Em Return of the Jedi , há um droide da lata de lixo com os pés marcados no palácio de Jabba. Parece que está gritando com medo da dor, e faz mais ruídos doloridos quando os ferros quentes tocam seus pés.
O dróide estava sentindo dor 1 ?
1. " Pain é uma experiência sensorial e emocional desagradável associada à experiência real ou dano potencial ao tecido, ou descrito em termos de tais danos ". Ou seja, a dor não é meramente uma gravação ou um reconhecimento da entrada sensorial, mas deve ser processada como desagradável. Outras definições de dor podem existir, mas estão fora do escopo desta questão.
C-3PO oferece boas respostas canônicas - ele pode sentir prazer e dor
Prazer
Uma nova esperança: C-3PO diz "agradeça ao criador, este banho de óleo vai se sentir tão bem"
Dor
O Império Contra-Ataca: C-3PO exclama "Ai! Oh! Ah! Que dói, abaixe-se, você não pensa ... Ai!" quando Chewie bate a cabeça do 3PO no Falcon enquanto está sendo carregada nas costas de Chewie.

A cena correspondente da novela do filme deixa bem claro que o droid em questão estava em dor como resultado de seus " circuitos sensores " derretendo:
An agonized electronic scream, like the sound of stripping gears, drew their attention to the corner of the room. From out of the mist walked EV-9D9, a thin humanlike robot with some disturbingly human appetites. In the dimness behind Ninedenine, Threepio could see the legs being pulled off a droid on a torture rack, while a second droid, hanging upside down, was having red-hot irons applied to its feet; it had emitted the electronic scream Threepio heard a few moments earlier, as the sensor circuits in its metal skin melted in agony. Threepio cringed at the sound, his own wiring sympathetically crackling with static electricity.
Você também pode observar que, de acordo com o script do filme , esse dróide "lixo" é na verdade um "droid de poder", uma espécie de bateria móvel:
A second power droid is upside down. As smoking branding irons are pressed into his feet, the stubby robot lets out an agonized electronic scream. Artoo and Threepio cringe as the guard grunts to EV- 9D9.
Quanto à questão mais ampla de "dróides sentirem dor no universo de Star Wars, sabemos que C-3PO certamente faz isso.
Moments later Threepio grabbed at his head in pain as a terrific screeching and yelling sounded over the comlink.
More stormtroopers had come into the room and joined the fight. Some of the troopers began to club the Wookiee with the butts of their rifles, banging against Threepio in the process.
“Ouch!” the droid screamed. “I didn’t do anything!”
The stormtroopers had begun to overpower Chewbacca, and were about to smash him in the face with their weapons when, over the sounds of the fray, Han shouted, “Chewie, no! Stop it, Chewbacca!”
Sim, alguns dróides poderiam. Havia um hardware especial chamado "Botão do simulador de dor" para conseguir isso.
Essa cena específica do ROTJ à qual você se vinculou foi expandida no livro EU / Legends " Contos do Palácio de Jabba " novelette " Um Sentimento Mau: O Conto de EV-9D9 "Judith e Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
Ignoring for the moment the Gamorrean guard and the new prisoners {{of course, those prisoners were R2-D2 and C-3PO - DVK's note}}, Ninedenine racked up the gain on her internal receptors, savoring the intensity of it all. She concentrated her meta-analytical functions on the high-frequency carrier wave generated by the pain-simulator button newly connected to the GNK’s central circuits. That signal was … delicious.
Simply put, and Ninedenine did cherish simplicity, she knew that what she did was an act of creation—an art form. Though trying to explain to an organic that a droid such as she could appreciate art was like trying to explain that a droid could feel pain.
Droids could feel pain, of course. One of the two new prisoners coming her way was proof of that—a golden protocol droid from the looks of it, buffed to a courtly gleam, completely out of place in this warren of dank tunnels, decaying power conduits, and scurrying, fur-covered, organic scavengers.
O texto explica ainda por que ela estava certa de que o C-3PO poderia sentir dor:
“Disintegrated …?” the golden droid repeated, trying to make sense of what was going on. Ninedenine wondered if it too had picked up the pain transmission from the dismembered droid, and was experiencing the first touch of disturbance. Pain-simulator buttons were supposedly restricted technology, typically installed only in those droids who had to interact with organics at the most personal level. Strike a protocol droid on the head, for instance, and it would respond that the blow had hurt. Such empathy toward potentially damaging physical sensation was supposed to give them deeper understanding of organics. But as far as Ninedenine was concerned, it just made protocol droids better subjects for her experiments.
