- Опубликовано: 15 июн 2024
- The fandom might be split in many directions, but there's still one thing in star wars that almost everyone still loves, and that's its droid characters. We take a look at how George Lucas designed the droids in star wars to be far more than just companions, they are the true heroes of this galaxy.

The funny thing is when I was plying Fallen Order my mother noticed BD-1, remaking that every Starwars story need a droid companion.
You are wise, Spotted Hare's mother.
Holy shit they named a character bd-1 after bad dragon?

The final episode of Clone Wars... When everything has gone really wrong, Ashoka teams up with and is saved multiple times by a small group of old astromech droids.
I'll admit, I was tearing up over those little friendly clankers...
They have nothing on the mf that was piloting an astromech like a mech suit earlier in tcw
When BB-8 (edit) used his torch to give Finn a thumbs up was definitely my favorite part of the sequel trilogy.
You mean BB-8, not BD?

The other statement about Star Wars which brings universal agreement is: Every John Williams score slaps.
Whenever I ask people who their favorite modern movie composer is, I specifically tell them that John Williams is not an option. The man's work is basically a cheat code at this point.
@@eldorados_lost_searcher Danny Elfman
No. Not even that. I’ve heard people saying that Williams’s score on the sequel trilogy was awful, so awful that they can’t listen to any of his music anymore. I wish I was joking.
@@giraffenuzZ Ramin Djawadi, Hans Zimmer.
I'm assuming this is for film and TV, and not just like, "I make Opera and Musicals in the 21st century." I'm also assuming modern is meaning "has made something in the 21st century thus far" and not, "has made something in the past 100 years."
Have any of Elfman and Zimmer's scores become as iconic as Williams? Nothing by these two, although good, comes anywhere near to legendary status like Star Wars, Superman, Jaws, Indiana Jones etc.
I love the little details. The “No droids” in the cafeteria is such a small detail that makes so much sense. A droid cannot drink, and therefore cannot be a customer. The exception is probably just for Bounty-Hunters meeting clients.
its actually also due to anti-droid sentiment following the clone wars
@@GenerationTech Its also because who takes a lawnmower to the bar.
The bar owner (apparently) also lost friends during the clone wars to the trade fed droids
There are things that could be served to droids. There's a droid bar in the Mandalorian.
They probably just want to charge a fee with clients want to use the cafeteria protocol droid and thee owner knows better than to mess with bounty hunters.
R2-D2 woke up, it had all been a horrible dream....
🤣😂
Or... IS IT!?
R2: (WAAAAAAAAAAOU!)
3CPO: Good morning, R2!
R2D2: *beeping*
3CPO: Ray Skywalker? Book of Bobafett? The Alcoyte? What heavens are you talking about?!
R2D2: *beeping*
3CPO: Stop that nonsense, we got work to do
Between you and Geetlys I have all of the Star Wars knowledge. Appreciate the many years of hard work dude, keep it up, but don't burn yourself out.
You are so right on! Geetly's and G Tech
Recommend Star Wars Reading Club to that mix, because his knowledge of obscure lore and how much he has read both canon and EU (Including the truly bonkers stuff). Seriously binge watched a lot of his content.
@@ErikaWeiss633good point , I agree.
You could unironically read that scene as if BB-8 gives a thumbs-up or the middle-finger. Both work xD
If BB-8 started hanging out with Chopper...
I remember seeing TFA in the theater, I was like 13, and I laughed so much harder than everyone else because that’s exactly what I thought. Only to realize after that he was cool with Finn lol
I do love one Droid from Star Wars and that is... BD-1
'Eyyyyyyy.
I can kinda agree. I don't like Droids all that much but BD is so damn helpful.
BB-8 deserved to be in better movies but at least he was a blast to play as in Battlefront 2
BB-8 shouldnt have existed at all.
It shouldn't be in battlefront 2 when so many better charters could've been added. We could've gotten ashoka or something
@@VadersFist95 I don't see nothing wrong with the little guy
@@VadersFist95Neither should you.
I have PTSD from the little shit in BF2 but I see ur point as well😂
Someone recently posed a question on the Star Wars subreddit that was basically if you could have C-3PO, what would you do with him? Would you want him? And it got me thinking about just how life changing it would be. Sure, Threepio can be annoying and has a lot of physical limitations, but you couldn’t ask for a more faithful companion with an infinite amount of concern and care for your individual wellbeing.
Except I like being around other people with individual agency who care about things that affect people other than themself and their own, and threeso is a house clanker who desperately needs a very thorough and public dressing-down from the John Brown of droids.
Yeah I know one Droid that everyone loves that breaks the mold....shout out to the HK fans
Shout all you want meatbag. HK.
Agreement: The HK series is quite superb.
When EV-9D9 said to C-3PO "I love you." And 3PO said back, "I know." Sent chills down my spine.
Just imagine R2 and Chopper in a battlefield surrounded by Stormtroopers?
Throw in Anakin and The amount of war crimes committed would be astronomical
@@TheJediBrickIf those bucketheads are in a hallway of a Gozanti, those two droids would have such fun
I feel sorry for the stormtroopers.
There will be a lot electrocution.
It's sad L337 got locked into a ship and was used as a poker chip.
What did the writers mean by that?
@@Quadrenaro don't know since the "poker chip" or being used as levrage in a poker game was a thing before L337 was conceptualized
@@Quadrenaro Not poker chip but self-aware operation system. In Original Trilogy you have this L337 head in the same exact place there in Millenium Falcon and C-3PO saying that Millenium Falcon is speaking to him and he's terrifed. Han Solo Movie was explaing that part with L337.
It was for the best she was a problem robot
@bobjohnson6926 Nah that shit unnerved me
I dont get how people can hate L3. She's absolutely right about the situation of the droids, and we see ultimately it's to the benefit of the galaxy. The droids who keep their memories and are given autonomy choose most times to continue helping people. Hell C3po chooses to sacrifice himself in rise of Skywalker, and it's honestly why I think the memory wiping and scraping is immoral.
U just said the reason. She brought up how human some droids are, and if they’re human, then they aren’t the pet buddies the main characters get to bring around and are so loyal that it’s beyond what most humans would be capable of. It challenged the dynamic that Star Wars first introduced with its droids, and unlike the ones who chose to keep on with things as they were, she chose to become an activist to have them treated as equals rather than the pets and sidekicks they have always been. And to be frank, that concept made people uncomfortable.
People hate her because at the point Solo was released Disney already had a reputation of making "strong female characters" and pushing the propaganda, so what would earlier be seen as intresting idea was instead met with hostility.
@@polishscribe674So, for stupid reasons then. What else can you expect from SW fans.
@@_V.Va_ Well, Disney made us that suspicious. If not my personal liking for droids, I'd see her in the negative too.
@@polishscribe674 Pretty sure insecure RUclipsrs gaslit everyone into being suspicious.
Yes. Droids are cool and awesome. And remember when R2D2 gave Palpatine a piggy back ride to escape the Zillo Beast? Funniest thing ever.
For a second I thought you were joking and then I remembered! SW is so silly sometimes, lol
The scene in Episode 1 where R2 is fixing the Shield was one of my favorites as a kid!
R2-D2 and C-3PO have been around during the most critical parts of the Star Wars universe. Making me think there main characters in the Star Wars saga.
They're*
in fact, the entire saga is retold from the perspective of R2D2. so technically yes.
They are like the Forrest Gumps of the Star Wars series.
Huyang does start his stories by saying the thing…
The Seperatist battledroids need a comeback. Tens of millions of droids during a galactic wide war and the moment it ends all droids disappeared?
No one bothered to snatch up a few droids for whatever reason? The rebellion couldn't see the value in disposable troops to supplement their numbers? Pirate lords didn't think a number of loyal B2s that don't sleep could function as guards? Outer Rim governments of thinly populated planets didn't think it worth the effort to muster a territorial defense force of droids to take care of piracy at least?
There are a few apperances in mando s3 and the aftermath trilogy (mr Bones), but there could definitively be more
Because about 30 years ago those same droids were killing your friends and blowing up your town. Fresh trama is bad for pr
I’m guessing you don’t really no much Star Wars lol
The majority of surviving Separatist battle droid were dismantled. However, a lot of them were repurposed, like we see in the Mandalorian Season 3, or in the game Jedi Survivor.
Have you been paying attention? Droids show up a lot after the clone wars… they even go as far as the sequels and probably in old stuff, even further. Just because you don’t see them in the OT doesn’t mean they all just vanished. The real question is where all the clones went. We only a see a few out of the millions after episode 3.
You are to Star Wars what Prof. Tex and The Black Pants Legion are to Battletech. Glorious context and analysis
Last time I was this early snoke theories were everywhere
SNOKE IS PALPATINE'S MOM!
I always liked the one that said Snoke stood for Sith No One Knew Existed!
@@GenerationTechYou make me sorry for his father.
Somehow, Snoke returned.
Snoke was supposed to be Cronal! Ignore that Plagueis's theme played when he was in TFA for some reason...
I have always loved the Droids. Just the idea that they are always happy to help with whatever you need. R2-D2 of course was always a favorite. Part of why I love seeing other R units. Just the idea these Swiss Army droids are out there in such vast numbers makes it easier to imagine whatever adventuerer, jedi, or smuggler you think you would be, you can almost guarantee you could have a faithful R2-D2 of your very own. Even C-3P0. He's uptight, fastidious, and is rambles on, but everything he does because he wants to be of help.
Even when I play the old Jedi Academy game. In an early level you are looking for jawas on Tatooine and find scrapped droids everywhere. In my head I always imagine Jaden (your character) arranging to purchase or simply gather up all those broken and discarded droids to be taken back to the academy so students can fix them up and refurbish them as part of their training.
R2 always reminded me of Hewie, Lewie and Dewie from "Silent Running" when I first saw him.
R2D2 is the main character of my life too lol
I've always said Star Wars could've been called "A Tale of Two Droids".
BB8 would have been best sequel character except I only remember him from the beginning of force awakens. Don’t actually recall what he did in the others.
He stole coins from a mark hamill voiced alien, and impressed benicio del toro by shooting them at security?
Could a _The Black Hole_ *Vincent* style droid exist in Star Wars?
Even the flying is just repulsor lifts, the only real issue is that he's got a pair of blasters that are aimed constantly forwards, which would be a bit off-putting.... except that even disgraced former Jedi temple guards and second class non humans like Wookies can walk around freely carrying blaster machine guns and heavy anti material rifles.
But why aren't _many_ droids equipped with repulsor lifts BTW?
It seems a very practical form of locomotion.
And giving astromechs human speech capable vox boxes seems a simple upgrade.
Repulsor lift technology may be too expensive in the Star Wars universe so it is mainly relegated to human craft. (We do see a few floating spy droids in the prequels, though, but whoever paid for them may have had money to burn,) After all, droids do seem to be pretty replaceable, and therefore not worth being pimped out.
Unfortunately Droids are _not incorruptible_ by the internet.
Rule 34 exists.....
nooooooooooooo
@@GenerationTech That's _Paige nooooooooooooo_
That´s not even necessary! R2 put his little pecker in every opening he could find. Shoot, he even did Big Mama Death Star, until she gave up all her secrets!
6:45 hahaah this was literally a Futurama episode! The one with Beck as a guest star
I really enjoyed L337 actually. Ive always thought droids deserved more rights.
Take it up with the Emperor! 😂
Yeah it sure is terrible and, likely how things will evolve here for robotics.
Damn, this video nailed it! Thank you.
Hope must remain.
Droids are cool
This is why there’s the arc in the Clone Wars that is all about droids trying to save the Republic.
Sure, sure, wholesome fun.
They bleeped out every single word R2-D2 said.
Growing up and coming of age with Dr. Isaac Asimov's robots, before the existence of 'Star Wars', gives me a different generational perspective. The Three Laws of...?
Robots... Droids, are 'tools'. They are made for a purpose(s). They may be 'loyal', 'self sacrificing', and other good qualities, but there is a good reason for that. They were MADE to be so. If you could program a power cutter to cut flesh before it would cut metal, that's a weapon. Hopefully you would design it to not cut the person wielding it. In other words, 'loyalty' programmed. When droids' programing becomes 'messy' with their storing experiences, OF COURSE, they become more identifiable to humans. We do the same thing...
Man, I'm so glad that I recently discovered your channel (by someone mentioning you in a Star Wars Meg video comment). You present such a refreshing take on Star Wars that is sorely missing today and that is much needed among all of the anger and Disney/political hate. I am thoroughly enjoying your theories and deeper discussions such as this one that make viewers think and their imaginations spark. Thank you for doing what you do! On this particular topic, droids are probably my favorite characters in Star Wars (Chopper and K-2SO specifically) for many of the reasons you mention, and because in many ways, I am half droid myself.
Just realized r2 and 3po are like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
It’s such a breath of fresh air to come to this channel.
Legit the best part of my day everyday thank you
same! thanks :)
R2D2 and C3PO are one thing, but the Bad Batch managed to give a god damn GONK droid characterization
also you have K2-SO who was reprogrammed and was constantly a source of sassiness and sarcasm
also alan tudyk
Amazing video🙏🏻
5:40 or so, that had to be one of the best episodes of the Mandalorian. Was kinda surprised to see it IS possible for a bunch of Droids to have their own bar somewhere... L3.. she coulda been one helluva Droid Politician... Imagine seeing HER/THAT as a Senator.. the SW Galaxy probably woulda lost it...
K2-S0 and L3-37 are probably my favorite droids, but i wish the franchise would give one or two B1 droids a chance to be more fleshed out, though i may be biased because my fan droid is a mid-production B1 who woke up IN the factory as just a torso and an arm and put themself together using parts that didn't pass quality control
they proceed to live on not necessarily hostile to organics, but disloyal and distrustful of them, citing to anyone that bothered to ask, the number of their parts that were rejected not for underperforming, but for overperforming
Yeah they did some cool things with mrbones but he was a complete rebuild. It would be awesome to see a b1 that deserts just like cut lawqaune
Huyang is a Stoic.
Assassin Droid walks in: Throws wrench in the happy droid friends theory..... :P
This is beautiful! Droids are one of the best parts of Star Wars. I so wish I could have a BD-1 by my side.
I liked L3 because she was an anomaly in the galaxy for being a droid rights activist. I thought, why aren't there more like her? But the Mandalorian episode shows us that most droids are much more content than we think. And the collective filial piety is sweet, makes you hesitate to smack malfunctioning tech.
I don't dislike L3 at all. Alas for her, most other droids haven't advanced as far as she had.
It is less "smacking" and more "percussive maintenance"
@@toportime patayto, potaato
Killer video, man. Thanks!
L337 is the spirit of rebellion in the Falcon's memory banks and explains its plot armor through the series😊
Lucas's Star Wars had directly borrowed themes from Kurosawa, and even entire shots in sequence from Hidden Fortress; we all loved that Samurai flavor and it was done with care. Now Disney will bring the Master's name out every time they need PR. Ryan Johnson had a rain scene in TLJ and they said "it's like Rashomon!" Current show has a potentially unreliable POV narrative and what's on every Ad media headline...''it's like Rashomon!''. We've seen ''Rashomon sequences'' in dozens of non SW projects that never begged the comparison. It's got twins too I guess it's also inspired by Ivan Reitman? It strains credulity to make these connections. It's just... lipstick on a pig.
Its one reference.. she name dropped a bunch of her otber influences that had nothing to do w kurosawa or anything george liked.. i dont remember rashomon comparisons when tlj came out. Theres rain scenes all the time so thats a weak comparison anyways
Like she also referenced memento, the fugitive, vhravters from other shows (the obvious ones being trinity and x-23)
Geroge Lucas basically made a shot-for-shot remake of the hidden fortress. Star wars is a great movie but the best and most popular ones are the ones that introduced more orignial ideas later on. Like episode 5, or episode 3.
On ya lad for answering the listeners . Yeah man the director creative talent you mentioned early on in your speal and all the others in recognition of their works are worthy of mention. R2D2 is awesome.
What about the droid attack on the cookies.
While having not yet accrued the screen time as the typical favorites, I'm liking Osha's Pip in The Acolyte. A very different take on droids, that in retrospect, I'm surprised wasn't introduced earlier. And what Osha carries Pip in is a M1961 Ammunition Pouch for the M-14 rifle. (Remember Karis Nemick's Navigational tool/Polaroid Land Camera? I love that stuff.) A touching droid video, well done Allen.
i wonder if its a reference to pipboy from fallout
@@GenerationTech I've only watched the series and didn't know it had a name. Heh heh, I thought Performance Improvement Plan.
Beisdes R2, BB-8 and C0-10P (Chopper), my favorite droid is R0-GR (Roger)
Fear is behind everything. I felt very little from Solo, but L-37 really moved me. Maybe being African American and knowing the history of enslavement, colonization, and continued oppression in a dominating society, I was always surprised that a Droid rebellion or separation never occurred (or rarely occurred) in the SWU. There is something tragic but noble about them. Even as a child, I remember watching R2 and 3PO in the belly of the Sandcrawler, surrounded by their "kind," all curious but frightened by their midget captors--at 11 years old...the scene moved me. Maybe, subtly, it's why the writers of Solo had Lando very sympathetic (even love) L-37, a nod to part of the audience whose ancestors were abducted, made servants, treated destructive or destroyed, later disregarded, and given limited rights or liberties. It's one of the reasons I'm always attracted to SW characters (living ones) who seem to acknowledge droids as beings and respond to them as such. The first person to do this in A New Hope was Luke, then Obi-Wan, who has a long, dedicated history of talking to droids as beings, not as devices.
Still, you can see the difference between Han and Leia, like in ESB, how they kept telling poor 3PO to "shut up" even though his fear is (IMO) legitimate; he's also the funniest thing in the movie. One scene I loved and backed up, Threepio, was when the Falcon was waiting for the star destroyer to dump their garbage. I'm assuming Chewie told him to be quiet, as 3PO was stating (wrongfully, I will admit) that surrender is a good option, but Threepio returned definitely, "No! I will shut up, Chewbacca!" Good for you, 3PO! Lmao! Ironically, they still ended up being captured anyway! I'm currently working on a SF novel that addresses these same themes.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful statement. I'm Algonquin and Mohawk American Indian, and many of my ancestors were taken from North America and brought to Great Britain for the same reason your ancestors were taken from Africa. Now I look around at all these different peoples and cultures, knowing how much my heritage suffered at their hands, but yet still seeing so many of my own becoming "apples". (a nickname we use. It means "red on outside, white on inside".) Makes us mourn what has been lost.
I've also always cherished moments on screen and in books where a main character, or powerful character, treats those they PERCEIVE as less with love and kindness. Often, by the end, they realize their original perception was wrong in the first place. Life is life.
Be blessed!
IIRC, there actually was a droid uprising in SW lore. Unfortunately, this was not really explored - I think the extent I know of it is from a codex entry in SWTOR - but it does at least hint at a reason for why another did not happen, similar to how the Katana Fleet from the old Thrawn trilogy was the last time fleets of warships were networked together.
Oh and btw, C3po, is the story teller.
GL stated that "Star-Wars was written for twelve-year-olds". The unstated part is that it was written for the twelve-year-old in all of us. Hence, the humanized droids.
why is bro always recording form heaven
BB-8 works either as a bro giving Finn a thumbs up, or frustrated telling him “You owe me for this” by giving him the finger.
This is one of the best videos ever made on Star Wars! I hope the Star Wars community at large see this and learn something from it. Your take on the droids in Star Wars and the Star Wars universe in general is quite refreshing and provide valuable insight for the not so hardcore fans, amidst all the negativity we see usually now on other Star Wars channels. Great work on the writing and research on this Alan and the Generation Tech team! I love to see it!
I missed that originally that hole statement about organics not living long and about how the droids have so much more to offer and it being the least they could do I was like awww shit thank you brother cause I ligit missed that
I did like that Pilot Droid from Solo. That other one from Rogue 1 was a good droid too.
I hope Andor season 2 brings back that Droid and how Cass probably reprograms it as an ally. It was a nice touch that it was the same model that arrested him on the Miami planet.
Working hard to correct the 3rd ep debacle lol - well done
dont worry just ran out of stuff to talk about well be back at it by wednesday ;)
@@GenerationTech Go Allen 👍 thx
Random fun fact; R2 has (as far as I’m aware) had only ONE on-screen memory wipe, and that was so he didn’t know he’d been kidnapped by Cad Bane
How come we don't see journalist t
In starwarse
Same reason you don’t see them in China?
HK-47: "Meatbags!" lol
As a person with high functioning autism as weird as it sounds I feel a much larger emotional connection to the droids because when they get quirky they have emotions even though they dont understand them completely.
Lot things normal people can see the Jedi couldn't. From conspiracies to droids suffering
Jedi have a complicated relationship to droids, I think. You know how the force is supposedly in everything that lives? Droids have no presence in the force whatsoever. To someone who can actually feel the force and such, Droids must seem weird. Like they go about things like living creatures, but your space magic tells you, they in fact aren't alive.
Is the 3po in original trilogy the same 3Po the prequels
you could argue he became someone else after the memory wipe, cus memories make someone who they are.... although I think no matter how you shake it down mostly his parts are original including whats in the brain case.... so same.
ok hot take, BB-8 is the only sequel character that wasn't bad, because he literally has no dialogue, so they couldn't write any stupid dialogue for him.
In SWTOR, a group of droids do rebel on the moon of Zadd in the Unknown Regions. Killed every one of their creators and then tried to wipe out all life in galaxy.
YES! Also R2-D2 is an absolute chad.
In the old Legends continuity, there was a group on Nar Shadaa called the "Free Droid Enclave" that tries to get droids to break free from abusive masters. One of these Enclave droids, an Astromech, was spotted talking to a protocol droid, suggesting his master has a "violent accident". When asked what the Astromech said, the protocol droid replied "Nothing subversive, master. Shall we go for a walk?"
So, there are indeed moments were droids turn on organics, but _only_ when said organics are being unnecessarily cruel to the droids.
The droids on that utopia planet had their own places to refresh and socialize in their time off.
It gave droids time off, money to spend at the 'droid bar', and they got to independently pursue social lives on their time off. They might be being exploited, but they were being treated like waged workers, not property. That was pretty impressive.
We all hate that obnoxious droid from the Solo movie. Unanimously.
Number two, I don't think anyone dislikes John Williams' scores.
Honest to God, with that thumbnail, I thought this was going to be a bout how everybody still loved how BB-8 gave a thumbs up with his lighter. That that moment and action was the last thing all Star Wars fans still universally liked and agreed upon. And actually... I was ready to buy that. Hahaha.
Huyang makes my head cannon still want to think that the Jedi crossed paths with the 10th Doctor at some point and he reprogrammed and upgraded one of their light saber teaching droids for some reason and that is why he sounds that way and is the best and last Jedi droid from the original order. It isn't the case, but the child in me wants that crossover where the Jedi need some help back in the Republic days and the only sci-fi character crossover that could pull it off would be the Doctor since he would be able to tell them everything they were doing that was wrong.
They’re actually was a droid revolution in Star Wars legends, but this happened thousands of years before the prequel trilogy and not too long before Kotor
Those damn hks were always a problem

Franchises that portray robots mindless are less hard science fiction
Literally the opposite of this. AGI is fantasy
@@ninjalectualx could be. We think of computers as data points connecting to other data points. But take crash course on computer science transistors are Pathways to Switches lights and pixels that don't connect but are independently timed
Depends on the robot and how advanced its programming/AI is; seriously, we have robots right now- pretty sure Roombas aren't sentient...
Franchises that portray all robots being equally smart are the softest. (Star Wars might have its own droid classification, but even a class V can develop a personality, given enough time between memory wipes.) AI is not, and should not be an all-or-nothing deal; you don't want robots that are too smart for their task (if only because smarter brains are likely more expensive than dumber ones) and you definitely don't want them to be too dumb. A Roomba doesn't need a personality, but a medical robot (or a hologram, if we take a peek at that other franchise) does.
What if the Earth is going become uninhabitable for organic life you would want robots to replace using that case
In a story or lore sense this spacefaring civilization has been dependent on droids for thousands of years so of course they're going to purposely anthropormorhicize these machines to make them easier to work with.
And they're treated kind of like smart tools/companions for the most part.
How they're treated reflects that characters own empathy.
love me a droid video

*Doesn't even watch video*
I disagree.
*Leaves*
Love your channel man ❤
Honestly, I think droids stay loyal when they are older and more "personable" (i.e. the ones not wiped who develop personality) because they have Organics who take care of them. You think Huyang would have stuck around if the Jedi didn't treat him with respect? He is obviously cared for! Chopper is devoted to Hera because Hera cares about him. Artoo has probably been treated with care even before the Trade Federation blockade, and after that it seems Padmé adopted him for his good work during the whole situation, and then when she and Anakin traded droids, well Anakin is a mechanic and would have taken great care of Artoo. Then Artoo ended up in the care of the Alderaanian Royal House, who obviously cared too, and Leia shows she respects droids when her cousin calls them "lesser".
But something I have seen come up in Tumblr reading vids (I probably heard it through PM Seymour) is the observation that we bond with anything we can see even a little "humanisation" in. People get attached to their Roombas. People mourned the Mars Rover (Curiosity?) when it stopped working. I'd like to think maybe that sentiment is one that would exist in Star Wars, as that is why Droids are what they are. Maybe that is what George Lucas saw when he came up with them.
I seriously doubt L337 was disliked because it pushed the boundaries of rights for droids.
There have been other droids that have done the same thing.
I think L337 was disliked because it was used to change the entire character of Lando.
In all previous depictions of Lando, he *really* appreciated the female form, and he was pretty dismissive of all droids, even C3PO and R2.
We listen to stories movies to escape from reality not prepare for reality
Thanks for the video. It's good to get away from the hate of the Acolyte.
Go watch "Silent Running" to see when Droids actually first made it on screen.
