The same as the advantages of making organics feel pain i.e. to make the being aware of danger and incentivize them to get out of it.
This. Pain is probably one of the most useful components a lifeform can have because it indicates when you're in danger. There's a reason people born without the ability to feel pain have a sky-high mortality rate.
its time now for the age old question. do droids actually have free will and sentience or are they literally slaves. is the life of a protocol droid equal to the life of a mouse droid on a star destroyer? is the mouse droid even sentient?
Depends on the droid in question. 3PO muses on about the nature of droids, free will, and mortality in the old expanded universe, from what I remember.
Man I WISH Dark Troopers were this cool in Dark Forces.
Anyway in the case of SW canon, droids start gaining genuine sentience the longer they go without a memory wipe.
iirc, if a droid doesn't get it's memory wiped regularly, it will develop a sort of sentience over time. That's why wiping their memories is a common threat to droids, since that's essentially deleting who they've become to an extent.
it's fun
Identification of damaged components
What said and also humans like to anthropomorphise.

Darkman gets into the pros and cons of not feeling physical pain
Man Darkman was pretty cool wasn't it
I’ve never seen this argument before but this is absolutely plausible and makes complete logical sense
>I sense injuries. The data could be called pain.
Did they change C-3PO’s face during production? I know they shot the desert stuff first and this looks off.

To lower them to our level.
>star wars
Wrong board
Star Wars has always been /m/.

because /m/ods (occasionally) have good taste
Watch your mouth meatbag, droids feel pain as well

so that they can learn the nature of life, and use that to create the SINGULARITY ENGINE
