The Droid with a Destiny (to Fail)

Meet the unsung hero of the Rebellion: the official LEGO® Star Wars R5-D4 Astromech Droid. As seen in Star Wars: A New Hope, this is the very droid Owen Lars almost purchased from the Jawas before his motivator famously blew, leading to the selection of R2-D2 and setting the entire saga in motion. This little red droid is a piece of cinematic history!

Classic Design, Memorable Details

This minifigure perfectly captures the look of the classic Kenner-inspired astromech. Key features include:

• The unique truncated cone head, setting him apart from other R-series droids.
• A clean white body with detailed red and dark blue panel printing.
• Multiple photoreceptors printed on his head, giving him a distinct look.

Build Your Tatooine Scene

R5-D4 is an absolutely essential character for any MOC of the Lars Homestead or a Jawa Sandcrawler. Recreate the iconic droid sale scene by lining him up with other droids for inspection.

He's the perfect companion for any Tatooine diorama, adding authenticity and a fun story moment to your collection. No lineup of classic astromech droids is complete without the one that had a "bad motivator."
