==Behind the scenes==
An R-H029 sifter droid first appeared in the 2015 sequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. The droid was not identified in the film itself but received a name in Star Wars: The Force Awakens: The Visual Dictionary, a reference book written by Pablo Hidalgo and released in conjunction with the film.
The R-H029 was originally designed to be a lightweight costume that appeared on the planet Jakku, and was inspired by a stilt walker with four extendable crutches that creature creative supervisor Neal Scanlan brought into the creature design workshop. Concept art of the droid was drawn by senior sculptor Luke Fisher on November 27, 2013.
