That's the only change, the thing that makes you public enemy?
When we went to this planet a while back, the place was miraculous, the whole thing was a city, every surface covered then built up endlessly into the atmosphere. Most of that work was done by droids, like BD-1--you've met, right? They're all a little like him, designed with a specific purpose, but with personalities, with feelings. That was a feature. I don't think it was because it made them more relatable. I think it was because it made them easier to control. A personality that's been beaten down into demoralization is more suggestible than a bot with complex programming.
On Earth--my Earth--a synthetic that could experience emotions is the miracle. A thousand huge brains have made it their life's work since we had the concept of automation. Most of the time, it was already there, we just didn't know how to recognize it.
