The Star Wars galaxy is just lucky IG-88A got destroyed along with the second Death Star, although presumably all that sleeper code is still in there somewhere.
Canonically, droids gain sapience the longer they go without having their memory wiped. R2 has never undergone a complete memory purge, and neither has BB-8 to our knowledge. Nearly any droid can eventually achieve proper sentience given a long enough time. That said, I can fully get behind the idea that the will of the Force guides certain droids to experience more and avoid wipes, just like it guides organics along similar paths. After all, droids are living beings just like any creature, and they are protected by the same Living Force as the rest of us.
I am glad the five classes are the same as they were in Legends. The 'old' New Essential Guide for Droids was a favorite book of mine as a kid, and while Droidography is a bit shorter and lighter of a book from the reviews I have seen I am glad it has incorporated some inspiration from the New Essential Guide.
I feel like they would be class 3, because protocol droids could also perform analytical tasks, (such as finding out the odds), and class 1 were mainly for medical reasons.
@@mattschultz3748 The First Degree droid classification also included those focused on mathematics. Military tactics boils down to probability calculations that are a fair bit more complex than the odds of a ship making it through an asteroid field. Could a class 3 pull that off? Maybe, but they weren't designed for it.
yes, in the video he specifies that class 4 were specifically made for combat, and that is not the primary function of tactical droids. they are more like class 3.5
@@evrint It's not hard to tell the difference its just that battle droids in episode 1 were 00M and battle droids in episode 2 in later were in the B series
Each time I hear about this system I always expect these classes to be about droids' intellegence levels - how close they are to being actual AIs with claims on free will. And each time I get confused by it being about their purpose. It just seems kinda arbitrary.
Wait, how does a droid build itself?! There would have to be some kind of original AI involved from the very beginning, whether or not it includes itself as part of the final product, and as such some kind of sentient programming would have to be included somewhere.
C-3P0 only has starting lines in Episode 4, 5, 6 in episode 1 it was Kenobi, in episode 2 it was either the pilot or Typho, in episode 3 it was Anakin in Rogue One it was Galen Erso, in Solo it was Han, in 7 it was Poe or Lar San Tekka, in 8 it was not important, but it might have been Poe, Leia, or Holdo

I think that droids who defy their programming, like Alex discussed in the latter part of this video, would probably fall into a class of their own. Class Six, perhaps?
The droid classification numbers seem a bit screwed up to me. I would have thought the menial task droids like an MSE droid, or a Power Droid, or flying camera droid would be your basic, class 1 droids, because they have one function only, and go upward from there, with Protocol droids, who have to much more nuanced in their programming being the highest level, as they approach almost organi-levels of sophisticated reasoning, and a versatile, multifunction droid like an Astromech being somewhere in the middle, in terms of it's intelligence. Battldroids, though more sophisticated than your average labourer droid are still designed around a specific function, and aren't much better than a class 1, in those terms. Commando Droids are a bit more sophisticated than that, because they have to be able to adapt to situations on their own, whereas Assassin Droids would have to be at Protocol-Droid levels of intelligence and reasoning - ie actually able to think ahead and adapt, rather than tactically react from a database.

i think the force gives certain droids more sentience and will than others. I specifically see this in R2-D2 and BB8 the most

does the Tactical droid and Super Tactical droid falls under Class 4?

Which one does the probe droid fit into?
Exploration droids are one of the subclasses under Class two.
blupunk01 Thanks!
Good point about the self driving cars, I suppose that would make a Rumba another class five droid. Is Alexa a class three then.
B-1 are the best droids.
Why did the Storm Trooper buy an I-Phone?
Because he couldn't find the droid he was looking for. 😃
Would a BD unit be class 2 then? Or class 1?
Droids could become self aware which would allow them to defy some if not all of their programing.
Why did the empire outlaw battle droids?
