It's a talking eye on a stalk imbedded in a door. When it's not greeting someone, what the devil does it do?

I always thought there was someone behind the door using that probe thingy and it wasn't a droid at all. Maybe I'm wrong.

I always saw that thing as a security camera-type device rather than an actual droid.

Perhaps it sings. Can't have much company. I'd be so bored... tired

Doesn't it laugh at one point? It makes sense for it to be an intercom device, and I assume Bib is behind the mic.

I wonder if Avon and Jehovah's Witnesses go there and what fun the eye has.

It's called TT-8L btw.

Wow! I'm a hardcore SW fan from the original days of the OT, but I never knew the eye droid had a name.

I am in the presence of greatness.

I thought VLM just made that name up and it just meant something funny that I didn't get last night.

I was half-right. It's meant to evoke "tattletale" but that's official doh!

Maybe there are more eye droids that all pop out and try to snag visitors in greeting and he got it that day?

There was no one on the other side when the door opened. Unless he scurried off before C-3PO could see him.

True, but did you notice how long that probe thing was? Much longer than the door was thick. I thought someone was on the inside and used the probe kind of like a telescope or something.

Yeah, I always got the impression that it was a telescope type thing. Why would a droid want to look at them?

It's not completely inside the door.

I doubt that the droid is actually an intercom.

This is Star Wars, droids do tasks that are boring, like greeting people and replacing windows when Jedi jump through them.

Besides, it's pretty clear that Jabba has a limitless supply of money. Cost-effectiveness of a droid vs. staff isn't a concern.

Jabba has also demonstrated that he doesn't care about how others feel (since he has, you know, slaves) so I'm sure he doesn't care if a droid sits around being bored. Heck, he even had a droid torture chamber.

Everytime I see that droid eye stalk on the palace door I start thinking of Flight of the Navigator
