Why did Lucas make these? Why did he make weak and ineffective comic relief characters the main enemy?

They were meant to be cheap and easy to mass produce. That's what made them effective armies for mega corporations like the Trade Federation.

They could just buy a huge, cheap army and overwhelm an enemy with numbers.

>Why did he make weak and ineffective comic relief characters the main enemy?
You now realize that Stormtroopers in the OT
1. couldn't shoot for shit even though Obi Wan says they are very precise shooters
2. The Emperor's best troops got raped by teddy bears

I really don't get why people think the OT does all these things the PT does "wrong" right.

There's a lot of things to bitch about but the battle droids are not one of them

They were also funded by somebody who was building an army to fight them as part of a giant publicity scam. Why would Palpatine want to build enemies that the Republic couldn't beat?

Because the Trade Federation were essentially a false flag for Sheev to manipulate the Republic with.

Seriously what the fuck were EA thinking with the title

Battlefront 1 was better

The original Battlefront II. The one that is worthy

Yeah because not being able to run was a great fuckin feature

RIP Star Wars

You had a good run before the Mouse got its claws in you

Because they weren't meant to be a big baddy threat, merely look like one.

No the true evil plan was the clone army.
Designed ahead of time (including the secret Order 66) the clone army was the true evil supply. The droids were merely the threat to make the DEMAND so that the clone army wouldn't be questioned and instead accepted as a miracle.
