Are there any Star wars stories where a droid and a human fall in love? There really ought to be

droids can barely think for themselves in SW canon - like they're literally slaves outside of the 'special' (the term iirc is manumitted or whatever) droids :(

IRL we have people trying to romance AIs that aren't half as clever or independent. I'm not saying that a human-droid romance would have to necessarily be portrayed as a positive thing (it might very well violate established ethics in-universe), but it would make sense that in a galaxy with trillions or quadrillions of people, there are a few that fancy a droid.

And manumitted droids do exist, so it doesn't have to be a master-servant sort of deal either

Closest I'm aware of is in some of the old EU novels where two of Luke's students are in a relationship and something happens where one of them has his consciousness transferred into a droid body.

badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
