The Big Picture The newest droid from a galaxy far, far, away just dropped, and you’re not gonna believe this — he’s adorable. So move over, B2EMO. Step aside, BD-1, Skedaddle, BB-8. It’s Pip’s time to shine. Making his debut appearance in the newest Disney+ series, The Acolyte, Pip joins the pantheon of droid companions in the Star Wars universe and easily ranks among the cutest, which is helped due to the fact he is preciously pocket-sized.
Don’t let his dimensions fool you. Pip’s the droid you are looking for when you’re in a jam. As a repair droid, Pip possesses a litany of different tools and abilities that make him an invaluable asset to Osha. Described by The Acolyte series creator Leslye Headland as a cross between “a Swiss Army Knife and an iPhone,” Pip is basically the droid version of MacGyver.
Having left the Jedi Order six years prior, Osha now makes a living as a "meknek," which essentially explains Pip’s presence on the show. While Pip is also a loyal friend, he provides a great deal of help too. In the world of Star Wars, "mekneks" is an abbreviated term for freelance starship technicians, and our new favorite droid happens to be an ace mechanic.
