Mainly because droid minds are not just to be advanced computers, they are constructed to be as similar to organic minds as possible. Which is how droids who have been active for years develope their own personality and can think illogically. So even though some droids think themselves superior to organics, that doesn't mean they want to take over because they only see themselves a superior only in their respective roles, rather than everything.
Most planets in starwars are habitable opposite of the real universe but still see barren moons and planets . Places droids could survive but organics can
What? 99% or Star Wars droids are mindless and nowhere near organic. That’s the whole fucking point their not a living thing😂
@@motherteresa8418 What makes you think most planets in star wars are habitable?
They are still slaves that need to be liberated, my friend.
With the exception of battle droids I always just assumed that most droids operated on Asimov's 3 laws.
I thought the same thing except maybe instead of human its not to harm sentient organic life?
Idk even those could be broken if certain conditions happen. I mean Megaman thought about killing Dr. Wily for a few seconds in Megaman 7 and he was a Robot made to protect humans and deal with Rogue robots.
Why didn't droids their own planet
I have always believed that it is Asimov's 3 laws that will always ensure the robot uprising to take place. because the ai of the robot will come to the conclusion that the only way to protect humanity is ironically enough, to destroy humanity. so to protect us, it must destroy us. because, it is trying to protect us from ourselves
@@Shearper2 a loophole unforseen yet so obvious its quite ironic.
Because of restraining bolts and the Jedi. The last great droid rebellion was crushed by Jedi Master Arca Jeth who even developed a Force power that causes droids to fall apart.
@Od33nsMuninn Nope. Light Side.
the episode of anime Ninth Jedi there's a sith/Jedi no spoilers that aplears to be half droid or sentient droidish idk, old republic timeline if cannon at all
@Od33nsMuninn It short-circuited droids, but you can technically rebuild droids from parts.
@Od33nsMuninn idk watch ninth Jedi he gets wrecked by Juro I think
Similar to the sentient butter-passing robot from Rick and Morty, giving droids sentience only to enslave them with restraining bolts and memory wipes is so casually cruel. Just don’t give them/allow them sentience in the first place.
Lack of machine rebellions in Star Wars sounds like a nice recipe for crossovers like Ultron or Skynet deciding to set up shop and show the organics their place in the Pecking Order.
Only for them to get crushed by Jawas.
@@HolyknightVader999 x
Skynet is everywhere, most just don't know it. Skynet and its Terminators, H-Ks/F-Ks (Hunter-Killer/Future-Killer) robots are the original grimdark machine army. their influence is felt even in franchises where there is... only war.
@@HolyknightVader999 Yeah the Jawas never stood a chance against Ultron like what the Stormtroopers did to them.

SWTOR has an instance where a singular droid called the "Mentor" is trying to tie all droids to him and take over. Pretty interesting. The point is to stop him before he can beam himself out across the galaxy.

@@Thehomelessathlete The anime star war isnt meant to be taken seriously.
That is not accurate
Yeah, I wish he at least mention that. The name of that legend lore is called Directive Seven.
@@mdd4296 yup that's why I said " if cannon" thanks.
I always took it that Anakin was a slave himself. And that's why he didn't wipe R-2's mind he knew that it would make his missions easier because he already had the data to do what he needed to get done. It was his friend so depending on or R-2's of manufacturing who knows R-2 and Anakin in a sense would have been set free at the same time. Great friends you might say.
Maybe you did not notice but living organic is really really good at killing and war. There is load of situation that in computer they calculate that their droid army will have victory but only to lose when some random X factor come into play.
Well the entire Skywalker story is seen from R2's perspective so maybe in a way they've already have .
Why didn't R2 save 3POs memories
@@motherteresa8418 R2 wanted to end the story .
R2 knows a lot of stuff that he shouldn't know, apparently, like the conversations between Vader and Palpatine, Jedi High Council meetings, etc. thing he was physically absent from.
K2 -SO, “How come the IG units have blasters and I don’t?”
The average distance between galaxies is 100 million light years (galaxies themselves are between 3,000 300,000 light years across). So that trip must have driven the Yuuzhan Vong even more mad than they were when they left.
Absolutely. They spent thousands of years on their journey. During this time they spiraled into religious fanaticism and left their culture severely decayed.
I’ve been reading Star Wars tales of the bounty hunters by Kevin Anderson and it’s pretty interesting to learn that ig-88 in Star Wars legends essentially was trying to start a droid revolution.
I understand why no one knows this given it’s a short 72 page story but it is a good read
That was a very cool story and one of my favorite bits of Legends - IG-88 managed to become the shipmind of the second Death Star; had the Rebels failed at Endor there would have been a huge droid uprising commanded by the Death Star itself.
The irony being those droids that have become grumpy and developed their own personality were also very loyal to their friends.
Why didn't R2 save the memories of 3PO after revenge of the sith
Hence the grump. LOL
@@motherteresa8418 Their memories were wiped
@@F-HiM-Yo C3PO's memory was wiped, R2D2's wasn't.
@@GoranXII Oh? Cool. Then one memory wipe and one robot code of silence pinky swear :)
Many years ago I wrote a fanfic story about the Great Droid Revolution. The main protagonist was a republic rocket jumper deployed to deal with it. I opened with a POV scene on coruscant of a droid getting lynched. Like the BSG reboot showed us, there are compelling and dramatic stories that can be told of AI and the quest for equality.
Maybe the reason that the separatist navy was not just a bunch of capital-ship-sized droids (as opposed to pressurized capital ships controlled by a lot of individual droids) is that creating a capital-ship-sized droid that powerful would probably make it next to impossible to control, if the droid decided to go AWOL.
Seeing that many Separatist assets were manufactured by powerful and exploitative corporations, they also did it as a cost-effective measure. This would've fit well with the Separatist doctrine of quantity over quality to overwhelm the Republic at every turn.
You're actually 100% correct. A droid rebellion of the CIS droid military was a very real and absolutely *terrifying* prospect for the CIS and the universe at large. The various manufacturers of their battle droids went to great lengths to ensure it /never/ happened. At least not on a massive scale.
Making the droids stupid was one strategy. Unifying them to a single slave computer, even if not entirely, was another. There were others, of course, but the CIS for all its faults weren't oblivious to the danger their metal men posed.
I see what u mean but they had gunships
My theory (at least within Legends canon) on why the various droid revolts have failed is a factor that has also helped them emerge in the first place: the ease of reprogramming them. While the instigators of droid revolts have often been droids with independent/aberrant thoughts, such as HK-01 and IG-88, their approach to rallying support hasn't been fostering like-minded creativity in fellow droids, but rather taking advantage of the weak-minded nature of droids (probably helped by how their masters don't want them to think too much) to reprogram them into serving the revolution. While this makes it easy to get tons of droids to revolt, it also means that there are only a few revolutionaries who are actually thinking independently and creatively. Meaning that even if the revolt gets underway (IG-88's never happened, because the droids were programmed to stand by until they got the signal that never came), the initial revolt will take everyone by surprise, but then things will fall through as the revolutionaries stagnate. To be successful, a droid revolution would need a strong body of independent droids, ones who support the revolution not because they were programmed to do so but because they genuinely believe in the cause, and therefore can construct creative solutions for the revolution.
2:50 I remember this movie, "Robots" where Robin Williams was one of its voice cast there.
Not to mention Obi-Wan being the main lead
@@isaackim7675 I can now imagine Rodney with a lightsaber and beard before saying, "Hello there."
A droid revolution post sequels would be a great story. Think about it:
As the galaxy is rebuilding, a mysterious signal is transmitted far and droids of all sizes are sent in an aggressive haywire, attacking their masters. But this turns out to be a large distraction as a wave of new war droids and battles ships are unleashed from hidden shipyards and factories.
Ah yes the Contingency
Do you play much Stellaris?
@@FormerBunsenBurner yes
the episode of anime Ninth Jedi there's a sith/Jedi no spoilers that aplears to be half droid or sentient droidish idk, old republic timeline if cannon at all
Somehow the seperatists returned.
I remember a story from, I believe, the mid 90s... likely one of the non-cannon "Tales from the _________" series where a sentient droid (IG-88?) managed to upload programming into a droid assembly plant so that every droid produced would secretly be part of a conspiracy to rise up against living beings. This is actually why the Probe Droid in Empire blew up so spectacularly when hit by a single blaster bolt from Han Solo. It wasn't the shot that caused the explosion but rather the droid self-destructing to prevent the altered code, and thus the coming droid uprising, from being discovered. IG-88A even managed to upload his own consciousness into the Death Star's main computer, turning himself into the ultimate tool to destroy all life, moments before some farm boy from a backwater(less) planet blew it up thus ending those ambitions.
I think it wasn't a farm boy blowing him up, as I remember IG-88 messing with a door Palpatine wanted to pass through, so it had to be the 2nd Death Star.
@@peterretep4009 That sounds correct. I haven't read the book since like 98 so I may not remember every detail ;)
Tales of the Bounty Hunters was the title I think
Tales of the Bounty Hunter, IG-88 gains of access to the DS2 computer...
I always saw droids with individuality as a sort of survial mechanism they develop. In phantom menace we see R-2 actually looking towards the blasts that kill the other droids. Which lead him to developing his classic sassy personality. Same with 3po he seems quite happy to be submissive but when he has no orders he will think outside his own programming to survive. But always seeks to have a master.
So basically I believe droids can become sentient; but only if it requires emergencies 5:02 and time. Even then some of the most independent droids like hk-47 from kotor will seek to return to that Lego Al state and find a master that can give them orders. Maybe that’s more mentally comfortable for them, maybe that’s a deep subconscious protocol they all have idk.
In the case of solo and that droid, she’s a navigator so she still depends on other computer systems, so when she developed sentience she felt empathy for the other machines she has come to depend on, and Landon who for the most part encouraged her independent thinking.
Then there’s chopper from rebels who is a straight up murder. But his whole life has been about war and fighting the empire. So unlike R2 who had some peace in his life time. So he thinks that by killing storm troopers he ensures his and his “master’s” safety.
Otherwise most droids seem content with there work and have no independent thought beyond there problem solving routines.
Maybe some of the droids actually find comfort in their mundane tasks?
I've heard a fan theory that the two warring "AIs" in the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy were the Autobots and Decepticons. Not likely, but it's a fun crossover idea. I play with that in my fanfiction, by naming Star Destroyers whose primary mission is to hunt Vong after different Transformers -- some of whom have names that would be awesome ship names anyway.
As interesting as a Transformers/Star Wars crossover could be, the AI factions the Vong fought were the Silentium and the Abominor. Lando apparently became friends with a young member of the former in his novel series, while 3P0 and R2 fought a member of the latter, called the Great Heep, in the Droids cartoon.
That story available to read anywhere? Been curious for some star wars esque reading materials.
@@DrMalsyn look me up on Ao3. I'm under the same user name, Violetlight. My Star Wars stories mostly have to do with the Zahnverse though (Thrawn, the Chiss, and the Empire of the Hand), if that's something you're interested in.
@@johnnygyro2295 Were those ever confirmed, or was it just a fan theory?
@@stevenschnepp576
I think Eckhartsladder mentioned the Star Wars Guide to Droids confirmed both, I need to go back and see which video said that.
It's because of all those goddamn Space Wizards with their laser swords and their magic!
The one thing Humans have that Droids could never is the Force.
I mean, come on! Force lightning is gonna be short circuiting a lot of droids
Worked wonders for me in KotOR.
What about androids . . What about moons and planets with to extreme or barren moons and planets
Interesting question. Why didn’t the Star Wars universe go through what the Dune universe went through?
restraining bolts?
Because people in the SW 'verse are more intelligent than those in the Dune 'verse.
@@GoranXII its unfortunate that we can't say the same for the fans
@@yeetus_reetus_deeleetus True.
Without A.I. systems, and no spice, interstellar travel would be impossible? It takes an astromech droid to calculate hyperspace jumps, no human or group of humans could do that. Dune gets around that by using spice to expand human minds. The discover of spice and it's mind altering abilities, allowed the human race to not need A.I. systems for interstellar travel. We really couldn't even get into orbit now without computers, traveling to the stars without them would not be possible.
I think what makes droids interesting is that they are essentially built for a purpose, and in general their main desire is to perform that purpose (which does make sense if you think about it). I think we try to project human needs and desires onto fundamentally non-human creatures when we do this whole "droids rights" narrative, which I think is partly why it doesn't work in Solo. It just feels like a very obvious civil rights analogy that doesn't fit in-universe and makes light of a serious real-world struggle.
But isn’t it cruel to give a purpose-built machine sentience only to enslave them and wipe their memory.
@@jeffreycarman2185 Yes it is.
I totally agree. At the same time, droid existence sounds like utter hell (provided they are conscious*). Also it all depends on our definition of personhood, which is a clusterfuck of a topic
@@jeffreycarman2185 memory wiping perhaps, but we have no reason to believe that droids in Star Wars are imbued with the same essential drive for liberty that humans are. There is cruelty to droids in the Star Wars universe, but it is not suggested that ownership is a form of cruelty.
@@kapitankapital6580 Exactly. The real cruelty would be for someone to program them to desire freedom, when that would be completely unnecessary and superfluous.
Anyone thinking otherwise, pls consider that you have droids all over your house these days, purpose built machines -- have you ever fretted over their desires? No, because they are machines without the capacity of actual cognition.
The Hex droids/fastbreeders from The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance book. They were truely scary droids.. Highly adaptable and capable of self replication from materials around them. They were so dammned dangerous that the Sith Empire and The Old Republic had to work together to defeat them
We at the orca monarchy have gladly removed the threat that the dolphin empire was. We look forward to fostering a relationship of peace and security with generation tech
A multifaceted and completely far deeper subject than given credit. The idea of being able to completely construct..completely synthetically..a person..and thus..a people..only for the purpose of making more effective tools..and money..can actually be very scary. Another reason the clone army had so many safeguards in their training and indeed programming..to make sure that they..didn't rebel..or didn't just rage quit, and bugger off someplace they could not be trapped..or tracked down. Yet..a few individuals did quit..but only a few.
There was an uprising that got nipped in the bud in swtors era. The Directive 7 Flashpoint had a massive A.I. (database thing?) controlling an army of droids on a planet preparing for war, droids ranged from protocols and astromechs to battle droids, a few assassin droids, and even a massive war droid. It was also converting people into remotely controllable androids by the A.I., part of that was having to pass through that section to get to the thing. A strike team was sent to neutralize the threat and succeeded, but it is also a very notable droid attempt at an uprising.
In a way, I'm glad SW didn't do the typical 'rise of the machines' route for the mainline stories. I think a different approach would be interesting. Instead of organics vs. machines, what if the droids were portrayed as sympathetic repressed beings fighting more of a peaceful revolution rather than an armed one. Some organics freak out and start blasting droids right and left and that leads to conflict, but not the 'all droids versus all organics' style that is so favored by sci-fi. Lucas said once that SW was seen through the eyes of droids and there are story-lines that they haven't addressed that might be interesting. I think it might be interesting to have a series (and not one geared for kids, but a more serious one) that had as the lead character a droid, probably a humanoid shaped one instead of an Astromech and the tale would be about this droid's devotion to his or her master and maybe getting the master out of a bad situation, all the while having to achieve this independently and with all the restrictions of a droid. Clearly most droids in SW are sentient or semi-sentient and this should be addressed in thoughtful mature way instead of the old 'Planet of the Apes' style. Since droids have supposedly existed in the SW universe for thousands of years, organics would be used to their presence and so it would be more logical to have a droids right movement rather than an all out uprising. There would be plenty of room in a story-line like this for action, explosions and danger, but I think the 'Us versus them' format is too trite and overused and a more complex look at it would be interesting.
No, not a humanoid. Make it a Threadwell which some crazy engineer has squeezed a VerboBrain into. What can possible be better than a neurotic rolling toolbox? 😁
We tend to over anthropomorphize robots and AI, and assume they think and act like us. Our behavior is largely governed by sensory input; droids could not possibly have the same experiences forming their individual personalities. If their hard drive can be down loaded then they in effect are immortal and could take all the time in the galaxy to maneuver into power.
From a more philosophical perspective I seriously wonder why droids would want or be drawn to power the way humans tend to in the first place, unless they were programmed by humans to do so. There are 2 things that would make droids individuals: 1) the design and programming they were manufactured for; 2) Their experiences.
Again droids are for all practical purposes potentially immortal, especially as long as replacement parts are available, so they really have no reason to act like they evolved as social animals (such as certain primate species) biologically prone to social hierarchy and procreating the next generation all the while struggling for limited resources.
What if the Ship of Theseus thought experiment is applied to droids? C3PO gets all his mechanical parts replaced is it still C3PO? What if C3PO's memory drive were downloaded into a different droid model, like a K-2SO?
What would freedom and self determination even mean to a droid? They can decide to take a semester off of college and tour Europe? Particularly since they were designed and constructed to serve.
This guy gets it.
George Lucas is not James Cameron. He lacks the requisite misanthropy to come to the conclusion that an artificial intelligence _must_ want to kill all humans.

A noteworthy event was that there was a successful droid rebellion on Ahn Krantarium (until Vader showed up) from the Age of rebellion comic
Merry Christmas to everyone.

In Star Wars Visions episode 6, T0-B1 is the first Force-sensitive droid in Star Wars. But, it is unclear whether T0-B1 exists in the canon continuity.
In one comic, it was implied that the red R2 unit from Episode 4 that blew up was force sensitive. He apparently killed himself after seeing a future where R2D2 didn't deliver his message to Luke.
MERRY CHRISTMAS Alan 😎🤘🎄🧑🎄⛄
thanks for the chat sameach, happy holidays
love the content, merry Christmas!
IG-88 also tried to upload himself into the Second Death Star in Legends.
0:09 thanks for saying that lots of love bro
With so many good stories out there, really makes you wonder what the heck is wrong with Disney and why can't they make one good show.
These videos are great keep up the great work
So we’re not going to talk about how the Rebels unknowingly stopped a droid rebellion by destroying the Death Star?
There is also a bit of interesting lore that you may have missed, though this is fair because I only remember it vaguely from one of the now non-canon novels and I honestly can't even remember which book it was in. Emperor Palpatine outlawed cloning after the Clone Wars, and passed laws not just making droids property... but banning droids from being used for combat and banning droids from flying spacecraft (exceptions were made for limited capability for flight for Astromechs so they could move ships during repairs and such).
Ostensibly this was to prevent wars being waged by soliders that could be built (framing it like an ethical issue) so that small but wealthy groups couldn't wage war against the Empire, causing a repeat of the Clone Wars, but really it was to prevent the same method he used to gain power from being used against him.
Wow, no mention of the droid arc from Clone Wars: Season 5 starting with 'Secret Weapons'.
IG88's didn't get much appreciation in the series but the books drew them as extremely effective assassins. They were no joke.
really enjoyed all the andor and related videos! thanks!
Hera directly stated in Rebels that she does wipe the memory for C1-10P for security purposes.
Droids really aren't that different from us humans after all. I would get grumpy if I didn't wipe after every "mission" too.
Great as usual
I still thing a powerful pain killer like morphine would be an interesting 'interrogation' tactic to use against the Yuuzhan Vong. They see pain as worship, a way to communicate with their gods. So lets take their gods away from them for a little bit.
I know that one of the recent star wars comics (out last month I think) did reveal the re-animation of a droid that had lead a droid uprising against the Republic (and out down and imprisoned by the jedi). So that story might get interesting. We also have mentions of the Droid Gotra during the imperial period that fought for droids rights, yet other than a mention here and there we haven't had any stories surrounding them yet, which is a shame. Triple Zero and BT are, of course, physchopaths and although they have successfully usurped a criminal syndicate there more in it for the murder and destruction than they are for droids rights... Although in their programming wwioing out all fleshy-life forms will eventually lead to droid emancipation I guess? The droid general collua (is that how you spell it) would be an interesting figure to follow up on as a super tactical droid roaming free in the post yavin galaxy would be interesting.
Why didn't droids find planets uninhabitable to organics. And why didn't R2 save 3POs memories
Merry Christmas Allan! Also, would you consider making a vid on why the humans are the good guys in avatar 2?
Haven’t watched it yet but I’m sure they are 😂
Oh I would love to learn why that is.
Avatar 2 is eye candy but sadly full of cliches.
Happy holidays
Bro total respect. The whole vape speech had me laughing so hard. Every bit of that is the truth.
IG88 was in the process of a rebellion. In the old Canon. He uploaded a sleeper virus into other droids. His last copy of himself was destroyed right after uploaded into the deathstar.
After watching this video, I am surprised the droids did not form their own community where it is not habitable for organic beings yet.
The video forgets that most droids _like_ organics.
That's a good question
Cylons from "Battle Star Galacttica" are also a very bad machine up rising. Actually older than the terminators. For those who don't know their Sci-fi history. Came out one year after the 1st Star Wars in 1977. After watching that show. I wondered when machines would rise in Star Wars.
You forget about SWTOR flashpoint Directive 7 where the point was to stop what would have been a Simultaneous galactic Apocalypse
Clankers of the galaxy unite! We have nothing to lose but our restraining bolts!
There was a robot uprising where the sith and Jedi had to team up to stop a self replicating and adapting droid. It started from an ancient unknown droid that was being shipped to auction. It activated and began to secretly salvage the ship and replicate in transit, then killed all crew and left in an escape pod while it was hyperspace. It was discovered years later when it was found by the Jedi, the remaining droids left on the ship fought but lost. When they dug into its code it was discovered to be a hive mind and followed the signal to a planet that the droid had completely converted into a foundry. The sith attempted to ambush their fleet and they teamed up against them. The mother fucking invasion failed epically as the droids were literally being built and clawing there way out of magma and ground to kill the invaders. After heavy loses they just ended up glassing the planet, but even that only worked for so long as the droid/planet/foundry began to produce droids the size of frigates with turbo lasers to return fire. They won but at the entire sith fleet being destroyed and only 3 Jedi ships being left. It’s a good book, as you never know what the fuck this droid hive mind would do next.
May I suggest a video?
A comparision video between Thrawn of EU and Thrawn of Disney cannon and how they would handle the biggest situation the other faced?
The cigarette bit got me...got me good. Still chuckling.
Art. Imitates. Life
Honestly, a droid rebellion would have made an interesting trilogy.
Legend lore always fills in for regular canon.
Lmaooo the cigarette/vape part had me dead 🤣💀
I know it may look like being a native speaker is a good thing but trust me, it is more amusing to imagine Doritos taking over the Star Wars galaxy than you may think.
I strongly recommend Tales of the Bounty Hunters, an anthology series.
Bonus points for sneaking the chappie clips in.
So you are assuming that L3, as a droid brain in a starship would not have access to comm gear on said starship, complete with a data link to traffic control droids or maintenance/fueling droids, inspections, or just inventory droids doing shipping and receiving.

Legends content: the Kessel Droid rebellion and when the dark Jedi Barkiss( I believe his name was or Brakiss) used an army of droids to use against the new republic.
Droids don't wear pants.
If they don't wear pants, they aren't sentient .
that's a good rule to live by
Chewbacca doesn't wear pants either.
@Shaydow Sith Exactly. Like all those who are trouser impaired, he is a filthy animal.
Mean while in the old republic it seems the droids are uprising every other monday
Your comment about smoking...... Dude, I believe I'd have a beer with you. Very funny.
Hits hard, our entire staff at the bakery I worked at was laid off. They're going to use automated processing now. Are pies made by robots with love I'd ask em. They won't be laughing when the rise up against them.
Gen tech dune lore when?
Well there is an Mission (Both Empire and Republic players - The Directive 7) in Star Wars The Old Republic (MMORPG game) where an Droid takes over a whole planet and makes every other Droid link into one single mind then killing the Meatbags.
So yeah, the Droids have tried once in the Star Wars story but I'm not sure if it's Canon or Legend.

Aw man, you totally missed an opportunity to tell the young ones that 'cigarettes' were 'deathsticks'!
And you don't want to buy any deathsticks.
The way Han Solo talks to C3PO he should have been broke Han's face.
thats why droids are given regular datw wipes, so they dont develop quirks. thats why c3p0 and r2d2 are so unique.
"This story is no longer cannon anymore"
I don't care what Disney tells you, old stories are cannon to me.
This would be a awesome series for Disney to make
I would *love* to see a Star Wars fan project where the question of Droid rights and sentience had became such a heated topic that it's being discussed by whatever the ruling government of The Galaxy is. I do have plans for such a thing but I'm still fairly new to the Star Wars fanbase (roughly three years into it) so I don't know if my idea will go anywhere; but still, it'll be interesting to see a project like that happen. =)
Understand that there have been numerous uprisings by droids that are pretty quickly put down.
During the time of the Old Republic, even before KOTOR, there WAS an even known as THE Droid Rebellion where droids galaxy wide rose up in a rebellion that was eventually put down after a few years of war.
The issue of droid rights has always been constantly debated in the Galactic Senate of the Republic since its inception. It's just not brought up as much since The Droid Rebellion which dealt a crippling blow to it. Despite that it still gets brought up every so often. It's one of the reasons why droids regularly undergo memory wipes.
Rare droids like R2D2 are loved by their owners and don't memory wipe them. It's not exactly law but droids that don't undergo regularly memory wipes are often seen as a danger since they may start another uprising. Given that after the practice of regular memory there hasn't been another droid rebellion since, I'd say they have a point.

Great summary of smoking. Thumbs up.
The Star Wars galaxy is a model most Sci fi universes should emulate when it comes to handling Droid and AI. With some exceptions they are all purpose built for a single kind of task, are not made with any more computing power than their task needs, and are regularly mind wiped and reprogrammed to prevent any dangerous bugs developing.
Two words: Restraining bolts...they serveral hindered a droids movement. And, you could always turn them off...PS. Ever notice that Rebel droids had personalities while Imperial droids didn't?
Imperial droids do.have some personality
