Fora do universo, é George Lucas (!), pelo menos de acordo com seus fãs e seguidores:
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.
No universo, há uma referência no guia de origem da UE " Scavenger's Guide to Droids " que indica que o história do Criador é algo de uma lenda de droides.
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.
