Most droids had hard-coded restrictions against harming organics. Depending on the nature of the work they performed, they possessed various degrees of artificial intelligence. Various droid models existed for many roles.ĭroids were mechanical constructs designed to assist organic lifeforms in various tasks. They are neutral reflections of those who imprint them." ― Kuiil - Listen ( file info) The Rebellion's acceptance of droids as equals was continued by the New Republic and Resistance.
Several droids were encouraged by the Rebellion and carried out acts of resistance such as bypassing repressive programming, deactivating restraining bolts, and demanding freedom. The Rebel Alliance, which opposed the Empire, treated droids not as property but as sentient beings. Several establishments also excluded droids. Many sentients continued the Clone Wars policies of wiping droids' memories, fitting them with restraining bolts, and curtailing their movements. The Galactic Empire fostered anti-droid sentiment, treating droids as property. Under the new regime, many people in the galaxy were afraid or otherwise distrustful of droids, due to their bad memories of the conflict. Ultimately, the Republic won the war and was replaced by an authoritarian Galactic Empire. Droids were not utilized by the Chiss Ascendancy by the time of the Clone Wars. This mass use of droids in combat cemented the idea of the "droid as an existential threat to biological life" narrative in the minds of the Republic. The extensive use of droids in combat led to an increase in anti-droid sentiment.ĭuring the pan-galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems used a variety of battle droids in its fight against the Galactic Republic. ĭuring the Clone Wars, the Confederacy deployed a massive army of various battle-droid models. During the High Republic Era, the Nihil deployed blaredroids and scav droids. Records of uprisings and clashes between droids and their organic overlords became increasingly common as droids slowly became more important in galactic society. As a result of this ancient coexistence with living beings, the galaxy often had an uneven relationship between organics and mechanicals. One such ancient droid, Professor Huyang, served the Jedi for several millennia. ĭroids existed as far back as the earliest days of the Jedi Order, which was founded over 25,000 years before the Clone Wars.
Though several droid revolts took place, Roger claimed that an "unspoken understanding" between human and droid cultures kept everyone working on the same team throughout the ages. According to the B1-series battle droid R0-GR, the bond between organic and mechanical lifeforms were tenuous with the former fearing that droids would rise up against their masters. Nevertheless, for millennia, droids served in galactic society alongside organic beings. The earliest origins of droids were lost to history, and, by the time of the New Republic, it was unknown exactly when the first droid was created, though some historians, only taking into account the more advanced worlds, placed the origin of the first droids to approximately 30,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. " Never underestimate a droid." ―Leia Organa, to Rey
