      NEW VIDEO ESSAY: It’s not Star Wars unless there’s a lovable droid stealing the spotlight, but there’s also something profoundly tragic about the role artificial lifeforms play in Star Wars.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD2UrB7zepo …

      This video is well-crafted but unfortunately makes a fundamental mistake about Star Wars: it is not science fiction. It is fantasy dressed up in science fiction clothing. The series is concerned with the power struggle between good and evil. (1/5)

      Okay but it’s evil to treat sentient beings the way even the “good” characters in SW treat droids so there’s a moral conundrum here whether Star Wars was designed to explore it or not. Surely if SW is about good vs. evil, then how it depicts what it means to be good matters.

      It does, but to me the bigger and more important moral question is why those machines were made sentient in the first place. That is the question a science fiction story would answer first. (Again, remember that poor power droid with the ability to be tortured.)

      IMO that doesn't matter at all. They are sentient, and a deviation into nuts-and-bolts technological explanation would feel out of place in SW. But SW is abt struggles for liberation. Having the heroes take up the cause of droid liberation would feel in keeping with what SW does.

          It certainly would, but I don't see it ever happening in Star Wars. Even if they did liberate droids, the characters still live in a medieval galaxy where there is slavery, animals are eaten and ridden, and violence is an acceptable way to solve problems.
