As soon as Star Tours came into business, which is now a couple of decades ago, Reubens Robotic Systems designed the RX droid series as specialized pilots for the Starspeeder 3000 spacecraft. As is the case with many other aspects of the Star Tours undertaking, the RX droid is a pinnacle of efficiency. The care and attention that were put in the design of the RX droids can perhaps best be illustrated by the fact that it was Company Executive Officer Paul Reubens himself who lent his voice to the droids. The RX model packs the maximum amount of piloting capabilities into a minimum amount of space. This has as a side effect, however, that the design is not as aesthetically pleasing as is the case with many other droid series.

There have been three models, and dozens of sub-models in the RX series. The one currently in service is the RX-24 model. It seems to be quite popular among passengers and consequently is in no danger of losing its favorable status within the Star Tours company.

Rex has a bit of a willful character, which is quite uncommon for a droid so fresh off the assembly line. While it is normal for droids to develop distinct characteristics, this usually happens only after the droid has been allowed to function for a long time without the regularly scheduled memory wipes. The Personality Matrix of an RX droid is already of the complex kind, and it has been theorized by Mr. Reubens that this droid developed some strange traits during his first shakedown flight, which can be called “erratic” at best.

The RX unit pictured at right is the unfortunate predecessor of RX-24. He suffered severe damage on one of the Tours he was piloting and had to be submitted for repairs. G2-3B is currently tackling the complicated task of repairing RX, but has had little luck in doing so for almost two decades now… yet he keeps working tirelessly, as only a droid can.
