Thank the Maker: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* C-3PO's comment about the oil bath Luke gives him in ''[[A New Hope|Star Wars: A New Hope]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]]. [[Expanded Universe]] stories have established this as a quasi-religion among droids.

** Just try not to think about who 3PO is inadvertently thanking when he says it, though...

*** There's actually a rather touching comic about that called 'Thank The Maker'. When 3P0 got separated from the group and shot to pieces by stormtroopers, Vader wanted to take a look and immediately had [http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/cmdrzoom/Thank%20the%20Maker/SWT_06_06_TTMaker_03dneahoti.jpg flashbacks].

** In [[Attack of the Clones]], upon entering the Geonosian factory where battle droids are being mass-produced on an automated assembly line C-3PO remarks: "Machines making machines! How perverse!". This implies either a programmed or self-evolved mentality that droids should only be created by organic beings.

*** Some [[Fridge Brilliance]] support for it being programmed- there was at least on major robot rebellion in the distant past of the Star Wars galaxy. It would make sense that no one would want droids making more of themselves after that.
