"Did I mention it's less reliable than whether they can hold a conversation, for things that talk to you? Like, if they're not talking, I'll trust the Force, but if they are I just trust that." 

"Didn't you just say you have machines that walk and talk?"

"Yeah, and some of them are people, but Jedi senses can't see them at all because they're not made out of flesh and blood and stuff. So for those you have to talk to them to figure it out." 

"How do you know they're people?"

"Cause they...tell us so? And people who know more about droids than I do can look at their code and tell that way." 

"Couldn't they just tell you they were people because you made them do that? Like, an illusion mage could make a statue say 'I'm a person' whenever anyone asked it the right question..."

"I think that's what the looking-at-the-code is for? I'm not an expert. Anyway, it doesn't matter that much because mostly people just treat all droids like they're machines and not people." 

"Oh, I thought you said you didn't have slaves."

"...that's...it's different." 

"Different how?"

"I don't know, it—it just is! I told you I'm not an expert!" 

"Know any books I could get that would explain it?"

"Maybe? But most of them probably assume you know anything about computers." 

"Well, then I guess I'll have to wait and find out later."

"I guess. Is it gonna bother you now?" 

"Yeah, but it's probably not the most important thing for me to find out."
