Though if I were almost a full-body cyborg, I would hesitate to model my replacement body on an IT-O interrogator droid.


Haha, yes, this guy. I wish there had been an earlier non-Jedi example of this type of full-body cybernetics, so that he could have made it into a WEG sourcebook. Those Cam Kennedy designs from the Dark Empire series(es) were great!

Because of this idea of wheelchair/repulsorchair droids, I'm having visions of Dune's Baron Harkonnen's antigrav harness having a droid brain (A Star Wars equivalent of a Mentat).

Words cannot describe the horror I'm feeling now. Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked


My first thought went here

That answers a question I posted a while back about the possibility of a Jedi B'Omarr Monk still being able to use the Force.

I'll do you one better - remember the Iron Knights. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Knight They're basically Force-using droids. Blah blah Shards blah blah organic crystals. They're naturally occurring light-based processors - one might encounter a quantum effects issue for nanoscale fractal-like structures in their 'substrate' that in essence introduces enough randomness for 'free will', but they're nowhere as messy in their 'biology' as actual biological entities - and they should be possible to replicate.

Hilariously, one can postulate a contaminant for their crystals that would turn them insane, or make them fall to the Dark Side, by the simple expedient of changing their color. Paint It Black, indeed.

Now I'm afraid to jokingly say something about hyper intelligent shades of blue.

The Hooloovoo, yes. If they Changing universes, consider Wihr-Kohl and joke about capturing them in Faraday cages.
