When you're just trying to talk about a droid/human relationship, but first you have to get into a debate about droid sentience and the nature of personhood. This episode, we discuss traumatizing droid death scenes, contemplate how into the Falcon Lando really is, and ask whether L3 liked chillin' on Jakku. Plus, our opinion on diners! IN SPACE!
