Here’s another piece of information on the Basilisk War Droid: If they ever fell in battle, Mandalorians would actually give their droids Viking-style funerals because they weren’t just treated like war droids, they were considered the noble steeds of Mandalorian warriors.
Just one thing I wish was mentioned with the Triple 0 and BT-1 is that Triple 0 had the mind of a serial killer copied on to him which is one of the things that made him so good at torture and information extraction
The infiltraitor Droid from Rebels comes to mind as one of the deadliest Droids that didn't make the list here. That was the Droid that found the rebel base.
2:50 I also think a lot of parents who served in Vietnam didn't want their kids to go through anything like that. I mean the stories my dad told me about him and his brother's time in the military back then I had no interest in joining, and he didn't want me to either lol
I was thinking of C3P-X, which I saw in one of the comics. He was almost a doppleganger for Anthony Daniels' favorite character, but for some tape on his faceplate.
Honestly my favorite deadly droid is one of those nuclear spy droids used in rebels by Thrawn. First off they are sneaky with creepy phase two, and blowing one up is to cause annihilation of everything within a mile.
I liked L-337 a LOT. I mean, not like Lando did. (Do NOT lend that man your mobile phone.) If you only take a superficial look at L-337, the droid will only ever be a bit character. If you look closer, you can see where the droid comes from, why it is the way it is. And how where it ends up casts a shadow across the Millennium Falcon through the whole franchise as Han's ship, giving the ship itself greater depth as a character in it's own right.
I do too, I see where the haters are coming from (wanting an escape from reality) she really shows how even with technological advancement things aren’t going to just turn into a Star Trek utopia. She shows how we will always have to fight for what we believe in and that that doesn’t always have a happy ending.
Is that the droid that was all about freedom, and freedom for droids. So they injected her consciousness into the Millennium Falcon, imprisoning her forever, in a kind of Hellish torture?
When I first saw 3PO, I thought you might go with Creepio, but no, you went with a different droid very similar to Creepio that I had never heard of. haha
Mr. Bones would be the best prolly one a the best bodyguards you could ask for. Vicious deadly and also very eccentric and eclectic, but super loyal and a good but kinda nutty friend. Triple 0 and BT-1 were down right scary because they dealt in hard facts. When Triple told you what he was gonna do to you (it wasn't to scare you) he would just do it!! \m/
C-3PX is dangerous because he’s HK-47 and IG-88 combined but not a clear assassin droid, even if you just want series the E-XD spy bot series is incredibly similar and if used correctly could be incredibly dangerous assassins and spies.
"Ah, better not shake hands then. May route a fatal shock through my palm. Old habits die hard and all that." - 0-0-0 (Triple 0) *and: Triple 0 to BT-1 "BT-1 Wake up. No, BT-1! No! You can't possibly do that. They are our masters. Also, who would clean up the mess?"
That beginning bit is why I subscribe; taking the lessons we should be learning from Star Wars and not only spelling them out but directly connecting them to the real world. Personally i think we're still a VERY long way off from actual autonomous combat units, a computer system is just way too liable to, say, mark a civilian apartment building as an enemy bunker, and I also don't think remote control is very practical due to the proliferation of E-warfare systems on the battlefield and the limitations that puts on combat effectiveness, but it's definitely true that militaries will be looking into increased automation in order to cut down on manpower requirements.
I didn't so much hate L3-37, but they made her activism comical and seemed like it was making fun of activists, even as the movie shows her pro-droid activism was actually very legitimate.
Is that the droid that was all about freedom, and freedom for droids. So they injected her conciousness into the Millenium Falcon, imprisoning her forever, in a kind of Hellish torture?
Combat droids are all nice and that, but I still would want a G0T0 as my personal Financier, a 3PO as the other friend of my REAL friend, an Astromech...
Great video, Allan! Really enjoyed your breakdown of the deadliest droids in the Star Wars galaxy. Your insights into how these droids parallel modern advancements in warfare were particularly thought-provoking. Corrections: Buzz Droids' Targeting Systems: You mentioned that Buzz Droids lacked friend-or-foe identification and would attack any nearby metal target indiscriminately, including friendly ships. However, in "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," Buzz Droids are shown specifically targeting enemy starfighters during the Battle of Coruscant. This suggests they do have targeting protocols to distinguish between friend and foe. L3-37's Demise: You stated that someone threw a detonator at L3-37, leading to her destruction and preventing a potential galaxy-wide droid rebellion. In "Solo: A Star Wars Story," L3-37 is actually shot by enemy forces while liberating droids on Kessel. She wasn't destroyed by an explosive device but was fatally damaged by blaster fire during the escape. Suggestions for Additional Deadly Droids: BX-Series Droid Commandos: These elite Separatist droids were more advanced than standard battle droids, with enhanced agility, tactical programming, and combat skills. They posed a significant threat to Clone Troopers and could operate independently or in squads for sabotage and assassination missions. SCORPIO: From "Star Wars: The Old Republic," SCORPIO is an advanced assassin droid with self-evolving AI. Her ability to adapt, learn, and manipulate made her a formidable opponent, challenging even the most powerful Force users. IG-RM Thug Droids: Featured in "Star Wars Rebels," these droids were used by criminal organizations like the Broken Horn Syndicate. They were strong, durable, and programmed for combat, making them deadly enforcers. Mandalorian Protector Droids: Specifically designed to guard Mandalorian vaults and secrets, these droids were equipped with advanced weaponry and beskar armor, making them incredibly tough to defeat. EV-Series Supervisor Droids (EV-9D9): While not frontline combatants, EV-9D9 units were notorious for their cruelty and efficiency in overseeing operations, including droid torture and reprogramming, which could indirectly lead to deadly outcomes. The Sith War Droids: Used during the Old Republic era, these droids were built for warfare against Jedi and Republic forces, often equipped with lightsaber-resistant armor and heavy weaponry. Again, thanks for the fantastic content! Your deep dives into Star Wars lore always make my day. Looking forward to your next video!
All jokes aside, Chopper has a quite terrifying kill count. According to someone from Reddit, he has 19 confirmed and direct kills, 20 estimated kills using explosives, and about 50k estimated indirect kills via sabotage. And the crazy part is that they're only calculating for the events of Rebels!
Aye yo just wanted to say I’ve been watching your content for a while bout 4 years big Star Wars fan watched the movies played the games but ! never purchased a book so I did purchase Heir to the Empire 3 months ago on my phone no audio but I’m still reading it good book * I hardly read books , oddly enough tho a friend randomly gave me a book some Star Wars trilogy from 1987 so hopefully I can nerd out a bit more reading the books
Heck, he doesn't NEED a blaster. Dude can take on anything from purpose-built battle droids to the Death Star with just his built-in gadgets and piloting/repair skills. He's ALREADY unstoppable!
The ones that should’ve/could’ve been on here include: - Chopper. - R2-D2. - DT Sentry Droids. - MagnaGuards. - and B3 Ultra Battle Droids. One of them from Legends could be the YVH-1, the droid that was specifically designed to antagonize and kill Yuuzhan Vong.
What about the Sentinel Droid/War Droid of KOTOR? They could also come equipped with personal energy shields and even get field upgrades for advanced targetting computers
For deadly, there is an extremely underrated one not mentioned. The lightsaber training droids in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Luke refers to it being incredibly dangerous if set to his training regimen. Remove safety protocols, give it a lightsaber, cover it's vital components in beskar plates and that is one dangerous mfer. For bonus badassery, give it a blaster in it's off hand.
More expansion on those cartoons that came on after Ben 10 . clone wars and rebels. But what about the cartoons that came on after he man Droids and Ewoks
I used to be a Combat Security Contractor and my company sent me and my partners to a few different conflict zones in my time and some of the things we did we considered artistic, like making almost impossible shots or similar type things but most would consider what we did as psychopathic. Moving into normal American law enforcement definitely meant changing my approach to solving a problem.
G0-T0 should make the top of the list. He didnt start as a droid but became one, created one of the deadliest crime organisations in the galaxy, influenced the politics of the old republic and fough off the Hutts alone. In addition we have his in advanced droid models which got a personal shield, torture equipment, heavy blasters, flame throwers, a droid disruptor and a proton bomb that is strong enough to blow up a ship like the Ebon-Hawk. Then of course we have his personal ship he created, one of the most advanced ships of the era.
You missed chopper I meant he literally blows up star ships and is a psychopath and doesn’t care about anyone getting hurt. Be probably has more kills than anyone in the rebel Aline aside from Luke
I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked L3-37 better than K2-SO. I really like the guy who voiced K2 in other things, but I just found K2 to be more irritating than any other droid.
What are those clumsy pit droids from Episode 1's podrace? I know you see them later on employed elsewhere in the galaxy. I can only imagine the accidental deaths or malfunctions after they "repaired" something.
Technically droid trig fighters & the world forges could count too. Also as an honorable mention, the hologram droid from force unleashed was quite strong.
Answer: Select grenades, sonic screamers, cluster rockets, and plasma charges. Mines are also effective, since many Jedi will run to meet you in hand to hand combat. Silly Jedi." HK-47 to the Exile on how to kill Jedi.
The deadliest droid is obviously Chopper. Dude is a sociopath.
And he's a war criminal.
I agree, especially when you’re chucking a bomb when you’re looking for a tracking device towards the planet surface
Don’t you mean Shopper? ;)
R2 D2 Is way deadlier.
@@thomasmuennich2680true, chopper is more likely to try to murder his own friends though

Nice pfp
And nobody talks about the amount of deaths caused by head injuries due to tripping on mouse droids…
Best comment 😂
B1 Battle Droids - Deadly in large numbers
HK-47 - Killed Jedi for a living
IG-88 - Hacked the 2nd Death Star
YVH Droids - Slaughtered Yuuzhan Vong
The YVHs are heroes. An made the Galaxy realize Battle Droids have their uses SOMETIMES
R2D2: 2.2 million. Facts. :)
what’s the story on ig hacking the second Death Star
Chopper is also one of the most dangerous droids, same with R2-D2. These 2 are an example of what happens if you don't wipe the memory of astromechs
What the fuck is a chopper? Is the from kotor or something?
@@Jiub_SN it's a droid from Rebels
@@Jiub_SNa droid
When a droid can access most ports and have neae full acess. Yeahhh
You forgot the most deadliest droid chopper. He has the highest kill count

I really liked her design. I even found images that helped me figure out how to build her in Lego minifig scale.
I do too, I see where the haters are coming from (wanting an escape from reality) she really shows how even with technological advancement things aren’t going to just turn into a Star Trek utopia. She shows how we will always have to fight for what we believe in and that that doesn’t always have a happy ending.

Mr. Allen, would you please answer this question who or what entity decides who can create or add to Star Wars canon?
You forgot Chopper and R2.
3:55 famous last words Alan. You obviously haven’t seen the Star Wars fandom enough if you can believe this
It’s really interesting to see what’s going on with droids right now in the comics. I bet Qira wasn’t expecting this.
When I first saw 3PO, I thought you might go with Creepio, but no, you went with a different droid very similar to Creepio that I had never heard of. haha
Chopper. He’s a little murder-bot. 😂
Mr. Bones would be the best prolly one a the best bodyguards you could ask for. Vicious deadly and also very eccentric and eclectic, but super loyal and a good but kinda nutty friend.
Triple 0 and BT-1 were down right scary because they dealt in hard facts. When Triple told you what he was gonna do to you (it wasn't to scare you) he would just do it!! \m/
HK-47 is the coolest, most hilarious Droid in the Star Wars universe if you ask me.
You snubbed Chopper. I'd watch my back, we know how he gets when he feels insulted.
Awesome points about the added brute display of war through Go-Pros.
I enjoy your videos especially the way you can relate them to current events
I for one will always treat my electronics with love and respect, just in case they take out anyone who wronged them later.
Very happy to see BT-1 and 0-0-0 here!
0:55 that changed with TV, I grew up seeing Vietnam footage all the time on TV
Day 217 PLEASE DO MORE TACTICS VIDEOS AND STRUCTURES LIKE THE CIS NAVY STRUCTURE AND RANKS
C-3PX is dangerous because he’s HK-47 and IG-88 combined but not a clear assassin droid, even if you just want series the E-XD spy bot series is incredibly similar and if used correctly could be incredibly dangerous assassins and spies.
Definitely missed off Chopper!
I'd like to see L-337 in a debate with Jabba's torture droid.
Just imagine these droids under Ultron's leadership. That is the end of all lives on Earth or even the entire galaxy there.
No mention of the YVH droids, which were strong enough to give even the OP jedi of the NJO and LotF era a run for their money
"Ah, better not shake hands then. May route a fatal shock through my palm. Old habits die hard and all that." - 0-0-0 (Triple 0)
*and: Triple 0 to BT-1 "BT-1 Wake up. No, BT-1! No! You can't possibly do that. They are our masters. Also, who would clean up the mess?"
You forgot Vader. He's more machine than man now
R2D2 is so deadly that he destroyed a entire planet lol
When did that happen?!
@@occam7382
Death star I think he meant.
My dad served in the Marines when the Vietnam War was going on. Yeah, he never wanted me to join the military 😂
Allen you are a revelation. Keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed this video!
Droids are property. Period.
I will not set my laptop "free".

Often in star wars the heros didn't come to free slaves but just did
Ive always hated that lancer bot thing. Wish it would drop out of canon and give us back something like the stealthx
000 is the Australian equivalent of 911... I guess Vader\Aphra did call him in emergencies to take care of problems.
I think an interesting video would be on how Vader felt about the empire cycling out the clones and did he have any say it.
If you made a channel just to talking about geopolitical issues I would watch/support it.
I feel as if you would do a good job of trying your best not to give bias opinions
Treize Khushrenada doesn't approve of this method of warfare.

I love bt 1. Hes what would happen if r2 woke up and chose violence.
I am unaware of Mr. Bones. What series is this character from?
Holy shit, GT finally acknowledged the 2003 series
I'm missing GO-TO on the list. That guy literally became a crime overlord
Chopper is already mentioned, what about C-3PX
The annihilator droid is one that was missed in this list for sure
9:15 Definitely some Deadpool vibes going on there, lol
$-LOM and EV-9D9 could both dismantle IG-88. Ruffi-VA and the Great Heap are also metallic monsters.
I find your lack of chopper disturbing.
What about Prince Xizor's human-replica assassin droid, Guri from Shadows of the Empire?
That was a wild intro 💀
000 is one of my favourite droids and you can’t stop me
