10 Most Confusing Scenes In Star Wars History

It's pretty tough to feel even a little bit of sympathy for the waves of generic battle droids routinely found being slaughtered by the Jedi and clones throughout the devastating Clone Wars.

After all, on top of being rather insufferable, it's not as though the annoying collection of circuits suffer any feeling of real pain upon being blasted to smithereens.

Or do they?

Admittedly, the likes of said battle droids and C-3PO routinely letting loose cries of fear does suggest that many of these bots across the galaxy had been programmed to replicate living beings' emotions; maybe as a way to put those organic creatures around them at ease?

But even if that is the case, that doesn't necessarily mean the bots would have any concept of actual pain - what would be the use in that?

And that's what makes a sequence during Return of the Jedi's opening moments so strange to behold, with Jabba's Palace containing a droid torture chamber that sees a Gonk bot getting its feet horrifically scorched to the sound of screams.

So, this was excruciating for that droid, but an arm-and-leg-less Threepio was absolutely fine in the immediate aftermath of being blown to bits by Stormtroopers one film earlier?

Something doesn't quite add up here.
