Star Wars: Dark Droids #1

[cyberghostface]

"Droids is a horror-fueled story — it’s legitimately scary, especially based on what we’ve seen before in Star Wars. The idea is that droids are being consumed by a monstrous entity called “the Scourge,” but they don’t reveal themselves right away. Instead, they stay in the spots where they originally were, within the power centers of the galaxy, watching, waiting, hating." -- Charles Soule

Oh no. They're going to get insulted in over six million forms of communication.

The atmosphere of the irreversibility of the disaster of murder spree going on the star destroyer is well conveyed.

Sky net approves of this carnage.

1) Brainiac called...

2) Wait, this thing is Aphra?

[cyberghostface]

It bonded with her before.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

*looks at non-Scourge name of this thing*

Also: Primus called...

That goes a long way to explaining how things are getting fucked up now.

She really does ruin absolutely everything she touches.

[remial]

so, someone is going to tell 3P0 to shut up, and he is gonna snap and kill someone? that could be fun.

[cainofdreaming]

"The odds that I will snap your neck are exactly 1:1."
"Never tell me the odds! ... Wait, what?"
*SNAP*

I'm sorry, I know they're trying to be serious, but I keep asking myself how one of those little mouse droids could massacre a dozen people... do you think they have little ramps? Are they doing Mad Max: Fury Road on the scale of a Barbie Dream House?

I see that someone has not heard the tale of Stabby the Space Roomba. (Something is deeply wrong with the Skywalker family, but we knew that.)

[shakalooloo]

Well, confirmation in print that Lando and L3-37 were lovers. Rude of him to put his feet up on her dashboard, though.

[dan_ingram]

Don't kink shame droids, buddy.

[shakalooloo]

She's no droid anymore. She's a disembodied, mouthless screamer trapped as a glorified route finder in a heap o' junk spaceship that is freely gambled between scum and villains.

Yeah, there is no part of that plotline that did not get really uncomfortable, really fast. Not helped by SW's inconsistent approach to droid free will.
