In June, Aragorn sent in a report that talked about characters and
places that could possibly be in Episode III. This time he has some
information about a series of droids that I think we will see in
Episode III.
"I just read about IG-88 in the Official Star Wars Fact
File from DeAgostini. It hasn't got much about IG-88's specific
lifetime, but it explains why the designers created the IG
series."
"It goes on to explain that the Empire employed the
designers to created a squadron of deadly, unemotional droids
equipped with formidable armoury to quash the Rebellion in the early
days of the Rebellion."
"The IG-88 series (containing five IGs, IG-88A to
IG-88E), upon activation, destroyed their designers so that the
series' flaws could never be exploited when it came time to destroy
the series."
"The IG series, like all technologies, fell into the
wrong hands: warlords, crime-lords, and so on used them for their
dirty work. One particular IG-88, the one from Empire Strikes Back,
is inspired to embark on a long and ghastly spin as a Bounty Hunter.
As you see, it doesn't go into much detail about the specific IG
from ESB."
Thanks for the great report Aragorn! I really think we will see a
IG-88 type of droid in Episode III, but only time will tell for
sure.
