Pretty sure that's a feature, with the mind wipes to stop any naughty personality and programming to make sure that doesn't happen.

IIRC there's canon evidence that the droid rebellions have all been staged by the companies that make droids in order to implement laws that would let them maintain control over droids with those memory wipe and limiter plug methods remaining legal.

Option 1: droids are sentient/sapient, and droid ownership is slavery.
Option 2: droids are NOT sentient/sapient, and droid ownership is NOT slavery.
Given OP statement, it follows that droids are not sentient/sapient, and i'm happy to see it. Too many people think literally every droid is R2D2.

So you did go on a non-sequitur because the OP was talking about Tatooine and other such places, with droids never entering the equation in the first place.

Okay, knowing what it actually said is still amusing. But even without that context, I started laughing like crazy when I got to the part. Just... the image of it in my mind had me start giggling.
Aaaaaand there's the local idiot.

Or he's a Dark Side user, such as Palpatine, using a sock puppet account to convince people to join the Dark Side. ("We have cookies!")
So, yes, the local idiot.

He might be overconfident, but he's not wrong about the institutional bias John is starting out with. For "village idiot" he's approaching this in a remarkably cogent manner. You can't make rockets without playing with bombs and explosive chemicals, but if you're careful while doing so, that potential danger often fails utterly to materialize.
Looks like the videos have come to the attention of the galaxy at large.
Yeah some people where inevitably going to be afraid of what this means for the galaxy.
Not surprising that a lot of people would want in on it.
That's fair most people are idiots.
Hadn't considered that but most people wouldn't really want to give up their kids and this gives them another option.
This is so real that it shook me for a bit, this is the dude who's not in it for the power or religion but for it making his like better.
Can't blame him it's like a dream come true.
I like that the person respects and dislikes John for his revenge methods.
Actually lots of people have tried that and there is whole force orders that have done it.
Yeah making sure kids don't use the Dark Side is going to be a problem.
John isn't Master level just yet but he's getting there, I'd say he's peer level with Obi-Wan.
John would really appreciate this commnet.
This person isn't taking the Dark Side seriously enough.
Respect for knowing themself well enough not to touch the Dark Side.
They're rich and John isn't.
Things are going to change.

My personal reaction would be paranoid that all this data has seemingly been out there but lost:
"You know we should probably make copies of these videos available offline in case the government decides to take them down. And considering The Captain is recovering information that has been lost through time and data corruption, make some sort of hard copy for future proofing? On sheets of corrosion immune metal maybe?"

By the time of the clone wars, the confederacy will probably start recruiting force users into their ranks with Dooku as their instructor but Dooku will probably be bad at it bc apprentice-master system is not a good system to train them. Remember Dooku has like 2 padawans under his entire Jedi career.
On the one hand, factually he is wrong and the force would have been very heavily researched (though perhaps not with the latest scientific lab equipment, but Star wars tech doesn't evolve particularly fast, and can often be lost).
On the other, would he know that / would scientists know that...
I'd say probably? Their used to be a large with empire and a similarly large and important Jedi order.
And their are important tests that they did, like midichlorians (Including all the tests to see how it effects each aspect of the force) and cloning are most notable, but that likely would mean they did pretty much everything else too. (And I'm not fully aware of the canon, so I am likely missing a whole lot)
That, and its pretty arrogant to say 'No one has ever tried' it.
1. There are 1000s of years of history of space travel and sith and Jedi, and lost scientific knowledge, technology and data.
And 2. It would just likely have normally been hidden by the Jedi, like any other Force information. (Doubly true if you consider how many very immoral Sith Experiments there were.)
This should probably be changed to something like "There is no scientific knowledge available about studying the Force under laboratory conditions". Or something similar.
But its not particularly important, hes excited and could be miss-speaking anyway.

The funny thing for me on his point is there used to be a massive ship funded by the Jedi that basically had duplicates of the Orders own info, and it wasn't armed. It was a mobile lore repository and Jedi training center that was eventually shot down over Dathomir about 100-150 years before Episode I.
I would imagine that the Jedi Order does conduct research into the Force but they just don't publish the results often.
It would be interesting to see a study done outside the Jedi Order because a university professor/student will want to try a bunch of different theories that the Jedi don't do because of traditions and beliefs that are so old no one actually knows why those traditions and beliefs would passed down.

On the other hand they may actually find more people who would subscribe to their philosophy. It's hard to abuse Matukai training properly without devoting at least a decade to it. And that induces certain habits. If you are just doing moving meditation in your spare time you will not go beyond parlor tricks. It may allow you to keep in shape a little better but you are not going to be superhuman.
The very reason Matukai branched off from Jedi was because very few people wanted to deal with their training (and ideological differences of course) to achieve results that could be emulated by Force powers even if it is impossible for most Jedi to emulate all of them at once. Jedi don't really want to spend 10 to 20 years on Force assisted physical training even if the results are pretty spectacular.
And most people won't be able to stick with it.
If your university librarian can't find it, it's not unreasonable to claim it's never been done; if it's not available to the public (even if you have to dig for it and then pay for it), it doesn't exist from any practical point of view.
I imagine we're going to see lots of tiny force sects springing up; I wouldn't be surprised to find some places doing force meditation in schools or akin to tai chi in public parks, etc.
I can see the Hutts as a whole being annoyed; getting in touch with the force will hit the drug trade directly, and there are going to be force-assisted slave uprisings.

The 'net is going to explode, I think. Lots of people sharing their experiences and their discoveries on TheForce.hol, or whatever.
Soon, someone's going to have the bright idea of collating it all on a wiki system, so anyone who wants to learn any of the techniques at least has a starting point to work from and an endpoint to work toward.
I've found that having the group mind working on stuff gives a fuckton more results than what happened prior to the internet. Just look at the sheer amount of information regarding system mastery for 3rd Edition D&D, for instance, compared to any edition before then. That was the first edition that came out with full internet support, and there are literally hundreds of thousands of hours' worth of reading on every subject you could imagine.
I can't imagine The Force getting less attention than an edition of D&D.

Well the butterflies have gone full hurricane now.
Now the real story starts.
It will be fascinating to see what cracks first in society. My bet is that it is a kid that watches the video, gets pushed into a bad situation and the Force makes everything worse. My second choice is the heroic opposite, some random person learning this stuff stops a tragedy because of a bad feeling.

The Darkside can make even weak force users dangerous.
