Droid Shows (Stellar Amalgam)

Droid Show is a genre of media in the galaxy featuring an auto-mechanical cast. Droid shows range from those that use old droid models in a kind of puppetry utilizing instruction from a control computer to those that work with droid actors. Droid Shows as a medium are popular primarily with youth audiences. Though the genre has it's roots in a more mature audience as it was able to take advantage of the non-organic nature of the cast in order to explore a level of violence that would be disturbing in a live action show with an organic cast. Droid Shows have a tendency to parody live action works and more often then not fall into the realm of comedy.
== Examples of Droid Shows ==
* Shipments - Shipments was produced by a small studio as an experiment in what a droid written and directed show would be like. Commissioning a local droidsmith to combine parts from a secretarial droid, archivist droid, inspection droid, and supervisory droid to create a Droid Writer the studio waited to see what would be written by the construct. Shipments is a 42 episode series following the crew of an automated freighter involved in the packet trade. The cast consists an inventory droid, pilot droid, three maintenance droids, and two load lifters over seen by a supervisor droid who utilizes the old crew lounge as their work space. The show is considered a slice of droid life and it's humor, when presented, comes off as accidental rather than intentional according to a number of positive reviews. Negative reviews see it as an uninteresting experience and marvel at how it lasted for 42 episodes.
