The other answers rely too much on physics and hard science, which is definitely not something the SW universe is known for. Thus, I think this answer is the best explanation so far and one that I can see as part of SW canon. It just feels right, and would fit in perfectly with some kind of SW origins story where they explore the very early history of the SW universe. | |

I see your point though-- maybe it would make more sense that the droids were originally sold in silent "release" mode, but with sentience the droids gained the ability to put themselves into debug mode in order to be heard. And some kind of droid rights laws prevented people from turning that off again... | |
| Jan 14, 2016 at 3:04 | comment | added | thegreatjedi | A decent hypothesis, though it's likely still far from being the indisputed conclusion. I take issue with the adoption and initial uptake though - Organics on Earth have demonstrated a tendency for greater intuitiveness, simplicity and reduced learning curves over functional usefulness. In fact, we have demonstrated intense hatred of living with bleeping machines who do nothing but beep all day for days on end...How does that transition into galactic common usage? | |
