    For example when he is on Dagobah and he senses his friends in pain in Bespin, do you think this includes Threepio?

    Doesn't Luke call out "Han...Leia" right before he falls over. Doesn't sould like it includes Threepio. But i guess it could. Maybe. Who knows?

    I guess so since droids feel pain.

    Well, how can droids feel pain?

    "Help, I think I'm melting....!"
    "Oh...turn 'round you wooly...!"
    "...Watch what you're doing...!"

    The walking trash-compactor-bin getting his feet fried in ROTJ, and the several times R2 has gotten zapped. Physical pain, dunno, but they are obviously emotive and expressive characters who react to threatening situations accordingly, so pain could be somewhat analgous. Can a Jedi sense this? "Hear me, Threepio...." Dunno. Can mind tricks work on droids?

    Is it possible for a force user to detect the [artificial] pain of something that isn't actually living?

    Well, since they are technically brothers, from a certain point of view, perhaps it is possible.

    I don't know how much Luke would be able to sense Threepio at all. Going off how the Force can help him fly, I would say he must have some sense of machanical things through it, but I'm not sure how much depth it could have, since machines aren't "alive" in the strict sense of the word.

    I'd say no though. Just because he's never shown reacting to damage to machinery (like Artoo being taken out a few feet away from him in ANH)

    I don't think Jedi can sense a droid's pain, as the Force is created through life and as much as droids seem alive, they arn't. :( I suppose that it may be possible for a Jedi to sense the pain of a droid, but that may require years of training to reach that mastery, though its probably unlikely.

    Since they are not living beeing, I don't think Jedi can sense droids.

    Jedi can sense droids. Qui Gon was looking right at TC-14 at the beginning of TPM when he stated he felt an unusual amount of fear. If they can sense fear, i'm pretty sure they could sense other emotions.
