R5-D4 , know to his friend's as Skippy, was a force sensitive astromech droid on Tatooine in the year 0 BBY.

Upon receiving a premonition of what would happen if Luke Skywalker and his uncle purchased him instead of R2-D2 he nobly chose to destroy his own motivator.

Let his sacrifice never be forgotten.

    Actual exchange I just had on :reddit-logo: :

    Them: Don't protest, just vote

    Me: I've voted in every election and things are getting worse

    Them: You're a liar, you clearly don't vote

    Sorry guys, I should have :vote: ed harder. It's my fault we're in this mess :sadness:

        There's no point to strikes , protests or whatever if you don't vote since if people who disagree with you are in charge they simply won't do anything

        Who would win: Grinding the economy to a halt, or checking a box every 4 years? :thinking-about-it:

          also love the implication that when people who agree with you are in charge, you still have to protest to get them to do anything.
