Chat corner 68: Droids
Welcome to this week’s chat corner!
Optional prompt
The topic for this week is “droids”. Star Wars is a franchise where the robots are characters as (or more!) beloved than many of the blood-and-bone ones. Do you have any favorites? Or un-favorites? What are your thoughts on droid sentience? And why do you think there hasn’t been a droid uprising yet? (…or has there?)
no subject
Oh, yeah... I always thought that "non-wiped droids develop quirks" thing to be a hint at emerging sentience.
The movie narrative itself can't really decide what they are. You have Obi-Wan offhandedly mention that droids don't think in Ep II, but R2 and C-3PO are treated as people, and even the battledroids are shown as having feelings.
