    The gonk droids were sentient because they had built in non-destructive examination sensors in the face and were notorious for getting cranky if the outlets they had to plug into were dirty or even slightly broken. It was so bad some gonks would actually lock their legs down and shut off near said outlet until it was repaired

      Sentience is a good way to give something a sense of self-preservation. If gonk droids were as important as stated in the video, then it makes sense that they were created sentient.

      On a side note, they had a pair of legs for movement because they were to heavy for the average human to move. They had "sentience" or intelligence so that they could operate their legs. Why legs instead of tracks or wheels? Probably so they could maneuver over uneven terrain while not needing breaks or similar stopping features. Leg activation probably required less power consumption than wheels and breaks and tracks.

      @@superdave8248 i love the fact someone rigged more arms and blasters to the gonk. A walking turret. All u need is a higher function AI that of r2 astro, or what class c3p0 is. I think 4or5. Rewrite some functions like cant kill organics, or rewrite organics are breach holes and needs to be fixed. Instead of an ark welder, blaster.

    In a tabletop game of Star Wars, set a few months after the battle of Endor, our group rigged up a few Power Droids, placed near a few power generators in a city, to blow up in order to assassinate a politician. We ended up taking a significant percentage of the city.

    Just saying I literally pray to GNK, not even lying. He is the god above gods, the droid that created the very fiber of our beings today. So Support the GNK and the the cult of the power droids.

    1:39 I'd argue the point of making the walking nuclear reactor sentient is so it has self preservation and can hide in bad situations so it doesn't get breached and go critical all over 3 square miles of tattooine desert, or worse, the same area over two or more levels of Coruscant

    I hadn’t thought of this before now, as I assumed the PLONK droids simply mobile pressurized tybana tanks, and they were seen around hangers to refill the tybana reserves on ships in the hanger, but if they are actually tybana powered generators, than what exactly is fused in the GONK droid’s fusion generators?

      Gaseous tibanna formed naturally in the atmosphere of Bespin, where Cloud City was set up to extract the gas, refine/liquify it, and export it to other places throughout the galacy.

    If a Gonk droid can recharge blaster power packs then having them able to know where to go during a battle where blaster power packs most needed to be charged and be able to get there on their own would necessitate some computing power so they did not have to have a person herd them.

    I always thought of droids as the following: factory new droids are NOT "self-aware". However, they have such sophisticated software and hardware by our human, Terran standards that if you leave them alone for long enough, and with no memory wipes, they can become self-aware.
