8D8 was an 8D smelter droid owned by Jabba the Hutt. Originally designed to work in smelting facilities, 8D8 was modified for use as a starship repair droid before coming into the Hutt’s possession. The insectoid verpine who manufactured the droid line designed them to resemble the Muun species, creating a somewhat intimidating, emaciated droid. Reprogrammed by EV-9D9, 8D8 became a sadistic torturer, working with both organics and other droids.

Segment ‘ Everything is important' —> EV-9D9 from The Star Wars Show! Damn, it’s all EV-9D9's fault! 😂 I love those segments!

In general, a droid’s basic programming requires it to be friendly and subservient to most sentient beings. EV-9D9 is noted exception; in fact, EV-9D9 actively dislikes most beings, and seems to have a pathological hatred for other droids.
