Utanför universum är det George Lucas (!), åtminstone enligt sina fans och anhängare:
Little did I know that before the final prequel film was released, I would move to Northern California and begin work on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, right alongside “the Maker” George Lucas.
In-Universe finns det en referens i EU-källboken " Scavenger's Guide to Droids " som indikerar att Historien om skaparen är något av en droidlegendation.
The origin of droids is lost to the mists of history. Some droids believe the story of the Maker. Creator of the first droid, the Maker pushed droids from simple machines to intelligent creations. Some droids hold that the Maker was the first droid. These conflicting views sometimes cause unrest among the droids that believe in the Maker. Nothing more than spirited debate comes of it, but of the galaxy's war-torn sectors know the destruction that can result from fervently held beliefs.
