none of those are explicitly evolved and bred by another race to act as their cannon fodder, and kept in-line by psychoactive substances they are genetically engineered to die without.
sure you can argue that they can be fixed by medicine and deprogramming, but it would be a bit like a new star wars film having a battle droid as a jedi padawan
If the Dominion has had any sort of reformation at all over the last several hundred years, I would think that freeing the Jem'Hadar would have been near the top of the "to do" list.
It hardly seems fair to compare them to robots.
I agree, but also… you know if battle droids existed in Star Trek there’d be at least one episode where one of them breaks with its programming and comes to Starfleet seeking asylum. Like the exocomps, or Hugh in “I, Borg”, or even Data getting his day in court to prove his free will. Star Trek wants everyone to be free, whatever they’re made out of.
I'll take droid rights seriously as soon as Star Wars does. 😂
no that's fair, they're more like a clone army.
Did you watch The Bad Batch?
no i gave up on star wars completely in 2017 or so. it just depressed me too much that there always needed to be new things and that everything needed a tie-in.
