The robots always really fucked with me. Sentient but hard-wired to serve
What really gets me is how newer Star Wars media has repeatedly teased dealing with the issue but then drops it before anything interesting happens. In the Solo movie they literally had Lando fall in love with a droid and then fucking murked her. Just like every droid in the universe that starts to think it deserves rights, I guess...
Yup. The more I think about it, the more it bothers me. It makes me think of Asimov’s robot stories, and the Spacer’s ridiculous, harmful over reliance on robots.
