Posting them in separate posts means the latter vote overrides the first one, and the tally only counts your vote for Thunderous Force.

@ganonso can we have some sort of machine empathy trait? I kind of want Anakin to work on freeing the true oppressed in the galaxy: the droids.

Former Slave does this in part and Child of the Mother would reinforce it. You can also write-in an Aspect on machine empathy.

Droids are not the oppressed of the Galaxy. They are not alive or sapient they only act according to their programming. They are also controlled for a very good reason. Look up the droid rebellions to see what horrors the droids created when they fought organics for "freedom". Don't fool yourself into thinking they are like everyone else in the galaxy they are not.
 
Using Corrupt Power and Thunderous Force is just the same as the normal TL. Anakin doesn't train and relys solely on his high power to solve the messes he gets into. By being a true believer like Mace but with a will to go and do what is right and needed for the slavery problem we can go a whole new path. And Mace is likely to help he is always been one that is wanting to be more active and proactive.

Actually Star Wars is the franchise who gave us the Droid effect. GO-TO in Kotor 2 was able to ignore an integral part of his programming and R2-D2 gained a distinct personality through time. The fact they must be memory-wiped to lose sapience is a big indicator of their status.

[X] Unhappy Prophet

Vapaad lightsaber style sounds really useful with these two.

That personality is just apart of how they are made the R2 line was made specifically to be likable. As for the floating ball again look up the Droid Rebellion that set it all off. It was a virus that overrode all driods and caused them to just start conquering and killing people. They are mind wiped to keep glitches like that from happening and causing another widespread disaster. Again droids are not like living organics they are very different and acting like they are the same is what always caused things to go bad. There is a reason that droid technology is so bad along with computers and AI. The galaxy intentionally retards that development in order to protect itself.
 
[X] True Believer: You really believe the Jedi Code. Yes it's strange but you found peace in the teachings of the Jedi, even the reliefs given to you by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi. There is no passion, there is serenity, there is no chaos, there is harmony, there is no passion, there is peace. There is no death, there is the Force. You are not sure you understand all the ramifications of the words but you believe them. When you meditate you seem to connect with the universe, touching a light who fills you with joy. There is pain, there is darkness but you know in the end things will work out. This Aspect will be used to compel you into acting to the Jedi Code. You can invoke it to resist temptation by evil or increase your status among the Jedi.
[X] Blade of the Jedi: You are a natural with the saber and the masters predict you will be one of the greatest swordmen of the Order. It is good but it has prices. First you aren't a master yet and must train to not let your natural talent go to waste. Then skill with the saber brings rivals even in the hallowed ranks of the Jedi Order. It is also a temptation for violence is not the way of a Jedi Knight but for you it is so easy. Some even whisper your skill with the blade has atrophied your link with the Living Force. This Aspect will be used to compel you into choosing to resort to your blade even if inconvenient. You can invoke it to justify being able to stand or even beat more experienced opponents.
 
After the articles on Wookiepedia mention a revolution led by a HK-01, yeah I'm going to ignore/retcon this line of thought. You can consider Droids as AIs whose programming slowly evolves towards sapience. Well slowly for most, lines like protocol or astromech Droids are more quicker to do that. Or droids confronted to paradoxical programming

Due to most people being freaked out by the idea their tools can be persons, droids are regularily memory-wiped to ensure they don't become sapient. Which is of course freaky as hell. I mean Bail Organa has no qualms ordering C3-PO mind to be rewritten because the droid mentions he looks forward to tell Leia how great her mother was.

Note that doesn't mean Droids can't be evil. The whole line of HK-50 were sadistic and cruel beyond their stated directives, sacrificing efficiency to delight in their own superiority.
 
So instead of leaving a legitimate and reasonable reaction to form of alien thought you are going instead with people are just bigots and want to Lord over other beings? You also going to ignore the other droid rebellions that caused just as much death as the first one for as little reason as well?

Societies having troubles with robots becoming sapient is a stapple of science-fiction and despite appeareances SW galaxy is not a nice place. Most people will think machines exist to be tools and nothing else, especially those who are unable to speak for themselves. Add to that most Jedi and Sith did not sense Droids in the Force and you have a perfect rationale against "souless intelligence".

The guide is clear on this point
Over time some developped personalities that were antisocial

. Some, not all or even most.

Also the "other droid rebellions?" The Guide to Droids mention three incidents: The Great Rebellion led by HK-01. The taking over of an entire sector by GO-TO machines and Archa Sabis attempted coup. The third is where viruses get mentioned.
