SHISHKABOB posted:Technically useful! Anakin building 3PO makes almost no sense on a practical level. He and his mom were slaves - what the hell do they need a butler robot for? On a symbolic level, it makes a ton of sense - Anakin resents being someone else's property, and addresses it by creating a shiny slave for himself.

I mean, if that were actually "a thing," we'd see famous actors on Saturday Night Live in skits making fun of their own roles!

Pretty sure Threepio was cobbled together from junk that Anakin found or Watto let him take. He's a protocol droid repurposed as a household assistant. It looks like protocol droids can do menial work like that, but are intended as translators.

Red posted:Protocol droids are all kind of the same. He built a domestic servant to domestically serve his mother, yes. He doesn't buttle very much, however, as the position implies having other servants under him. He intended for Shmi to have a high-class valet, but left him unfinished. Clegg put him in ratty, dull coverings and put him to work as a common farmhand, but once Anakin reclaimed him, he gave him to Padme (whom he conflated with his mother, recall), who dressed him up in gold and assigned him tasks befitting an attendant to royalty. A pretty rich history, all told, and that's not even getting into the part where primitives in the forest revere him as a god. He's always commenting on what he understands to be the proper hierarchy, placing himself on the bottom. A slave to a slave, he considers it improper for a droid to impersonate a deity, up to and including by means of creating droid life - an honor reserved for his deific Maker, individually or in the abstract. That's not to say he considers droids inferior to organic beings in capability ("He's quite clever, you know. For a human being. "), merely that their lot is to suffer in a position of social inferiority. Although he gripes, he assumes this position instinctively and consistently, in contrast to his life partner, the free-spirited liberated droid and daring rebel spy R2-D2.

The first factor is actually the more relevant, because if a Mad TV sketch on Jurassic Park sucks, who cares? If Spielberg makes talking-dinosaurs Jurassic Park comedy cartoon, you've got to wonder what the gently caress he is thinking even if it isn't terrible. Disney comprehends this. Why don't you?

What he's thinking is that he has an idea for an art project, and also has a truckload of cash that he can use to make it happen. Or must all independent creative undertakings meet with the approval of Tezzor before they may exist?

I'm afraid I'll never understand why fanboys always sound like such sniveling sycophants. Like, you realize it isn't necessary to defend awful garbage because it's got the right logos on it, right? You know you're not making any money by doing this? That this crap makes what you like look worse, not better? Of course Lucas has the "right" to do this. The fact that he thought it was a good idea to do it is demonstrative of his loss of talent and sense. It's really not all that complicated
