Kemp, Lott
this man, a crystal merchant from the planet Dodz, was once the owner of R2-D2 and C-3PO, during the decade leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Shortly before he was to take ownership of the droids, his home was destroyed by Governor Kugg's droid, the Destroyer. Kemp managed to escape from the droid with his life, and left Dodz behind. This also left R2-D2 and C-3PO without a master, until the Intergalactic Droid Agency could recover them and find them a new master.
