It doesn't make you a pedophile.

It would be closer to bestiality. :lol:
Droids aren't people, you know.

Can we know why you ask this peculiar question?

Poe Dameron's actor claimed that he played the character as if he were in love with another main character. He said it could be a Droid.

Now I wonder how old BB-8 is.

So Star Wars has a long history of over powered characters. Anyone have any they want to name? I have a list.

Palpatine (he is the driving force to the plot though)
Rey
Galen Marek
X2
Cassus Fett

Did I miss anyone?

Giant wall of clones in your way? Just rush them and do a primary attack. That'll kill all of 'em in one go.

Malak? Really? I mean, he was strong, but I wouldn't call him overpowered. Totally with you on Maul though. That saberstaff was vicious.

Valkorian is overpowered but it's worth noting that unlike many of the characters in my list he frequently doesn't get his way. Revan stopped him from invading the Republic at its weakest, he couldn't beat the Hero of Tython, he lost control of both the Sith Empire and the Empire of Zakuul, and his sleeper agents were mostly defeated.

You know what this thread needs? Random EU facts. Here's an EU factoid.

During Episode VI when Mon Mothma is giving the briefing prior to the Battle of Endor she is not sad because she is remembering the Bothans who died to retrieve the Death Star plans. Rather she is sad because she just received confirmation that her son Jobin had died during the Battle of Hoth. Jobin is the rebel on the intercom who informs his comrades that Imperial troops have entered the base.

You mean did they know he was a Sith? If yes then no the only reason they question why he was all gray and had yellow eyes because in Revenge of the Sith. He kinda lied that the Jedi attacked him and made his face so deformed.
NOTE! The Jedi Council does not rule the New Republic they are just Peacekeepers

The force caused the conflict that made your precious droid die.
So basically the force is malicious.
