B1, “Boy! It’s a lot more fun when they’re not shooting back.”
Another B1, “I still can’t seem to hit anything.”
Grievous: *punches B1’s head off*
B1: Medic!
@@nursestoyland Dooku: "Grievous! Those battle droids are expensive. The jedi are never that harsh with their clones."

The CIS has the best army fr.
Had the best navy too. If it wasn't for Sidious, the CIS would have won.
@@Schmidty1701CIS has the coolest droid army and navy ever made in fiction - hands down.
Agreed
@@Benflyn For the CIS!!!
They had to be a credible threat and they were. If it weren't for Sidious we probably would have seen a threat like that of the Vong galaxy
I remember reading the Attack of the Clones visual guide as a kid and believing Super battle droids were just B1s wearing armor. The page on B2s mentioned the internals are just B1 parts so it made sense to me.
Yoooo I had the same book! And I thought the same thing
Legs and even chest maybe, they do use the same systems after all, but the arm would be completely independant
A new droid army threat would be cool to see in the future post sequels.
Well in the EU, the mini-series sequel to Legacy shows an assassin droid that has become completely independent and surprisingly well mannered, instead of being a sarcastic jerk like HK from SWTOR.
@@WilliamAGould we need more sarcastic jerks in SW.
I would love to see a droid uprising. We all know how poorly droids in general are treated in the Star Wars galaxy. Even before the Clone Wars there seemed to be a lot of prejudice towards droids even by supposed good guys like Obi Wan. But the Clone Wars scarred countless trillions of sapients across the galaxy and only strengthened their robopbobic rhetoric. Think about the many billions of people who lost their families to a battle droid. They may seem incompetent and silly to us the audience, but that’s only because we see them from the perspective of trained soldiers and space wizards. To the average Joe a battle droid would be a formidable opponent. It’s no wonder that Mos Eisley Cantina outright refuses service to droids. Maybe L3-37 was right all along.
@@WilliamAGould HK it is.
I have to be honest that the CIS has some of the best military units in all of Star Wars.
My man forgot to mention the IGBC IG-227 Hailfire-Class Droid Tank were Tax collectors for the InterGalatic banking Clan. Such a shame.
perfect for a bong and blitz thru work
In our RP-Server a user attacked a CIS world with an imperial fleet and got completely obliterated in the process. He underestimated the CIS, which had exploited it's full potential and is the most powerful fan tion in our RP. The attacker was a hardcore fan of the Empire and paid the price for it
What server
Please give the link
@@Blakeplaysgaming It's a private server.
As for the grenades, I believe, they were heavily underutilized by droids. Theoretically, with proper servos, they would be able to throw them at hundreds of meters, add a ballistic calculator and grenades would be flying into windows, trenches, around corners, into vehicles' weak spots and more.
Also, shields are expensive and armor is cheap: imagine, instead of expensive droidekas, CIS could have even more armored B2s, carrying E-web blasters, with energy packs integrated into their backs.
In general, the possibility of droids to have greater physical strength was rarely exploited: without power armor it is impossible to armor a human as well as a droid of similar size (with good servos). Same goes for the weapon: droids can carry much more. How about combining 3 E-5s together with the barrels in a triangular pattern, large common heatsink, battery and gas cartridge. Advantages: high rate of fire (when shooting sequentially) or really hard to deflect (by a lightsaber) pattern. Cons: too heavy to be used by average organic and older droid models.
I think even the design of most droids is fairly cliche and almost meant to be bad. Bipedal robots on our world are very rare and are unwieldy, unreliable, and unstable. There’s a reason why most drones are tracked or have four legs and it’s the exact same reason why tanks have treads and why mechs are impractical. Along with this, droids have intentionally bad personalities. Your average battle droid is incompetent, arrogant, and just plain stupid. Why would you ever want to program such personality characteristics into your soldiers? If you were being realistic you’d want to program personality characteristics you’d want in a soldier like resilience and unwavering loyalty.
@@therealspeedwagon1451 well, it depends, bipedal is not necessarily that bad, but you can do much better than humanoid.
How about such design:
2-2.5m high droid with long bird like legs and small, heavily armored 0.5*0.5 meter box-body (basically a smaller autonomous version of AT-RT). No articulation in the body (besides rotation of the upper part). Two long arms with heavy auto blasters (from droidekas) built in and ability to throw grenades really far.
With small, heavily armored body it would be extremely hard to kill, and with those long, complex legs it would be able to make 70+ km/h. Add a weapon stabilisation algorithms and it gonna be able to shoot on the move at 70km/h while being impervious to most hand-held weapons and to fast to be hit by the heavy ones.
a long range machine gun? no i see a lot of use there, lay down fire on enemies who are too far away to fire back, seems solid to me
The B1s are part of why I love the Phantom Menace. Phantom Menace is my favorite star wars film and I'm 30. Not ashamed. The originals and prequals are all awesome and I saw the originals more. But the first one is my favorite
1) Qui gon
2) Darth Maul
3 ) Original Jedi Council
4) Jarjar and Boss Nass
5) B1 battle droids / Droidekas
6) Newt Viceroy
7) Watto and the whole Podracing
8) young Obi wan
9) young anakin
10) Quigon (yes I said him twice)
A new playlist of all factions like this video would be definitely enjoyable
Its another compilation but its good, it means that time went for previous 35min smugler tales or next video will be a baner, good job keep it up
Ngl the unedited lap is the best part. So glad it wasnt changed at all! The engine sounds, pacing, its all so genuine and real looking compared to most highly edited racing shots.
I still prefer the armies in Supreme Commander+Forged Alliance. There's just something still human about them that makes me feel at ease leading and fighting them.
And they blabber on like Saturday morning cartoon minions, unlike the Alt-universe droids.
42:43 what happened to Gervious’s claimed lightsabers? Same with his hideouts?
Listening at my machining job ❤
Wait a minute... What about the techno union D-1 Battle droid Magna octoptara and the ball (can't remember the name). They were featured in the last season of TCW.
Otherwise, good video man. Keep It up
the clone army was planned yes but not planned very well in alot of factors by people who didn't know how to make a military
Keep up the amazing content brother!
Guess I know what I’m doing for the next 75 minutes and 2 seconds
32:03 arms partially disassembled so they could be, "re-armed"??!?? LMAO!
6:28 love seeing how AI uses so much stolen stuff that it starts copying watermarks but fails to replicate them causing jumbles of words.
This is more likely a filter applied to existing artwork, it looks like the one I saw many times, but as if it got some oil paint filter on it
@@Lunar0307 Nah man this is AI you can't tell me there's a droideka with 2 legs, a limp rifle, a single legged droid, the homing spider droid is just messed up, and the further back you look the more you notice how a lot of the "droids" seem to blend into each other. I could see there being an og image since a lot of AI art is just stolen images re-drawn but this is 100% an AI image.
@@wintereclipse3263 not sure if my other comment got deleted, but you can look up grievous legion art and you will find this image but without the filter
@@wintereclipse3263it isn’t AI
🫡Can you please give us a video on the mystery as to why Ventress and maul never came into contact either directly or indirectly within canon or legends. You would think that they would have seeing how they are dathormarians and have close ties with towzin and Savage oppress and doku. Very strange
Z-X3 of droid world, was trying to start an uprising against humans and human loving droids. One of my first scratch records
Oh, Geetsly, good you're alive. We hadn't gotten a video out since last Sunday so I feared the worst. lol.
Although, I still fear this long gap could be a sign that were finally at the point where were running out of Star Wars stuff to talk about. I know this channel has made over 1300 videos on Star Wars for the last 8 years, but given how much lore there is to discuss I at least assumed we'd hit over 2000 in like 2 to 3 years, before we finally got to the point where we'd be scrapping the bottom of the barrel. XD.
Also, 28:52-29:02: Better zoom functions would have cost extra, giving them the binoculars was probably cheaper.
Also, also, 47:53-48:02: Oh that's how they destroyed those Republic Walkers in the 2003 micro series. I just thought those lancers were really strong and hard to peirce those AT-TEs. Okay, now I gotta know, if a living creature got hit by them would they survive? Not asking for any particular reason, certainly not because I wrote a crossover fanfic where I had some Pokemon, Pooh Bear and his friends, and others get knocked around by those weapons and still be fine for the most part. Lmao.
Wake up dear Geetsly just drop another lore video 🎉
Bro, idk what you do to be able/willing to pump out these hour+ amazing videos, but PLEAASSEE keep it up! Meth or Adderall can be beneficial see everyone.... Lmao jkjk Thanks for the hard work!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is my cocaine
so real
The sad part about the droid army was that, barring a few exceptions, every droid model acted the same way as any other droid of that model.
If a person knew how to take out one droid of a model without a problem, that person could take out 99% of the same droids, in the same situation, without a problem.
Even a small change to this, such as adding variable firing rates to their weapons would have been a game changer because would have made it a lot harder for Jedi to dodge or deflect their blaster fire.
Some of these illustrations look super weird. Like, uncanny valley weird. Did you use AI for those?
how about a DECILLION battle droids. Think of the numbers man!
I've been looking forward to this
Let's go!! Star wars best arc will always be the clone wars
Awesome video
SWEET!!!
I mean, if you really think about it battle droids kind of R equipment like whether or not they have sentience, they are manufactured for the purpose of battle and therefore equipment.
Hay, love your vídeos! And could you analyse the starwars: hanters (Phone game) caracters, and how they fit in the universe

OK AN HOUR?!
Cool
Are some of the images from RaW?
You actively look for reasons to use the terms “all told,” and “roughshod”
Thank you ❤
1 min gang
I do have to say star wars does a great job of almost naming evrything and giving it its own little piece of lore not evry franchise does this at times you hear but then the captain shot him with his froahgun or something like that 😂 and youre just being there like what just happend 😂
Bae, wake up there’s a new Geetsly…oh ya she joined the separatists 😢
👍
Yeah, over an hour of Droid Army lore 👍
Ruune Hako: "Droids don't talk back!"
Tactical Droids: Shoot incompetent superiors when they disagree with them or leave them behind (Wat Tambor knows this feeling).
Super Tactical Droids: Smoke superiors (King Rash of Onderon can relate).
DSD1: Refuses suicidal orders from meatbag superiors - Still blow themselves up when they feel like owning some meatbags.
B1s: Watch Geetsly's video about 5 cheeky B1s.
Always considered them similar to ants when i was a kid.
So so so many of them, pop up everywhere, take apart things thousands of times their size in minutes.
Im so glad they humanised droids even if a fractional amount in comparison to the clones in the clone wars series, rest in peace that one commander who got slaughtered seconds after promotion
Love from a CoreysDatapad and Vaush fan!
Droids are objects, not people.
Long live the Confederacy
Love the Separatists
Sorry, Quintillion is a Million Quadrillions? What kind of Primary/Middle School math is that?
Quintillion is a thousand Quadrillions, three more zeros, thats all
You don't need a million millions to reach a billion
A million millions would be a trillion
A million Quadrillions would be a Sextillion (at that point it stops sounding like words)
But yeah, Child math, it's not right at all
Is it just me or does the narrator repeat himself a lot? 🤔 he sounds like me trying to BS a 10 page paper for class
Might just be because the name of weapons, droid models and additional facts contain the same words in different combinations
@@IDemigaming87 yeah maybe that’s it
