UK2-B appeared in the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett on December 29, 2021. Chris Bartlett was credited in the episode as the performance artist of UK2-B, though it was not immediately clear which character in the episode this credit referred to. The episode also featured a different droid, 8D8, that was voiced by actor Matt Berry. Some fans and online publications assumed that Berry's character was in fact UK2-B, prompting Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo to clarify the identity of Bartlett's character on Twitter.
The costume Bartlett wore in The Book of Boba Fett was originally designed for the 2016 anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where it was used in scenes set on the planet Jedha. This version of the costume featured a different design for the droid's legs, necessitating that the performance artist walk on stilts for the role. Hidalgo described this droid as being of a "similar model" to that of UK2-B.
