This week, we are joined by our first guest, Michael Ben Silva III.
We recorded remotely this week, so there might be a few clicks
and buzzes. (We blame our podcasting droid, Emperor
Podpatine.)

Correction: Artoo isn't on Takodana in The Force
Awakens; he's on the Rebel base on D'Qar. Sorry about
that.
'Star Wars Special: C-3PO: The Phantom
Limb is a Marvel comic that explains Threepio's new
red arm. It is surprisingly tragic, as we explain.
Chopper or C1-10P is one of
the stars of the animated series Star Wars Rebels.
Dave Filoni describes him as the cat to Artoo-Detoo's
dog. He is usually fairly unpleasant, but some of us think
he has his reasons.
HK-47 is a beloved droid from the Knights
of the Old Republic series of video games. He frequently
refers to organics as meatbags, and prefaces his dialogue
with Statement, Query, or Affirmation, etc. as
appropriate. He's the best.
AP-5 or Snapebot
or Alan Rickmanbot is a droid that appears in
a recent episode of Star Wars Rebels and befriends
Chopper. His voice was an intentional homage to the late Alan
Rickman.
We never talked about it in the episode, but both Omri
(Threepio's friend from his comic) and AP-5 are RA-7 model droids.
Huh. Interesting.
Triple-Zero is an evil version of See-Threepio
who is programmed in over six million forms of torture. He
appears in the Darth Vader comic with his
counter-part, the assassin droid known as Bee-Tee.
IG-88 is one of the bounty hunters hired by
Darth Vader to capture the Millennium
Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back. He
is an independent assassin droid.
4-LOM is another droid who is one of the bounty
hunters hired by Vader, and he's also masterless. He's
partners with Gand Findsman / Legends schizophrenic Zuckuss.
B-1 Battle Droids (or as I call them, Rogers)
are the hapless minions of the Trade Federation and later, the
Confederacy. They are treated as utterly disposable by
everyone.
TAY was a Twitterbot created by Microsoft
that the internet ruined.
