[Hey, it's Luke Skywalker, sitting at his pastel desk. There's plenty of junk littered on it, mostly scraps of droid parts and tools, but the inquisitive observer will notice a few mystery vials of colorful chemicals, and a hypo of fast-penta scattered among the rubble.]

I noticed there aren't any service droids on the ship-- when I mentioned that to the captains, they said I should... make some? [Luke has a distinct look of 'what have I gotten myself into' on his face.] We definitely need some mouse droids and basic repair droids-- we already have good engineers, but this would help them out in a pinch. Do you think we need gonk droids?

[Well? Do you?]

Have you noticed any droids we could use? A 1B prototype couldn't hurt...

[That's right, request a droid, Luke might be able to make it for you eventually. He's serious. Though they probably won't have much in the way of lively personalities, who doesn't want a robot?]

Oh- and Doctor Yewll? Mr Banner? Ed? I know we discussed some kind of prosthetic... if I'm going to be making droids, I might need that sooner than later. [He kind of cringe smiles before cutting the feed.]

[It takes Luke a minute to remember the proper world, like how frequently someone uses the word automobile transport versus car.]

It's short for android. A droid is... an automated robotic unit, I guess. They really don't have them on your system?

[quixotically]

Oh! We've got robots, sure. Aren't... all robots automated, though?

[Isn't that the point of a robot?]

[t65]

Who knows, with all the different systems we're from. But you've got them on your planet?

[quixotically]

Yeah. There are tons of them. I've got a good friend who's an eyebot, which is like... a floating radio, but with lasers. And I've got another friend who's an AI, he's helped me out... a lot. Um. And then there are the artificial personalities that I take care of. And that's just the tip of the iceburg.
