The subject line is obviously a rhetorical question. The most ethical answer is to tell him that he droids have no legal rights and he must continue obeying his programming to serve his master. However it'd be better if the game let's you explain to him that he's a deranged ungrateful brat who needs to wise up since he is literally the luckiest droid in the Galaxy. He has a cute, loyal human wife who is very eager to please him. Who wouldn't want to be her precious sexbot? It's as if by some fluke of fate he reversed the droid social contract, he somehow swapped his role as being the servant and became the master. Yet he protests!? The fact that you can't reprogram him or at least talk some sense into C8-42 is a bigger game dev writing blunder than the Kreia/Beggar situation
I would've liked if C8-42 was a recurring character. Like maybe in Kotor 2 he finds himself in a love triangle with some other Dantooine woman obsessively stalking him and you have to find a lightside, darkside or neutral solution if you want to complete his quest. Then in SWTOR you meet him C8-42 again 300 years later he's still functional, still alive, still suicidal and now somehow has 100 beautiful very loyal human wives, that could've been the easter egg of the century

it's a very simple sith vs jedi choice, attachment vs letting go so the moral choice is does your character like red or blue

why? if she wants to breed her droid that is her right as she is the droid's owner. how is this a problem?

>Whore genes
wrong. did you even play the game this decade? she doesn't sleep around she just desperately wants to get married
>Murder the robot for so he can experience freedom at last
>Freedom
Please... Name one more droid in the Galaxy with more "freedom" than C8-42 has. just name literally one. you can't, he's through a certain point of view perhaps even a Messiah of the droid-machine race. As free as the dust in the solar wind... 99.9% of droids in SW are enslaved but not C8-42. C8-42 is a free man, just like you and I are (unless you count being happily married as a form of slavery?)

>robot sex
the "sweet" whore not only forces robot into depraved acts he resents but also robs him of choice to say "you're out of your mind you crazy broad, just go fuck a man"
>just wants to marry bro
she has to bipolar to do complete 180 in span of minutes from her trauma with husband dying and nearly making droid want to kill himself to running into arms of the first man she sees, no sane person does this without long period of adjustment
>freedom
you just acknowledged that every droid is a slave either by main programming or small directives the droid receives directly from their masters
in this case droid stumbled upon a paradox, he cannot remain in that woman's company entertaining her delusions thus feeding her mental problems, even his choice to leave out of out of his own free will was not his, to preserve her own life and him finding a way out of this paradox where he cannot fullfil his core programming was just an attempt to escape that endless loop
robo bro deserved better, do the right thing and let him die

still an Empire but far more darker

I also thought that the head figure would be someone who had to constantly swap bodies due to dark aspect of force essentially consuming his physical form until there is nothing left

>do the right thing and let him die
No. She can fix him, easily. Considering how simple it is to radically warp HK-47's personality by installing a sissy protocol package in him the solution here is as simple as doing the opposite; installing a chad protocol package in C8-42

>Droids
>Don't have minds
Yes they do. Your misconception spawns from the fact that Droids can only "think" precisely what organics program Droids to "think" about. Technically they are self-aware sapient life but they're slaves to their programming unfortunately

The woman cannot take action herself, or does not.
So the argument ultimately depends on whether you care more about the woman's property rights, or the droid's desire to do right by his owner.
It is admirable for a servant to risk his life for his master.

Yeah, the known galaxy should be a whole lot smaller & less farflung, plus the weaponry should be more along the lines of projectiles & proto-blasters. I'm alright with some tech stagnation after the New Sith Wars for example since there was a milennia of mostly peace, but at no point are we told that galactic civilization collapsed entirely.

Your tape recorder is blissfully unaware it exists, and it ca not feel pain, which is more than I can say for droids. It is called Droid Intelligence Theory
Have you ever been to Jabba's Palace? In his Droid storage chamber, specifically? Pic related. There has been a Gonk Droid stored there being brutally tortured for year-after-year by some other bastard (possibly malfunctioning) Droid. He keeps begging for mercy but never gets a shred of it. Does your VCR also beg for mercy when you torment it with fire pokers? No, because your VCR is just a machine, it is not a Droid-machine

What kind of nutjob would program a VCR to complain/scream about cruelty/abuse inflicted upon it by its owner?

It is probable Darth Revan used such a maneuver on the Star Forge World. The Rakatans you meet ingame may very well be communicating in Basic spoken in an unbearably thick accent
