PD-28

PD-28 was a pilot droid who was forced to serve the Galactic Empire's Doctor Raygar. In 3 ABY, Raygar tried to steal the artifact known as the Sunstar from the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor. On his way there, he captured several young Ewoks—Wicket Warrick, Latara, Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, and Teebo—who ended up imprisoned on Raygar's freighter. PD-28 tried to bring some food for the prisoners, but an Imperial droid forcibly stopped him. Feeling bad for the Ewoks, PD snuck into their cell a different way and brought them food nonetheless. Thankful, the Ewoks devised a plan with the droid to escape together, getting out in an escape pod.

The party flew to the Ewoks' Bright Tree Village, but they were too late: Raygar had already invaded and stolen the Sunstar. Afterward, while discussing the possibility of retrieving the artifact, Latara accidentally activated the pod once again, leading PD and the other young Ewoks to jump in before it flew away. PD helped them navigate to Raygar's Star Destroyer, which they boarded.

Once onboard, PD tried to claim that his lateness was due to the Ewoks capturing him, but Imperial Admiral Kazz was unimpressed and ordered him recycled. The four Ewoks who had accompanied him split up, with Warrick and Kintaka heading to save PD and Latara and Teebo going to try and recover the Sunstar. Following a short skirmish with Raygar, the Ewoks, along with PD-28, got the Sunstar back and brought it home to Bright Tree Village. PD then left the Ewoks to try and find his original master.
