There are a lot of battle droids in Star Wars. But OOM-9 is special. For starters, he has a unique name that still exists in modern Star Wars canon. Another cool thing about OOM-9: He shares a voice actor withnone other than Nintendo’s Mario. Not in the movie (and no, not with Chris Pratt’s Mario), but in the 2001 PC strategy game, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. In that game, players can be OOM-9 and lead his forces to victory on Naboo in a non-canon campaign. And that version is played by Charles Martinet, the same man who provides Mario and Luigi with their well-known voices. See, you thought this slideshow would just be a bunch of silly Star Wars nonsense, but now you’ve learned some Nintendo trivia, too!
