pegusus123456 03/29/23 11:42:45 PM #1:	The shows and movies I've seen treat droids like they're real people, but it seems to vary person to person whether they're considered real people in-universe. Like they very obviously have distinct personalities and opinions, even the most basic ones, but they're still relegated to being tools and forced into whatever role they were built for. --- http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif http://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Zikten 03/30/23 12:28:56 AM #5:	I've always been disturbed by the memory wipe thing. If someone did that to a biological being, it would be a horrific crime. But nobody seems to care if its a Droid. In Rise of Skywalker, I did not like how nobody cared when C3P0 lost his memory. He was very emotional and even said goodbye. But they didn't really return the emotions. He even suddenly apparently realizes an alternate solution to their problem, half a second before the wipe. Its too late to stop it and it goes through. But nobody in the room seems concerned about his final words or that he might have just made a horrific mistake <cite>Zikten posted [p:972507271] in So in Star...

geno_16 03/30/23 12:57:45 AM #11:	Zikten posted... My phone isn't thinking, or self aware of its existence or have free will. Obi-Wan literally says in AotC, "If droids could think, there'd be none of us here.", implying that a droid's sentience and thought-process is still limited to it's programming to some extent. That said R2-D2 and C-3PO clearly "think" on their own several times throughout the series and 3PO in particular is repeatedly afraid of his own destruction or deactivation which is usually a key trait of full AIs (pretty much every organic vs AI story in fiction starts with the AIs developing a fear of organic beings shutting them down), so they're either extremely hyperadvanced droids (which considering one is a run-of-the-mill astromech droid and the other was literally built by a child slave in his free time, I sincerely doubt) or Lucas simply never fully thought through what a "droid" actually is. <cite>geno_16 posted [p:972507640] in So in Star...
