The Horrifying Hidden Subplot You Missed in STAR WARS - After Hours

[@macacofrito]

" I have a dream of electric sheep" BRILLIANT WRITING.

[@thrashpondopons2776]

Yeah as I walk through the Uncanny Valley of Death...

[@tabletalkreviews]

Blue milkshakes was a nice touch!

[@missz.apocalypse2542]

I know

[@greekgoof]

I love their Easter eggs.

[@AnonEyeMouse]

I get the blue milk gag, but why does each person have two?

[@geronh]

They don't, it's a perspective trick. You're just seeing the milkshakes of the people sitting opposite of them.

[@SeMira71]

I was just re wating this and saw they have 2 purple waters sooo and then suddenly not ? Malfunction ?

[@emridatla3886]

"Maybe the next Star Wars sequels will be about the droids fighting for equality..." Little did he know that it was at this moment that he prophesized about L3-37 from Solo.

[@blvckcvrd]

Emrid Atla came for this

[@andyf4292]

a Skynet revolution,,, thats what they need

[@emridatla3886]

@Teun de Heer I kid you not, it's my favorite SW movie. Probably because 8 and 9 were so bad that they tainted the magic of 4-6 simply by association. And the prequels rank somewhere between the original trilogy and the Disney trilogy.

[@Dakarai_Knight]

@Teun de Heer i didn't think it was that bad. It was ok. Rogue one was better. 8 and 9 sucked horribly but solo was a solid middle of the pack and unremarkable.

[@habitsrabbit]

@@Dakarai_Knight at least 8 tried to be original.. still sucks but I give it props for being better then 9.

[@andrews5867]

"So Darth Vader is just an Uncle Tom for Droids? Uncle Tron?" Laughed out loud at that one.

[@occamsrazor1285]

"We don't serve their kind here." "It's not like they're going to order a drink." That was the point. They take up space for paying customers.

[@PaperbackWizard]

Is that really the point? Or does the bartender have a deal with the droid-stealing Jawas for a cut of however much money they make from selling the droids they steal outside the cantina while the droids' owners are inside getting drunk and/or sliced in half with a lightsaber? Now that "Tales from Mos Eisley" isn't canon anymore, we can safely theorize that the cantina is just a place for people to come to drink and get their property taken from them. It's exactly the kind of behavior you'd expect in a "wretched hive of scum and villainy".

[@A-Duck]

Then the correct phrase would have been "We don't allow their kind in here." No matter how you slice it, it was a dumb thing to say.

[@figrindantatooine]

@@PaperbackWizard I really like this idea. I wish that was the reason to it. I always thought the Bartender would turn out to be an old Clone and he hated Droids because he had to fight them and his pals were killed by Droids.

[@AnachronismNoir]

@@figrindantatooine See that's what I always thought! The dude was around during the Clone Wars, he would know how awful the droids were back then. He was alive in the shift to make droids feel pain, but still probably got swept up in some attack where he lost people. He acts like the kind of guy that lost people. It makes way more sense when you acknowledge that everyone over thirty has clear memories of how terrible the Clone Wars was for the galaxy.

[@polreamonn]

I say the same thing about other people who take up oxygen that I could be breathing.

[@mjvjohnson]

Lol I love these after hours episodes. You guys really do a great job with them. The writing, acting, directing, all good stuff. Well done

[@cracked]

Thanks friend.

[@drewvandeventer7092]

I was drinking when he said "I have a dream of electric sheep" and I almost choked.

[@papawheely4137]

What about the clones. We're they not essentially a slave army?

[@charliepotatoes001]

+Papa Wheely Actually there is some debate about the clone army being child soldiers since they age faster than most normal people. Imagine born into service and dying in combat by 15 or dying of old age before your thirty because clones age three times faster than everybody else. Remember Bolba Fett was the only clone to age normally and he was a child when the clone wars started and saw his father die at the hands of a Jedi before he was a teen.

[@sabrinamcclain162]

+Papa Wheely Definitely. There's an entire series about this in the EU. It's contreversial, but I liked it, it's called Republic commando.

[@_Xerota_]

+Papa Wheely They did each have chips implanted into them to make them loyal to the emperor, they were literally forced to execute order 66 whether they wanted to or not. They were also thought of as lesser individuals because they were replaceable.

[@notoriousbig3k]

+Xerota not true the implant did not worked on all clonessome clones did help established the Rebels and trained people military combat some continued to served The Empire and Anakin as Officers they were not forced to execute order 66all clones thought against the Jedi they disliked them also they dislked the Republic it self also some went rogue or mercenerie and not even acted by the chipBobba Fett did not even executed the order they were not forced by nothing they did it by own free will they had they had code number names but also all had nick names given by jedi or other people or by them selfs they loved war and stuff like that also not all did aged fastthey were not thought as lesser beign 100% Padme believed in re integration Anakin thought to keep themsome other wanted integration toother think of them as cannon fodder and so on also the clones were black people (kinda similar to a historical era in USA and EUROPE)

[@sonofzapp]

+Papa Wheely Why doesnt this have more upvotes? They over here talking bout droids n shit.

[@Beelzeboogie]

The Cantina scene never made any sense to me, Droids are just tools in this galaxy; why's the bartender all "We don't serve their kind here". Well no Mr. Bartender, I didn't expect you to serve my dictionary and my toolbox, but can I at least bring them into the bar with me?

[@GHOSTpssrby]

Beelzeboogie Well, a lot of businesses in real life don't want people around wasting space if they aren't going to buy anything. They're taking up room that other people who will buy something could use. Perhaps that's the reason.

[@Bluecho4]

RemiVicodin Granted they could argue "I need my property with me, because I'm afraid it'll get stolen in this wretched hive". On the other hand, the bartender could easily retort "my bar, my rules; I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone I feel like". And the main characters didn't HAVE to go to that specific cantina. There are other places they can look to hire a ship from.

[@petrahansen7067]

+Beelzeboogie If u go back to the original R. McQuarrie 1970's concept art in the 70's, to TPM(Ep.1), u see that most protocol&astro droids like CP30 &R2-D2 are usually neutral-functional or harmless. But they can also be sinister devices used by the Empire or the Hutts to spy on bar patrons or worse. Usually, Lucas emphasized the Hoth Imperial probe droid or Darth Maul's probe droids threatening nature w/menacing, overly synthesized droid voicing. But in fairness to the bartender he probably never saw either of those movies in 1976 when the cantina scene was shot. Also, there probably was more than one guy playing the cantina bartender, making droid cantina service policies that much harder to enforce consistently. Welp, hope that helped.

[@inkednpierced4u53]

+PETRA HANSEN I just commented on the not serving the droid reasoning in my comment....check it out.

[@kingjellybean9795]

they also dont want the owners charging up their droids and raising his electric bill....duuuh

[@RianeBane]

3:38 "Why would you program droids to scream?" Actually I think that would work as a much more effective "SOMETHING IS WRONG" alarm. Like when something malfunctions on your computer (ex: a USB port stops work), there is a beep or other sound to alert you, so you can try and fix the problem. The droids' screams serve the same purpose, except that it catches the attention of their owners/users better, because people instinctively recognize that type of sound as a call for help or a warning about danger.

[@cracked]

Am I just a droid?

[@GGoH_]

Yes... Yes, especially soren

[@cracked]

Jake Cunningham You ever read the news?

[@DaylightDigital]

Jake Cunningham Prowse is a psychopath

[@refrigeratorbuzz]

dat moment when you see a new After Hours episode and you click on it so hard your trackpad breaks

[@GamesFromSpace]

Jake Cunningham No, but his actual suit was black, which is the joke. And probably any skin that he had left after being burned by all that lava.

[@MyDamnChannel]

Let's hope Episode VII is subtitled "12 Years a Droid".

[@jaizernadal]

Its called The Force Awakens

[@S_047]

Yeah ep 7 was a crappy soft reboot

[@MabaseDrifter]

Oh sweet summer child

[@carlmclemore6104]

That would've been preferable.

[@MuadMouse]

Easily the best series on the channel: intelligent, witty, and consistent.

[@TheSadowdragonGroup]

Vader actually wasn’t cool with serving the Emperor. When Palpatine cyborgized Anakin, he specifically used outdated and ill fitting parts so Vader would be too clumsy and distracted by the itching and pain to rebel against him. Most of those buttons on his suit either kill him if he doesn’t press them at regular intervals or kill him when pressed and he’s too hurt to risk undergoing upgrades without the Emperor using the Force to keep him alive throughout the process.

[@Justmyhandle]

This has all now made me legitimately curious to see a full-droid lightsaber wielder in Star Wars (Grievous doesn't count, he was a cyborg like Vader). Imagine a totally mechanical character with no name or sense of identity. He can't blame it all on his programming because he doesn't know who or what created him or how his coding works. He just wakes up one day in a pile of junk, gradually puts himself together, and wanders the wasteland until he finds a dead force user and gets curious. Picking up and tinkering with the lightsaber, the silent droid eventually figures it out and discovers he has dormant combat protocols. Later, he finds a holocron at the sight of a battle between Force users and collects data on the history of Jedi. Rather than choosing a side, he goes off in search of his purpose and what it means to connect with the Force, sad to learn that he can never use it. So, what next? He goes all Bicentennial Man and embarks on a journey across the galaxy, having different experiences with those he meets and helps, including other droids, all the while seeking some technology or other means to complete a bio-mechanical evolution that would allow him to possibly tap into the Force. He would be like the Vision of Star Wars, an innocent and unique creation that comes to understand more about life than most sentient organic creatures. He would have a face as emotionless as any droid, but a soul like no other :)

[@michaeldirmeyer11]

That sounds so cool. If there's another star wars movie can it be this?

[@---du6cl]

Yes please.

[@arijverhey7366]

+Keith Harris This would make an amazing spin-off series.

[@dylanbartholomew7822]

IG-88 was a droid bounty hunter that kinda just said, "ehh fuck it, I'm smarter than being just an average droid," and up and built his own robot life. That would be a cool anthology movie, or pair him with Boba Fett.

[@Justmyhandle]

Carson Mcfuggins Very interesting, that hadn't occurred to me. I would never have the droid character meet his creator though. He may find clues to it, but ultimately some aspects of his origins would remain open to the imagination. He wouldn't be the only one of his kind like the original Frankenstein's monster either, but rather the last. You could say he belonged to a once plentiful assembly line of highly advanced hacker droids, built by an unknown extinct race beyond the Outer Rim. As he gradually evolves from machine to an organism that can tap into the Force, he cares less about where he came from and focuses more on where he's going. He doesn't require a name or to be considered by others as "alive" or "human". He simply wants to understand what he can become and what the Force itself means. He does however, over time, come to feel something for the lives of others.

[@comixgod50]

Oh I remember watching as a kid and feeling a twinge of rage every time C-3PO was put down, maimed, mistreated, insulted and everything. He knew 1000 or more languages! He lived the clone wars! He knew Darth Vader! (well I think that got erased or something), that being said, him and RD-D2 are treated very badly for robots with feelings. Also, Star Wars makes the worst robots.

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

Pretty sure R2 kept his memories and they only erased C3PO.

[@comixgod50]

Would love to see C-3PO get his memories back or something. And go on a soul searching adventure. He is honestly my favorite character in the "Orig' Trig". I loved his look, his abilities (knowledge n' stuff). and his overall character.

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

comixgod50 that would be an amusing subplot for the new disney films.

[@rayaqin]

"I have a dream of electric sheep" GIVE THAT MAN A BLOODY MEDAL for that line, its so much awesomeness in one sentence

[@j.r0gue]

I *just* (after many a re-watch) noticed that after "May the Fourth be with you," Daniel O'Brien starts to say "and also with you." As a recovering Catholic I hold this as further proof that we were meant to be. Surely comment #1,767 will make him understand this. Also I forever call it the Orig Trig. Also Dan's comments on emotions. Ok this may be the best episode.

[@j.r0gue]

Also PKD references... WHY IS THIS NOT MY LIFE

[@j.r0gue]

"Like Uncle Tron? I did my best."

[@johnsmith-sp6yl]

+Jen Rogue ''recovering catholic''? what?

[@teemusid]

I made a delivery to Lucasfilms on May 4th about five years ago. I was disappointed to find out that they didn't do anything for the employees, not even serving cake to make the day feel special.

[@JustaSimplefact]

How do you find out the comment #? Is a joke going over my head? I feel like it is...

[@BennysGamingAttic]

Droids can't drink or eat anything, so the bar tender doesn't want someone hogging up floor space that isn't buying anything. Go to a restaurant and just sit around in the booths and tables without buying anything. Also, a good reason for programming droids to scream is to tell the owner that something is wrong, like a blue screen on your computer. R2 was shot (he shorted out and needed repairs) and he screamed, letting everyone know that he needed help.

[@mervviscious]

I miss these guys and Katie so much I watch the entire series every few months and they are still hilarious... BRING THEM BACK NOW!

[@seanthebluesheep]

Cracked fired basically anyone of any value or talent a while back to pay freelancers to write for them and also totally nixed the expensive video team too. Michael runs a channel called Small Beans now where they have a show called Off Hours with some other Cracked alumni. Katie had a brief cameo in one, and other members of the gang are likely to appear in future.

[@TomBombadil168]

How is what Lando did wrong? He was given a choice, give up a guy he's kind of friends with or get the entire community he's in charge of taken over and probably destroyed knowing the empire. Lando is one of the best people in Star Wars, putting the needs of the masses over a handful of people.

[@Nerdist]

The Force is strong with Cracked.

[@CountPenta]

"I have a dream of electric sheep!" Good one Cracked! :-D

[@Revan12345678]

I've seen this episodes at least 5 times. This is the first time I notice they're all drinking Blue Milk. I love you Cracked.

"Star Wars is racist" - Calls all of the other races in the cantina 'monsters'

[@andrewrobertson6043]

racism =/= speciesism. Her issue is that many of the star wars aliens are simply racial stereotypes put on to an entire species. That and its poor showing of black characters. Also considering the definition of monster is a large, ugly, and frightening imaginary creature many aliens do qualify.

[@Akihito007]

Andrew Robertson More proof that liberals have to crap on everything due to their own insecurities.

After hours needs to come back. May the force be with you 🤘

[@wyvermlord]

It is actually touched on in the expanded universe that droids are sentient but they go through frequent mind wipes to stop them developing personality quirks. which is why r2 and c3po are so unique as they were caught up in event and never got any wipes.

[@acs197]

Blue milkshakes. Well done ;)

[@CornOfTheBreads]

isn't the Droid assassin sentient and a fully free willed being and requires no orders to do what he wants, but chooses to be an bounty hunter? IG 88 was his name or something?

[@wyoboy01]

Yeah, there were four of them A,B,C, and D. They did achieve sentience and were destroyed one by one.

[@mansamusa1743]

Corn Bread Other droids appear sentient too.in KOTOR I T3-M4 seems to give a rude response to you asking him questions,we don't know because all he says it beep boop and the like.HK-47 was fully capable of independent thought and named organisms as "meatbags".On Korriban a Sith Assassin Droid says he values all life and you can help him leave Korriban,this wouldn't be possible without sentience,as he was programmed to kill with question,yet he is a pacifist.In the Clone Wars series droids mention that they are "Independent Thinkers",showing they were sentient,though they say older CIS models relied on a mainframe computer,so those ones weren't,though the computer may have been.In the EU the red droid next to R2 is force sensitive and purposefully damages himself because he foresaw Luke wouldn't be able to defeat the empire with him,but he only coild with R2.An old CIS droid who painted himself red called "Mr. Bones" is also sentient because he obviously deserted the CIS since they died out long ago during his time,and he'd have to be sentient to disobey orders.

[@MarkLatimerRussell]

Alright. This aint right. This EXACT idea hit me when i was 10. I loved the idea of droids fighting for equality and recognized sentient position. I got bionicals and made a whole god damned story arch! This video was my exact childhood star wars fanfic...

[@embirlily]

It's a real problem.. every new episode I binge watch a bunch of them.. nearly of them. It's so addicting O.O

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

I actually quite liked the part where Daniel connected the Droid armies to the torture of droids in the _origidge tridge_ Lucas is good at unintentionally making sense, while bad at... actually trying to.

[@puffball4484]

The droids are programed to have rational agency (for whatever fucking reason) so they probably develop other emotions rather than being programmed to feel specific things like fear. Same thing with the androids and replicants in the Ridley Scott universe.

[@ssun9074]

I've called the first three movies "The Oridge Tridge" ever since I watched this episode about 7 or 8 years ago. It's always a pleasant reminder of this series. Thanks After Hours!

[@TheBigBadTributer]

To quote Doctor Who "Is a slave really a slave if he doesn't know he is a slave?"

[@ChickenWilickers]

Nope. Is there any value in free will if we can prove that exists, or it doesn't? Probably not, as long as perceived free will exists, happiness or contentment follows.

[@TheBigBadTributer]

PotaTOES What if what we perceive as free will is just our brains just making us think we have free will when we actually don't

[@ChickenWilickers]

The British Sabre If that's the case, which I feel might be the case, then its still my case. We don't need free will (in the freedom vs. determinism sense) to feel free, and that our happiness and functionality isn't affected by its existence one way or the other. Extending this idea towards societies, I feel that if societies were to take away certain "freedoms", but we never came into a situation where we would need those freedoms, then it would be effectively the same as having those freedoms. This informs my view on certain authoritarian regimes which trade off political freedoms for economic prosperity. Please note my usage of "feel", I'm not arguing with a certainty one way or the other, and I'm a little tired atm so grammar/coherence might be lacking.

[@flamevortex]

Is being a slave a bad thing... if you enjoy it?

[@garysanders6091]

Emish Vortexus Would you even be able to know good from bad, and enjoyment from pain if you're a slave taught simple tasks and prevented from free thought? The only possible way to judge would be to be on the outside looking in. If we put all humanity in each individual cages from birth it's still bad, and essentially inhuman in character.. So objectively bad, subjectively good?

[@brainstorm623]

Is it wrong that I laughed at R2-D2's scream?

[@SpcGiraffe]

"I have a dream of electric sheep speech" funniest thing I've heard in a long time

[@ryusthered]

Actually it's stated in Knights of the Old Republic that most of the droids who seemingly have emotions counter to their programming is from having gone too long without a memory wipe. And I think that C3-P0 and R2-D2 have definitely fit that requirement. And pain was so that they wouldn't do something stupid like walk into a mulching machine to get to their tasks because it's the shortest path. Counter that!

[@masterfulmoonlighter5402]

Um, Darth Vader's not black, he wears black. He's actually probably the most pasty white of any character in the saga.

[@ElspetheTirel]

+B.K. Price The guy who voices him is black though, James Earl Jones.

[@BKPrice]

Right, but the guy who voices him is not the character. James Earl Jones is black, Darth Vader is white. JEJ is not being portrayed as evil, the white guy is. If you want to complain about a black guy being portrayed in a certain way, the CHARACTER has to be black, not the voice actor.

[@ElspetheTirel]

I understand all that, I was just explaining why she said that he was one of the black characters in the films. lol.

[@BKPrice]

Got it. I did actually know JEJ was the reason some of these whackos call Vader black. I was just trying to let them know that a voice actor or costume doesn't determine the ethnicity of a character.

That may work for the real world, but this is fiction, we have FTL travel and souls and the force, such is fiction.

[@kbPhionex]

ProjectEchoshadow who says there are souls in the star wars universe there is the force which binds to some organic life forms but most life forms in star wars don't have the force so it isn't a soul

[@wea1117]

The droids are treated like they treat them because of Asimov. The constant debate about artificial life (if it is actually life) and intelligence in his novels is key inspiration to the way the droids behave. In my opinion, at least.

Pain and fear are good things for droids to have, for the same reason why it's good for humans to have them. To prevent damage.

Christopher Worley it is all about balance.one cannot exist without the other.

[@50ftFrankenstein]

Christopher Worley From my point of view the Jedi are evil

[@Mexican1632]

U Wot? So kill both the jedi and siths so there would be no reason to keep a balance.

[@Senscion]

Mexican1632 they wouldn't cease to exist. They would come back, probably by different names. The balance of the force will continue, no matter how many you kill.

[@ZVPieGuy]

Christopher Worley The Empire blew up Alderan just for shits and giggles

[@Sharptooth101]

Hearing the REM references made my day

[@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz]

"He should give a stirring 'I dream of electric sheep' speach." LOL. So many little gems.

[@kinglink9541]

Umm Darth Vader is not Black. And Lando was cool. He really had very little choice but to betray Han and his friends. Vader threatened to destroy his entire city. I am not saying what he did was right but it is no easy decision. Also, of course they programmed droids to be slaves. Its common sense. What do you think your smartphone is? This was pretty funny though.

[@TheRatesMusic]

not one of them touched their blue drink but the straws keep moving around

[@Esquire311]

Its Just Editing More Than Likely They Were Drinking Or At Least Playing With The Drinks Off Camera

[@TheRatesMusic]

more likely they shot everything from one side, then everything from the other side to edit together later and the straws got moved in between. The drinks themselves don't move or change level.

[@Esquire311]

Well Maybe They Do Different Takes..Idk

[@nekromimi]

Also, there are occasional scenes of Michael and Katie where they have purple glasses of water and there's no milkshakes to be seen, then in the next scene with them the milkshakes are back and the water is gone.

[@EobardFerguson]

Yo, check out 2:30 .

[@keebler503]

'the orig. Trig.' I'm so using that.

[@baxtersmom279]

I can't get over how much I adore and love Soren, Katie, Daniel, and Michael.

[@heathers7132]

Love the overall message: some every day things are so wrong and horrible, there's no real way to lighten it up and not be horrible too. So might as well "own" it and laugh. Sincerely, Directly Sarcastic In Ambiguity

[@kitsunekyubino9345]

What was that at the end about a hack? If anyone knows, please respond.

[@bbofun]

Are you referring to the "the whole series was made by a hack" line? "Hack" can mean a creative artist who creates low-quality, derivative work, but is, nonetheless, successful. Thus, some say Lucas is a hack- although others disagree.

[@kitsunekyubino9345]

oh. Okay, thank you.

[@ChickenWilickers]

Andrew Horn Huh, did the term "hack" (when used as a noun) always include the "nonetheless, successful" part?

[@TheThreeHeadedDragon]

+PotaTOES No

[@bbofun]

Well, hack somewhat implies that they write/create this way on a regular basis, or have become known- which means, at least, some level of success. Artists who create low-quality or derivative work who are unsuccessful are just ignored, rather than called hack. Uwe boll, for example, is a hack (IMHO)- the guy who directs a student film that's just as bad as House of the Dead isn't- at least, not yet. But that's just my feeling.

[@roachdoggjr5647]

But Darth Vader was played by David Prowse, an English Bodybuilder.

[@carultch]

And his face was played by Sebastian Shaw in Return of the Jedi.

[@TheTribalButterfly]

What flavor are those delicious looking blue milkshakes??? They looked so interesting it was distracting - I need to know!

[@chrisjm325]

They're a reference to bantha milk in Star Wars, which is blue.

[@roflcopterannoysme]

+chrisjm325 I thought they were just blue heavens.

[@corsaircarl9582]

Emotions in R2-astromech units are actually a bug in the system that normally need to be refurbished. The only reason R2D2 is such an effectively badass droid is because his emotions. Imagine R2 as the grumpy, grizzled, jaded veteran who has seen it all, but can repair a ship using a socket wrench and a toothpick, R2 is fearless and yes he feels pain and gets messed up every once in a while, but he soldiers through.

[@BaconFrisbee]

By FAR the best episode, and that is saying something

[@leem4386]

Wait wait wait! Did Katie refer to Darth Vader as black? But...

[@colterwebb6382]

Liam O'Connor James earl jones.

[@inotaishu1]

Was referring to that one captain as "black" part of the joke (like with Vader) or did she really think this obvious Maori actor was Black African?

[@thomaswillard6267]

The Rock is Samoan but still considered Black.

[@inotaishu1]

Thomas Willard Your point being? Is this supposed to be a defence of the one drop rule?

[@jaydot6785]

This episode feels forced. We don't treat our iphones like slaves. And they don't treat droids like slaves

[@ASpaceOstrich]

Do you pay your Iphone a regular wage? What kind of medical plan do your apps have?

[@mastermarkus5307]

***** It doesn't need a medical plan.

[@jaydot6785]

Humans need money and medical plans. That's why we work for them. But droids are big iphones with a danger sense to know when they need repairs

[@cracked]

Feels "Forced" eh?

[@jaydot6785]

OK that was pretty good

[@KriegsMeister27]

I agree with all points except one, the droids don't "feel" pain, they just communicate damage in a way more relatable to organics. For example, when chewbacca is carrying C3PO and bangs his head on the Falcon, 3PO could say something like, "Please be delicate as any jarring trauma can lead to my servo-gears being dislodged which would render my computing systems inoperable," or "OUCH, that hurt." Or another example the famous R2-D2 scream, all it is, is just R2 sensing a threat to itself and others and is just conveying that information in the most primal way possible. The same reasoning could be extended to emotions as well, but it made my brain hurt pondering about programming emotions and whether or not the droids actually feel them as humans, or are just input-output programs of stimuli resulting in emotions or are our emotions exactly that, just simple programming.

[@enesvy]

R2D2 is the true hero of Star Wars. The entire series revolves around him making heroic, self-sacrificing decisions. Without him, the rebellion would've failed!

[@DaddisHouse]

Darth Vadar was White, HELLO!!!!

[@futuramayeah]

we didn't know that until 1983, he could have been black up until then because lukes dad could have been black and his mom white, the reason we thought he was black was because he sounded like James Earl Jones

[@Nesenda]

WRONG! 1980, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaG0pJ5vmKyjf6M

[@DirectorCM]

I Hate When People Label Darth Vader As A "Black Guy" During Their Debate About Racism In Star Wars.

[@DirectorCM]

***** You Don't Say?? That's Like Saying Elmo Is Black Because He Is Voiced By A Black Guy Lol. I'm Referring To The Character Darth Vader Not The Guy Who Does The Voice Overs. Darth Vader Is Still NOT Black.

[@EvilDrWang]

***** He's wrongskin.

[@Cursed_Mark]

***** Hes not green.

[@3atd3adj3sus]

DirectorCM what's your problem with James Earl Jones?

[@catherinestonehouse298]

I'm not a Starwars fan, but droids tend to be machines, I don't see how they have feelings or how they are called slaves. They are tools, like a toaster or a computer.

[@OwlQueenAnimations]

Catherine Stonehouse because unlike machines irl, droids in star wars are sentient beings

[@catherinestonehouse298]

Then starwars takes place in a different universe than Earth?

[@OwlQueenAnimations]

Catherine Stonehouse well obviously it doesn't take place in the real world, but Earth is never mentioned or visited in star wars either. but you never know, we could get to a point in technological advancement where this does become a real life issue. also, comparing a sentient android to a toaster is like comparing a human to a jellyfish.

[@catherinestonehouse298]

In order for a machine to have feelings they still have to be programmed to feel that way. Also I assumed that star wars was in the same universe as earth because star trek is. It would make sense, just saying.

[@OwlQueenAnimations]

Catherine Stonehouse well yeah, it's assumed that a fictional earth is somewhere far away, because it takes place "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away", but it's obviously not the real world, so they can have fictional technology like sentient machines and lightsabers. it's not really whether or not they're sentient that's the issue, it's pretty much canon that they are

[@Youngisgod]

“Daniel, who the fuck cares?” “Exactly my - the fuck - point!” Best thing Daniel has ever said!

[@kwyncy]

The most reasonable idea is that in a universe as dangerous as SW you need robots to get the hell outta the way. Setting them to an overreacting level of selfpreservation also makes Artoo a heroic droid because he doesn't have any sense of fear in combat. Although Degobah was a lil scary it does have a Dark Side nexus on it.
