    Goddamn I have no idea if you’re making some kind of reference to cult of personality or if I’m just way out of my depth here.

    I’m going back to the star trek instances now, where my life makes sense. Enjoy your walking batteries. Enjoy your walking batteries.

      The Cult of the Power Droids was a religious sect solicited by rogue GNK power droids.

      It’s not full canon, only legends. It is from a reference book written by Ben Burtt in 2001. But the first half is written as an in-universe book, so I consider it partly canon. (For reference, he is one of greatest sound designers of all time. He made the lightsaber sounds, Darth Vader’s breathing, etc. In addition he also worked on Indiana Jones, made the “voice” for E.T., WALL-E, R2-D2, etc. He’s the guy who popularized the Wilhelm scream easter egg)
