Andor was good though, but I agree that most of it is

The are clunky as fuck, you moron. Easily outmaneuvered.

K2 is quite literally the best droid in the whole franchise

nu wars isnt star wars

>>214471644
I find that answer vague and unconvincing.

>>214471632 (OP)
Some "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.

>>214471754
You mean R2-D2 mate. The vital hero of every movie.

>>214471828
The emperor shut down and banned droid armies in revenge of the sith

>>214471754
does it have its own SHIELDS AND BUILT IN TURBO-LASERS? CAN IT TRANSFORM INTO A BALL AND ROLL FASTER THAN ANY OTHER FROID?? NO

Superior battle droid stomping through.

Super Battle Droid would make K2 its bitch.

The Expanded Universe already had it covered but Disney decided not to steal that idea for some reason.

Why was the Trade Federation Army

99% joke droids that sucked at everything and posed zero threat >>214472243
1% okay droids that were as useful in combat as any Stormtrooper/Rebel/Naboo redshirt >>214472081
0.01% monster droids that could fight Jedi on equal terms >>214472014

They 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.

>>214472394
Because 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.

>droids are barely used for combat
There was an entire war dedicated to droids and how bad they actually are at fighting

>>214472728
Idk 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

That's not at all what happened. The gungans got curbstomped and corned until Anakin saved them by destroying the command ship.

>>214471632 (OP)
probably easy to disable en masse targeting a ship or emp type of weapons or whatever. more expensive than humans.

The 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

>>214471632 (OP)
Suicide bombers are effective, but it gives you bad press after 20 years of war in the sandbox shooting down suicide bombers.

>>214472394
The 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.

>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?

>>214471754
HK-47 would fuck him up.

Andor was so fucking KINO

>>214471673
Shills are in a special position with andor because no one cares enough to watch it to see if it isn’t shit

>>214472394
>99% joke droids that sucked at everything and posed zero threat
Because they're a cheap mass production army. And they were a threat to literally anyone who wasn't a Jedi.
>1% okay droids that were as useful in combat as any Stormtrooper/Rebel/Naboo redshirt
>0.01% monster droids that could fight Jedi on equal terms
Because those kinds of droids are more expensive, so logically you wouldn't see near as much.

Funny thing is that with the right programming, a single B-1 can be as deadly as a commando droid. But they don't put that kind of programming in B-1s because it costs too much.

>>214475208
Is this a walking trash can? Like some downgraded Wall-E?

>>214472081
As much of a Star Wars fag that I am, I don't get people who want to have these things in their house. Unless you have a mansion or something and can line them up in a hallway, it seems like a pain in the ass.

>>214476694
a GONK droid is a battery on legs
when you want to put a machine somewhere where the cable can't reach, just for a bit, you call the GONK over
this is why they reload your ammo in star wars vidya

>>214471772
lol, Andor it literally the only good Star Wars. Even the OT isn't as good. Even Rogue One, the film Andor is designed to lead into, is a 6/10 at best that gets hard carried by its third act.

>>214471754
HK is still the original goat. Every droid personality after has been a copy
