Well, seeing them attacking in large numbers is quite likely the Yuuzhan Vong would have problems. A platoon of B2 super battle droids known as the Orange Panthacs were deployed to the planet Mantessa to combat the Fire Breathers of the Yuuzhan Vong. So they have a chance to win

Destroy a hundred B1s, there's a thousand more to replace them. These guys may be fodder for the most part, but they are cost-effective and reliable enough for any job. The CIS certainly made great use of all the B1 was capable of with all the different variants and roles of the B1s there were. Them developing personalities and sentience during the Clone Wars was a nice touch too, giving them much more character than just mindless automotons, even if it didn't last long with their production being shut down after the Clone Wars ended and most B1s being shut down. But the amount reactivated warms my heart, knowing that so many still live long after the war ended.

@@nomercyinc6783Just because they're made of metal doesn't mean they're not self-aware (and many Droids in Star Wars show a surprising amount of self-awareness, even those that don't speak basic or look humanoid). The tragedy of the B1s is that they weren't intended to be self-aware and through what is more or less spaghetti code, they became aware, and they're still treated as disposable, replaceable, and without any sort of valid experiences. The Clones, too, are tragic because they are more easily humanized, their individuality and self-expression encouraged by some of the same people they would be (through orders or chips) forced to kill, and for the thing they fought so hard to protect be taken out because of the Emperor and his cronies. Both of these combatants had the ability to live- to experience and appreciate the act of existing- stripped away from them. Both were discarded as soon as they were useful, seen as little more than numbers on a board.

It’s literally a numbers game for the B1.

In one episode of the Clone Wars cartoon, there was an episode in which the republic asked for a loan from a banking clan and they raised the interest from 10 to 25 percent. But without an additional army of clones it would be very difficult. They would have to announce mobilization. And one of the representatives of the banking clan said that he had just given a loan to the Confederacy of Independent Systems under the same conditions (we know that they are not, CIS not pay any %) for 3 million battle droids. After which one of the senators said that they were wrecked. Of course, this was probably the middle of the war and 3 million would have meant a breakthrough and superiority CIS forces. So it makes sense.

Maybe "quadrillion battle droids" didn't literally mean B1 series battle droids but rather ALL the droids used for battle. DSDs, B2s, OG9s, the *entire* arsenal.

Droids are my absolute favorite thing about Star Wars. Not the Jedi, Sith, or even the force, but the Droids and the technology of the universe.

B1s are one of my favorite rank-and-file enemy footsoldiers in fiction. I also like how they have different variants.

2:02 Slight whoops here. It wasn’t Ki-Adi’s master, it was Plo Koon’s master.

Imagine you are a GAR soldier, or a conscript, or even PDF trooper on some Mid Rim dirtball. You aren't clone, but you have been trained well and you have all the gear you need to keep that unnamed Mid Rim planet well in Republic hands. All is good, until Separatists decide they need that world, too. First some organic troopers come, maybe Koorivans or even local seppie sympathisers. They are trained, like you, but you have dug in, and they are not, so you repell them easily enough. Then Separatists deploy B1 battle droids. Those are even easier to fight against, they are walking openly, don't care to take cover and you cut them down. Then you learn those were just a recon... and Separatists now know, where your gun emplacements and strong points are. Now there are magnitudes more B1 battle droids, and they are supported by tanks, atrillery, aerospace assets and droid walkers. And the last thing you hear before your positions are overrun and your friends are dead is "ROGER ROGER" and discharge of E-5 blaster rifle...

B1 battle droids, or Clankers as the clones call them

Why am I only now getting a notification for this?! This video has been up for 5 days?

Dude did his research, props! 🧠 👍

I know that this show is in a grey area of canon. But I hope you have mentioned R0-GR aka Roger from The Freemaker Adventures. The Freemakers were a family of scavengers/mechanics who found Roger during one of their scavenging trips before the series began. I don't want to spoil the show for anyone who hasn't seen it. They join the rebellion somewhere in between episodes 5 and 6. And years later Roger was seen on the resistance base at D'Qar telling war stories as well as unique encounters during the imperial era.

Great video!

HK-47 would disagree.

Occasionally I will still hear someone at work respond with a Roger Roger… Easy to recognize the prequel fans!

We only ever saw smaller than a quarter of what the droid army was. During the Clone Wars. So we don't even truly know the actual number. Imma keep believing it was Quadrillion but was too much for Palpatine so it remained on standby.

I like the video and especially agree with the quantity. Often in such universes the sizes are inflated, hundreds of millions! BILLIONS, QUANTELIONS! But they never show them. Motivating laziness to draw, it is expensive to shoot in films and cartoons. But it seems to me that the matter is in relatively small quantities. 1.2 million clones? Yes. Maybe 1-3 million, seems realistic. But forgetting that there are still usually people in the planetary defense forces. 40 million droids or 60-70 of all modifications, more is true. The same goes for the number of ISDs. In legends there are 25,000 of them, which is a lot and we don’t see them. The alliance base on Hoth, led by Vader, was stormed by 3 ISD. Not 300 or 30. This is a rebel base. There is not a lot of nothing in either games or movies. In the universe, a lot of everything is explained by a low price. But I would suggest the opposite! Money costs more, and especially military products. Such as droids or spaceships. Now, as far as I understand, you can buy a space interceptor for 10 salaries. But this is nonsense. I think the price is from 1000 salaries. And besides, an apple costs not 1 credit, but 0.01 credit. Then the price of the equipment is really normal and at least a little realistic.

The numbers in Star Wars are generally far too small, tbh. How many habitable star systems are there in the known galaxy? Probably around 30 million. If you want to show military strength and presence like the Empire with its Tarkin Doctrine, 25,000 ISDs is not enough. Hell, even 100,000 won't cut it. The same goes for armies, especially the CIS. But I agree, giving huge numbers and then showing at most 20 starships seems dishonest and lazy. However, I also don't know how you could make a gigantic space battle - we're talking possibly hundreds of ships - visually appealing. An appalling example would be the battle of Exegol in RoS.

The most intense war was fought over several well-populated worlds with industry and economy. In other systems, how many living beings are there? The people of the Ahsoka race numbered 50,000 in total. And he had no economy or industry. They were simply taken into slavery and decided to be sold in one of the episodes of the clone wars. For such people, even 1 ISD will be too much. What is the point of inhabited worlds if 1000 oboregens with a stick in their hands can live there or 10,000? It is important to control sector capitals, strategic mines, trade routes, and shipyards. Nobody needed to sit on a planet with a population of 5,000 monkeys living in tents.@@Eric_Carraux_Eichler

The organic droid you mention might be something similar to what the CIS did to Echo after he was believed to have been killed getting Master Koth (spelling???) and Tarkin from the prison planet in the one episode of Clone Wars and with the final product seen in either Season 6 or 7 of the CloneWars show

I would guess that the transport vehicles that carry the folded B1 charge them. A type of wireless charging station as they are held or a small port. Using the same power generator as the transport to recharge any droids before redeploying them.

Please do the super battle driod next and I hope you’re doing well 😊

The ig-97s don't get mentioned often. I hope a B1 will be a main character in future star wars content.

Miss my b1 in galaxies..

A bit after the segment about the price of a B1, I remembered something mentioned in the Clone Wars series. When Grievous destroys a B1, Dooku reprimands him over a hologram, saying something along the lines of, "Battle Droids aren't cheap, you don't see the Jedi treating their clones so ruthlessly." Edit: Found a clip of the scene, he says, and I quote, "Grievous, those battle droids are expensive." The clip cuts off before the comment about the clones so I don't know how close I was.

Now so a video on the B1R droid.

Rest in peace, my battle droid brothers...

Remember: When you don't understand something new then use what you do understand and apply it to that B1 becoming somehow deadly for example.

I'd like to use the B-1s as minions. They're clumsy and stupid but they're loyal and they never give up. A single B-1 on Earth, today, would be the closest thing to a Terminator we've ever seen. Imagine the Atlas robot with a droid brain.

Anyone remember the movie Short Circuit? I always thought that those robots would actually be great combat droids. They put a lot of thought into that design. We already saw Johnny 5 take out 1-4 like it was game. Johnny could probably take out B-1s like a Jedi.

Imagine if George Lucas saw all of this fan affection and didn’t sell the franchise to Disney…

they are fun bunch when they have their own personalities.

45 million droids is absurdly low for a galactic war involving thousands of planets, especially in canon where we rarely see organic confederate troopers.

I'm surprised nobody realized that if the separatists actually pulled their hands right and we're controlled by the palpa. the clones would have lost the war

The best B1 was OOM-9. That droid was a beast

I wonder if the B1's developing personalities is a side effect of not getting a memory wipe and simply experiencing things like an astromech or a protocol droid.

Honestly at times i like to imagine someone getting abunch if these and use them to serve as waiters at a diner somewhere

Does anyone know from which concept art books those screenshots came from?

The name of the books where you take the informacion?

What background music is used?

Astronomically numerous throughout the Clonewars.
