Was there any real reason the battle droids were as dumb and mental handicap? Was it suppose to be funny?
Roger, roger.
>>220041370i think it had to be comic relief. no organization like the trade federation would use droids this dumb. i hate the prequels so much
>>220041370they're programmed to function as military personnel.make em smart enough to translate Huttese or repair a carbonized power coupling, they're no longer willing to blow up naboo preschools to steal lebensraum for Jude Gunray.
>>220041370Ironic, coming from you.
uhh you're under arrest
>>220041370yeah, it was "suppose" to be funny, like when you and your marine buddies start talking.
>>220041370Was there any reason the stormtroopers were dumb as fuck?
>>220041370I think it's because computers were a lot dumber back then than they are now
They had to be stupid enough not to revolt.
>>220042130Eruh
>>220041370Roger, roger.
>>220041370They weren't the brains of the operation, there was a separate tactical Droid that gave orders and also kept improving the more battles it participated in.These guys were just canon fodder
>>220042198They were always shooting at people they wanted/needed alive
>>220042198Most stormtroopers were local yokels from different star systems that signed up for the military at an older age.Clone troopers were bred from birth to be the ultimate soldier, and were cloned from an apex space Spartan.The first order basically tried to do what Jedi did, didn't use clones but took toddlers and indoctrinated them to make good warriors.
>>220041370>robots were comically retarded in the year 2000, murderbots in the 80swhat did they mean by this?
>>220041370they had to lose a fight against fucking gungans
>>220041370So they can have war without blood or feeling bad when the bad guys get blasted. Also it's a short of piss-take on how dumb soldiers are
>>220042466They had better computers in the 80s, with real keyboards!
>>220043971They won the fight, handily. They lost because an 8 year old flew into their key space station and destroyed it from the inside. The battle droids did their part.
>>220041370Star Wars has always been held back by Lucas' insistence it's a children's franchise.
fprr
>>220041742being smarter wouldn’t magically instill them with human western morality, making them smarter would make them better at accomplishing the goals you set before them. Human morality is largely taught, but it’s not logical, because it is a survival strategy for humans to function in a human based society. A droid wouldn’t think sharing something with someone it’s not allied with, would be a logical action. But a human will give charity, because we feel it is the right course of action, it’s what we would want in return.>>220041415same fren. I wish there never were any movies after the OT at this point. Largely a series of mistakes, the exceptions of good stories has been rare.
>>220041415Nemoidians are chinks
>>220041415The Trade Federation adapted the B-1 series from a line of security droids, essentially mall cop-tier stuff. Remember, their number one priority was getting everything done the cheapest way possible. They were armed entirely with off-the-shelf equipment originally designed for the consumer market, like the AATs being crewed with individual droids rather than being dedicated automated platforms. Actually intelligent, adaptable, and competent droid brains are expensive. A mall cop jury-rigged into a soldier is not.
>>220041370They’re mass-produced robots designed for the specific task of fighting and being cannon fodder. They don’t really need much else.
Lucas didnt want Jedis dismembering thousands of people so the enemies had to be droids.
>>220041370>hmm, we need an army to enforce our new totalitarian empire>let's shut down the soldiers that never sleep, eat, drink or defect and go with useless humans that can't aim instead
>>220050132the clone wars led to the galactic public really hating droids. the empire was the successor to the republic, and even paplatine couldn't go against the wishes of the people in the early days of the switch over. this changes later on in the empire after enough time has passed, with concepts like the dark troopers appearing.
>>220041370The longer a droid goes without regular memory wipes, the more of a quirky personality they develop. The megacorps that bought thousands of the little bastards are too cheap to refresh them regularly, so these droids that were originally designed as simple ship security have become an army of Paul Blarts.
>>220046556a machine might conclude that it may be logical, for instance to not murder children, based on the morale outrage it could create among humans which might conflict with some higher directive by it simply thinking further ahead down the line about the consequences its actions might bring, while a human might not do so simply because they believe killing children is wrong, the machine on the other hand could base it on a cost-benefit analysis if it was intelligent enough to do so. so just because a machine isn't instilled with morality doesn't mean its logic based goals can't align with it
>>220041415>no organization like the trade federation would use droids this dumbAnon, look at irl corporations. Of course they fucking would do that if it made them more money/cut costs.
>>220046229This. The Gungans were never meant to win the battle. They volunteered to be a distraction so the more competent guys could save the day.
>>220050132>WW3>China loses>1 world government lead by the United States>Chinese soldiers walking around maintaining orderThat's how retarded it would be to keep the droids around.
>>220051358Wow, thanks for the spoiler mr. Thiel.
