- He flew through that droid factory in AOTC during a battle without a scratch.
- He gets into every single room and controls every computer he wants to.
- He slid around in that crashing ship at the beginning of ROTS without a scratch.
- He hibernated when Luke cut himself off from the Force.
- He got that monster on Dagobah to spit him out.
- Stuff from the Clone Wars that I've forgotten.
Since R2D2, Force-sensitive droid, has been part of my head cannon for a long time, and midochlorians have never gotten into my head cannon, I've had to chew on this.

We have microscopic organisms that we use to control oil spills, so oil does not mean an absence of life. And Star Wars has space whales, which seem to thrive in a much more inhospitable environment then droid oil. Therefore, I don't think it's inconceivable that a droid could have midochlorians in their body.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

For the fun of addressing ep's question of whether I am cannon ... that is my souvenir from Batuu, which is absolutely cannon, so yes, R2D2 has oil.

Oooh interesting. This whole time I have been seriously wondering if there is any evidence at all that droids use oil in SW. Because I don't remember seeing it out reading about it one way or another.

Also, midichlorians are themselves organisms that live within a host. They're a symbiot. They themselves have no barring on whether or not someone is Force sensitive.

It’s going to be one hell of a funeral for Maarva.


B2EMO - MVP of the episode.

I wonder if a chip of B2EMO somehow gets placed into K2SO.

I really don’t want this series to end

Are we sure Maarva is dead? I never trust a TV death unless I see it.

He's gotta get that blaster off of Skeen's dead body somehow.

Decent penultimate episode. Hard to live up to the last few but that was pretty solid.

The stuff with B2 destroyed me.

When’s the last episode so I can buy Disney+ for one month and binge it and never think of it again.

I haaaaate even thinking about Bs point in any serious sense.

But R2 has used oil a number of times to get outta scrapes. Most notable in ROTS in the landing bay to kill the two battle droids

Cassian to Brasso: Tell my mother she would be proud of me.

Then Brasso tells Cassian that Marva is dead.

Totally heartbreaking stuff. And then I was reminded that Cassian tells Jyn: "Your father would have been proud of you."

Cassian tells Jyn the very thing he wanted to/needed to hear himself.

And I burst into a puddle all over again.

Fuck, this show is great.
