The Boys In White
Source: Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy, Pablo Hidalgo (emphasis in text mine)
I can’t describe how happy I am to find canon (?) evidence that there were, in fact, anti-war activists that weren’t only concerned about their taxpayer money being funneled into an endless war, but also about the very human, very young men being sent off to die in said war.
The separatist's view on the creation of these men as weapons is interesting, too, even if it is only meant to be used for the effects of propaganda and promoting of their own droid army.
Additionally, it is interesting to know that civilians were the ones to come up with “Boys in White”, a nickname that carries something of an endearing quality to it.
