[Star Wars Prequels] How does slavery make any sense, given intelligent humanoid 'droids capable of working nearly continuously in baking desert conditions without a need for food, clothing, sleep, or housing, and are so cheap and plentiful that an eight-year-old made one from junkyard scrap?

It’s about status. On Tatooine, owning a slave implies a certain level of prosperity, and to bet one is one of the highest non-monetary bets you can make. It really isn’t a matter of practicality at this point. It’s all about power, or the illusion of it at least. Also, slaves are versatile. Getting a droid capable of multiple useful roles is surprisingly difficult, owing to programming and construction. An organic can adapt with little trouble.

It’s still horrible, though, and altogether inefficient.
