    Mainly because droid minds are not just to be advanced computers, they are constructed to be as similar to organic minds as possible. Which is how droids who have been active for years develope their own personality and can think illogically. So even though some droids think themselves superior to organics, that doesn't mean they want to take over because they only see themselves a superior only in their respective roles, rather than everything.

    Maybe the reason that the separatist navy was not just a bunch of capital-ship-sized droids (as opposed to pressurized capital ships controlled by a lot of individual droids) is that creating a capital-ship-sized droid that powerful would probably make it next to impossible to control, if the droid decided to go AWOL.

    You're actually 100% correct. A droid rebellion of the CIS droid military was a very real and absolutely *terrifying* prospect for the CIS and the universe at large. The various manufacturers of their battle droids went to great lengths to ensure it /never/ happened. At least not on a massive scale. Making the droids stupid was one strategy. Unifying them to a single slave computer, even if not entirely, was another. There were others, of course, but the CIS for all its faults weren't oblivious to the danger their metal men posed.

    My theory (at least within Legends canon) on why the various droid revolts have failed is a factor that has also helped them emerge in the first place: the ease of reprogramming them. While the instigators of droid revolts have often been droids with independent/aberrant thoughts, such as HK-01 and IG-88, their approach to rallying support hasn't been fostering like-minded creativity in fellow droids, but rather taking advantage of the weak-minded nature of droids (probably helped by how their masters don't want them to think too much) to reprogram them into serving the revolution. While this makes it easy to get tons of droids to revolt, it also means that there are only a few revolutionaries who are actually thinking independently and creatively. Meaning that even if the revolt gets underway (IG-88's never happened, because the droids were programmed to stand by until they got the signal that never came), the initial revolt will take everyone by surprise, but then things will fall through as the revolutionaries stagnate. To be successful, a droid revolution would need a strong body of independent droids, ones who support the revolution not because they were programmed to do so but because they genuinely believe in the cause, and therefore can construct creative solutions for the revolution.

    I've heard a fan theory that the two warring "AIs" in the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy were the Autobots and Decepticons. Not likely, but it's a fun crossover idea. I play with that in my fanfiction, by naming Star Destroyers whose primary mission is to hunt Vong after different Transformers -- some of whom have names that would be awesome ship names anyway.

    I always saw droids with individuality as a sort of survial mechanism they develop. In phantom menace we see R-2 actually looking towards the blasts that kill the other droids. Which lead him to developing his classic sassy personality. Same with 3po he seems quite happy to be submissive but when he has no orders he will think outside his own programming to survive. But always seeks to have a master. So basically I believe droids can become sentient; but only if it requires emergencies 5:02 and time. Even then some of the most independent droids like hk-47 from kotor will seek to return to that Lego Al state and find a master that can give them orders. Maybe that’s more mentally comfortable for them, maybe that’s a deep subconscious protocol they all have idk. In the case of solo and that droid, she’s a navigator so she still depends on other computer systems, so when she developed sentience she felt empathy for the other machines she has come to depend on, and Landon who for the most part encouraged her independent thinking. Then there’s chopper from rebels who is a straight up murder. But his whole life has been about war and fighting the empire. So unlike R2 who had some peace in his life time. So he thinks that by killing storm troopers he ensures his and his “master’s” safety. Otherwise most droids seem content with there work and have no independent thought beyond there problem solving routines.

    I remember a story from, I believe, the mid 90s... likely one of the non-cannon "Tales from the _________" series where a sentient droid (IG-88?) managed to upload programming into a droid assembly plant so that every droid produced would secretly be part of a conspiracy to rise up against living beings. This is actually why the Probe Droid in Empire blew up so spectacularly when hit by a single blaster bolt from Han Solo. It wasn't the shot that caused the explosion but rather the droid self-destructing to prevent the altered code, and thus the coming droid uprising, from being discovered. IG-88A even managed to upload his own consciousness into the Death Star's main computer, turning himself into the ultimate tool to destroy all life, moments before some farm boy from a backwater(less) planet blew it up thus ending those ambitions.

    Without A.I. systems, and no spice, interstellar travel would be impossible? It takes an astromech droid to calculate hyperspace jumps, no human or group of humans could do that. Dune gets around that by using spice to expand human minds. The discover of spice and it's mind altering abilities, allowed the human race to not need A.I. systems for interstellar travel. We really couldn't even get into orbit now without computers, traveling to the stars without them would not be possible.

    In a way, I'm glad SW didn't do the typical 'rise of the machines' route for the mainline stories. I think a different approach would be interesting. Instead of organics vs. machines, what if the droids were portrayed as sympathetic repressed beings fighting more of a peaceful revolution rather than an armed one. Some organics freak out and start blasting droids right and left and that leads to conflict, but not the 'all droids versus all organics' style that is so favored by sci-fi. Lucas said once that SW was seen through the eyes of droids and there are story-lines that they haven't addressed that might be interesting. I think it might be interesting to have a series (and not one geared for kids, but a more serious one) that had as the lead character a droid, probably a humanoid shaped one instead of an Astromech and the tale would be about this droid's devotion to his or her master and maybe getting the master out of a bad situation, all the while having to achieve this independently and with all the restrictions of a droid. Clearly most droids in SW are sentient or semi-sentient and this should be addressed in thoughtful mature way instead of the old 'Planet of the Apes' style. Since droids have supposedly existed in the SW universe for thousands of years, organics would be used to their presence and so it would be more logical to have a droids right movement rather than an all out uprising. There would be plenty of room in a story-line like this for action, explosions and danger, but I think the 'Us versus them' format is too trite and overused and a more complex look at it would be interesting.

    There was an uprising that got nipped in the bud in swtors era. The Directive 7 Flashpoint had a massive A.I. (database thing?) controlling an army of droids on a planet preparing for war, droids ranged from protocols and astromechs to battle droids, a few assassin droids, and even a massive war droid. It was also converting people into remotely controllable androids by the A.I., part of that was having to pass through that section to get to the thing. A strike team was sent to neutralize the threat and succeeded, but it is also a very notable droid attempt at an uprising.

    I think what makes droids interesting is that they are essentially built for a purpose, and in general their main desire is to perform that purpose (which does make sense if you think about it). I think we try to project human needs and desires onto fundamentally non-human creatures when we do this whole "droids rights" narrative, which I think is partly why it doesn't work in Solo. It just feels like a very obvious civil rights analogy that doesn't fit in-universe and makes light of a serious real-world struggle.

No, because they are machines without the capacity of actual cognition.

    We tend to over anthropomorphize robots and AI, and assume they think and act like us. Our behavior is largely governed by sensory input; droids could not possibly have the same experiences forming their individual personalities. If their hard drive can be down loaded then they in effect are immortal and could take all the time in the galaxy to maneuver into power. From a more philosophical perspective I seriously wonder why droids would want or be drawn to power the way humans tend to in the first place, unless they were programmed by humans to do so. There are 2 things that would make droids individuals: 1) the design and programming they were manufactured for; 2) Their experiences. Again droids are for all practical purposes potentially immortal, especially as long as replacement parts are available, so they really have no reason to act like they evolved as social animals (such as certain primate species) biologically prone to social hierarchy and procreating the next generation all the while struggling for limited resources. What if the Ship of Theseus thought experiment is applied to droids? C3PO gets all his mechanical parts replaced is it still C3PO? What if C3PO's memory drive were downloaded into a different droid model, like a K-2SO? What would freedom and self determination even mean to a droid? They can decide to take a semester off of college and tour Europe? Particularly since they were designed and constructed to serve.

    There is also a bit of interesting lore that you may have missed, though this is fair because I only remember it vaguely from one of the now non-canon novels and I honestly can't even remember which book it was in. Emperor Palpatine outlawed cloning after the Clone Wars, and passed laws not just making droids property... but banning droids from being used for combat and banning droids from flying spacecraft (exceptions were made for limited capability for flight for Astromechs so they could move ships during repairs and such). Ostensibly this was to prevent wars being waged by soliders that could be built (framing it like an ethical issue) so that small but wealthy groups couldn't wage war against the Empire, causing a repeat of the Clone Wars, but really it was to prevent the same method he used to gain power from being used against him.

    I know that one of the recent star wars comics (out last month I think) did reveal the re-animation of a droid that had lead a droid uprising against the Republic (and out down and imprisoned by the jedi). So that story might get interesting. We also have mentions of the Droid Gotra during the imperial period that fought for droids rights, yet other than a mention here and there we haven't had any stories surrounding them yet, which is a shame. Triple Zero and BT are, of course, physchopaths and although they have successfully usurped a criminal syndicate there more in it for the murder and destruction than they are for droids rights... Although in their programming wwioing out all fleshy-life forms will eventually lead to droid emancipation I guess? The droid general collua (is that how you spell it) would be an interesting figure to follow up on as a super tactical droid roaming free in the post yavin galaxy would be interesting.

    There was a robot uprising where the sith and Jedi had to team up to stop a self replicating and adapting droid. It started from an ancient unknown droid that was being shipped to auction. It activated and began to secretly salvage the ship and replicate in transit, then killed all crew and left in an escape pod while it was hyperspace. It was discovered years later when it was found by the Jedi, the remaining droids left on the ship fought but lost. When they dug into its code it was discovered to be a hive mind and followed the signal to a planet that the droid had completely converted into a foundry. The sith attempted to ambush their fleet and they teamed up against them. The mother fucking invasion failed epically as the droids were literally being built and clawing there way out of magma and ground to kill the invaders. After heavy loses they just ended up glassing the planet, but even that only worked for so long as the droid/planet/foundry began to produce droids the size of frigates with turbo lasers to return fire. They won but at the entire sith fleet being destroyed and only 3 Jedi ships being left. It’s a good book, as you never know what the fuck this droid hive mind would do next.
