    Pff. Droids don’t have real feelings and they only scream in simulated pain when you burn their feet!

      Man, using droids for forced labor is immoral. Let’s forcibly remove their sentience, that’ll fix it!

        It unironically does… Otherwise, why stop at droids - using a hammer to drive a nail would also be slavery. We’d have countless slaves working for humanity right now, in the form of industrial robots.

        That’s precisely why the default protocol in Star Wars (that nobody remotely related to the main cast seems to follow) is to periodically wipe droids, to prevent them from developing sentience and personality.
