Watched the original Star Wars trilogy with the kid this weekend and it’s been a long time since I have seen it. One thing that really stuck out to me was… what, thematically, is the movie trying to *say* about droids? The message seems to be that they are regular people like everyone else, and also chattel slaves, and also that’s it’s fine and also kind of funny? Like both Han and Luke are repeatedly shown doing obvious villain shit to droids and I can’t tell why we are not supposed to care

@glyph the grim tedium of Threepio and Artoo stacking up Jawa corpses to burn has really stuck with me since the last time I saw Episode IV and I think it's not disconnected from this point.
