The Mandalorian has a distrust for all droids that stems from the fact that battle droids attacked his home planet and killed his parents during the Clone Wars when he was a child. In his first appearance, IG-11 is a member of the Bounty Hunters' Guild, and attempts to capture an unidentified living being, which is also being sought by a fellow bounty hunter known as the Mandalorian, the show's protagonist. He is an IG-series assassin droid, a dangerous model that has largely been outlawed. IG-11 was in three episodes in the first season of The Mandalorian, making his first appearance in the series premiere episode " Chapter 1: The Mandalorian", which first aired on November 12, 2019.

His transformation from bounty hunter to protector drew discussions about nature versus nurture and the sentience of droids in the Star Wars universe. IG-11 is based on and closely resembles another Star Wars bounty hunter named IG-88 created by George Lucas, so much so that fans and journalists initially mistook IG-11 for the other droid when the character was first unveiled.Īlthough capable of great destruction, IG-11 also occasionally provides comedic moments in The Mandalorian, and Waititi felt the character had a childlike innocence and naivety. Waititi said he tried to create a voice that lacked human emotion while still maintaining some semblance of humanity and described his performance as a cross between Siri and HAL 9000.

Following IG-11's destruction, its remains are rebuilt as IG-12, a pilotable exoskeleton to be controlled by the Child, then after further destruction, is rebuilt again, this time with a recycled memory circuit, to serve as city marshal of Nevarro.
