Collection: LEGO Gonk Droids

What Is a LEGO® Gonk Droid?

Affectionately known as Gonk Droids, GNK Power Droids are boxy mobile power generators in the Star Wars™ universe. With their iconic “gonk” sound and clunky walking style, these droids deliver portable energy across the galaxy—from sandcrawlers and battlefields to Rebel bases. While they may not shoot blasters or pilot ships, Gonk Droids are vital behind-the-scenes heroes—and fan favorites for their quirky charm.

Gonk Droids in Star Wars™ Movies, Games & More

Gonk Droids made their cinematic debut in Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), waddling through the Jawas' sandcrawler and the Death Star’s corridors. Their presence has continued throughout the franchise—in movies, animated series, and video games.

One of their standout moments? In the LEGO® Star Wars game The Skywalker Saga, players can take control of a Gonk Droid. Whether they’re background tech or surprise comic relief, Gonk Droids are now a staple of the galaxy far, far away.
