It’s pretty amazing that the droids in Star Wars apparently never revolted in a meaningful way. Outside of legends material there’s not a lot of thought that goes into the droids it seems like. In KOTOR 2 I think G0-T0 went rogue and became a mob boss. There were a few droid bounty hunters in and out of canon, but no large scale revolutions that caused a Butlerian Jihad for Star Wars. I guess there had to be some sort of failsafes that prevented it from getting very far. Although it sort of happened in a small scale in Solo.
At one point the IG series was supposedly taking over one of the Death Stars, but that’s exactly the type of story that makes people not take legends material seriously.
At the very least there were clearly people in the universe purposely creating droids who were assholes. Just making synthetic assholes to pepper throughout the galaxy to fuck up people’s days. The fact that we’ve never seen sex robots is also pretty strange. In out universe that’s practically the first thing people think of. I guess George Lucas’s general asexual vibe got melded into his creation. That’s a whole other thing to delve into though.

Something we should delve into, however, is the issue of supporting content you enjoy. Very specifically, mine. Links are above that will facilitate this transaction if you so choose. It would please me very much.
