Why didn't the Trade Federation just build like 20 of these guys and wipe out the Republic, the Jedi, the Gungans, etc. all at once?

I fucking loved those things as a kid.

Because the Trade Federation didn't produce their battle droids. They bought them. Droidekas with shield generators are expensive. It's cheaper to buy a standard B-1 in large numbers to overwhelm an opponent.

Why not just build 20 General Grevious bodies?

those things were only hard to fight during the first scene, afterwards they were pretty much cut through like butter.


literally a video game. new enemies are only hard when you first fight them but get monotonous as time goes on.

Fucking Lucas

They still have them.
Also
>Not like Super Battle Droids
Ultimate pleb

WATCH OUT FOR THOSE WRIST ROCKETS

their shields only last for 8 seconds

Episode 7 missed out on a huge opportunity to use all the the deactivated battle droids it was such a shame.

>play SWBF2
>super battle droids are just standard CIS infantry
>play republic commando
>super battle droids are now hulking, inhuman monsters that have giant red eyes, inane amounts of firepower, make creepy-ass noises, and take lots of concentrated fire to stop
That game was the fucking best

what if they just rotate in between recharges

>Prequel trilogy kicked off when Trade Federation tried to use force to get favorable trade deals
>15 years later
>Trump comes in to power talking about trade deals and use of force

Was Lucas trying to warn us?

Why didn't Sheev just build armies of these things after he became the Emperor?
He practically owned the trade federation anyway.

SAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US

Why didn't The New Order replace storm troopers with Phase Three Dark Troopers?

>B-1 battle droids that look like well-worn pieces of industrial hardware, covered in minute autistic detail
>Droidekas that look like they belong in a James Cameron or Paul Verhoven movie because they are such clinically technological looking killing machines
>Super Battle Droids with sparse, detail-free designs that prioritize aesthetics over functionality, fighting with those stupid arm blasters like some sort of low-budget tokusatsu show's cannon-fodder baddies that all get nerfed before the monster-of-the-day shows up

Fuck, the art direction took a goddamn nosedive between Episodes I and II. TPM actually LOOKED like a Star Wars film, while far, FAR too much of AOTC and ROTS looked like a Saturday morning cartoon come to life.

they're white supremacists they don't want anyone dark

>Why didn't Sheev just build armies of these things after he became the Emperor?

The same reason why Clone production was ceased when the Empire was founded. Training millions of recruits and conscripts is vastly cheaper instead of manufacturing millions of troops. And Stormtroopers are slightly more capable than a standard B-1.

>He practically owned the trade federation anyway.

Yeah, but the Trade Federation doesn't manufacture Battle Droids. And he liquidated the TF's assets (amongst others) to fund the Empire's military budget. The money for those hundreds of Star Destroyers, millions of Stormtroopers and two Death Stars didn't come from nothing.

I know you're memeing, but I have no idea how people think that when the original on screen actor who spawned the clone army was Maori.

Blows my mind

Because Grevious was a cyborg and not a robot you fucking retard

He's talking about the First Order. Not the Empire.

But he is memeing though. He's forgetting that they allow niggers and women into their ranks.

Because they had to use roger roger robots instead because Lucas doesn't understand the difference between an emotionless gag filled children's movie and a movie that's accessible to all ages: see jar jar

Why didn't anakin just use force speed to escape the lava?

>talking shit about the super bad boys
Son they lost naboo because of scavenged weapons

THEY'VE SENT IN THE SUPERS

>But he is memeing though. He's forgetting that they allow niggers and women into their ranks.

But aren't they a WHITE SUPREMACIST group according to the writer?

But only Black people have a conscience, except when quipping and slaughtering his former Brothers in Arms...then murder is A OK.

What the absolute fuck are you on about?

They are, if anything, a human supremacist group.

Hmmm never realized those no neck chumps use the same head as the regular droids

WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS

WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS

>that Hypori mission with the Droideka factories in Empire at War

>But aren't they a WHITE SUPREMACIST group according to the writer?

He said that about the Empire, not the First Order. One way or the other though, he's wrong. The Empire allowed women, blacks and nonhumans into their hierarchy.

Pic related is one of the most influentially powerful individuals in the Empire, and is in the Emperor's inner circle.

>when you're so proud of winning your intergalactic Oscar you get it fused to a golden staff and carry it everywhere

damn look at that ass on the left

The Empire generally was (at least in old canon) very humanocentric in its official ideology, with a slice of misogyny on the side. Palpatine himself doesn't seem to have been particularly concerned with it and had various talented non-human aides and officers under him.

The Empire and the more coreward worlds were human, and the dirty Outer Rim that was in need of further conquest and civilizing after being under the alien Separatists was mostly composed of alien populations.

>and the dirty Outer Rim that was in need of further conquest and civilizing after being under the alien Separatists was mostly composed of alien populations.

Actually, most of the Outer-Rim was not within the control of the CIS, as most of it was just not worth fighting over or belonged to criminal empires like the Hutts. The CIS did however have systems in their control in the Core, Inner, Mid-Rim and Outer-Rim territories.

>The Empire generally was (at least in old canon) very humanocentric in its official ideology

Thankfully, none of that counts anymore.

...

This design is shit desu. Literally just "it's bigger therefore scarier" but increasing the size is a stupid decision because it just costs more to make and maintain while offering zero functionality. In fact, it's actually an easier target to hit and destroy. They could have just mounted the same weapon on a pair of wheels and produced 50 of them for the price of one super battle droid. Its purely masturbatory and has no thought put into it.

The prequels were a Vietnam allegory, I thought, with Episode III being more about the war on terror

Have you watched the fight in the colloseum? They often got hit but dis but a scratch for them.
There was even one cool shot where one got hit, got pissed and turned around to rapid fire back.

My point is that it isn't a functional or efficient design. The design team was lazy and said "let's just scale up this robot and give it chrome plating because it's the biggest cliche ever so the audience will understand it easily."

They have a great blaster noise.

PACHOW PACHOW

>the dark side
>white supremacists
is this pottery?

the droids are made by the techno union, to make more of them they'd need to hear dangerous levels of techno

youtube.com/watch?v=PW4OIHDsWsM

SUPER BATTLE DROIDS! TAKE THEM DOWN!

they have cloning tech though

Don't make excuses in behalf of george

Because you can destroy their shields easily by doing a double jump ground pound.

Fighting those things was fucking terrifying in Republic Commando.

>they could build a robot so deadly that he could easily 1v1 all but the mightiest Jedi 4,000 years ago
>robot technology has somehow gotten considerably worse since then

>Don't make excuses in behalf of george

But it's straight up what they don't do. The Trade Federation are merchants. Not Droid Manufacturers. Battle Droids were manufactured by Baktoid Combat Automata and Baktoid Armor Workshop, subsidiary companies of the Techno Union.

Because each one would cost roughly about 3.5 billion republic credits to produce.

Those are cylons

Fighting through the droid ship on geonosis and combing through the racks of supers was terrifying and only matched by the awesomeness that was defending the acclamator in the second chapter

>Giving Thrawn pupils and irises in Rebels.
Fucking Jews.

Everything has gotten weaker in the Star Wars universe. The entire galaxy is in a clear, bizarre decline, and not just technologically either. In KOTOR II, Kreia tells your character that the things the Jedi/Sith were doing were child's play compared to what their ancestors were doing centuries earlier.

These things can easily be destroyed with a bigger laser gun. Anakin blew them away when he hopped into that yellow spaceship. Reflecting their lasers with a light sabre is useless, but any army has large enough guns to just shoot Droidekas down.

youtube.com/watch?v=PW4OIHDsWsM

why didn't the separatists just get the Techno Union to make sick beats instead of war machines?

>Droidekas are expensive

But multiple Death Stars are not?

It's not cost effective

Because Lucas is a hack

And Rogers were? I can't imagine a more useless piece of shit to use outside them piloting tanks. Should have just stuck like 6 machine guns in an R unit

>And Rogers were?
yup

deal with it retard

This guy would look so much cooler if he didn't have those ridiculous thighs. As it stands I can't look at him without getting annoyed and mildly aroused.

The standard droids were clearly cheap as fuck, they were lightweight and had very few functions. An R type has a lot of different fuctions and is therefore more expensive to produce. It made more sense to mass produce a few million droids and use overwhelming numbers. (R units are also less mobile)

...

SWBF2 is amazing. Too bad there are no more servers online.

>Jar Jar was a nigger all along
>gungans are essentially amphibian niggers

Truly pottery.

They're space Jamaicans, it's not even subtle

...

>hehe, yes goy. A wise investment my friend

how did Lucas get away with this? Was this ok back then?

Why didn't they stop him when they had the chance?

Same way Rowling got away with the (((goblins)))

>But multiple Death Stars are not?

Oh, they are. But you don't need too many of them and they serve a very big purpose.

Droidekas in relation to their function, are expensive. You could probably get the same job done as two Droidekas with maybe ten B-1s. And those ten B-1s probably cost less than one Droideka.

There are. Look up SWBFSpy.

...

Indeed. Just as Toydarians are space arabs, Twi'leks are space french, Nemoidians are space jews, ect.

Wait, were there deactivated droids in some scene I'm forgetting about in 7?

No but a leftover droid squadron meets up with a clone squadron in Rebels

No. Episode 7 was made by OT purists. They went so far as to edit out such minute prequel references that most people would've never noticed out of the DVD/Bluray cut of the flick.

>yfw if it hadn't been for Jar Jar the Empire would not have had an army

>spend so much effort on denying the prequels
>end up making the blandest piece of shit possible

That's neat. Is Rebels worth a watch? How bout the CG Clone Wars show?

...

That's just one server. There's a few players on other servers usually.

All it shows is that they're the worst kinds of Star Wars fans. With or without the references, the movie was still garbage.

The Techno Union army *techno bleeds from voicebox* is at your disposal count

It was explained in their fucking books.

Their shields are good, but as soon as they are contacted with an another object they wll start overheating.

youtube.com/watch?v=PW4OIHDsWsM

You got that wrong Toydarians are obviously Jews and the Nemoidians are obviously the Chinese

clone wars is has a good start and still got better with each season.rebels is shit

I'll check out Clone Wars, then. Thanks.

...

both are very good shows, but they do start off slow since the creators weren't sure what they could get away with.
Around the end of season 1 for both shows is when things get really good and honestly some clone wars episodes are way better than the movies.
Rebels is hit or miss with people since season 1 they had disney on their backs the whole time so they weren't sure what thy could get away with. but season 2 is great and i hope rogue one does vader as well as they did.

Technology in Star Wars doesn't make sense. You would think robots would get better and better with time, but no, let's replace everything with blind guys wearing plastic armor.

my post is clearly better though

the UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ is at your disposal, count.

season 1 can be a bit childish at some moments the real deal is season 2-4 with big battles and unexpectly much violence
