A battle droid singing about how he wasn’t born to serve the army is the funniest thing i’ve ever heard.
I mean, it technically wasn’t _born,_ it was built
No human is meant to serve either but because people are evil or dumb or both we have to have militaries
B1 Battle Droids (the old OOM trade federation ones) were originally created as mining robots… so it’s technically true.

The fact that this fits so well with the view the CIS had of the republic, thus why they wanted to rebel, is mental.

It occurs to me that Luke Skywalker cannot sing this song, as he is both a military and senator's son.
