Unidentified EV-series sous-chef droid

An EV-series supervisor droid served as a sous-chef droid in the palace of Bib Fortuna, who had taken it over from its previous owner, Jabba the Hutt, following the crime lord's death. While the sous-chef droid worked in the palace kitchen alongside a COO-series cook droid, the two heard a noise from nearby. Though the EV-series assumed the disturbance was a rat, the source of the sound had been the former bounty hunter Boba Fett and Master Assassin Fennec Shand, who had infiltrated the palace to retrieve Fett's starship. The cook droid sent the EV-series to investigate, and the sous-chef droid came across an open grate that Fett and Shand had exited through. Realizing the noise had not been a rat, the sous-chef ordered its companion to call for security, but Fett knocked the EV-series droid down with his gaffi stick.
==Behind the scenes==
The sous-chef droid appeared in flashbacks during the fourth episode of the Disney+ streaming series The Book of Boba Fett. Although uncredited in the show itself, Sam Witwer provided the voice for the droid. During Celebration 2022, Witwer referred to the character as EV-9D9, stating that he modeled his performance after Richard Marquand's portrayal of that character in 1983's . However, Witwer's sous-chef is unlikely to be the same droid, as EV-9D9 was previously established to have become a bartender at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in the fifth episode of The Mandalorian, which takes place concurrently to Boba Fett flashbacks.
