2024 Visit to an ailing child
KT-21 visited a 17 year old with cancer who will not leave the hospital alive, and who wanted to meet a droid. KT21 stepped in and made it happen. KT-21 was joined by Grogu and spent time with the young man talking droids and then about hour letting him manipulate 6 servos on a Grogu animatronic setup using a PC with a Populu Maestro. Father and son spent some quality time together trying to figure it out.
