Star Wars has always had an underground current of strange racism, which varied from Luke Skywalker by calling Tusken Raiders “Sand People” (it sounds like an insult to us, Farmboy!) To George Lucas turning the aliens in the prequels. However, the strangest racism comes to us courtesy of A new hopewhere the waiter mos Eisley Cantina exputes C-3po and R2D2 and clarifies that it does not “use his son” in his establishment. It is disconcerting because Bartender (Wuher) is the only enemy of the droid in the original trilogy of Star Wars, but it turns out that he was only so hateful because his parents were killed by battle droids.

Why Wuher hated droids is something that Star Wars fans have legskelves for decades, for several reasons … like, why would the waiter do everything possible to clarify that it does not work units that can no longer drink any? Hey was never Going to serve them, and in a world where influential people with droid travel, their policy would be really significant discharge Money losing the richest customers. However, the short story “we do not serve your son here” in the book From a certain view Reviva that Wuher’s parents were killed by the duration of battle droids The clone wars.

As for the retaques, this is one of the most elegant we have had in a galaxy very, far away. In 1977, it simply made no sense that Wuher was the only racist droid in the entire Star Wars universe. Learn that Battle Droids killed the parents of this cantinero gives the character grumpy a little to the construction of the gloomy reality of the prequels: that half of the galaxy was shattered by an army of robots that Gibbering, and that would leave more than A.

Whether or not, the sad background of Wuher, maybe we wonder why we are calling the drug antipathy of this character … after all, “Droid” is not exactly a race in this fictional universe. However, the cantinero’s feelings are very similar to racism because they do not hold specific people for what happened to their parents, but blame each droid he sees for his murder. For example, he does not reserve his anger for battle droids in particular or his designers of the Federation of shops in general, coming to act as C-3PO and R2-D2 are as dangerous as the bots that killed his mother and his father.

At least, we enjoy this revelation about Wuher, it is one of our most important questions about Star Wars: namely, how the average people over droids ended after the war between the ancient Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems. We know that innumerable galactic residents learned to hate and fear the Jedi after order 66 thanks to the effective propaganda of Emperor Palpatine. It is logical that many imperial citizens would hate in a similar way to droids after the war, and Wuher’s anger towards these clankers how broad this racism was extended to robbery really was really.

Thanks to its memorable line delivery or “we do not serve your son here,” Wuher quickly became a fans’ favorite Star Wars character. However, those same fans had to spend decades Wondering why this guy had a death grudge of the size of a star towards the droids. Thanks to the short story “we do not serve your son here”, now we have the answer to that question, as well as some. Reaxly Strong background history for the most traumatized type in the galaxy on this side of the Rancor Wrangler of Jabba.
