Well in the EU, the mini-series sequel to Legacy shows an assassin droid that has become completely independent and surprisingly well mannered, instead of being a sarcastic jerk like HK from SWTOR.
I would love to see a droid uprising. We all know how poorly droids in general are treated in the Star Wars galaxy. Even before the Clone Wars there seemed to be a lot of prejudice towards droids even by supposed good guys like Obi Wan. But the Clone Wars scarred countless trillions of sapients across the galaxy and only strengthened their robopbobic rhetoric. Think about the many billions of people who lost their families to a battle droid. They may seem incompetent and silly to us the audience, but that’s only because we see them from the perspective of trained soldiers and space wizards. To the average Joe a battle droid would be a formidable opponent. It’s no wonder that Mos Eisley Cantina outright refuses service to droids. Maybe L3-37 was right all along.
As for the grenades, I believe, they were heavily underutilized by droids. Theoretically, with proper servos, they would be able to throw them at hundreds of meters, add a ballistic calculator and grenades would be flying into windows, trenches, around corners, into vehicles' weak spots and more. Also, shields are expensive and armor is cheap: imagine, instead of expensive droidekas, CIS could have even more armored B2s, carrying E-web blasters, with energy packs integrated into their backs. In general, the possibility of droids to have greater physical strength was rarely exploited: without power armor it is impossible to armor a human as well as a droid of similar size (with good servos). Same goes for the weapon: droids can carry much more. How about combining 3 E-5s together with the barrels in a triangular pattern, large common heatsink, battery and gas cartridge. Advantages: high rate of fire (when shooting sequentially) or really hard to deflect (by a lightsaber) pattern. Cons: too heavy to be used by average organic and older droid models.
I think even the design of most droids is fairly cliche and almost meant to be bad. Bipedal robots on our world are very rare and are unwieldy, unreliable, and unstable. There’s a reason why most drones are tracked or have four legs and it’s the exact same reason why tanks have treads and why mechs are impractical. Along with this, droids have intentionally bad personalities. Your average battle droid is incompetent, arrogant, and just plain stupid. Why would you ever want to program such personality characteristics into your soldiers? If you were being realistic you’d want to program personality characteristics you’d want in a soldier like resilience and unwavering loyalty.
@@therealspeedwagon1451 well, it depends, bipedal is not necessarily that bad, but you can do much better than humanoid. How about such design: 2-2.5m high droid with long bird like legs and small, heavily armored 0.5*0.5 meter box-body (basically a smaller autonomous version of AT-RT). No articulation in the body (besides rotation of the upper part). Two long arms with heavy auto blasters (from droidekas) built in and ability to throw grenades really far. With small, heavily armored body it would be extremely hard to kill, and with those long, complex legs it would be able to make 70+ km/h. Add a weapon stabilisation algorithms and it gonna be able to shoot on the move at 70km/h while being impervious to most hand-held weapons and to fast to be hit by the heavy ones.
@@therealspeedwagon1451 The personality was a side effect of the droids not being connected to a central computer. And yeah, all of those arguments may truth for robots on Earth so far. Bat Star Wars tech is far more advanced than what we have.
In our RP-Server a user attacked a CIS world with an imperial fleet and got completely obliterated in the process. He underestimated the CIS, which had exploited it's full potential and is the most powerful fan tion in our RP. The attacker was a hardcore fan of the Empire and paid the price for it
@@gnarlax2005 The server doesn't fit into the timeline of Star Wars. You can roleplay independently or join a faction, which doesn't necessarily need to be a real faction. They can be completely made up, just as I did. So you had the CIS, which at that point is the largest and most powerful faction on the server, controlling over 14,5k warships and using their full potential. And you had an imperial faction, like a post-imperial warlord, that is not comparable in size and power, controlling about 7,2k ships (400 ships + 3 Supers per planet with a max of 40 Planets). So the user leading the Empire wanted to conquer a CIS planet thinking it would be easy, because they're just droids. But he completely underestimated the user from the CIS and overestimated his own tactical skills and was a bad loser. When he realised he was losing (his ships were trapped by an Interdictor behind the Separatists' lines), he stopped writing and only after weeks of discussion finally agreed that the CIS could destroy the fleet. Of course the CIS suffered some losses, but they were few and easily replenished. In-line you could say that the imperial officers panicked and lost their overview over the battle, which the Separatists used to destroy them.
Wait a minute... What about the techno union D-1 Battle droid Magna octoptara and the ball (can't remember the name). They were featured in the last season of TCW. Otherwise, good video man. Keep It up
I still prefer the armies in Supreme Commander+Forged Alliance. There's just something still human about them that makes me feel at ease leading and fighting them. And they blabber on like Saturday morning cartoon minions, unlike the Alt-universe droids.
The sad part about the droid army was that, barring a few exceptions, every droid model acted the same way as any other droid of that model. If a person knew how to take out one droid of a model without a problem, that person could take out 99% of the same droids, in the same situation, without a problem. Even a small change to this, such as adding variable firing rates to their weapons would have been a game changer because would have made it a lot harder for Jedi to dodge or deflect their blaster fire.
I presume the automatic mode for the E-5 Sniper Rifle is meant to be used in emergency situations where the user was being descended upon by enemies at their position. Since Snipers typically hide in concealed and generally more tightly closed off areas such as buildings, it would be ideal to have a automatic mode on it to serve as a defensive means.
Bro, idk what you do to be able/willing to pump out these hour+ amazing videos, but PLEAASSEE keep it up! Meth or Adderall can be beneficial see everyone.... Lmao jkjk Thanks for the hard work!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I mean, if you really think about it battle droids kind of R equipment like whether or not they have sentience, they are manufactured for the purpose of battle and therefore equipment.
I SPECIFICALLY remembered a line from the Original SW:BF2(Original xbox and ps2 era). Clone troopers would yell, "Watch out for them wirst rockets!!" Just after they saw a B2 Battld droid open fire lol!!
If the entire CIS manufactured only the commando droids, they'd still have been able to make them in 5 to 1 numbers versus the cost of a Clone, and each BX droid was worth 5 clones already. But then, facing a droid rebellion would have meant the doom of the CIS... So, fair.

Sorry, Quintillion is a Million Quadrillions? What kind of Primary/Middle School math is that? Quintillion is a thousand Quadrillions, three more zeros, thats all You don't need a million millions to reach a billion A million millions would be a trillion A million Quadrillions would be a Sextillion (at that point it stops sounding like words) But yeah, Child math, it's not right at all
I remember reading the Attack of the Clones visual guide as a kid and believing Super battle droids were just B1s wearing armor. The page on B2s mentioned the internals are just B1 parts so it made sense to me.
The B1s are part of why I love the Phantom Menace. Phantom Menace is my favorite star wars film and I'm 30. Not ashamed. The originals and prequals are all awesome and I saw the originals more. But the first one is my favorite 1) Qui gon 2) Darth Maul 3 ) Original Jedi Council 4) Jarjar and Boss Nass 5) B1 battle droids / Droidekas 6) Newt Viceroy 7) Watto and the whole Podracing 8) young Obi wan 9) young anakin 10) Quigon (yes I said him twice)
I do have to say star wars does a great job of almost naming evrything and giving it its own little piece of lore not evry franchise does this at times you hear but then the captain shot him with his froahgun or something like that 😂 and youre just being there like what just happend 😂
@@Lunar0307 Nah man this is AI you can't tell me there's a droideka with 2 legs, a limp rifle, a single legged droid, the homing spider droid is just messed up, and the further back you look the more you notice how a lot of the "droids" seem to blend into each other. I could see there being an og image since a lot of AI art is just stolen images re-drawn but this is 100% an AI image.
@@wintereclipse3263 not sure if my other comment got deleted, but you can look up grievous legion art and you will find this image but without the filter
Oh, Geetsly, good you're alive. We hadn't gotten a video out since last Sunday so I feared the worst. lol. Although, I still fear this long gap could be a sign that were finally at the point where were running out of Star Wars stuff to talk about. I know this channel has made over 1300 videos on Star Wars for the last 8 years, but given how much lore there is to discuss I at least assumed we'd hit over 2000 in like 2 to 3 years, before we finally got to the point where we'd be scrapping the bottom of the barrel. XD. Also, 28:52-29:02: Better zoom functions would have cost extra, giving them the binoculars was probably cheaper. Also, also, 47:53-48:02: Oh that's how they destroyed those Republic Walkers in the 2003 micro series. I just thought those lancers were really strong and hard to peirce those AT-TEs. Okay, now I gotta know, if a living creature got hit by them would they survive? Not asking for any particular reason, certainly not because I wrote a crossover fanfic where I had some Pokemon, Pooh Bear and his friends, and others get knocked around by those weapons and still be fine for the most part. Lmao.
Ngl the unedited lap is the best part. So glad it wasnt changed at all! The engine sounds, pacing, its all so genuine and real looking compared to most highly edited racing shots.
Well then that dude must have never met a Droid like chopper he talked back he was homicidal even murderous at sometimes he killed quite a few of his own droid's he even argued and made threats and even tried to kill Ezra more than once
🫡Can you please give us a video on the mystery as to why Ventress and maul never came into contact either directly or indirectly within canon or legends. You would think that they would have seeing how they are dathormarians and have close ties with towzin and Savage oppress and doku. Very strange
Yeah, over an hour of Droid Army lore 👍 Ruune Hako: "Droids don't talk back!" Tactical Droids: Shoot incompetent superiors when they disagree with them or leave them behind (Wat Tambor knows this feeling). Super Tactical Droids: Smoke superiors (King Rash of Onderon can relate). DSD1: Refuses suicidal orders from meatbag superiors - Still blow themselves up when they feel like owning some meatbags. B1s: Watch Geetsly's video about 5 cheeky B1s.
Always considered them similar to ants when i was a kid. So so so many of them, pop up everywhere, take apart things thousands of times their size in minutes. Im so glad they humanised droids even if a fractional amount in comparison to the clones in the clone wars series, rest in peace that one commander who got slaughtered seconds after promotion
