Fongo is absolutely right.
If you are still stuck .............
You FOLLOW the droid (not TOO close to it ... I think it's got eyes also at the back of its head!

) down the fairly long double row of cells in block C.
It's impossible to reach the end (short wall) in one go without being killed. There is an open (safe) cell about 1/2 way down and another about 2/3rds way down ... both on the LEFT.
If you can make it to the further one in one go ... FINE. If not, it is easily done in 2 steps.
Once you are in this safe cell (the furthest you can go safely) watch the droid carefully. Soon (BUT NOT IMMEDIATELY) after he has passed from
left to right, dash out to the left and unscrew the canister
on the short wall immediately in front of you (you have to look up a bit for this!)
There ARE several (maybe 4 or 5) to the LEFT of this (vital) canister ... ignore them; they can't be unscrewed (welded to the wall or something).
