The eighth of twelve shorts part of the first season, released on YouTube on December 24, 2018.
Hype Fazon takes his astromech, R4-D77, to Flix and Orka because he thinks the droid might have a bad motivator. Flix points out that new motivators don't come cheap, and Orka pulls the reluctant astromech behind the counter to have a look, as an equally nervous Hype yells for them not to hurt the droid. Orka tells R4 he'll need to be shut down for a bit, which leads to a fight, as the droid deploys his spark projector in an effort to avoid it. As the Office of Acquisitions is thrown into a mess, Orka manages to climb onto R4 and shock him into a mechanical sleep. Flix, getting up, points out that wasn't so hard, and Orka sardonically agrees as he slumps to the floor.
Tropes:
- Call-Back: Just like Chopper, R4-D77 has a spark projector.
- Continuity Nod: R4's motivator needs looking at.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Both R4, who causes quite a ruckus trying to avoid getting shut down, and Orka, who manages to do the deed.
- Shock and Awe: R4 deploys his spark projector when trying to avoid being shut down.
- Verbed Title: "Unmotivated".
