Anyone else thing the medical droid in ROTS looked like utter crap and completely unrealistic. Why not a 2-1B? Or at least some customized version of a 2-1B that maybe had more functional hands so as not to drop Luke and Leia?
Another nit-pick, but God that droid really bugged the hell out of me.

Why couldn't it just be a real person delivering the babies? That makes sense, right? Why trust a droid with rickety arms to hold your newborn?
A real person??? So, no CGI at all?!?! Madness, sheer madness!

I agree! It would be such a waste of perfectly good rendering power!

Someone has to start a petition to put that droid OUT of the movie... but I won't be that person.
We could get George to render us a CGI protest droid.

No, the droid was not as bad ass as 2-1B, but would you want your child delivered by something that looked like that? I think that in terms of droids being designed for a particular job, that is probably what a maternity droid would look like, rather than something like EV-9D9.
However, the question again was, why couldn't a human deliver the baby? Good question.
