Episode Title: The Tragedy of Droids in Star Wars
Produced by: Pop Culture Detective
Description: It’s not really a Star Wars story unless there’s a lovable or memorable droid stealing the spotlight. But, when you really stop and think about it, there’s also something profoundly tragic about the role artificial lifeforms play in the Star Wars universe.
