But I'm going with the "droids are just very complex toasters that are connected to a very sophisticated internet" theory. Droids don't have feelings, they have programs that mimic expressions of emotion, which programs were designed by living things for the benefit of living things. They can't be "enslaved" any more than any other form of emotion-evoking art can. Do androids dream of electric sheep? No. This is why Jedi don't gain dark side points for callously destroying countless droids.
You can hit someone on the head hard enough and wipe their memory. But we weren't intentionally designed with a spare appliance that's kept at every mechanics shop, designed to do the same.
Anyways. Where ARE the rebel snowmen?
I think they're hung up on names. They seem committed to avoiding proper nouns like "Hoth" or "Endor" in naming the Legion squads. Maybe they are trying to decide what to call them. I vote for "rebel garrison".
Well we know they aren’t connected to the internet, otherwise R2 and 3PO could remotely warm each other about threats.
in Star Wars not wiping droids memories on a routine basis leads to them developing personalities and forming attachments to specific people. Example: R2 who’s basically never been wiped.
And, in SW:TOR there actually is a flashpoint around the attempts of a droid civilization to liberate itself from enslavement by meatbags (thanks HK-47), and the decision on how to proceed with their freedom, or continued enslavement, actually does net light side/dark side points.
Most Jedi simply don’t even recognize droids as individuals with autonomy, which is the crux of many light side/dark side moral discussions. Others do.
