Honestly, it would be so terrifying and so cool seeing the Colicoids in the Clone Wars. Seeing them scuttle around and the reactions of the Clones realizing that these were the ones responsible for the Droidekas and Crab Droids. These guys are terrifying, but so awesome!

@@lerneanlionYes sure, droids can behave human like, but its never the same as a biological behavior. They can only replicate behaviors which already existed, so biological beings did Programm it into them. They will never be in the same ethic Level as living beings since they dont live. They only "run" as a program. Clones are already born as human, so why should they even have the need to get humanized?

@teleportedbreadfor3days Год назад

I wonder why Colicoids hated the Jedi. The only thing I have to go by is the fact that Jedi didn’t recruit hive mind species. I also wonder what their relationship with the Republic was after they saved them from Imperial occupation.

@legoferrari14 Год назад

My guess would be that the Thousand Years of Peace meant that the Colicoids lost a considerable chunk of their trade from the decreased need and/or outlawing of combat-oriented droid production. In the real world, military production and R&D contracts are lucrative business, so I suspect that also holds true in Star Wars; even as early as the Old Republic era.

@UnswimmingFishYT Год назад

A Neimoidian seems like a much safer option. You could always trust their greed and generally get an idea as to how to work with one effectively. Working with a hivemind species in any kind of business just seems very risky unless it's limited to very simple terms, like the trading of meat for droidekas.

@tavernburner3066 Год назад

I would like to remind all of you the people who made the vulture droids had a religion that pushed them towards creating a perfect droid. Yet the culicoid surpassed them them for a box of meat.

@manwiththeredface7821 Год назад

From what I could see the AT-AT walker of the Empire was a successor of the AT-TE that the CIS had. The Empire pretty much took the best stuff from both armies of the clone wars (like the Venator-class destroyer from the Republic) and developed it further. The Death Star itself was a CIS idea. The rebels were left pretty much with scrap (and ships from Mon Calamari).

If you have to make a deal with one, go with the Nemodians. Sure, both will probably try to double-cross you but at least you have a better chance of surviving a double-cross from the Nemodians than you do the Colicoids. Also, I didn't know these bugs made the Scorpion Droid shown in the Book of Boba Fett finale. Even after the end of the Galactic Civil War there still in business, good for them, but bad for a lot of other people.

@BrazenBull001 Год назад

It looks like the droid was designed first and the species was designed afterwards to fit

@christianscrogins663 Год назад

Because they were. Droidekas debuted in 1999 in Episode 1, The Phantom Menace, and I remember reading about colicoids in the associated visual dictionary that I had. On the droideka page they mentioned they were created by an insectoid race called colicoids and that they were relatively unknown to most of the galaxy, but those that did know of them absolutely loathed them. There were no pictures of colicoids to be found of course, so it was pretty apparent that the droidekas were created first for the movie, and the colicoids were just a cool-sounding name given to a species that designed them as background lore.

@UGNAvalon Год назад

First the B1s were Terminator versions of Nemoidian husks. Now the Droidekas are Terminator versions of equally deadly Colocoids. Later on, the New Republic would make Vong-Hunter Terminators based on humanoid skeletons. What is it with Star Wars species constantly making Terminators of themselves?!??

@lerneanlion Год назад

After what happened to the Geonosians in canon, do you think the Colicoids are willing to help or form relations with the Geonosian refugees who came to their world? If there are some who came with the belief of "fellow bugs should stick together", of course.

With some compromise, I was able to garner enough trust to be able to have him attend board meetings, although most other members are understandably hesitant to show up.

Can you do a video commenting your opnion about how Dave Filoni developed the Jedi in clone wars as an institution that made big mistakes and if that deviated from what George Lucas developed the jedi to symbolically represent in history? Do you think this "subversion" ended up working and giving the story the depth it needed? Do you think that George Lucas already raised this question, but didn't develop it in the story of the Prequels because that wasn't the focus of the plot?

@TJDious Год назад

I don't think it's a subversion, more a closer look at what contributed to their fall. Remember that the Jedi were manipulated into an impossible situation by 1000 years of the Sith Grand Plan under the Rule of Two. They were still a noble order in their last days, but they made the mistake of believing that they served the people of the Republic by serving its government. Unfortunately only Dooku and Qui-Gon seem to have truly grasped this, but Qui-Gon was slain before he could affect change in the Order and Dooku fell to the dark.
