I let out a very soft gasp
#‘its experiences’ did you mean: #poe dameron awake at 4AM singing BB-8 songs he makes up as he goes #poe dameron running back into a firefight to save a disabled BB-8 from certain destruction (sustaining a shoulder wound) #poe dameron speaking in binary even though BB-8 tells him he sounds absurdly stupid #poe dameron sewing a little hole into all his tents so that BB-8 can charge next to him while he sleeps even when they’re on recon missions #poe dameron referring to BB-8 as ‘my friend’ and making sure his programming equips him to fully understand what that means #poe dameron always asking BB-8 to do what he needs instead of ordering it #poe dameron rewriting the astromech default programming that would force BB-8 to call him master #poe dameron rebuilding BB-8 by hand himself whenever BB-8 gets damaged #and keeping his hard drive and his audio sensors live so he can reassure BB-8 as he goes that it’s all going fine #IS THAT WHAT YOU MEANT BY ‘EXPERIENCES’ #DID YOU MEAN ‘POE DAMERON’ #because that’s what BB-8 would mean #‘strong loyalty subprogram’ is one way to put it #‘loves poe dameron right back’ is another (via @gyzym )
HOW VERY DARE
It strikes me, thinking about this, that self-preservation protocols strong enough to make a droid “skittish and easily frightened” are not exactly the most sensible things to program if the droid is being used in large part to help fly a rebel fighter plane. Surely, when selecting a droid for this purpose, you’d want one a bit more unflappable, a bit more willing to face danger. Which leads me to believe that there are only two really reasonable conclusions. Either:
- a) Poe loved and believed in this round little droid so much that he ignored all of the above, secure in his faith that BB-8 would rise to the occasion; or
- b) he was the one who added those self-preservation protocols to a standard model, because he didn’t want BB-8 getting hurt if he wasn’t around.
This actually reads as if BB-8 has developed humanoid feelings. I.E., a human will avoid doing dangerous things as a matter of self-preservation, but if someone they love is in danger or needs assistance a human will try to help their loved one by any means necessary, in spite of the fear.
So basically BB-8 is hardwired to protect itself but will willingly put itself in danger for Poe because he loves him.
I love this.

may I not be indifferent to suffering,

empty and alone, without having done enough.
Look Guys, We’ve Got to Stop Demonizing Poe and Finn
People are mad because they want the plotline of “hero rebels against abuse and brainwashing, fights back and kills abuser, and wins Rey’s affections” to be Kylo’s plot.
I literally just… I don’t understand? Did Leia abuse and brainwash her son? Did Luke? I don’t doubt the possibility that Han may have neglected him, but abused him? That would break my heart, as well as break Han Solo’s character as completely as Luke’s and Poe’s were broken in TLJ.
Because Finn may have technically had a family at some point, but he was stolen from them before he could even remember, so he *was* raised in an abusive and brain-washing environment, while Kylo *chose* the First Order, and was part of the brain-washing of others.
Listen, if you’re so desperate for a pale-skinned, dark-haired male villain who actually *was* raised in an abusive and brain-washing environment, go watch ATLA.
modern au star wars. rey, poe and finn all live in a one bedroom apartment with poe’s corgi. rey doesn’t have a social security number. leia signed the lease so poe would stop sleeping on her couch. hux is kylo’s manager at the gamestop
han and leia are divorced but have been living together anyway. luke lives on a ranch in the middle of nowhere in arizona and they used to visit him every christmas but eventually leia got tired of trying to figure out what “ok so there will be no signs at this point, but after three hours you’ll see a rock. turn there” means
luke and han are the exact opposite sides of the antigovernment spectrum, which becomes a problem after luke realises he really loves drones
luke was raised on the ranch by obiwan, who has technically been squatting there since the 60s
padme had a will but anakin just had a piece of paper that said he thought obiwan should have his dogs and also his sword collection
luke refuses to mail anything so when he wants leia to have something he just drives to california and puts the package on her porch. he has a really poor concept of what leia needs, could use or would like so half the time she opens these 20 year old boxes signed “LUKE, YOUR BROTHER” in fading pen to discover, like, a broken tv and a note that says “can han use this for anything?”
