De acordo com a Wookieepedia , “The Maker” é basicamente uma entidade semelhante à droids; ênfase ousada é minha:
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.
Dito isso, o conceito de "O Criador" não se limitou apenas aos droids, como explicado em mais detalhes na 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.
