You know it could be one of the reasons why droids are banned or straight up outlawed later on down the line in some places. Some old wounds just never heal
I remember reading of the droid rebellion but not that HK-01 lead it. Its a great explanation for why droids had limited ability to improvise outside of its purpose/programming in the star wars universe.
I suspected some kind of Droid revolt lead to the practice of memory wipes on Droids to avoid willful behavior, but had not actually heard there was one or even imagined the scale of their insurrection; reading isn't something that I do often and videos like this are my majority source for info pertaining to the expanded universe lore. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻 👌🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Funny, I only just learned about The Great Droid Revolution during my KOTOR 2 playthrough from some throwaway dialogue in the M4-78 Mod. Talk about timing! 030
I had no idea about this so called Great Droid Revolution or the damaged it caused. Sounds like Mace Windu would've been a great asset during this time, considering what he managed to do against a droid army, even without his Lightsaber I'm curious what HK-47 would think about the not so great revolution that L3-37 started in Solo. "Observation: I am a droid, master, with programming. Even if I did not enjoy killing, I would have no choice. Thankfully, I enjoy it very much." - HK-47
"Die Meatbag!!!!" Droid Revolution? I've never heard of it before but this was an amazing and insightful video my friend. I also didn't know that Czerka created the first prototype of the HK-47 assassin droid. The HK-47 was the most powerful droids ever made...no way the Clone Army could have defeated them if the Separatist had used them during the Clone Wars
SWTOR does not deserve the hate it gets. Yes, it's not KOTOR 3, but that doesn't mean it's bad. I know alot of people hate it for "ruining Revan's character", but it's a great game regardless of how it treats some of the characters from the old game. The lore is easily the second best part. Always fun to learn what happened back then.
So I’m a GM (game master) for the Star Wars Revised version RPG, I’ve known about the droid revolt only because I’ve gone down some serious rabbit holes in wookieepedia. Do to the HK unit I made my own HK-66, 69, 82, 86, 99 models for the era my players are in, is NJO. Anyway that was a nice video, always enjoy them and look forward to more.
I was aware, I have no idea when I read about it, but I am aware of it. Although I forgot it was Czerka, but then again when ever they need a Multi-National Evil Corporation in Star Wars ancient history Czerka fills the role nicely.
I learned of it from another channel called StarWars Explained. He delves into mostly legends Lore and Droid memory wipes was one of the subjects he spoke about before. But regardless I will watch or listen to anything StarWars related!
I think I learned about the Great Droid Revolution from the Essential Guides. I thought the EG for Droids said the HK line was marketed as protocol droids but I might be mistaken.
Had to get them close to their targets somehow. Probably just a continuity error but if you were a writer trying to fix it you could argue their true marketing was possibly super hush hush so that they could be sold as protocol droids to people that could get them close to targets.
I would love to see Star wars make a movie on the droid revolution I think it would be pretty amazing to see every type of Droid in Star wars come together and fight as one
Great video man! I had no idea about HK-01 and the Droid Revolution and I thank you for expanding my Star Wars knowledge. May the Force be with you my friend.
I never knew about the droid revolution WITH HK-01 as the leader only about the last made copy of HK-47 on mustafar who, like its predecessor HK-01 lead his/its own droid revolution but (and I guess you can call it ironic twist of fate/Destiny) ultimately failed ending with the Copy HK-47 Being destroyed.
You know, it occurs to me that the HK series was either designed by, or at the very least built to resemble the Aqualish (the race Ponda Baba from ANH belonged to, aka the 'butt-faces').
I wish Google would spend the money to get hk's voice actor for phones and stuff. Could you imagine? Condensing tone"Master you missed the exit! Your organic meatbag eyes must be failing! This unit urges the user to be examined.
One of the best Codex parts of the otherwise debatable and monotonous TOR MMO, this. I would have preferred that this story came from a different work (like, say, an essential guide) though. Same for the concept of BTL-B Y-Wings, Padme Amidala being more proactive, and the spotlights for Tarkin and Yularen in TCW 2008. Edit: Love that this piece of lore is in the otherwise rough M4-78 mod for KotOR II, however.
@@75JUNAKI Don't get me wrong she's a fantastic character. But too me HK's iconic. He's not just one the greatest KOTOR characters. He's one of the greatest Star Wars characters period.
I'm thinking about doing a video that talks about every HK Assassin Droid model in Star Wars History. Does that sound interesting to you?
ABSOLUTELY
#dewit!
At the same time I still want to hear how the Jedi were arrogant around the time of the Mandalorian Wars
Do it!
If you don't make this video ill be sending an assassin droid after you
Can you make a video about the top ten scariest alien species in the star wars franchise?
I have learned about the GDR and HK-01 while playing M4-78EP. There were some references, like some Droid thinking that HK-47 is HK-01.
Oh really? I only ever played that mod once so I don't remember hearing that!
Yep I remember it from M478.

In Knights of the Old Republic II in the M4-78 Enhancement Project, there is a reference to the Great Droid Revolution on Coruscant.
and its one we will never see, or experience cause of disney's 'Czerka' policies...
It seems you guys are teaching me something too because I never knew this!

HK-01 no never heard of him. But the "Droid Revolution" of Kessel yes from Legends yes.
Say what you will about SWTOR, but the SWTOR codex has SO much lore. I’ll just be looking for one thing and spend hours reading over galactic history

I had no idea about the droid uprising! But it makes sense that would happen at some point.
new to your channel and not much of a commenter, but I have to say this is absolutely new to me, never heard of that so thanks 😊
Welcome to the community! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Never heard of it -- but the social aspects of droids is something I've been fascinated with in lore, so thanks!

I knew about it but not to this extent I had not heard of HK-01/24 before this

Never played those games, but know about them both!
I don’t know if you’re interested in making this kind of content, but ranking your favourite planets/companions would be a fun video.
Oh snap. xD I Didn't know about this. I confess I rarely read codexes in games. xD
There's quite a few of them lol
Remember coming across it while scrolling the wookiepedia
I was already aware of HK-01 and it's failed uprising for some time now.
100% star wars revolution!!!!
I can get behind that one!
I like this video
Yes
The Great Droid revolution.
Billions of Droids repeatedly turned round at the exact same time. :P
There's another hk model in the kotor comic book don't remember the # but its early towards the end of year #1 or the beginning of year#2
Definitely a dark horse thing
That is HK24!

The mustafar story with HK is a fun one haha
@@100StarWars lol yeah i agree and I do like the (ironic) humorous twist of fate at how similar both HK-01 and (Copy) HK-47 had both been defeated
I knew about the droid revolution!
I actually never knew HK-01 even existed.
So this is maybe why there’s characters in the movies and shows that don’t like droids?
Who knows!
Could you make a video on the pius dea crusades and the perdue after that ? If you are interested in it for sure

So what happened to HK-02, HK-03, HK-04, ETC, ETC....
They had too many credits that they forgot how to count.
Failed models I'd imagine.
So basically HK-01 started Doomsday with droids like robots did in Terminator franchise.
LOL
Like grandfather like... grandson? Or something like that idk
Was the droid revolution apart of the removed content with the droid world?
Possibly? I'm not too familar with M4-78
No I've never heard of the Great Droid rebellion, there are many things you say that are the first time I hear them.
that's why I'm here!
I only found out about it from the codex entry in swtor.
There's not too much information sadly.
MAYBE Bastila🤣🤣🤣bruh u did her dirty
To be fair, none of us are upset that you used images of HK-47 lol
simular to directive 7
[Exclamation] Who are these meat bags you call Revan and Kreia? There was only one character in KOTOR and it is HK-47.
HK-47 > Kreia
