    I imagine it’s like someone building a computer today. You plug in all the relevant components together but it doesn’t require too much expertise.

      I like this analogy in particular because it also explains how Vader might not have connected the dots that this was the same protocol and astrometric droids from his childhood.

      When I was a kid I had an old apple IIe computer. An IT guy I knew gave me some parts for it that his company was discarding and I added them to my computer.

      But if I were to see another apple II computer today, I would never assume that it was my exact computer from my childhood.

      I think it would be harder because not only are droids more complex, but he had to source all his parts from a junkyard.

        Maybe the galaxy has an excellent standards committee so all these components are compatible. Like if you just connect red wires to red wires everything just works? So he just went around the junkyard looking for compatible wires and stuff?
