Yeah, I read the Black Fleet books before Shadows, so at least one element of squick in Tyrant's Test was a complete surprise.

Spoiler:


The Fallanassi do show up again in FOTJ.

I bet there's a huge market for them.

The only squick about that is they're all metal. Ouch. And they have AI, so it would be more like owning a prostitute. Then again, the droids are programmed, so maybe not. There's a moral debate for you. People own blow-up dolls. And sex toys. How different would a sex droid really be?

I wonder if SW has droid rights organizations.

That's for sure. Makes my head spin.

A few of my LJ friends want to write fics about droid rights movements.

Seems like a really interesting topic. Only they never got around to writing them.

It would be a hard story to write, I think. You'd need almost all new characters (unless it was A/U).

The droids' rights debate is brought up in the ANH novelization.

Really? How interesting. I need to read that. Did they handle it well?

I don't even remember that being mentioned.

I do remember droid rights mentioned in another EU novel.... I know it involved Han and it might have been and NJO novel.

Speaking of which, Final Prophecy is really good.

It's just mentioned briefly that Luke figures it's not the time to debate the issue of droid rights, when he's told the droids have to stay outside the cantina.
