Class 3

Pilot Battle Droids is a Star Wars minifigure first introduced in 2001.

Description[]

6 versions of the Pilot Battle Droid have been released:

The first had blue markings on half the torso only, but the second version's torso was completely blue. In 2011, a third redesigned version of the minifigure was released. This variant has the same pieces as the others; however, the torso piece is largely blue with tan printing on the front. In 2015, the fourth and fifth version were introduced: they came with a battle droid arm mold, so that a gun could be held in one hand. In 2024, it was redesigned again, this time in celebration of 25 years of LEGO Star Wars.

Background[]

Pilot Battle Droids are specialized Battle Droids that are programmed to pilot any vessel used by the Trade Federation or Confederacy of Independent Systems. They also had backup systems that could work out how to pilot a vehicle, even if it's controls were previously unrecognized. From large Banking Clan Frigates to small shuttles, these droids were occasionally used for carrying ammunition, or manning various stations or piloting starships.
