Hi!
Apologies if this has been asked, answered, and/or already established. I could not find it and I swear I looked around - for a bit.
So my question is regarding character creation rules. Namely, regarding non-canon droid model characters needing to be approved through the factory.
The character concept I'm drafting, from my point of view, does not require approval of any kind. But I figure it would do no harm to ask first.
1) Droid brains are canon.
2) Swapping droid brains is canon - the Millennium Falcon alone has 3, all previously belonging to different droids.
3) From 1 and 2 I assume that indefinitely swapping a droid brain between several droid models could also be considered canon.
-- So here's my concept: A character that is not a 'full' droid, but rather a droid brain that gets swapped between multiple droid frames that are available to it. And, assuming that all those frame models are canon, then I don't need any particular approval to run this character, correct?
Additional information:
Although, if I enjoy RPing the character I'll probably consider submitting a hot-swap mechanism for easily and quickly move the brain between frames, in the future - which, as far as I'm aware, is not canon.

Additional information:
- All possible droid frames available to the character will be detailed on the character bio.
- The idea is to collect "bodies" through RP and not just add them to the bio, RPing dysphoria alongside character development.
- Moving the brain to a different body is a cold-swap. Meaning, the droid is shut down during the somewhat lengthy process, which has to be performed by a specialist - droidsmith or equivalent - this is NOT a 'Transformer'-type droid.
