Another response video, this time to film youtuber @NandovMovies . Following the theme of my recent video, I'll be taking another look at Star Wars, particularly that one episode of The Mandalorian (Chapter 22: Guns for Hire, also known as the Jack Black & Lizzo episode). I explore the concept of sentience (contrasted with sapience), and speculate about the nature of droids.
