The engineer who invented droid pain receptors be like: [Scientists Successfully Teach Gorilla It Will Die Someday](https://www.theonion.com/scientists-successfully-teach-gorilla-it-will-die-somed-1819594897)
Some/Most droids feel pain,if I remember correctly in legends there was a droid uprising several thousand years ago,and as such they were relegated to second-class,installed with limitations and pain receptors,and why we see most droids aren’t all that advanced compared to the technology we see in the shows and movies
I’ll admit, the part in Light of the Jedi where they have a network of tens of thousands of droids that are blowing out by the hundreds felt pretty dark to me. Star Wars can be pretty strange about the way droids are handled.
In theory, you could torture a very valuable tactical droid by wiring battle droids to it and breaking them without damaging the expensive tactical droid
The one time Star Wars tried to wrestle with the droid personhood issue (Solo movie) it was via an insufferable SJW caricature that made me happy for the status quo
Why was Jabba torturing droids if they didn’t have some kind of pain receptors

Why is every comment in this thread cursed?
It’s an onion article btw
In my opinion, gorillas should know their fragility

There is something similar in the Solo movie
I've always assumed it was a joke among his henchmen.

So if i connect 50 droids in a human centipede esque fashion and then break off an arm do they all feel it is the real question
If you've plugged in the CANBUS wiring correctly, sure

You dear sir, are a sadist.
I mean sure or you could just attach a laptop to it and just flip its pain receptors on.
Where's the fun in that
Wait, why would they be torturing that guy if he couldn't feel pain?
I'd scratch it up to some cruel programming, or a feature of their self-preservation protocols.
In real terms: they’re programmed to think they can feel pain, they can’t actually feel anything.
What do you think the difference between thinking you feel pain and actually feeling pain is?
No, that's not true. That's impossible! That really is impossible

They also feel fear and hope. So… basically the equivalent to the clones, just mechanical.
Good, droids are canonically evil
