Be battle droid

So the Trade Federation can use cheap Chinese-made w)hand weapons and tanks they already owned.

So they can drive

>my dad sometimes says this because of this movie

the ones made for battle do
these were multi-purpose droids

Why not make the vehicles robots that don't need a driver and other robots can sit inside? The space fighters were robots that could transform for ground warfare right?

So you can sell the model with droids and the model without droids

They're called easter eggs, dumbass.

Why bother making robots at all when you can just make a mega laser far far away and just blow everyone up in 1 hit?

They don't need hands to drive. Why don't they just plug themselves into the spaceship dashboard with a usb

Why didn't they do that and just threaten Naboo into compliance or face complete and utter destruction?

Because the Death Star didn't exist yet.

the droidekas already did

Watch those wrist rockets!

Only now I realise their "head" resembles the original Battle Droid head, neat

DIE JEDI DOGS!

Remember when every new SW episode introduced new type of battle droid?
Yeah, it's back to stormtroopers now.

The virgin battle droid
The chad super battle droid

Yeah, but they didn't have an army of droidekas since they're expensive.

The seperatists army was this huge cobbled together mess of surplus weapons, company assets and local security forces, most of it designed for standard human users. Humanoid droids were an excellent choice to serve as baseline troops and staff.

>out of place quips in 1999
George truly was a visionary

yeah who wants to win a war

but the war started in the second movie and by then they did have super battle droids

Thats like saying "Why doesn't each US soldier have a personal tank"

Droidekas are more expensive than normal battledroids, by a massive amount (around 200 times). Now think how much of an area 200 battledroids can control, as opposed to 1 droideka. Droidekas are intended as response units, to go where they are needed, not as mainline battle droids.

The most cost-effective droid would just be a tiny hovering drone with a gun attached. Literally zero reason to make robots with legs.

If Battlefront 2 [2005] is canon, those are regular battle droids with armor over them.

The Prequels had everything backwards, simply to secure a PG rating.

The battledroids should have made up most of the standing army of the decadent and passive Republic. They would be thematically appropriate for the Republic's military as they are literally sitting on the shelf when the war starts. They represent a loss of fighting skill and spirit via automation. They work well for policing actions, but crumple in the face of anything resembling a peer adversary.

The droids would have been complimented by a mishmash of System levies and militia. These regiments would be relatively small, diverse, and lack standardized tactics, training and equipment. Their inefficiencies necessitate Palpatine's military reforms.

The cloners are an external threat and both attack directly and infiltrate via assasination and replacement. The cloners don't have to raise much in the way of their own armies to fight the Republic. Cloning and replacing key leaders in a number of militarily potent systems would allow them to wage and manipulate a war from the shadows.

The Republic is unable to cope with the new threat and struggles to keep their footing militarily. They beg the Jedi to intervene, as they can sense cloned replacements, especially those they are familiar with. The Jedi begrudgingly get dragged into political violence and intrigue, except for a few like Count Duku, who splinter off, or conscientious objectors, like Yoda, who go into reclusion.

Palpatine still manipulates his way to chancellor and then Emperor by instituting social and military reforms that standardizes the Republic's militias into what we eventually recognize as the Imperial military.

Have sex

Why didn't they just hyper-space ram Naboo?

Its a fucking children's movie.
What did you expect?

Brainlet.

Clones being good guys until their turn in Episode 3 shows us the slow decline of Jedi principles. "Killing" a droid can be easily justified. Killing a clone cannot be but as the war drags on and the Jedi are desperate to undo Palpatine's machinations, they break their code. The small time gap between the prequels and OT makes the transition of the clone army to the Imperial army more believable than a droid army to a human professional army.

Usb didn't exist yet it was the past

>be programmed to be homosexual
>doesn't even have genitals

They're humanoid droids created to operate humanoid technology, why do you think they look like skeletons and not flying spheres with gun ports?

They're mobile gun platforms, it's like saying why don't they just replace every rifleman with a heavily armoured machinegunner

>They basically cut 'em down like butter
Fuck you Horje

I don't care how stupid the design is or how loud they are I still love their autism so much.

>why do you think they look like skeletons and not flying spheres with gun ports?

Because Lucas is a hack and Star Wars is for retards.

Uh, a moment please, uh, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

The separatists were always supposed to lose. It was all part of Sheevs plan

If Palpatine didn't interfere with anything and they just kept reproducing B1s they would unironically win
think about it
clones are your average Republic soldier and cost a fortune to make, need to be fed, trained, have decent beds and overall need to be looked after
compare this to your average droid with needs to be created, given a blaster and recharged every so often. Their idiocy is a big downside but in a proper battle droids can fuck your shit turning the entire battlefield into a lightshow.

It's also more ethical and morally correct to use droids as soldiers rather than vat grown "child" slave soldiers.

This is why it makes more sense for the droids to be the standard unit of the Republic. And for clones to be an infiltration threat.

They could have had the droids get corrupted/hacked during the war, exposing the Republic's vulnerability and making the civilian population suspicious of droids (maybe the droids are reprogramed to waste a defenseless city)

When your computer makes a beep, you should understand too because in the manual of the motherboard it's written what each beeps mean.
One long beep means one thing, two short beeps another thing etc.

They were literally the most bottom of the barrel lowest bidder shit possible. iirc in the EU even their rifle was shitty, it was supposed to be inaccurate and vent heat constantly because it would only have to be used by droids.
