Let's Read: The Han Solo Adventures (1979)

[pendell]

Grim Portent mentioned QT-KT, a female astrodroid.

Did anything canon ever spell this out? Is there a factory that makes specifically female astrodroids? Was it an aftermarket customization? Did the owner just start referring to the droid as female and QT picked up the cue? Or was QT-KT originally a stock droid which was left unwiped and developed a female personality, which is why the owner picked her up?

ETA: There's a touching story behind the real-world genesis of the series; the original was made as a gift for a young girl with terminal cancer and it was later ported to the animated series. I'm sure we think this is a great idea and a pure delight for the child. But it does leave the in-universe lore describing how the droid became female unanswered. I suppose this is a job for a nucanon author!

ETA: The latest chapter is up . Don't want it to get lost in the rest of the conversation.
