Honorable mention: The droids that got slaughtered by a very unhappy Anakin on Cad Bane’s cruiser when they thought they were safe in the corridor they were at. “You said we’d be safe back here!” “Come on! There’s three of us and only one of them!” “...It won’t matter...” That’s just sad. :(

ah yes, the droids who are actually lifelike and who can speak and express emotions are "just droids," whereas the oval who can only beep and roll around on two pads deserves to live

Update 1.1: - Corrected which episode this actually happens in. - Updated the localization files
You can easily answer the question, whwther it was actually cruel to slaughter those battle droids, by comparing it to other droids we came to love. R2D2 is a class 2 Droid, C3P0 is a class 3 one and 1G-16 from the Mandalorian was a class 4 assassin Droid - the same class like battle droids. I think that as soon as a personality develops and the Droid is capable of socializing with other beings it should be treated as a second class being at least
Droid one: do you ever wonder why we're here? Droid Two: I don't know, I guess that's one of lifes greatest mysteries.. Droid One:..... Droid Two:...... Droid One: I meant do you wonder why we're here in the middle of a crashed ship in the middle of no where. I signed up to kick butt alongside General Grievous
Even after the Clone Wars ended, the Droids couldn't catch a break. That poor captain and his squad brutally gunned down by Stormtroopers for just approaching them in peace and greeting them, the troopers leaving the last one to run in fear, getting themselves a laugh as an AT-AT gets dropped on the poor retreating droid.
yah GiantCondor I always felt like if were enemy of the Empire in the Star Wars Universe that is how I would die get crushed by massive foot pad of an AT-AT. Such a terrible gruesome way to go that only pyscho paths would get amusement out of regardless of being a droid or meat bag.
fun fact: The hailfire droids were made by the banking clan and were actually used to collect taxes (they rented them to the CIS) imagine: You're at home, you're cracking a cold one, you hear something outside, the hailfire droid rolles up, *"KNOCK KNOCK IT'S TIME TO PAY YOUR TAXES!"*
Droid 1: This is a lot more fun when they aren’t shooting back! Droid 2: I still can’t seem to hit anything. Little did they know that this would become the standard under the Empire.
Don't forget. Before he killed 224, Yoda killed two other droids back in their tank after trying to run for their lives! Sometimes I think the jedi do this just for fun.
Let’s be real, the B1 Battledroids had more character than most main characters in media. Can we get an F in the chat for Rodger Rodgers that lost their lives in vain?
It's a shame how Battle Droids are greatly ignored by the fans in favor of the clones. Imagine if the Bad Batch would have been about a group of sentient separatist droids trying to survive the Rise of the Empire
The terrible thing that 2008 clone wars did is the sentiment that clones can do no wrong and are treated by the fans like puppies and not like the soldiers that wiped out the separatists and crushed any opposition with brutal efficiency against the empire. There is a reason imperial stormtroopers are feared and the clones were a big reason why.

Mace has always been a focused motherfucker with a dark streak about him. His policy, at least in the frontline battles, would definitely & simply be 'see droid, shoots/cuts droid'. Hearing whatever they have to say is secondary to the degree of having next to no importance.
If a droid(s) honestly wanted to switch sides from the Seps to the Republic or just want to hangout with someone or a party that respected the droid(s), I help them in a heartbeat. Heck! If I were in the Star Wars galaxy right now, I'd be willing to try and give any B-1 battle droid I came across a better life. To be honest, I'd rather chill with droids & people who accept droids as people rather than deal with those who would treat droids or any other type of benevolent robot like trash. As Optimus Prime once said, "Freedom is the right if all sentient beings."
Which is why Anakin for most part, is a piece of shit. He's a tinkerer himself so he definitely knows how sentient droids can be, yet he's among the most trigger-happy when it comes to dealing with droids.
Imagine knowing that the average KD ratio of the enemy is 1000-1 and being forcefully sent in and have your commanders ignore and smash you all the time
Well when it comes to B1 Droids I'm on the same page with Qui Gon: "The ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent." Droids that transcended their programming though seem to have a free will, so there seems to be something to consider...
Geetslys: makes a video about horrific war crimes and droid slavery in Star Wars. Me: aren’t they a made up robot in a made up universe? Everyone else: “He’s not a Separatist sympathizer, get him!”
I've started to feel for these droids. I recently downloaded the original Battlefront 2 and playing through it. Anyone ever feel the terror when you see the enemy team's hero heading straight for you when you're just a regular infantry shmuck?
I never liked how the clone wars treated battle droids. They made them really dumb. But I know they are a bit stupid but it’s a bit much. But I hate how rebels treated stormtroopers. They treated them like stupid idiots who can’t do anything. It’s frustrating and forced
The good side always treated the bad side like moronic idiots, rebels to stormtroopers, clones to droids, resistance to First Order stormtroopers, Obi-Wan to the stormtrooper on Tattooine and Rey to the First Order stormtrooper in the seating chamber. WHY.
comic relief. the show's got to appeal to kids somehow, can't all be dark and dreary. and i can't imagine it'd feel great if the enemies people were killing in a literal war were acting like how any real casualty in a war would act. At least for the droids, anyway, i never watched Rebels. I do know Stormtroopers get done dirty though, supposedly the best of the best and Vader's elite force.
Naw it just sounds like a republican trying to explain why Jan 6th was a good thing. If you ignore 70% of the facts you can make the remaining 30% support just about anything.
I am a huge General Grievous nerd and became a fan of the separatists in general. Really love the droids, so it is nice to see more videos about em!. I felt sorry for the droid that was tired and Grievous took him out, poor droid was tired.
I always liked battle droids as units. They could also make great workers for other circumstances and maybe even as friendly non-combatants. It would be kinda cool having one and watching them get destroyed is just... disappointing to say the least
I'll never forget the conversation a couple of droids had on the malevolence Droid 1: "Blast him, there's three of us and one of him!" Droid 2: "It won't matter"
with number 4 1: the droid said "we could surrender" as a suggestion to his supiroir, so they didnt surrender 2: one droid said it to the other, as the only signal, so in the midst of battle or you know the mids of getting shot by tanls windu probably didnt hear it. + there were no other sign of surrender, like throwing weapons away and hands in the air, and that were only the 2 droids in the command post, the 4 tanks still shot at windu. so i think if this was film from that angle, (like in the show) every court would say that windu is at least not doing a war crime, sure he could choose not to shoot at these 2 droids and continue with the tanks, but how often do droids even surrender
My theory for why the Jedi didn't give droids the same feelings as their own clones is that they couldn't feel them through the force. From day one, the Jedi were taught the Force came from life- it surrounds us, penetrates us, binds us. They felt their feelings, their ideals and ideas. To them, Force=life. they couldn't sense that from droids- only their intentions. Perhaps some Jedi felt that the droids were a mocking of life- they certainly seemed alive, but they didn't have the Force. An uncanny valley to them. Perhaps that's why they were so ready to use lightsabers against their clones when Order 66 came- it stripped them of their thoughts and feelings, leaving only their intentions, just like droids. Of course, some Jedi form bonds with droids- Anakin and R2-D2, for example. Just my thoughts.
For one of my Jedi characters that I'm writing, he meets a Commando droid, and fully expects for the droid to be all murder-hoboy like the rest, and is pleasantly surprised when instead he chooses to surrender- saving his own droids and a ton of clone lives. This gives him an mini-existential crisis, because he just thought all droids obeyed their programing. a while later, and the war's over, the same droid goes out and saves another former Jedi, who was close friends with the first Jedi, from the Empire, because he was in debt to the Jedi- he had saved their life, they had saved his, countless times.
At 8:23, you forgot the other droids with 224 running away from Yoda, one of them even said "Run for *IIIIT--"* while running for his life, and his companion accepted his fate
Two of their most memorable droid deaths are from Solo: A Star Wars Film and Rogue One. Truly tragic, and only in Solo is "she" shown even the briefest acknowledgement. 😔
Disney turned the innocuous Falcon computer into an SJW joke of a droid. "Memorable" in that it's a memory we'd like to forget. Nobody wanted that, nobody asked for it.
Hi, I'm that guy. So tactically, killing a B1 Battle Droid, even when surrendered, made sense because they had the ability to discretely call for reinforcements at any time via the communication components that are in their head. While I do agree that killing them when surrendering is a dick move, we wouldn't know for sure if they'd activate this even against their own will. Their design made them disposable and didn't account for the fact that they'd eventually achieve the "droid sentience" that many droid characters are known for. One could say that they could have just disabled this piece of hardware and taken them in then, but the amount of time that would take is plenty of time to call for reinforcements, a chance the Republic, especially in more covert operations, couldn't risk. Unfortunately, B1's were cursed with sentience while ultimately betrayed by their own bodies. It's even sadder now that I think about it. It'd be like if your body involuntarily exploded if you got captured.
Just forgets about the thousands of clones the droids slaughter during the war. And that scene from season 1 where a clone commander and Jedi are surrounded by droids and the droids gun them down without providing the chance to surrender
Another tragic droid tale is the one airing out his grievances about his job being so bad in the army Only for Kenobi to lock him in a cell to lose power and rust to death... Tragic
3 last words of people who did not deserve to die: 3: "I still can't seem to hit anything." -Ro-gr 2312 2: "oh no, its him!" -Ro-gr 7421 1: "but I, just got promoted." -Ro-gr 9042
I know this is random but… I love how Freemakers Adventures has one of their main characters be a b1 battle droid! I feel bad for Roger getting sliced in half a lot in his clone wars battle backstories
He knew in another life and in another body they could've been free, to do as they please and even be good "people". But in front of him in the war were people of metal with no true free will of their own. To kill was to live, and to some that was good; Skywalker could not let his dead dreams fog his duty to The Republic. The droids were a loss, a sad one. And too rebel against programming was to die. Soon enough, the "mercy slaughters" he brought to droid armies, the countless mechanical cries and wails would forever fester in the blackening and bleeding heart of Anakin Skywalker...
If you feel that the Jedi should recognize droids as "life" or even a part of the living force, answer me this. If you manufactured an indefinite amount of fully sentient droids (ones not unlike the IG-88 series) , is there ANY possibility/chance that one could be built/born and come out force-sensitive? Are there ANY force-sensitive droids in the Star Wars extended universe? Legends or otherwise? Has there ever been a droid Jedi or Sith who could command the force in the same manner as any other force sensitive "meatbag"???
Force sensitives are rare in the SWU, and there are entire races unable to become Force sensitive. The potential capacity to utilize the force does not equal life.
I remember watching somewhere that there were force sensitive droids or somewhat sensitive in Kotor setting they we're experimental but they did exist and some used lightsabers
People call stormtroopers getting killed tragic, but I always felt bad for the b1s. Especially for the ones pleading for their lives even when they’re not technically alive.
They aren't alive in the strictest sense because life just refers to the existence of biological processes and death to the cessation of those processes. That said, the droids are clearly sapient, so I feel it's an academic distinction when discussing their existence and right to exist; The existence of a sapient robot would be equally as valuable as the existence of a sapient organic being.

If a droid(s) honestly wanted to switch sides from the Seps to the Republic or just want to hangout with someone or a party that respected the droid(s), I help them in a heartbeat. Heck! If I were in the Star Wars galaxy right now, I'd be willing to try and give any B-1 battle droid I came across a better life.
To be honest, I'd rather chill with droids & people who accept droids as people rather than deal with those who would treat droids or any other type of benevolent robot like trash.
As Optimus Prime once said, "Freedom is the right if all sentient beings."
Which is why Anakin for most part, is a piece of shit. He's a tinkerer himself so he definitely knows how sentient droids can be, yet he's among the most trigger-happy when it comes to dealing with droids.

And what better advice than from a sentient droid himself forced to war. Optimus the Goat prime. Well said random commenter

"I'm not the commander!! He's the commander!"

"Guess I'm the commander now..."
*pew pew*
Imagine knowing that the average KD ratio of the enemy is 1000-1 and being forcefully sent in and have your commanders ignore and smash you all the time
*My crush asks me out*
Me: Impossible! The probability of that is 10,003 to 1.
And yet it happened!
@@geetslys lol
You said it yourself, "the droids are unable to disobey their orders and even when being nice still are trying to kill you".
Imagine if the Droid Planet from TSL still existed in canon, it could provide a nice sanctuary for any surviving Battledroids.
Well when it comes to B1 Droids I'm on the same page with Qui Gon: "The ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent." Droids that transcended their programming though seem to have a free will, so there seems to be something to consider...
"But. I. Just. Got. Pro-... (fading) moted."
Geetslys: makes a video about horrific war crimes and droid slavery in Star Wars.
Me: aren’t they a made up robot in a made up universe?
Everyone else: “He’s not a Separatist sympathizer, get him!”
Good clankas follows roger roger.
A moment of silence for all of those clankers who's lives were robbed from them by the evil wrath of the republic. May their processors rest in peace
Nice to see the droids getting some love, I’m sick of how unappreciated the CIS really were.
*glares*
Still their lives were better then fully sentient turrets in Aperture facility.
True and the sentient companion cubes
I still tear up thinking of the song they played at the end of Portal 2

I've started to feel for these droids. I recently downloaded the original Battlefront 2 and playing through it. Anyone ever feel the terror when you see the enemy team's hero heading straight for you when you're just a regular infantry shmuck?
I never liked how the clone wars treated battle droids. They made them really dumb.
But I know they are a bit stupid but it’s a bit much.
But I hate how rebels treated stormtroopers. They treated them like stupid idiots who can’t do anything. It’s frustrating and forced
The good side always treated the bad side like moronic idiots, rebels to stormtroopers, clones to droids, resistance to First Order stormtroopers, Obi-Wan to the stormtrooper on Tattooine and Rey to the First Order stormtrooper in the seating chamber. WHY.
comic relief. the show's got to appeal to kids somehow, can't all be dark and dreary. and i can't imagine it'd feel great if the enemies people were killing in a literal war were acting like how any real casualty in a war would act. At least for the droids, anyway, i never watched Rebels. I do know Stormtroopers get done dirty though, supposedly the best of the best and Vader's elite force.
This is hilarious and sad at the same time, I know you're kidding but Yoda was surrounded by multiple tanks at that time xD
This almost feels like a late April fools video
Naw it just sounds like a republican trying to explain why Jan 6th was a good thing. If you ignore 70% of the facts you can make the remaining 30% support just about anything.
@@jamesjellis based
I am a huge General Grievous nerd and became a fan of the separatists in general. Really love the droids, so it is nice to see more videos about em!.
I felt sorry for the droid that was tired and Grievous took him out, poor droid was tired.
I always liked battle droids as units. They could also make great workers for other circumstances and maybe even as friendly non-combatants. It would be kinda cool having one and watching them get destroyed is just... disappointing to say the least
I'll never forget the conversation a couple of droids had on the malevolence
Droid 1: "Blast him, there's three of us and one of him!"
Droid 2: "It won't matter"
B1s had more personality and were far more relatable than most the main characters of the Sequel Trilogy.
with number 4
1: the droid said "we could surrender" as a suggestion to his supiroir, so they didnt surrender
2: one droid said it to the other, as the only signal, so in the midst of battle or you know the mids of getting shot by tanls windu probably didnt hear it. + there were no other sign of surrender, like throwing weapons away and hands in the air, and that were only the 2 droids in the command post, the 4 tanks still shot at windu. so i think if this was film from that angle, (like in the show) every court would say that windu is at least not doing a war crime, sure he could choose not to shoot at these 2 droids and continue with the tanks, but how often do droids even surrender
Who still remembers the poor B1 who was thrown from a ship in the initial sequence of episode III, just before the *'another happy landing'* ?
My theory for why the Jedi didn't give droids the same feelings as their own clones is that they couldn't feel them through the force. From day one, the Jedi were taught the Force came from life- it surrounds us, penetrates us, binds us. They felt their feelings, their ideals and ideas. To them, Force=life. they couldn't sense that from droids- only their intentions. Perhaps some Jedi felt that the droids were a mocking of life- they certainly seemed alive, but they didn't have the Force. An uncanny valley to them.
Perhaps that's why they were so ready to use lightsabers against their clones when Order 66 came- it stripped them of their thoughts and feelings, leaving only their intentions, just like droids.
Of course, some Jedi form bonds with droids- Anakin and R2-D2, for example. Just my thoughts.
For one of my Jedi characters that I'm writing, he meets a Commando droid, and fully expects for the droid to be all murder-hoboy like the rest, and is pleasantly surprised when instead he chooses to surrender- saving his own droids and a ton of clone lives. This gives him an mini-existential crisis, because he just thought all droids obeyed their programing. a while later, and the war's over, the same droid goes out and saves another former Jedi, who was close friends with the first Jedi, from the Empire, because he was in debt to the Jedi- he had saved their life, they had saved his, countless times.
I didn't see any clones next to Windu when he asked for the droids to surrender.
No wonder we got L3-37 in Solo. She watched the entire Clone Wars TV series, and saw this banthapoodoo for herself...
The droids always made me laugh as a little kid watching the Clone Wars lol, never felt sorry
You Monster!
@@nobleman9393 little kid remember, kids crush bugs without a second thought 😅
Comic relief!
@@ObiTheHomie that's exactly how Majin Buu/Kid Buu mind worked. Destruction and killing wasn't "evil" to him. It was all a fun and dangerous game...
At 8:23, you forgot the other droids with 224 running away from Yoda, one of them even said "Run for *IIIIT--"* while running for his life, and his companion accepted his fate
Two of their most memorable droid deaths are from Solo: A Star Wars Film and Rogue One. Truly tragic, and only in Solo is "she" shown even the briefest acknowledgement. 😔
Disney turned the innocuous Falcon computer into an SJW joke of a droid. "Memorable" in that it's a memory we'd like to forget. Nobody wanted that, nobody asked for it.
When you actually put yourself in the droids' side, it's sad watching them die, or get deactivated
It's enough to make a grown droid cry ;(
Indeed OOM-8, indeed
To emotional memory wipe time
Then there was one when cad bane stole the holocron
"There are 3 of us and one of them"
"It won't matter"
"But I just- got- promoted!"
Did that one get to anyone else?
What got me was the AAT droid in the back of the scene reaching for him
Hi, I'm that guy.
So tactically, killing a B1 Battle Droid, even when surrendered, made sense because they had the ability to discretely call for reinforcements at any time via the communication components that are in their head. While I do agree that killing them when surrendering is a dick move, we wouldn't know for sure if they'd activate this even against their own will. Their design made them disposable and didn't account for the fact that they'd eventually achieve the "droid sentience" that many droid characters are known for.
One could say that they could have just disabled this piece of hardware and taken them in then, but the amount of time that would take is plenty of time to call for reinforcements, a chance the Republic, especially in more covert operations, couldn't risk. Unfortunately, B1's were cursed with sentience while ultimately betrayed by their own bodies. It's even sadder now that I think about it. It'd be like if your body involuntarily exploded if you got captured.
in this video
droid good and clones bad
thats it
They’re shrimps. We are platypuses. The platypus eats the shrimp. We survive.
If I was in the Clone Wars era, I would go to past battlefields and try to repair as many droids as I could
Are we gonna talk about how Anakin and mundi had a competition of who could kill the most droids
Seems like a ref to Lotr
I like how they gave the battle droids a personality instead of the usual no soul most robots in movies and shows have
Just forgets about the thousands of clones the droids slaughter during the war. And that scene from season 1 where a clone commander and Jedi are surrounded by droids and the droids gun them down without providing the chance to surrender
Another tragic droid tale is the one airing out his grievances about his job being so bad in the army
Only for Kenobi to lock him in a cell to lose power and rust to death...
Tragic
Someone who finally understands the battle droids
this made me real sad watching all those droids die they didn’t deserve it man I feel. For them
Droids really got the short emd of the stick. Esspecially the commanders
I'm sad no mentioned the two engineer droids that only had the time to shout out "We're just engineers!" Before being killed.
Can't violate the Geneva protocol if it doesn't exist in your galaxy.
HK-47 approves of you using the words "organic meatbags"
3 last words of people who did not deserve to die:
3: "I still can't seem to hit anything."
-Ro-gr 2312
2: "oh no, its him!"
-Ro-gr 7421
1: "but I, just got promoted."
-Ro-gr 9042
9:30Ah yes Generation Tech HUMANITY FIRST
I know this is random but… I love how Freemakers Adventures has one of their main characters be a b1 battle droid! I feel bad for Roger getting sliced in half a lot in his clone wars battle backstories
Don't forget the part where 224's tank crew tried running but got reeled back in and disintegrated by Yoda.
It's even more disturbing that most droids can feel pain
There are heroes on both sides
And neither side was good
Pretty tragic tbt
You want real depressing shit? Let me introduce you to Warhammer 40k. Complete utter misery. Everyone is evil.
Indeed
for the Jedi, if you don't have a Force print, you don't deserve Jedi mercy.
Ahhhh the Nostalgia!!!!! Thank you for this video
I wish there were more rogue droids in the movies and shows, right now the only one we have is L3-37 if I'm correct
Yet another thing that drove anakin to the dark side: he saw droids as people
He knew in another life and in another body they could've been free, to do as they please and even be good "people". But in front of him in the war were people of metal with no true free will of their own. To kill was to live, and to some that was good; Skywalker could not let his dead dreams fog his duty to The Republic. The droids were a loss, a sad one. And too rebel against programming was to die. Soon enough, the "mercy slaughters" he brought to droid armies, the countless mechanical cries and wails would forever fester in the blackening and bleeding heart of Anakin Skywalker...
@@blackshogun272 dear God, you... you made me cry... NAHH fuck the clankers.
@@lightrider-hu2xl wth is wrong with you????do you feel no empathy or sympathy??
Looks like we have ourselves a clanker enthusiast
If you feel that the Jedi should recognize droids as "life" or even a part of the living force, answer me this.
If you manufactured an indefinite amount of fully sentient droids (ones not unlike the IG-88 series) , is there ANY possibility/chance that one could be built/born and come out force-sensitive?
Are there ANY force-sensitive droids in the Star Wars extended universe? Legends or otherwise?
Has there ever been a droid Jedi or Sith who could command the force in the same manner as any other force sensitive "meatbag"???
Force sensitives are rare in the SWU, and there are entire races unable to become Force sensitive. The potential capacity to utilize the force does not equal life.
force is life force, droid is robot
put 2 and 2 together
no
there are not
I remember watching somewhere that there were force sensitive droids or somewhat sensitive in Kotor setting they we're experimental but they did exist and some used lightsabers
Republic be like:
Geneva convention?
More like Geneva suggestion.
Finally someone who understands how I felt...
4:13 “They knew they were about to die and they clearly didn’t want to.”
Bro that hit hard. Rip B1s.
"it could be better if we just surrendered" *doesn't surrender*
"Not the Face! Not the face!"
I legit cried a bit in that episode
yeah I was lookin for this comment
You say will be safe back here come on their are only three of us I know a one of him it won't matter 🤣😭
The one Droid death that eas truly sad was that one who complimented Kenobi deflecting a bolt without looking and was brutally bashed by Grievous
People call stormtroopers getting killed tragic, but I always felt bad for the b1s. Especially for the ones pleading for their lives even when they’re not technically alive.
Exactly they are not alive. How can they be "killed"?
They are objects.
@@0816M3RC objects asking for mercy
@@neofulcrum5013 Because they have self-preservation protocols. They aren't actually alive.
They aren't alive in the strictest sense because life just refers to the existence of biological processes and death to the cessation of those processes. That said, the droids are clearly sapient, so I feel it's an academic distinction when discussing their existence and right to exist; The existence of a sapient robot would be equally as valuable as the existence of a sapient organic being.
@@syphonfillter try telling that to the rest of the fandom lol
I've always preferred the battle droids to the clones and it always make me sad whenever I see them die
