Why the Empire didn't use TRILLIONS of free BATTLE DROIDS 

I think it's a bit of both. Like an evil version of UN peacekeeping forces

Damn that's a good point

​@@qdaniele97 So... just like the UN peacekeeping forces then

@@waldotheranger3987 no

​@@qdaniele97 Evil UN peacekeeper be like

I agree he should have 1 million subs

Easily the best Star Wars creator

Star Wars isn’t really in with the algorithm like it was when they were pumping out content.

There's probably a lot of people like me. I thought I was subscribed since I've been seeing all the new videos on my feed.

​@@staticzero01Holy shit, you just made me realize that I haven't subscribed to Eck yet, even though I watch his videos regularly, lol.

Not really. There's a few episodes of Rebels, and The Bad Batch that show what happens to the battle droids post Clone War.

It seems the shutdown order for the droids was their version of Order 66 in a way. The message was sent to the tactical droids, most did shut down/obey the order, and a few refused it

@@212caboosealso in Jedi Survivor

No, they all joined a cult and killed themselves en masse by downloading taylor swift songs DUUUUUHHHHHHH

Droidekas are used in the forces of corruption expansion in empire at war

The clones didn’t beat them watch episode 3 it shows how the war ends

The force is something that surrounds all living things, right

IIRC, armor, that the Fel Empire's stormtroopers use, is supposed to be a modern piece of armor that looks just like Phase 3 armor (aka stormtrooper armor) due to out of universe reasons.

Thanks

I would argue he probably did, especially in Legends. Storehouses such as Mount Tantiss probably had tons of them. He just never got to the point that he thought he needed them, even in the Dark Empire storyline. His ego probably made him do the same thing over which was taking direct control through the force. He undoubtedly trusted himself more than any droids.

To be honest he should of just kept the tactical droids to help lead battles and naval fleets, we saw how many incompetent naval officers the empire had having tactical droids to assist would have helped things run much better.

And all that fear turned into a rebellion

It's at least 3+ million, though. Which is still tiny, but that is not counting the additional younger Clones still in training on Kamino (we see cadets continue to train until TBB S1, so after O66). Additionally, non-Clone volunteers enlisted and served in support functions and at least hundreds of thousands of Judicials transferred into the military. Planetary and sector defense forces also either integrated or supported the Republic military. I've been working on the GAR order of battle for months now and I basically don't worry about the number of Clones.

@@MrDK0010 I think we should stop making excuses for the tiny no. of clones, and just head canon them as 60 billion or smth like that, as even then 60 billion clones is still small for a galaxy with mutiple quadrillions of beings

@@themelon_1785 I'm simply pointing out what is already established in canon and legends. I'm not gonna go with a cheap random number for headcanon, I'm actually deducing structures and numbers to then expand upon, thank you.

A big failing of clone wars is it's always clones vs droids. Both sides had military personnel and enlistment. It's just their primary and large force was clones and droids. We sorta see this is the clone wars show. With gungans joining to fight on mon cala and separatist defending their planet from clones.

@@MrDK0010 I mean the established no. of clones is stupid, but you do you i guess, have fun tryna make sense of 6.2 million clones having an impact on a galaxy of ~1 quadrillion beings (canon) and 100 quadrillion beings (legends)

The emperor controlled them

the official cover was most likely that Anakin was killed in the purge just like the rest of them, there wasn't a jedi that was ever publicly announced as just missing or alive. They were all killed off to the public eye for trying to overthrow the empire. With nobody really knowing his status as Palpatine's apprentice outside of Maul, he wouldn't be excluded from that list.

The official cover story was that Anakin Skywalker was killed by Darth Vader defending the younglings in the jedi temple.

To answer the first question: Anakin was depicted as having died during Operation: Knightfall. He was supposedly the last surviving Jedi, having survived everything the clones threw at him, even attempting to protect the Younglings at one point. According to Imperial records, it took Darth Vader personally to deal with Anakin, and it was NOT an easy fight. Vader did manage to win, and slew Anakin, thus bringing the Siege of the Jedi Temple to a close. This reported victory over the Hero with No Fear catapulted Vader to instant status-symbol in the Empire, though it did take some time for the worlds further from the Core to hear about it. It put the fear of God into the Jedi who learned about it, though. Anakin was considered one of the best and strongest the Order had to offer, and Vader killed him. To most Jedi, it meant that you could not fight Vader, you could only run. The second question: If Anakin didn't need the suit. There are three ways this could happen: 1) He won the duel on Mustafar and killed Kenobi. 2) He lost the duel on Mustafar, but didn't get dismembered. 3) He lost the duel, was dismembered, but wasn't burned. The first one would cause ripple effects in the timeline, as it was Vader's defeat on Mustafar that caused so much headache for Palpatine, the Empire, and gave the galaxy room to breathe. If Vader had won, the Empire likely would not have been beaten, at least as we know it. Chances are good that Vader would have eventually overthrown Palpatine and gone on to be Emperor himself. The second scenario would probably lead to a similar result as the first, albeit with a minor setback on the Imperial side. The third scenario would require Anakin to be fitted with new prosthetics, and would be debilitating but not crippling. Vader would still need to undergo rigorous training to regain at least a portion of his lost power, and would likely still wear a modified suit to help with his cybernetics. It would not be nearly as extensive as the original, not needing a life-support system built into the suit just to keep Vader from flatlining. He also arguably would have been weaker than OG Vader, as the constant pain his burn injuries caused fed the Dark Side, letting him tap into it far easier and more deeply than he would have otherwise. At times, his rage in the Dark Side of the Force could surpass even Palpatine's, usually when all his buttons were pressed.

In the X-wing books, it was mentioned in the Imperial Museum that Anakin died protecting Palpatine from the Jedi.

​@@Only1199 Seems awfully weird for the Empire to give Anakin a heroic sounding death, to die defending children. With Palpatine trying so hard to vilify the Jedi, you'd think he'd lay on the propaganda way thicker. Something like: "War Criminal Anakin Skywalker killed in action during Vader's raid of the Jedi temple. Holo recordings shows footage of Anakin massacring the cult's child soldiers to prevent their rescue and deprograming by Republic troops." Also the obligatory: "Among the many prominent Jedi killed at the scene, he was the only one who was not granted the rank of master."

Some at the start But losses and break downs got rid of them

Battlefront 2 has AT-RTs in Rebel service.

They didn't do it alone companies like Rothana and Kuat Shipyards were contracted to build ships, armor, weapons, and Vehicles in secret.

Thrawn was a commander who believed battle were won mainly by loyalty and devotion to the cause. He would have hated battle droids except to operate machinery.

@@matrix-5466 but wouldn't Thrawn understand that mass produced droids are much more sustainable than his stormtroopers?

@@Royce0508Sure but having the largest force doesn’t guarantee victory…

@@matrix-5466 but Thrawn had the brilliance to pull it off. If he already had superior numbers at the beginning, he would've easily crushed the battles which were losses or nearly lost

@@Royce0508You can be the most brilliant mind in the world (or galaxy I guess) but if you don’t have capable soldiers or resources, it means nothing. The main reason the CIS lost was because of an incapable army despite having billions of battle droids next to around 6 million clones.
