Am I being stupid ?

This may be a stupid link
but is R2D2 from star wars related to the dalek family in any way ?
Is he a pacifist dalek or maybe a prototype, or , given that Daleks have a living component, maybe R2D2 is a cyborg Dalek.

what do you think ?

The word is tautology

'Pacifist Dalek' is an oxymoron.

'Cyborg Dalek' is a tautology.

You must be too young to remember the Daleks, Fleety. They were complete and utter barstards, without a single redeeming feature.

On the other hand, a "pacifist Thal" could be a tautology.

I do remember the Daleks, but I got "tautology" and "oxymoron" mixed up again.
