The MD-15C medical droid represented a specific type of medical droid, characterized by its humanoid form and white-colored exterior plating. These droids possessed a pair of arms, each equipped with adaptable modular connection points at the elbow, and their faces lacked distinct features in order to present a reassuring presence. As a more advanced iteration compared to the 2-1B surgical droid, it boasted a significantly expanded information repository, enabling it to provide medical care for a substantially greater number of species.
One such MD-15C medical droid was assigned to a private medical bay located within the Resistance's MC85 Star Cruiser known as the Raddus. It provided treatment to General Leia Organa in that location during the year 34 ABY, following injuries she sustained during a attack launched by the First Order against the Resistance fleet.
The initial on-screen appearance of an MD-15C medical droid occurred in the motion picture Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, which premiered on December 15, 2017. While the droid's designation was not explicitly stated within the film itself, its identification was established in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: The Visual Dictionary, a supplementary publication authored by Pablo Hidalgo and published concurrently with the movie's release.
