‘Star Wars: Episode VII’: Leaked Droid Description Hints Artoo-Detoo's Daughter As Kira's Sidekick

"Star Wars: Episode VII" is still a year away but already more and more leaks have been shared online regarding the production. This time, Artoo-Detoo's daughter is supposedly one of the characters in the movie based on the recent leaked droid description.

Jason Ward over at MakingStarWars claimed he saw some concept photos of the droid in "Star Wars: Episode VII." This droid is believed to be Kira's (Daisy Ridley) side-kick and even helped her rescue a Stormtrooper from a crashed ship. The International Business Times once described this ship to be a TIE-Fighter. John Boyega is said to be the pilot as he is a member of the Special Forces.

Kira's sidekick supposedly resembles Arto-Detoo in many ways based on its physical description. Thus, Ward assumes it could be Artoo-Detoo's daughter. One concept photo shows its head "somewhat similar to a Pit Droid in some concept with Artoo-Detoo markings and features. "According to Ward the droid's head is shaped like a dome, similar to "an Artoo unit in most designs."

Another concept photo for the droid in "Star Wars: Episode VII" shows its head covered with four orange-coloured, pizza-shaped sections "all pointing towards the center of the dome, sort of like Artoo." These sections supposedly lift up to eject a lightsabre that allows a "hand to grip and extract." The droid is said to be a gyroscope. The concept photo supposedly shows some groves along its body. So while the body rolls on the ground its head would reportedly remain leveled. Ward supposed the droid could be represented through CGI and a "mixture of puppetry."

Comprising the droid's body are said to be small circles used as storage compartments. One is used to hide a lightsabre. There's a "Pop-out tool-kit" that supposedly "shoots out like a computer's disc drive" to reveal some screwdrivers and "hydrospanner-like tools" inside. The other circle is said to be broken into quads. One of these quads according to Ward is a "Data Port Interface" that "comes out like Artoo-Detoo's arm." Two more quads are shown in the photo. The "Fold Out Hand/Claw" features fingertips that can type on a computer, while the "Fold out Tools Laser Cutter" quad supposedly reveals a pen-sized hand with a laser tip.

According to Ward, concept photos of Kira in "Star Wars: Episode VII" always show her with the droid. Despite its size, said to be slightly bigger than a basketball, the droid is shown always poised for battle alongside the heroes. It's even believed to be the adventurous and curious type. It can even defend itself. According to Ward, the photo shows the droid being lifted up by a Stormtrooper. However, it unleashes "mechanical quills" out of its body to supposedly fend off attackers.
