Watched an episode of TCW on Saturday night... I have many questions about the episode I watched and the show in general, but mostly...
Why are there so many 'female' robots with huge boobs, huge hips and an ass that shakes when they walk? They were used as waitresses in a restaurant, seen wandering the streets in the background of several scenes and also as assistants to... someone. It all seemed incredibly sexist and very un-Star Wars (well, most everything seemed un-Star Wars).
Why do the robots need to look female? None look particularly male. The robots in Star Wars all seem genderless...
Star Wars? Sexist? I must have hallucinated that the only female main character in Jedi ended up in a metal bikini, chained up to a sex crazed slug smoking a bong. ;)
Has everyone forgotten what inspired Threepio's design in the first place?
Female robots in science fiction have been around a long, long time. And if you have ask why anyone would want a robot to look sexy, I don't know what to tell you. ;)
There were female robots in ROTS, but except for one cut scene, they were pretty much in the background.
