Biography


J1-KC was one of several R-series astromech droids that was purchased by the Lurmen Jat Kaa from Mubo, the owner of the Droid Depot in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu. Kaa, who owned Jat Kaa's Coolers, reprogramed J1-KC and the other droids to drive small purpose-built carts around the outpost selling the beverages Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Dasani water to visitors.

The droid was carrying out this purpose during the occupation of Batuu by the First Order in 34 ABY. The author Eloc Throno mentioned J1-KC and its colleagues in his book, Traveler's Guide to Batuu. J1-KC was attached to its cart via a cable and its stock of beverages was regularly restocked by deliveries from the droids J4-KC and J5-KC, who each drove their own carts.

Characteristics


Both J1-KC and its cart were painted in a red and white color scheme matching the colors of the Coca-Cola bottles. The droid's sensor was also red and it had an R5 dome. Like all R-series astromech droids, J1-KC was manufactured by Industrial Automaton.

Behind the scenes


J1-KC appeared as an animatronic prop within the themed land Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which opened to guests at Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2019.
