What is more shocking to me is the blind spot towards AI slavery in the Star Wars universe.
Artoo and Threepio exhibit all the signs of being fully sentient and well rounded characters (certainly more so than most of the PT characters) and yet they are frequently treated as little more than utilities by everyone, regardless of their political viewpoint.
Jabba keeps organic slaves, the Empire is textually described as tyrannical and evil and they have organically grown programmable people (clones) but the Rebels are meant to be the good guys as are the Jedi in the PT (who use droids and clones as personable utilities too).
The ROTJ droid torture scene is done for laughs and Artoo himself laughs his nuts off at the thought of his 'friend' having the droid version of a lobotomy in ROTS.
