Droids have a sex? They are robots. How can they be male or female.

The first big time robot of screen was the fembot from “Metropolis”.

It’s a machine; why mess it up with a sex? It’s okay to give it a female voice, I don’t care, but I don’t see the point in acting like this is groundbreaking.

Is the droid going to be named Dot Matrix?

Seriously, they want Starwars to depict an eletro-mechanical female slave?

You can probably set the voice to be female or male depending on your prefs - like your GPS.

Correct; all the way from 1987. She even came with a “virgin alarm”, which is “programmed to go off before you do!”
