ALSO ANDROIDS ARE HUMANOID ROBOTS AND ROBOTS HAVE COMPUTERS IN THEM

Nuh-uh. Not always. Sometimes they’re synthetic organisms created in the laboratory.

Wookieepedia’s article on androids said:

Authors have used the term android in more diverse ways than robot or cyborg. In some fictional works, the difference between a robot and android is only their appearance, with androids being made to look like humans on the outside but with robot-like internal mechanics.[3] In other stories, authors have used the word “android” to mean a wholly organic, yet artificial, creation.[3] Other fictional depictions of androids fall somewhere in between.[3]
