The Truth Behind why Clone Wars Era Droids were so FEARED by the Empire 

Good Droids Follow Orders

@@andrewdiez8353 roger...roger

We see them again in Rebels and even some in resistance

Same, I feel my Separatist Pride skyrocket seeing those Battle Droids fight one last time.

I bet!!

It’s ironic, the clones fought thousands of those only for the droids to fight along side them for one last battle

Well said

Lol

Congratulations! Your in the newest Republic History episode. #7 I think

@@americanpatriot2383 truth be told its true that funny

this is unironically true. If palpatine did in fact use battle meditation and his death on the death star is part of why the imperial fleet at endor just collapsed following his demise, he WOULD fear droids. Droids can't be influenced by battle meditation.

I'm glad we got to hear those goofy droids one more time!

@Elijah Lain okay

Imagine if the empire only used tie fighters as propaganda and used vulture droids in combat

@@Hey_Loser why? They are far too predictable and would be easier gunned down than tie fighters. You have a better argument with tri fighters

@@laisphinto6372 did you really just say tie fighters are a bigger threat then vulture droids? That's hilarious

Sounds like a plan to me

Hence why at least one(probably multiple) tactical droids thought it was a trick

I mean, I think it was more concentrated on forums then.

Hi geetslys

>Empire doesn't need clones >Kaminoans getting agitated with the Empire Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

It ain’t gonna be the 501st. Pretty much all the named 501st except Rex and Echo are dead. There’d be no point.

@@jonahj9519 only half went with ahsoka, the other half went with Anakin. Most of them are also dead tho, I just wana have battlefront flashbacks

Yup.

@@GAJake do you want the beginnings of Horizon: Zero Dawn? Cuz that’s how you get the beginnings of Horizon: Zero Dawn...

Nah, Palpatine would have planned that out/planned for that. Remember, the CIS wasn't even an organic organization, it was designed. Once it's purpose was fulfilled is was swiftly dismantled. There were separatist holdouts that lasted for a few years, but that's it.

@@YorktownUSA General Kalani indicates otherwise.

They are!

I especially like 0-0-0

Roger-Roger

I always wanted to see the CIS (or what was left of it) and Rebel Alliance work together (which they did to some extent). Separatist battle droids that still remained and Rebel troopers fighting alongside each other would of been really cool to see. I never really understood why the Rebels never captured a Droid factory and put it to use.

@@anooseofficer7842 I imagine it's because of the fact that if they were to capture and reactivate a Droid factory, they would need some way to defend it from orbit. The moment the Imperials catch wind of that, they'll be sending in their Star Destroyers to bomb the place back to the Stone Age. The Droids may give the Rebels an edge in ground battles, but they would need a strong enough Navy to hold the droid factories if they didn't want to lose it to Imperials who didn't care about capturing it and would blast it from orbit. And even if they had a factory that could produce Droid Starfighters, they'd still need a capital ship to launch from and exchange blows with the Imperial ships. The Rebel Navy was good, but they weren't in a position to go head-to-head with the full force of an Imperial Fleet

@@Lazarultos I assume they could of rebuilt the Separatist Droid Army even with Imperials snooping around with time and effort, the latter being something they had a lot of. The Droid factories could of definitely been disguised from any Imperials or Imperial Sympathizers, I can't imagine it would of been that difficult. Also, the Rebels had a ton of capital ships they could of monitored and controlled the droids from and fought Imperial ships with, even then though I highly doubt capital ships would be needed for the droids as they were most likely newer models and not the older pre-clone wars ones that required capital ships to operate. The only use I can see capital ships having relating to the droids are launching them from it like you said. Rebel fighters rarely ever got into battles where they just exchanged blows until one or the other was destroyed, they usually used hit and run tactics which droid starfighters would of been very helpful with. I feel like the CIS and it's Droid Army could of been brought back to it's former glory with dedication.

@@anooseofficer7842 You make good points there! It'd still be a huge effort to get it rolling, but there'd be an equally huge payoff. Although, I think it was mentioned in the Legends stories that a big reason why they didn't want to commit resources to reactivate the Droid army was because doing so would be a PR nightmare for the Rebellion. The Empire was already branding them as terrorists and extremists. Making moves to restart the Droid Army would've made the Rebellion look like Separatists 2.0, which a big chunk of the Galaxy hated both due to Imperial propaganda and being victims of the many war-crimes perpetrated by an un-feeling Droid Army controlled by Corporate Sponsors. The Rebellion was at a crossroads between going the purely practical "War of Attrition" route through the Droids or the "Hearts and Minds" route through making the galaxy WANT freedom, and they went with the latter.

@@Lazarultos Yeah, you're right. Trying to revive the Droid Army would of been met with conflicted views from the galaxy. If it wasn't for the extreme anti-separatist propaganda the Empire had been spreading I think the Droid Army could of had a chance at being brought back, at least in some capacity. Unfortunately, we never got to see any "what ifs" or something like that for Star Wars as restarting the Droid Army and using it against the Empire would of been one of the coolest ideas for it. At the very least, we got a few droids that survived the clone wars and had joined the Rebellion in some of the comics.

Same wrecker executing order 66 would be scary as fuck just a giant clone coming for you. Jesus that would be the scariest but funniest thing for me just wrecker having fun killing the jedi

@@cadbane3128 Would probably be like a weaker Savage Opress at best, usually it's never a good idea for anyone to try to fight a Jedi in Melee combat, unless you are Jango i guess.

@@ramarblood7697 yup

Not to mention most of their armory were just updated versions (or still functional models) of Clone War era weaponry short of a handful of completely new additions so the tactical droids wouldn't need to figure much out as far as their armory is concerned.

In legends a group of clone commandos mistook the order 66 transmission for a trick sent by the CIS to put them at a disadvantage, the shut down order could have been recieved similarly by kalani. Alternatively, his base's reciever antenna could have malfunctioned resulting in him not receiving the order or he simply resisted it like certain clones did, super tactical droids are the only droids to have names that aren't just serial numbers, implying that they are more independent than any other type of droid.

I thought the same thing. Surely they'd strip the weapons and electronics out before melting down the metal shells.

Forget someone taking control of the droids; think about all the stored energy in any one of those three things. It's a shock one of these droid reclamation centers didn't go up like someone lit a nuke at its base.

Welp, time to take down the video.

Did you know most CIS fans are also animal lovers? Probably because the droids resemble animals or insects.

Tactical droid plushie incoming?

What did I just read?

@@geetslys Nah mate, inflatable Tactical Droid sex dolls.

@@Kirifuki uh I think that's a little weird and you should find someone to talk to about that.

@@Kirifuki what........

I am glad she is growing on you!

It's called Character development of a child who is in a war situation.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Their casing does look remarkably similar, they clearly don't have the same processors though.

@@badideagenerator2315 Yeah they don't do all those fast movements , jumps, and flips.

I heard stuff about the droid being a HK unit.

Lets hope we get to see more of that

There should still be many Separatist Planets that still resist.

Gladly tarkin was not a smart individual

@@TheHawkeye0725 yep tarkin doctrine idiotic, i bet thrawn would have been willing to use the droids

*Good droids ROGER ROGER*

Orders are Orders

They should have given him a much better fight with the young rancor. It kind of sucked that we didn't see the entire fight between them.

@@carterholcomb1072 He handled pretty well considering its a rancor, now for fennec shand he should've lasted a little longer. He's a special ops clone vs a new bounty hunter, definitely did him dirty.

They need to have a episode where they get the chips out of their heads.

@@Bluesonofman I reckon that’ll be coming with one of the next couple episodes

Me too

Anakin committed a war crime, super tactical droids would assume that jedi would be above committing such atrocities.

@@badideagenerator2315 In fact, The Super Tactical Droid realized what Anakin was doing

@@nobleman9393 true

@@badideagenerator2315 I'm guessing Star Wars doesn't have it's own version of the Geneva Convention.

@@minicle426 you can't violate the Geneva convention if geneva isn't in your galaxy

And this could somehow make a star killer connection
