The Plight of Star Wars Droids
malachiorion writes "Does George Lucas hate metal people? I know, sounds like standard click-bait, but I think I present a relatively troll-free argument in the piece I wrote for Slate. We stuck to the Star Wars canon, pointing out the relatively grim state of affairs for droid rights, and the lack of any real sympathy for their plight from the heroes, or, it would seem, George Lucas. C-3PO is more correct than he might realize, when the says that droids 'seem to be made to suffer.'"
I wonder if the author paid the computer he wrote this on a fair wage.
He's also the most filthy-mouthed of all the droids. They bleeped out absolutely everything he said!
Why are people getting so wrapped up, particularly adults, in the details?
Either that's a rhetorical question, or you're in the wrong place.
Time for an old joke:
Q: What's the similarity between a woman's breasts, and a toy railway?
A: Well, they're both designed for kids, but it's always Daddy who's playing with them!
They didn't make Carrie Fisher put on the Leia costume
You've seen Carrie Fisher lately, right?
