Daily reminder two Droidekas are more more powerful than two Jedis

...

After the audit is done, yes.

Sheev will release his tax returns once Hilary releases the rest of those emails.

As oppossed to what, our world? They are still good robots, it's just that we always see them up against skilled Jedi who are accustomed to fighting them. Plus they have predictable attacks, making it ecen easier for Jedi since they are well trained for these stuff and can easily read their moves.

Nice try fleshbag. You wouldn't be alive bots were filmed properly. Human propaganda will not help you in the future.

ayy lmao

Fixed that for you.

Holy shit.

Well if you think about the Bothans being the Hackers….

Bravo Pajeet. You have saved the world.

SLOW THE FUCK DOWN HITLER

If you also replace the Death Star as Trump's Wall and making the Wookies Pay for it by using them as slave labor.

No, they were evenly matched. Qui-Gon realized this and suggested they retreat to avoid any pointless losses. Also, going by Clone Wars and Phantom Menace, they're actually easy to beat, so long as they don't have shields up, or you have aircraft.

...

what did the trade federation mean by this?

They must have been crippled by some ridiculous anti- and disarmament treaties. The Republic itself didn't even have an army at all.

Sure. But the thing is they are so incredibly useless that I don't see the point. Cannon fodder may have it's place, but they're useless to the point where I think it'd be much more efficient use of resources to just not bother and instead build more bigger and better droids.

The Clone Wars cartoon doesn't make them look useless. Sure, one on one they're not much of a threat, but when massed together the sheer volume of fire they produce is enough to screen the advance of more valuable troops and likely kill many clone troopers in the process.

I think the Separatists deliberately chose numbers over quality. That being said, if I was in their place I'd likely be making car sized droid tanks with shields, canon and anti-infantry weapons (fragmentation grenade mortar to saturate the area around the tank with shrapnel).

so they can't instantly smash them like tin cans with their minds

for some reason

...

Droid labor is the cheapest kind of labor there is.

1,000 years before the Clone Wars that pretty much happened. The Republic thought they had seen the last of war and a lot of disarmament happened. End result was that a fuckton of technology actually regressed to the point that 4,000 year old tech was actually more advanced than the stuff they have by the time of the Empire.
Mind you, that depends if Disney acknowledges the old fluff or just do what they've doing right now, which is picking and choosing what parts to rape without inventing anything interesting on their own

The real question is why don't they use bullets instead of lasers? A bullet going fast enough can travel through the heat of the light saber and hit him. It will be a flaming hot shard that strikes the Jedi.

Seems that the treaties were followed even during the war, even though it was supposedly desperate struggle, until the Empire came. Neither side apparently drafted citizens outside local planetary militia like those bug people on Geonosis. Republic lucked out with those clones that they didn't need to acknowledge as real people.

I mean, they're hardly people if their brains were tampered with to obey commands without question. Seems more like droids vs zombies.

The people of the republic must have been really unpatriotic and/or lazy to just accept that. Sheev sure was lucky that the senate just didn't accept the secession.

Pretty much, Clone Wars was fought on a basis of loopholes rather than outright warfare. Lucas tried to explain it but was too autistic to tell it. Another factor was that the CIS were not meant to be evil, a lot of worlds joined them voluntarily and after the war a lot of them were the core founders of the Rebellion and in the initial stages were the ones providing badly needed Capital Ships.
Additional points were that Sheev was trying to consolidate and merge a lot of companies and corporations under his wing; there was a reason why Kuat Drives for example were literally the only Major Shipbuilder for the Republic during the Clone Wars.

Sheev made a lot of important people rich beyond their wildest dreams, which in turn turned a lot of worlds very rich. For every world that was "Oppressed" another prospered. Really the only people who opposed Sheev were people who had nothing to offer the Republic and later the Empire.

Or why not use explosives

They kind of do actually, they are called scatterguns which are basically shotguns. They are often combined with flamethrowers. Just not shown often

Too slow and have a habit of being pushed back at the enemy.

So, Women's Studies and the rest of liberal arts majors.

Alderaan sounds like such a cesspit.

Bang on the head honestly. The Empire did nothing wrong apart from pissing off the wrong Ayy's to be honest

All ayys and niggers need to be exterminated.

you mean

he meant that the good always prevails, even if it's 1v10, 1v100, or 1v10000000 as it was in LoTR

Daily reminder that the flight plan I listed with the agency lists me, my men, dr. Pavel here, but only one of you.
First one to talk gets to stay on my aircraft

He got a tax break from his lunar casinos being destroyed in a horrible horrible accident and therefore doesn't have to pay taxes for the rest of his life. But he's under audit right now so he'll get back to you on that.

How the fuck was anything enforced or defended from if fucking corporations had a military might stronger than the entire Republic?

Like others have said, the Rebels constituted the minority of the known galaxy. Most people supported the Empire.

IIRC, in the Star Wars universe they did use bullets at one point, but they were made obsolete when a new type of armor, that could only penetrated by lasers, was invented.

they're no match for droidekas

Jedi don't wear armor though.

Also, if everyone is shooting energy bolts at you you're gonna switch over to armor that protects you against energy bolts, thus making bullets viable again, because it will take time for the enemy to mass produce anti-bullet armor again.

If the lightsaber can cut clean through a droid surely it coulda stop a bullet?

...

...

Jedi can block bullets.
And the whole thing is that the armors used are already able to handle a lot of kinetic damage, it's just that blocking laser bolts is much harder thing to do, hence why every military in the galaxy uses them.

Why dont they give every soldier sheilds like those rolling cockroach droids had? They can have a clone that carries a backpack that makes a shield and the rest just stay behind him.

In essence, a lot of the corporations became the military might of the Republic and the Jedi were meant to be the Galactic Police Force. You can see how well that turned out in the end?

I fear when the machines look at this

In reality? Cost and time to manufacture, plus they aren't actually that long duration wise and short out easily. The decent ones are far too clumbersum to haul around constantly. Better off getting stuff like .gif related

pic related just because I forgot to post it

Personal shields are incredibly expensive, especially powerful personal shields like as seen with Droidekas. It's seemingly too hard to create cost-effective generators capable of being carried by infantry
Also continued usage of personal shields, especially crude ones, can be harmful to the user themselves.
It

Droidekas make me extremely aroused.

Thing is about Droidekas is they ain't half as vicious as the bugs that make them, or the most vicious thing they make.

That's what shotguns are for.

And flamethrowers

They're also far more attractive than the bugs that make them

Would you Roger Roger a Droid?

Any more gifs especially of droidekas? How exactly do they scrunch up into a ball a roll around?

Why didn't they just force push them into each other and smash them to bits?

It is never implied once that Jedi are smart.

I don't think they were prepared to be both gassed and then immediately attacked by those murder machines. In the later movies, I believe they are far more capable of handling droids after having fought them for so many years. Also, the droidekas had a strong laser and never really gave you a lot of time to use force powers on them unless you knew they were coming and were preemptive about it. Their shields were pretty bs too as it was stronger than their blasters, which were already pretty strong.

The cost of the war ended up tearing them apart in the end. Anakin didn't even need to kill them. They would have done it themselves after having lost so much wealth and power. Also, I don't think they ever expected Naboo to put up so much resistance, so I don't see why they would have stacked their elite bots against when the battle droids were believed to be adequate.

Their rate of fire was shown at the Battle of Naboo when they made it past the shields and started slaughtering the Gungans. The only thing that I can see going wrong with a massive murder machine is that the Jedi are wizards and will use space magic against it, which means a whole shit ton of resources are going to get eaten up by it. In comparison, not many normal people are going to resist battle droids. The military and Jedi will, but the local populace will more than likely just treat them as a normal police force. Having more of them means that you exert more control over a wider area. A death star is nice, but you have to move it around for it to be effective. Sprinkling battle droids everywhere is easier and cheaper in the end.

They weren't prepared and the droideka's immediately opened fire and kept it up from what I remember. The clones managed to kill some Jedi by just unloading on them at one time. I'm sure the Droideka could do the same thing if you failed to stop their constant barrage.

They're essentially just walking firing lanes, and cheap enough to be so.
Like, imagine if actual militaries had the means to field a seemingly endless and constant amount of waves that did not fear death and likewise did not stop barraging the enemy.
Of course they would use them.

Fun fact, their natural Preadator was called the Hueche, They fear them so much that if they ever encounter Brazilians they will run away immediately.

...

Só não te dou outra porque…

Seu Madruga, a sua avozinha era comunista?

E da próxima vez, vá pregar a Revolução Cubana para a sua avó!

Me no hablo espaniol famigo

That's not Spanish, amigo.
The filename says "Madruga", so I know he's a huehue. In Mexico that character is called Ramón.

So is Chavez the first instance of a foreign dub being better than the original show?

why didnt they just nuke the jedi

I don't know, but if there is any example of south american kino, it is it.

A reminder that Jar Jar took one out by kicking around a droid stuck to his leg.

A reminder that Jar Jar was the useful idiot who was strung along the way by Sheev in return for "belonging" until the moment he saw fit to use Jar Jar's lack of competence and become the emperor.

I think jar jar is a force sensitive idiot who just taps into the force power of idiotic accidental crticial hits and chaos. Think of him like an RPG character who has no skills but can land critical hits all the time.

Supposedly Jar Jar was meant to be a Sith, considering behind the scenes footage of Lucas developing characters and his input on Robot Chicken.

He's the key to everything.

Which is ridiculous. I understand the whole "Guardians of the Peace" but I would assume that meant just going round the galaxy and helping people out with their troubles. Not solving intergalactic trade disputes.

No, this was just bullshit passed around reddit.

It's built on the RLM-inspired belief that the prequels aren't kino, and reddit proposed that an asspull with the comic relief of the first film as a 'twist' would have 'saved' the prequels.

I can understand what he's going for with that. Since Yoda's introduction was having him be a bit of comic relief but that was only for a few minutes.

I don't know how he could think Jar Jar would be received positively if he was a fucking shitty comic relief character for 2 and a half films before revealing he's the Sith Lord.

Yeah sure thing bud, I guess those "Jar Jar is the key to this" threads on 4chan before the Exodus was just my imagination.

You are forgetting one thing about Lucas, he is literally autistic.

This is a much more plausible forced meme than the prequels are misunderstood masterpieces. I can believe Lucas would try this and then pussy out because of fanboy hate.

its a good thing trump will die soon

...

They went as ambassadors to the chancellor, not jedi. Officially the jedi weren't involved. That's not to say the jedi don't get involved in political conflicts, it's just something they try to avoid.

That would've been brilliant.

wait until petar sues his faggot ass a century later

NO! THAT'S NOT TRUE! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

It probably has more to do with ammo capacity, weight and expense than power or range. With blaster tech, even a pistol can hold hundreds of rounds, while the largest real-life rifle magazine, the Beta-C-Mag, can only hold 100. No average grunt is ever issued a Beta-C-Mag because it's expensive, and ammo weighs a lot.

Others have suggested that Star Wars armor is highly effective at stopping kinetic projectiles, so energy weapons became the default. There is some evidence against this though. Chewbacca's bowcaster is a kinetic weapon and it's as powerful as a heavy blaster. Also, in the old EU, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy had the Imperial Heavy Repeater, which fired metallic bolts, and it rips through armor and shielding very effectively, but it's not canon anymore. There was also the flechette shotgun from both those games and Battlefront II, where you receive it as an award weapon for the engineer class. Most stormtroopers don't have either, suggesting that they're more expensive to produce and/or weigh more. Guns that fire anything resembling real bullets are very rare in any Star Wars media. Metallic bolts and flechettes may be kinetic projectiles, but they aren't standard-issue in the real world. They are, however, smaller than the majority of bullets, especially flechettes, thus granting greater ammo capacity and lending support to the idea that that's the real reason to use blasters.

To add to this, Jedi Outcast and Academy show that lightsabers are able to block bullets, but not reflect them back at the shooter. Presumably the bullets are heated on contact with the lightsaber blade until they become plasma, which is then dissipated by thermal expansion because it's not being held together by any sort of electromagnetic confinement, which blaster bolts would have if you believe the common theory that blaster bolts are made of plasma. There have been some experiments showing that spinning a plasma bolt can hold it together, analogous to the way that spinning a bullet with rifling increases its range. Regardless of how blasters are actually supposed to work, it's true that shotguns, flamethrowers, explosives and other area-damage weapons are the best option for normal soldiers to use against Jedi, but you don't see them carried much because obviously, most enemies aren't going to be Jedi. If bullets aren't reflected back at the shooter by a lightsaber, that would be an excellent incentive to use them because they're good against both Jedi and regular troops, but again, you can't carry as many of them. Battle droids and regular soldiers carry blasters because blasters have better range than shotguns or flamethrowers and more ammo than slugthrowers, and thus they can expect the enemy to carry blasters, so if they want to win a war where 99.999…% of the opponents don't have lightsabers, you need blasters. The choice is obvious. The only exception to this might be Mass Effect 1-style kinetic ammo that hardly ever runs out, which would dovetail with the idea of using flechettes and metallic bolts for a kinetic weapon with more ammo, but nu-BioWare thought that was too much fun, so they got rid of it.

actually a lot of shit that got removed from canon is now canon, including the Imperial Heavy Repeater. Disney was that creatively starved they are just raping what they like out the old EU rather than putting any effort in

Not surprising. Does it still act the same though? I heard they changed cortosis.
