Star Wars still edges up to 'dark' transhumanism though. At least the original trilogy did...
Vader was more machine than man, twisted and evil.
Luke had several moments where he questioned himself and his bionic hand (his 'growing' similarity to Vader's machine-ness) leading to him realize he was turning away from the 'right path', away from humanity and into the dark.
Droids are inherently a lesser being than any meat sophont, despite their personality, humanity, or sapience/sentience.
