- ""Agonized Exclamation: Ah, my photoreceptors! My photoreceptors!""
- ―An HK-50 series assassin droid, tortured by HK-47
Photoreceptors, sometimes known as optical sensors, optic visors, visual sensors, lenses, or simply optics, were the visual "organs" of most droids, also used by many cyborgs.
They were often sensitive to a wider visual spectrum than a typical humanoid eye. Droids could have many photoreceptors on their bodies, sometimes highly specialized.
Some droids seemed unable to see with only one photoreceptor activated; this happened to Anakin Skywalker's protocol droid, C-3PO.[2]
Zam Wesell's ASN-121 assassin droid featured an infrared photoreceptor.[3]
Design
The photoreceptors of droids were often made to resemble the eyes of species with which the droids would interact. The LOM-series protocol droid's photoreceptors were made to look familiar to insectoid species such as the Brizzits, Verpines, Gand, Yam'rii and Xi'Dec,[4] while the CZ-series communications/business droid had optical sensors resembling the eyes of the Stacchati.[5]
