Akar Duel, residing on Lotho Minor, fashioned a junk droid by attaching the head of an EV unit to it. This junk droid, due to a restraining bolt, was programmed to perceive Duel as its Maker and obediently followed him. Upon observing C-3PO, this droid, along with the other junk droids Duel had constructed, understood the potential for droid autonomy and subsequently rebelled against their creator, Akar Duel.
