How the WEIRDEST Republic Droid Led to Clone Cyborgs, and Dark Troopers

The Republic and Imperial War droids all stem back to one odd creation, L8-L9. See how it evolved into the Z-X3 experimental droid trooper, then Dark Trooper project with Phase 0 being Clone Cyborgs, and eventually full Droids seen under Moff Gideon.

    I will never understand how that war droid at Asajj’s introduction somehow got dropped by investors when it obliterated half of the arena participants in seconds and it took a literal Dark Jedi some genuine effort and dodging to put it down.

    I think that Phase 0 Dark Trooper that is the cyborg clone could be what we saw in the first episode of the two-episode mid-season finale. The clone that had his CT number wiped and said he was a "believer"

    I loved the Dark Troopers from old Battlefront games. I really hope we can see the Cyber Clone Dark Troopers in the future, and hopefully with their Arc Castors from the 2005 Battlefront game.

    Man, I loved the L8-L9 droid in the original Clone Wars cartoon. Was so sad when it got smashed by Ventress.

    I love how you collectively cover all aspects of the topic you are reviewing, legends & “canon”.

    Excellent work as always. I wonder how things might have gone differently had Tagge had any idea what Ventress was

    Droid on Droid would be amazing to see in a show; maybe a separatist holdout or repurposed facility sacrificed to a canonized Rom Mok and a small task force of Dark Trooper droids. I don't think it'll happen with the new canon but Dark Trooper cyborg Cody could also be great to see.

    - A well directed mini series showcasing a select group of I.G. Droids history, riot, expansion, etc. would be fascinating to watch. Someone like Toa Frasier would be an excellent candidate for this.

    I remember as a kid having a book and record combo about that Droid uprising. It was voiced well.

    Android revolution post sequels would be a wild storyline. A signal that sends all the droids of the galaxy big and small into a haywire aggressive stance towards organics long enough for a fleet carrying newly constructed war droids to seize territory.

    That droid looks like it would fit the Rebel Alliance. Or at least the Resistance.

    You could've used your „What‘s up, MetaNerdz!“ right before the Dark Trooper punched Din Djarin.

    Would love to see a video about the various types of powered armor or on the PB-950 Patrol Boat would be cool. Just a suggestion.

    The L8-L9 was far from being a failure given how easily it eradicated the arenas fighters, with the one exception being Asajj who was not just a force wielder but a highly trained assassin that gave even the Jedi many problems. Sure, in a 1 on 1 duel the bot lost to her, but would she have survived against a whole squad? And with the feedback of the droid being vulnerable to being lifted by force users the droid could be further improved with feet capable of latching onto surfaces, not a hard solution to implement really. This bot would have been a battlefield powerhouse
