Clanker was a slang term used to refer to droids[1] coined by the clone troopers of the Republic Military,[2] who faced off against the battle droids of the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars. During the war, "clanker" was often used as a term for battle droids,[1] particularly the B1-series battle droid,[3] because the joints and metal bodies of battle droids "clanked" as they moved.[4] The term was used to denote other droids as well;[5][6] for example, Kthoo-Ra addressed a damaged service droid as "dumb clanker."[7]
The motifs featured on the monitor of Lucky Shot, a slot machine found in Cid's Parlor, included an array of B1 battle droid heads. Fittingly enough, "clanker bonus" was written in Aurebesh above it.[8]
