Droids are qualified to do a great many things.  Tasks like translation, etiquette, pastry preparation, and starcraft repair, are only part of the list.

However, I must draw a line at psychiatry.  The organic mind is too prone to oddities that make no sense to our processing units.  Like Master Thirteen’s insistence that the dish is not properly aligned, when it most certainly is.

I suspect this “MindMentor” to be some kind of Rebel plot, quite honestly.  Of course, your mind and credit account are your own responsibility.

I’ve had quite a few comments on the misuse of droids.  This, however, renders my circuits almost mute.  Especially given that it’s not even functional.

While this doesn’t seem as painful as being a peppermill, I am concerned that the liquid would be quite damaging to delicate circuitry if one were to attempt it with an actual, functioning astromech.  What will these beings think of next?  I hesitate to consider it.

At least, for once, there’s a choice other than the ever-present R2–D2.

Let me guess, not satisfied with that Rebel droid?  Fine, if you must:

Like his fussy protocol droid companion, I don’t understand the human fascination with rebel astromech R2–D2.  However, he is still a droid, and we all seem to see a fair number of misuses.  This is one:

Thank the Maker that Master Thirteen would never use me for something so beneath my abilities.  Of course, there is a well-engineered peppermill available in the kitchen should he desire fresh pepper on his roba steak.
