Would any sitcom character be allowed to exist? In realistic settings, hijinks, no matter how hilarious, are bad business. :)

Dude, STAR WARS is not real. And even in the TS universe, it's still not real.

I was responding to the notion of C3PO as an L.A.I. or even N.A.I.

But none of this is real.
It's all just a fantasy.
So my arguments are easy come, easy.
