Droid looks like something a former Imperial starfighter technician would build as a sentry droid to protect a hideout after deserting the Empire. Something Mando might come across in Season 3 while trying to find this important former technician for some reason.

That cape is so jaunty! I love the idea of him picking it off of a scrap pile and thinking "yeah, this is class". Also I'm surprised that the design language of the Zaku kit meshes so well with the Star Wars parts!! It's funny, I've built a bunch of Bandai's Gundam models but none of the Star Wars ones. I'll have to remedy that soon!

Sooo, did you try a Star wars model kit yet
This is a true work of art, design and creativity. Thanks for sharing your love for this line of art. The character makes me feel like he is a humble tempol protector of families that live far away in the woods , the jungle. The people escape from the empire and are kind of one with the land. The kids love him because he brings food and make toys for them.
Wait, you did NOT follow the instructions???? : O

Wait, your kits come with "instructions"...? Huh, mine only come with painting drop cloth papers, they are really convenient for not getting paint all over my desk. 😃
Various junk from astromech droids combined to form a vessel for a poor junker/scavenger dying of a lesser known disease, the scavenger managed to copy his personality into his creation, but after his creator died he left and started to form a personality of his own. What he is looking for is not very well known, but I can tell you that part of the junk he is built out of is an old lightsaber containing a kyber-crystal. Very cool droid, never expected the end result to have so much personality, yet look so much like a real Star Wars creation straight out of the movies.
Ok, so...I feel like I need to know more about you and how you got into this niche area of artistic expression. I really appreciate your humor and I feel like there’s a reason for it. Great build!

Model kits shudder when they end up in your shopping cart! 🤣 Nicely done!
This droid looks beautiful, I love the paint job too. As far as back story... I don't know yet. But he is welcome on my junk planet.
This Droid looks like it's been walking for a long time so I'd say that perhaps something happened to those who created it (perhaps bandits or the like) and they stole the droid's controller unknowingly (thinking it valuable) so rather than hunting them down to seek vengence for it's fallen creators- It's forced to track the bandits completely undetected by them in order to take it back. I figure instead of being motivated by emotion, this droid really just wants the freedom to get offworld and function peacefully. Whether or not you like that idea: there's plenty of room to build off of it or change it around. None the less it's an awesome build, you never miss.

Nice! Bouncing off your idea, maybe the droid's goal is simply to find their creator, and the faraway signal device thing that would help it find them was hijacked/looted by said bandits?

I get Wally vibes
The droid really gives me the vibes of some sort of pilgrim. It looks like it has been wandering for many years in search of whatever it is looking for
Love Jude’s droid! I love that he inspired you to build your own too. It turned out amazing
I can actually see that as a BLACK SERIES figure... outstanding job.
Since you said renfaire, I thought of a backstory for the *Squire droid;* _Once upon a time. There was a Mighty Warrior and their Droid. The Droid admired their Master so much, they wanted to be just like them. Many years ago, the Master disappeared one day, having left and never returning. Since then, the Droid has taken it upon themselves to improve their skills and abilities on their own._ *_The Droid wanders that land as a sort of junior rōnin or knight; helping small villages, saving fair maidens, defeating monsters, and gaining strength, One day hoping to find their old master and show them what they've achieved._*

That's great creativity 👍
Junk Droids are one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars lore
Lucas films is just around the corner for you. Love this droid mate amazing imagination 👍
This guy has so much personality, the cape was a great touch 👍
Excellent work. This is far more Star Wars than anything Disney has ever made!
Love the droid that your nephew made!
I shouted “YES!” when I got a notification that you uploaded again. I simply can’t get enough of what you do on this channel :) I would love to see more Star Wars inspired ideas for the Wild Imaginary West. Perhaps the cowboys come across a large wreck of unknown technological parts in the desert?? Keep up the good work as always :)
I'm glad that contrast trick worked out :) And thank you for the mention!
Great work. I'm enjoying all the entries, such a good idea.
“Thank the Maker”. Hopefully soon he can get an oil bath. 😄
Your nephew has a great imagination. Love the build great job.
"ITS ALIVE!!!!" Great build bud. Sunday is complete.
Your nephew's droid was amazing! yours too ofc
I love this lil guy! He’s so cute and so well made! Fantastic job
Renaissance fair hahaha.. I think creators are their own biggest critics. The droid is awesome :)
The model is great, but the painting really looks outstanding!
I don't know why, but i truly love all of your droids and walkers! You're so inspiring, thank you for what you're doing ❤️
Everything about this build is cool!
That was one of your best creations I think. And your nephews robot was awesome
I feel so sorry for Droids, they’re so used and abused! One Droid is an Appliance- a Million Droids- that’s a Nation! Superb Build! Best
Beautiful work!! He gives me a Don Quixote vibe! I envision that he was programmed to locate something but his ship crashed on the wrong planet. After multiple replacements of his failing machinery, his quest has evolved in fantastic ways!
Amazing build as always! The droid kinda gives me the vibes of an old mechanic droid left abandoned for decades after an imperial raid wiped out the rebel outpost it worked on. Maybe in the first order era? I don't know, it feels like a wise droid surviving undercover and passing on the knowledge and hope that the rebellion gave them.
Maybe a homemade droid the Jawas cobbled together (like you did) from spare parts as a droid-Friday helping around the sand crawler? Nice piece, and I really like the faded paint effects. Will have to try that out.
That's so cool, just having the skill to sit there and make this, off your head amazes me.
0:02 kid has a bright future as a Star Wars fan! Keep creating little man!
That's a rusty beauty! To me, it looks like this droid was supposed to be a companion or patrol bot, helping others pathfinder or defend against smaller life-forms. It's tall because tall droids are intimidating to most sentients, and the staff would provide rudimentary combat capabilities. It's definitely been damaged, or had parts wear out, and someone added bits to it to try and compensate. Perhaps it still serves It's purpose, or it could be just another forsaken droid, wandering aimlessly through the jungle.
I liked seeing all the things the other creators built at the start, then I see North of the Border's and it is so funny to me, I remember watching that video, but seeing it here again is just so comical.
Guitar Strings! What an awesome idea! I’m definitely incorporating that in the future.
Super buid, love it. Cape gives a nice contrast
People like you are geniuses, it's insane how great eveyrthing looks.
He could be an Astromech that learned so much that he was able to augment himself to have legs and arms and speak and fight and shit. A real survivor!
Just can’t get over that “priming moment” when it all just comes together like a freaking magic trick.
The S1scrapper: a droid designed to clean up the trash of the warhammer world. But a glitch happened giving this one a personality making it able to live it’s own life. But as years went on the rest of the S1 droids we’re schrapt for better ones. This. One tho was able to stay under radar but it continued to breakdown over time. It Being sentient it was still able to survive. It even collecting the cape of a deceased great bounty hunter fobo bet. It still lives to this day picking up trash.
Such a beautiful build. Keep working on your painting. Both zenith all highlights and washes mute colors, don't be afraid to be more bold with your painting.
I feel like he would be a monk wandering the universe trying to experience all that the galaxy has to offer
Wow! And bonus points for the 52miniatures shout-out!
Your art is so powerful it creates worlds in my imagination
Thanks so much for organising this collab. It has been so much fun working with all you guys. Loved your droid! I was worried by the pastel vibe for a moment but I knew how it ended up! Great work as always.
Missed this while I was on vacation, glad it came back around. Thanks for sharing.
That turned out really good looking. As you were working, I had a story come to mind... hope you don't mind my sharing at this late date. I think this droid "woke up" next to a scrap pile with a sudden beep and quiet whirr. He was small, had wheels and only one "arm" with a grabber at the end. He couldn't remember who or what he was, what had happened, where he was from... or where he was. He did know he didn't feel well. So he began to rummage through the things that were next to him, trying to find something that would make him feel better. A small amount of fluid helped, but there was still something not quite right. He found a metal book that had plans in it for various droid types and he finally figured out that he needed to change a particular part. It had something to do with power. His was cracked and leaking. He found one that was similar on a lump of... something... and was able to replace the one attached to his top. After he'd finished, he got to thinking and came up with the idea that he could change himself to be like one of those other droids in his book. And so, his journey began. As he traversed the land, he saw that only devastation remained, but had no idea why or whether this was normal for where he was. He seemed to be all alone. As he wandered, he stopped at places, found bits of this and that, compared them to the pictures and drawings in his book, and added what he felt he wanted to keep. Over his travels, he replaced his wheels, which were hard to get around on in this dry climate, with legs and feet. His single appendage became arms and hands with fingers. He changed his head and body as well... and kept changing his parts until one day there was nothing of the old him left. Finally he felt he might be perfect... and he stopped changing.
Like it. Abandoned sentry. Tip of staff could be illuminated. Battery in base. Needs something in left hand...binoculars, drone, weapon, tool, or shield.
Droid “Shepherd” that lost his flock. Great video. Great build as always.
You have a vivid imagination, and a good eye for adding greeblies! Keep up the good (and inspirational) work!
"semi articulated droid hips..." wait for it. "...that do not lie." There it is!
I like the idea of someone turning an Astromech into some kind of Protocol droid, like they added the limbs and the staff being more less a walking stick for the droid.
Wonderful build, once Iv finished my Mando build I shall get back to scratch and mid bashing
Another great build! For back story, the robot looks like something built from the junk pile by a group of people stranded on the planet (like the Kurt Russell movie “soldier”, good flick if you can watch). After the humans leave he was left to his own devices to wander around for hundreds of years looking for a purpose - pose, and use of gizmology was spot on!
Super creative project and it was cool that you showed the other builder's droids as well. Love the weathering and the base!
I am loving your new projects! It’s like whenever you bring something new to the table it’s better than the one before!
The colors and the cape give a Boba Fett look. I really like the overall appearance.
I love kitbashing this droid looks awesome
Nothing wrong with the Renn faire! The droid is ready for jousting!
This droid makes me think of a wandering scrapper that just hasn't found his "treasure" yet ^_^.
Good! Is an understatement!! 😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Awww that’s so cute how he built that lego droid
That is beautiful. I love this build, my friend you have an amazing talent for art. 👍✊🏽
Wow 😮 that looks like a real model that’s awesome 👍
Id hire his droid in a heart beat! It looks great!
Absolutely love the paint job m8 ! Fantastic weathering with those washes.
After the battle of Jakku, he was found badly damaged but still operational by scavengers going through old Imperial Star Destroyers. They decided to rebuild him so he could help protect them from people who would steal their haul. Part of the upgrade was combat protocols from an old IG-100 Magnaguard which made the droid extremely proficient with melee weapons, particularly staffs.
The model is beautiful, thanks for sharing
Love Jude's Droid, it's really awesome that it inspired you to create your Junk Droid. I'm definitely gonna check out some of those recommended videos.
Really like your concepts Def got a unique style , plus that washed out paint enhancement.
Great work, Jude...you are the dude. Scrap droid was pretty good, too. (Awesome work on both..🤘😊❤)
Amazing, so great how the different parts came together! Such a good result too! Thanks for inviting us to take part 👊👊
Awesome build! Thank you so much for including us!
your videos are so awesome and your art is amazing
Watching on the beach in Jamaica! You’re awesome!
I'm getting very adult-version WALL-E vibes and I love it. Maybe this little guy's from an adult graphic novel involving a droid wandering a junk planet for hundreds of years, knowing nothing of an outside world, Plato's cave style?
It's a very good conversion, really impressive, fantastic job
Definitely leveling up your painting and weathering! Awesome man.
Your videos are soooo good and I like your Design. 👍🏻
"Good" indeed. Amazing excellence.
An Astromec that has gone rogue from its programming and has spent years upgrading itself, whether be from junk or hunting down other droids, in the pursuit to wonder the galaxy as a free spirit with no limitations.
That’s R4-5T “Arfur.” He was a simple maintenance droid on a Trandoshan slaver ship 85 years BBY. His programming was to maintain and repair the ship. The ship landed on Felucia but all crew were killed by the local wildlife, and the ship mostly destroyed. Arfur was left alone in the camp site, and with nothing else to do he began to repair the ship as he was programmed to do. He has made self-repairs and upgrades along the way. Now he endlessly wanders the jungles of Felucia collecting all the metal parts he can find in a futile attempt to rebuild/repair the ship he arrived on.
I love your work, its so amazing!
The music you played at the end when displaying the droid was simply outstanding. It somehow perfectly fitted the vibe of the droid, and I loved the atmosphere it created. I'm really impressed!
What a fantastic build and great idea to invite your KZread peers to give this sort of build a try. Bravo!!
This looks so cool I've never seen anything like that great job
This could be a great start for a starwars universe similar to your futuristic wild west one!
Very cool droid, love all the details and the cape is a nice touch. Everyone in the collab did a great job, I think Docs is my favourite but they're all fantastic builds. Looking forward to seeing more of Jude's work, great work on the pit droid.
This was probably one of my favorite Star Wars-esque builds, and the podracer video. I just like the kit-bashing videos. Keep it up! :)
He was an abandoned R4 unit on Bracca that gained a sentience and built himself a body to traverse the planet easier.
I'm a huge SW fan and this is just amazing. It absolutely matches the aesthetics of the saga and the philosophy behind them.
No Gundam is safe on Boylei's Worlds. "I used to be a Gungam, until I took a Boylei to the knee." Adding a little Wild West mini to the base of this diorama could add another great piece to your western setting; a gigantic rust-bot.
