Speaking as a cyborg who works with droids, all I have to say is I hope not,

Ever tried having an intelligent conversation with a battle droid?

I had a conversation with a state highway patrol officer once, but he was a real Dick, not an artificial Robert.

Here is one advantage of the technology...one of the Dicks that the Guest refers to is getting his hapless victim to electronically transfer the fine to the police fund ....

C-3PO and R2-D2 are standing on Salisbury Plain, beholding Stonehenge. C-3PO says, "Just think, R2, of our glorious heritage. This was built by the ancient droids!"
