One additional peculiarity aside from the enorme care and expenses invested into the droids is the fact that they do not get memory-wiped, due to such droids like PR-1, ZK-711, HK-47 and some others proving quite well that droids developing personality quirks is a very minor price to pay for them having practical experience, instead of just the pre-programmed theoretical one. After all, experience is one of the few things that can't be bought.

Yeah, I'm pulling receipts. I know reading comprehension can be difficult for some people, and I'll admit I've used the Unreliable Narrator tool, which relies on using the position of narrator to potentially mislead the reader. Teron's omakes, though, tend to use a nigh-omniscient narrator, and it's literally said directly in the omake.

I'll come right out and admit I only scanned it, but would have bet a guest appearance in my next omake that we don't wipe our droids, because it would be catastrophically wasteful in both a Watsonian (droids learning and getting better at what they do is great) and Doylist (If you as a storyteller have the choice of there being a machine or a mechanical-person in a scene, which is more interesting? The mechanical person, duh) sense.

Now then, if you'll excuse me, I have dishes to wash and another omake of my own to plan.

Of course that just HAD to happen. This is version 3 of the Omake and I had from the last two attempts still DOZENS of tabs about droids open before giving up. Darn serial numbers, darn droid names, darn.. *GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE*

Well, as long as you're grumbling, E-3PO droids aren't developed until after the rise of the Empire. That's what the E stands for. They're made specifically to interface with Imperial data networks.

So early that the specialization they were designed for (and which causes their attitude problems) won't exist for several years?

*handwaves* "This is not the timeline problem you are looking for."

Besides, there are no E-3PO droids mentioned in the Omake at all. No, sir. No idea what you are talking about. :V

Sneak Preview!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Rebooted, Written-Directed-Narrated and Starring...

Samuel L. Jackson! With special guest Director Quentin Tarantino!

Cirian challenged legendary Jedi Master Mace Windu to a sparring duel. Here is a snippet of what went down..

Cirian: Hello, Master Windu. I have always admired your mastery of Vappad. You manage to keep your emotions in check.

Mace Windu: Blah blah blah. Whatever. Ignite your kriffing lightsaber right now, and prepare to get the worst butt-whipping of your life. I have strategies to go over with the Clone Commanders, I have to attend this stupid, stupid social gathering tomorrow, and I have to go kiss Palpatine's feet for some reason or another. Not literally of course.

Cirian locks sabers with Mace...

Mace:...why does it stink in this room, all of a sudden? What in the Force have you been eating, woman?

Cirian: WeeellllI I did get drunk with Senator Amidala and we ate a bunch of Bantha Stew...sorry to say..also is my my Ataro any good?

Mace: You're supposed to be leading the CNS, yet you can't be bothered to eat right before you come into a professional situation? And no, your form sucks..now I'm ending this duel...

Later on, in the Jedi Council Chambers..

Mace: You mean to tell me that Palpatine is pulling back half our Clonetrooper Commanders for his own gundark-crap Lifeday Celebration? When we're mostly on the offensive right now?

Obi-Wan: Yes, Master Windu. I'm perplexed as you are.

Yoda: Stopped, this must be. Immediately. Idiot, Palpatine is.

Mace stands up and opens a secret compartment on his seat; he pulls out 2 bottles of some expensive Corellian Brandy, passes a bottle to Master Yoda. They both down the entire bottles in less than a minute.

Anakin: What just happened...?

Yoda: Kriffed, the Chancellor is. Pissed, Master Windu and I am. Dead, tonight, he will be. Install your friend, Amidala, as interim Chancellor. New elections.

Mace: Forced-damn kriffing right, Master. Let's do this. Obi-Wan, if by some chance we die, you're the new Grandmaster. Anakin, you whine too much, if I had my way you'd still be a Padawan. Everyone else? This is gonna be fun.

*Mace and Yoda strut out of the room, cue spaghetti western music and a Fade to Black*

Yoda and Windu pair just might have the best odds of taking out Palpatine. Anybody else seems like a liability.

Hopefully Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ciaran and Asajj have time to grow up to the task.
 
I know its a Star wars design, but I can't help but feel that that chair would be terrible for sitting in for anything but lounging back. Like, it'd ruin her lower back sitting up for working at a desk or something.

Like most sci-fi thrones really. o_O

unless it's modular and has alternate forms. Think high-tech office chair fused with a recliner. press a button on that panel (or sequence to prevent accidental shifts), and it switches between a office/desk chair and the reclining throne. or to another form entirely.
