Paternalism of the Worst Sort

Back in the early days of the U.S. civil rights movement, before the civil war, there was a lot of false abolutionists. Even a lot of the Garrisonians that sought emancipation for the blacks did not want equal rights for them as well. I know, I was around back then. Andrew is one of these false freedom fighters. He keeps arguing that the droids aren't treated well, yet ignores the droids own expressed views on the matter. Pretty horrible, I'd say. At least I'm honest, none of this paternalistic pandering crap. I'd like to say that Andrew's horribly degrading attititude toward the fictional creatures does not reflect my own.

He simultaneously claims he wants better conditions for the droids but also devalues and disregards the expressed opinions on the matter (made by C3P0). He argues for them but does not respect their opinions. This is a throwback to early Jeffersonian arguments for abolition. Let the droids speak for themselves, I say.

Maybe all this Star Wars is getting to be.. we're at about 11 hours now. Luke is about to scream in horror when he discovers his father's identity. Poor kid.

Actually took me a while to post. The movie's over. Going into episode 6 now.
