I en av de sista scenerna av Star Wars: The Force Awakens hörs C-3PO att utropa "Tack Maker!" Min fråga är, vem är skaparen? Är det här med hänvisning till någon religiös figur eller gudom, kanske en han hört om Tatooine? Eller hänvisar han till Anakin Skywalker, hans egen "maker"? En eventuell förtydligande här skulle mycket uppskattas.
Enligt Wookieepedia är "The Maker" i grunden en djupgående enhet till droider; djärv betoning är min:
The Maker, also known The One Who Creates, was a being often referred to in deity-like terms by droids. Droids claimed that the Maker was the being that created the first droid. He changed them from simple machines into intelligent creations. Another belief was that The Maker was actually the first droid.
It seemed curious that new droids would possess knowledge of the Maker, which led to two conclusions: new droids were told by old droids, creating a chain, or droid manufacturers included knowledge of the Maker in droid programming to make them easier to control.
Således var begreppet "The Maker" inte bara begränsat till droider som förklaras vidare på Wookieepedia :
The Maker was also central to the religion of the Sunesi people, who also called him the Giver. They viewed him as the giver of life and a master being "with a fine and glorious creativity and affection," often adding a sense of humor to his qualities.
Mon Mothma believed in a Maker as well.
