>smarter, stronger and a better fighter than any human>droids are barely used for combat because... they just aren't OKAY???
>>214471632Reminder all nu wars is faggot shit
>>214471644Andor was good though, but I agree that most of it is
The are clunky as fuck, you moron. Easily outmaneuvered.
>>214471632K2 is quite literally the best droid in the whole franchise
>>214471673Reminder all nu wars is faggot shit
>>214471754nu wars isnt star wars
>>214471644I find that answer vague and unconvincing.
>>214471632Some "people" didn't like that the clone wars was actually two armies of clones duking it out in a massive war of attrition instead of gay le doppelganger body snatcher bullshit, so now we have to keep pretending that using droids for combat is unthinkable.
>>214471754You mean R2-D2 mate. The vital hero of every movie.
>>214471828The emperor shut down and banned droid armies in revenge of the sith
>>214471754does it have its own SHIELDS AND BUILT IN TURBO-LASERS? CAN IT TRANSFORM INTO A BALL AND ROLL FASTER THAN ANY OTHER FROID?? NO
>>214471828kek
>>214471916Superior battle droid stomping through.
>>214471754Super Battle Droid would make K2 its bitch.
>>214471632>That one terrible female leader does a suicide maneuver attack with her starship>Gets explained that it was a "million to one" shot>They don't just give droids access to the ships and make a suicide droid ships
>>214472091The Expanded Universe already had it covered but Disney decided not to steal that idea for some reason.
>>214472081these things looked stupid
>>214471632>droids are barely used for combat
Why was the Trade Federation Army99% joke droids that sucked at everything and posed zero threat >>2144722431% okay droids that were as useful in combat as any Stormtrooper/Rebel/Naboo redshirt >>2144720810.01% monster droids that could fight Jedi on equal terms >>214472014
>>214472394>99% joke droids that sucked at everything and posed zero threatThey were up against Jedi in TPM, which they were not primarily designed to fight against. Send them against anything else and they WILL get the job done.https://youtu.be/C6LRgEfJyRQ?si=7HY8fnyv2bBKA9l6
>>214472394Because you were watching Star Wars only with the Jedi in mind and not considering the perspective of the trillions of other people who live, fight and die alongside the Jedi, of which there were several just in TPM. Just because the droids were trivial for the small group of super monks who rarely actually fight, that doesn't mean they're trivial period.
>>214472495t. delusional roger, roger droid
>>214471632>droids are barely used for combatThere was an entire war dedicated to droids and how bad they actually are at fighting
>>214472728Idk man they consistently die after one hit, they miss frequently, they are obviously pretty stupid, and got their ass kicked by a vastly smaller group of fuckin gungans. Yes I know they technically won that one because they had tanks and artillery and a bunch of droids or whatever but the goofy comic relief aliens did some pretty heavy damage with slingshots and spears. Their not exactly treated as the most threatening group in any of these movies
>>214471772someday you will be loved, anon
>>214471967no he didn't
>>214471632>droids are barely used for combatthe separatist army was called The Droid Armyroger roger
>>214471632>K2 droid: fifty space bucks>Stormtrooper: two space bucks.
>>214472728Tartakovsky made these dudes look too cool
>>214472900>and got their ass kicked by a vastly smaller group of fuckin gungans>the goofy comic relief aliens did some pretty heavy damage with slingshots and spearsThat's not at all what happened. The gungans got curbstomped and corned until Anakin saved them by destroying the command ship.
>>214471632probably easy to disable en masse targeting a ship or emp type of weapons or whatever. more expensive than humans.
>>214472810>Droids sucked 100 years ago!>so what if we improved the designs!? >they could NEVER be used for war again! >We learned this! Stop trying to cross tradition!
>>214471632>destroys your entire armyHeh heh hwhooopsy dooopsy!
>>214472810The droids were literally winning until the puppet master decided to betray their leaders for the 700th time and turn them into scrap metal. For every jedi won victory in TCW droids captured like 10 other systems
>>214471632Suicide bombers are effective, but it gives you bad press after 20 years of war in the sandbox shooting down suicide bombers.
>>214471632Keep dreaming CLANKER
>>214471644FPBP
>>214472394The real world answer: George Lucas didnt like showing people being killed, even when you couldnt see the people because they were in stormtrooper armor, so shooting and slicing droids was much more kid friendly.Since the Jedi were going to be a huge part of the prequels, he had to show them actually slicing things, so slicing droids with lightsabers is much easier for a PG rating.
>>214471632>droids are barely used for combat because... they just aren't OKAY???I'm guessing you mean by the empire. Same reason they got rid of the clones, the emperor didn't trust them. The CIS was defeated by just turning off all their droids. Who in their right mind would create an OFF button for their entire army?
>>214471754HK-47 would fuck him up.
gonk
>>214471632Andor was so fucking KINO
