Legend

known as Ellie, this humanoid LE-series droid was one of the many Imperial database access automata used during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa asked Ellie to located information on Tay Vanis, after Vanis disappeared with the plans to the second Death Star. This triggered a database warning, bringing Imperial troops down on the two rebels. The droid was hit be a stray blaster bolt during the firefight. Luke and Leia took Ellie with them when they escaped, earning her help in retrieving information. It was later revealed that Ellie was actually owned by Tay Vanis, who placed her in Imperial service because he had hidden the plans to the second Death Star in her memory banks. When she learned that Vanis had been tortured by Darth Vader, she turned the plans over to Luke and allowed the rebels to escape. Then, cluthing Vanis' body to her own, Ellie self-destructed, destroying the Imperial installation and killing Vanis, as well as the personnel who had held him prisoner.
