Legend

this was the name of the small, face-shaped, miniature translation droid built by C-3PO and Chewbacca to help Chewie's nephew, Lowbacca, communicate with the students and instructors at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. When Lowie was kidnapped by Tamith Kai, she had Em Teedee reprogrammed to spout Imperial doctrine whenever he talked with Lowie. The little droid was quickly repaired by Jaina Solo and Lowie upon his return to the Jedi Academy, and given the ability to communicate in six unique langauges. As the other student on Yavin 4 learned more and more of the Wookiee language, M-TD's primary function became less important. However, with the help of other students, he obtained new programming and learned new ways to be of assistance. M-TD proved useful in starship navigation and repair, as well as communications and remote slicing. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, M-TD was lost when Lowbacca managed to escape from the Tachyon Flier. The small droid was destroyed in the crash, although its carcass was later discovered in the Unknown Regions by Jacen Solo, when he visited the site of The Crash.
