Didnt you love it when Rey went into explicit detail about every single object that can be considered scientific??

Davros1 posted:The prequels were good. Attack of the Clones: Great Star Wars movie, or greatest Star Wars movie? It's my favorite. Once I started appreciating the Anakin/Padme plot line as cynical cringe comedy the whole thing just clicked for me. Not that I disliked it the first time I saw it, but it really helped put everything in context. It is surprisingly humor focused for such a visually ambitious film. Every time I've seen the Geonosis arena scene it seems more blatantly sexual than ever. On my most recent viewing was the first time I noticed Padme riding a horse drawing a chariot in the middle of the fight followed up by Anakin jumping on the caboose and swinging wildly away with his light saber and went "oooh." It's also a rather filthy film. Picard Day fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Jul 22, 2016 |

Different droids are given different degrees of on-screen personhood. R2, 3PO, and BB-8 are treated as full characters, no different than their flesh and blood co-stars. Then you've got the B1 battle droids that, at least in Phantom Menace, are just remote controlled drones, no more "people" than a real world military drone.

El Perkele posted:Nope, they're very explicitly enslaved and considered subhuman. Yes. They are slaves. Being a slave is predicated on being a person. If they were just robots, then they wouldn't be slaves. The fact that they are an enslaved people is consistently made clear. The fact that they are discriminated against is something that is shown early in A New Hope.

They're sort of linked to the control ship, and they're individually dumb as hell, but they clearly have personalities, right? They never dwell on it of course, but they have military ranks and different voices and stuff, they're kind of weirdly cowardly. I'd certainly class them as people on the strength of their appearance in Phantom Menace, even more so if we take the other movies into account as well. I just battle droids and I can't have you badmouthing them.

Oh don't worry, I'm a fan of the B1s (although they went a bit overboard with them in the early episodes of Clone Wars). Speaking of Clone Wars; yeah, they definitely have a lot more individuality in "things-after-Phantom-Menace"...but I find it unclear if they became 'people' by way of being given individuality, or if they always had programmed personality but that was squashed by the control ship signals.

jivjov posted:Oh don't worry, I'm a fan of the B1s (although they went a bit overboard with them in the early episodes of Clone Wars). I just feel like the simplest explanation is that yeah they have the standard droid personality package. Like the Trade Federation clearly built them to have that kind of autonomy, that's the whole advantage of a Star Wars droid over a real world drone. And in Star Wars technology, thats the "cheap" solution. They're "droids", so they have personality. They were also designed for a very specific purpose and to be completely disposable, so I'm not surprised that they fall to bits when their control ship blows up. Like their brains are probably hard wired to be constantly receiving that signal, it's as vital to them as blood or air. e: I checked out a few youtube clips. One of the first thing a battle droid says is "Uh oh". That's a person thing to say! Shanty fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Jul 22, 2016 |

B1s are pretty clearly self aware in TPM, they use individualistic language, have ranks, and order each other around verbally.

Either B1s are programmed for sarcasm, or they are people. The idea that battle droids were programmed for sarcasm is pretty stupid (who trains their soldiers to be disrespectful of authority?).

No I know, I'm just wondering when they got fully developed individual personalities. Were they there from the beginning and masked/hidden by the droid control ship controlling them all? Or was the personality a result of them being given more autonomy after the weakness of having a sole control ship was exposed?
