Because Droid is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm Incorporated, a division of Walt Disney Corporation. You're going to see some droids in 2.0 because we're using them in place of some of the places where we're going to have deeper systems later, for the repair. You just fly up and droids goop up your ship, which you saw in the demo at CitizenCon. There is some lore about why we don't have extensive AIs and so forth that we specifically put in there to avoid having Mr. Data, that sort of android. But there's also repair droids that are going to be our equivalent of, our legally distinct counterpart of R2-D2. So definitely robots, droids, robot critters.
