Talk: Uniblab

Welcome, Uniblab!

Hello, Uniblab, and welcome to Wookieepedia! We hope you like the place and choose to join us in building the best Star Wars encyclopedia there is. Here are some things you should know:

Wookieepedia is the Star Wars encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but we are not a general Star Wars forum nor an all-inclusive trivia site.
In-universe articles are written in past tense and from a neutral point of view. Our Manual of Style and Layout Guide form the basis for writing on Wookieepedia.
All additions to Wookieepedia must be sourced and attributed to a reliable, official source. Fan fiction is welcome on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki.
As a registered Wookieepedia user, you are entitled to a user page and a unique signature. Eventually you will also gain the right to vote on community matters.
Remember to be nice to your fellow Wookieepedians. Avoid making personal attacks and engaging in edit wars. Using multiple accounts is not allowed.
Talk pages and forums are part of the public record and comments on them, including your own user talk page, should be left intact. Remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~

New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our help pages will get you started, and the Jundland Wastes sandbox can be used for test edits. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, you can consult our FAQ, ask a question in the Senate Hall forum, visit our official IRC channel, or leave me a message on my talk page.
May the Force be with you! —Lewisr (talk) 01:25, February 11, 2019 (UTC)

Pro-tip: some slaves have (and assert) free will. Some of them become heroes

Regarding your questions and comments here, you and your players don't have to play droids if you wouldn't enjoy the game that way, but you might be interested in the droid rights movement and manumission, appearing both in Disney's new canon and in the old Expanded Universe of Legends. Manumitted droids have the rights (and presumably responsibilities) of any organic citizen, including the right to and responsibility for taking care of themselves.

see manumission in canon and in Legends

Also remember, both in Star Wars and in the real world, slaves have been treated as property subject to the will of others, despite having free will:

to obey (exactly as ordered),
to help (sometimes without even being asked),
to oppose (deliver the food as asked, but spit in it; take a nap in the field instead of plowing it), or
to attempt to flee or otherwise free themselves from their "masters".

As a slave, Anakin Skywalker worked and flew a podracer for Watto, and seemed happy to do it.
As a slave, Princess Leia was less happy, and killed her "master".
R2-D2 usually seems happy to help; C-3PO can be helpful, but freely expresses dismay about doing so.

Hope this was of interest to you. May the droid workforce be with you.
