T3, T7, P2, and R1-series Droids (Legends/Canon)
T3 Series (Legends/Canon)*
A utility/astromech droid manufactured by Duwani Mechanical Products
around 4,015 years before the Battle of Yavin.
The series remained popular for years during the Old Sith Wars.
Older similar-looking models included the 3C, IT, and the T1 series.
The T3 series was more advanced internally than its predecessors
and was used as a maintenance droid.
The famous droid T3-M4 (pictured below, left) was part of the series.
In the new canon, a droid of the series, appears as Freya Fenris' droid
on the Colossus refueling station. The droid was named T3-K10 (pictured below, right).

around the Great Galactic War, years after the release of the T3 series.
T7-O1 (pictured below), that worked for the Jedi Order, was a notable
droid of the series.

P2 Series (Legends/Canon)*
Prototype series of the astromech droid series. Manufactured by
Industrial Automaton, the P2-series droids were 2.3 meters in height
(over seven feet tall) and fitted with a primitive Intellex II computer.
With its size, the droids were restricted to large bulk cruisers and
container vessels. The design for the droid series was later dropped
after bad publicity and legal delays. The later released R1-series
production models saved the company.
The only time the droid series has appeared in the new canon is the
Star Wars: Complete Locations (2016) book where one is at the Tosche Station on
Tatooine. The droid is also seen in the background, outside the window, once Luke
enters the Tosche Station in a deleted scene. It appears to have an R5-type dome.

R1 Series (Canon)
Older series of astromech droids manufactured by Industrial Automaton.
Droid units stood 1.94 meters tall, moved on a single foot, and had either
black or grey plating.
The alien junk dealer Watto owned a modified R1 astromech, which handled
most daily business operations. R1-G4 (pictured below) was one such unit seen
during the droid sale at the Lars moisture farm.
Other droids of the series were seen in Mos Eisley and one at Black Spire Outpost.
