Maybe since the idea of organic/droid relationships was floated in the old Marvel comics more than once, it’s not bothering me at all. And Lucasfilm always had veto power over the comic storylines, (screams in the void posted about that in the SW Marvel thread recently) so one can infer they were okay with it back then.
thanks for the shout out Silverwook ! and the issue of droid rights goes all the way back to that first issue of that old Marvel comic that took place outside the original movie , the story arc of Valance the Hunter and Simon Greyshade and MasterCom on The Wheel deals with it as well .
