Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

Do they ever actually do anything prove droids are sentient in Star Wars?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Droids have personalities, hopes, dreams, fears, preferences and awareness of their own thoughts as well as awareness of their own mortality.

Sentience cannot be proven, since it is, by definition, a subjective sense of self.

But in terms of what has been said about droids in official materials:

There are different classes of droid, some of which are more sentient than others, and droids can gain sentience over time, which is why the empire regularly wipes their droids

This is anti-droid propaganda, all droids in Star Wars are sentient

I hate this. Just have them being cute, bumbling robots.

That works. They're all just movie magic at the end of the day

Do they ever actually do anything to prove biological life forms such as humans are sentient in Star Wars?

No.
