re - purposed with various combat droid programs , martial arts videos , the movement style of General Grievous , and the body - mapped maneuvers of Ryloth la - ley dancer s . Because of his unique programming , he had developed a very strong sense of individual personality and an almost human - like bond with his master Temmin Wexley . While he was ruthless in combat , he was obedient and affectionate towards Temmin . He also came to respect and develop an affection for Temmin ' s mother , Norra ; on one occasion , he expressed relief that she had not perished when her TIE fighter crashed . After Temmin joined his mother ' s team , Mister Bones became the group ' s unofficial comedian and had a habit of singing and dancing for the fun of it . While Mister Bones was affectionate towards Temmin ' s friends and family , he was also capable of violence . On one occasion , he caught a butterfly and ripped off its wings for fun . Mister Bones was also perceptive enough to read Temmin ' s facial expressions and body language and could discern when he was upset . Mister Bones was loyal and devoted to his master Temmin . Under Temmin ' s orders , Bones protected Norra during a dangerous mission to find Rae Sloane on Jakku . He was also programmed with ARM , allowing him to repair himself even after all his limbs had been dismembered . Despite his playful and sarcastic sense of humor , Bones could also be violent and once ripped the sadistic Imperial officer Effney to shreds for disintegrating him . Bones also had a child - like understanding of events and hurled Brentin against the wall since he had unwillingly hurt Temmin earlier on Chandrila . Bones ' death was mourned by Temmin , who had lost the droid he regarded as his best friend . Equipment . Mister Bones was a highly modified B1 battle droid . Although maintaining the core structure of a B1 , he was painted black and red with the bone s of bird s , fish , and other animals bound to his limb s and body . At least one of his limbs was equipped with a vibrating blade . Half of his head was removed and replaced with a telescoping red eye , and the nose was sharpened to a fine point to resemble a bird of prey . After being severely damaged while saving Temmin from a group of Imperial stormtroopers and gang members , Temmin was forced to replace one of Bones ' arms with an astromech droid arm found in his aunt ' s house . Mister Bones quickly learned how to use the inferior limb as an effective bludgeoning tool when facing off against his foes . Following the rebellion on Akiva , Mister Bones was rebuilt by Temmin and Norra . His frame now incorporated half a dozen extra joints which gave the droid a greater degree of contortion than the original B1 battle droids . At the advice of Jas Emari , Temmin also removed his decorative little bones to give the droid better stealth . Bones was also dexterous enough to capture a butterfly in his grasp . After losing an arm and bending his metal leg at Ashmead ' s Lock , Temmin managed to repair the droid using parts salvage from the " Millennium Falcon " . Bones was capable of rebooting himself . He was also programmed with an ARM system that allowed him to repair himself . By the Battle of Jakku , Bones had begun to malfunction due to the damage he had sustained in frequent skirmishes . Behind the scenes . Mister Bones was created by Chuck Wendig for his 2015 novel , " Aftermath " . In an interview with " Entertainment Weekly " , Wendig revealed that Mister Bones ' name is derived from the phonetic spelling of his model , a B1 battle droid . Bones appears as a supporting character in Wendig ' s " " . In the third book of the trilogy , " , " Mister Bones has a line which was an apparent callback to HK - 47 ' s blunt , violent dialogue . In the story of the novel ; the droid suddenly " glitches , " his voice " warps , " then says " COMMENTARY : I SAY WE BLAST THE MEATBAG AND SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE , MASTER " with a " strange , hard - angle " accent .
