Lots of OR hereEdit

This article makes lots of leaps of logic that aren't necessarily supported by the source material. How do we know that Amorphian Beings are "mainly salesmen" and that their technology is "cheap"? And does the SWHS ever say they actually come form a planet called "Amorphia"? We've only met one member of this species, and we can't necessarily paint the entire race to match him. — SavageBob 19:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

• If you watch the sketch on the SWHS it does say the following:

OK from this above line we can conclude there is an "Amorphian System" and it is not a very big leap of logic to assume Amorphians come from Amorphia. -- Frank V Bonura 11:20, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Shut down? Edit

I don't understand. Are they droids?--Lord Oblivion^{Sith holocron} 18:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Both the special AND the article hints so. I will update it MoffRebus 08:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Purely Biological, Not Androids Edit

This is just a near-Human race that has an extreme case of exhaustian, right? 24.17.73.18 09:27, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

• Well lets look at the evidence.

From the above quote we know the Amorphians are "beings" but this does not indicate mechanical, biological or something in-between. The Woman Announcer also mentions "unique chance" strongly suggesting the recording is not only very rare but that this race of beings are very few or very well hidden on some subterfuge on the planet Amorphia.

In the above quote we see terms like "malfunctions", "temporary loss of power", and "standards of long wear and durability". All these terms are more likely associated with machines than biological subjects. As the sketch begins we observe the following:

Harvey Korman the Amorphian experiences a malfunction, his mouth seizes up, and he uses a screwdriver-like tool to repair himself. This would be consistent with a droid and not a biological.

The Amorphian looses control of its tongue as it goes into seizure-like spasms and Harvey Korman gently rubs his forehead to relieve this malady. This suggests a more biological solution to the malfunction than a mechanical one.

The Amorphian slows down and speeds back up to normal operating speed several times during the sketch, suggesting a mechanical nature and not a biological one.

At the end of the sketch, Harvey Korman the Amorphian experiences a sort of narcoleptic episode that appears to be a combination of biological exhaustion and catastrophic power loss.

In conclusion because of the observable body of evidence, I strongly suspect the Amorphians are a race of cyborgs containing aspects of both droids and biologicals. It is also not a very far stretch of logic to assume the race is very old and somehow has lost the means, infrastructure, and technology to properly service and maintain themselves. If this line of reasoning is so, then this race also may no longer be able to reproduce and Harvey Korman's character may represent a dwindling remnant of a far larger older population of Amorphians. -- Frank V Bonura 12:01, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
