@@tankt1ger955 to defeat a Jedi you have to mess with their emotions and/or concentration, since those are the things they need to use the Force. You must intimidate them, make them feel outmatched, or just cause chaos all around. That's the only way to negate their Force advantage. Unfortunately, most of the Jedi we see remain calm when facing both them and Grievous, puts them a great disadvantage. Alternatively, you can go the Mandalorian way and use buckshot. Which, why the Magnaguards don't have that loaded in an arm-mounted slugthower is beyond me. Had they had that, we definitely would've seen many more Jedi deaths.
2:25 people say grievous doesn’t have honour, but grievous actually orders his manga guards to attack when the Jedi pulled a force push up his sleeve and “broke the rules”
He made them guard so he can’t run away, he gave him the honor of a 1v1 with purely lightsaber dueling, a treat many are not given by him, yet he uses the force for an advantage, forgetting that there are 4 droids surrounding him

@@seanshultze220 As long as he always had the tactical advantage, yea. It’s what always bugged me about the clone wars Grievous.

@@texel76I think it’s intentional, the ones with the yellow eyes are more of a threat, so Dooku brings them when he needs to capture Anakin to free Grievous. But in this scene he is testing Anakin on Palpatine’s behalf, so the guards are just a distraction
I like how Anakin’s fighting style has more and more aggression in it the further into the show you get. He’s fought Magnaguards enough times to display this. When he rescued R2, there was some aggression in him but he had more of a Jedi’s grace than anything. Meanwhile, in the dining room ambush, Anakin disrespectfully kicks down a cut down Magnaguard and grabs and crushes a punch with his mechanical arm in a manner that makes you swear you saw fear or intimidation in the poor shocky bastard, while on Naboo he’s more or less throwing Magnaguards around and across rooms and halls and catches Dooku by surprise more than once, making him use the Force to bring Anakin down.
@ 4:35 we see the first on-screen case of a non-energized metal resisting a lightsaber strike (before beskar on-screen in the mandalorian did) when the magnaguard blocks anakin's strike with the middle of his staff, instead of using one of the two energized ends I know in legends lore (which at the time of this show's creation was canon) they are made of phrik which is a lightsaber resistant metal, but it's still interesting to see a case of metal stopping a lightsaber on-screen during George Lucas' ownership of star wars. This scene likely slipped past his notice.
The saber struck very close to one end of the staff, so you could probably just pass it off as the blade colliding close enough to the electrically charged tip of the staff and allowing some residual energy to reflect it.
quite silly how they nerfed both the guards and grievous so much. its almost comical seeing anakin an kenobi struggle in revenge of the sith, but just laying with them in the clone wars
Exactly. On an individual basis, Grievous' bodyguards were tough matches for Obi-Wan & Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. In the original script, the one fighting Obi-Wan was even supposed to land a few major hits. They were clearly intended to be top tier threats, yet in TCW they are overmatched in large groups by the likes of Ahsoka or Nahdar.
Dude the magnaguards absolutely wreck Ahsoka, Anakin, and obi wan in the show, though they do win more often because... well their fighting them more often.
These droids deserve to come into a live action story somehow the B2s in Mando looked so menacing imagine the updated technology they could use so they could have an amazing fight scene
Funny cause both Maul and Ahsoka (early Padawan) were outnumbered by a group of MagnaGuard, yet never got touch once and easily destroyed them. While we have two powerful Jedi Anakin and Fisto look like they struggles fighting them.
Anakin: defeats Grievous's Magnaguards with some but not too much difficulty rescuing R2 Also Anakin: doesn't slice a single one of Dooku's yellow Magnaguards
So the lesson I see here is that if you combine four Magna Guards with a skilled lightsaber combatant/Jedi killer, they can't lose. I'm particularly referring to when Eeth Koth was defeated by Grievous and when Dooku captured Anakin. Though I suppose that's mostly because it involves a single combatant fighting against five.
Fun fact: In ROS, the magna guards were the original design for Grievous, but Lucas went with the current design, and decided to re-use them as his bodyguards.
This is probably my favorite separatist droid. They have great design great skills and great weapons plus look at their voice 0:07 it's something you hear before you die
The Magnaguards had a few weaknesses. First, their weapon: while it could clash with a Lightsaber perfectly well, the only setting it apparently had was "stun like a bitch". Imagine if they had Saberstaffs like the Jedi Courascant Guard had instead, they would be far more lethal. They land hits all the time, but their very weapons preclude them from being genuinely lethal without a prolonged period of zapping. Second, they're droids. A natural weakness, sure, but they get chopped up extremely easily by any lightsaber. As Dooku and his four bot squad shows, with proper support they can easily outmaneuver a Jedi with their tactical programming and group functionality. Imagine if it whatever allows their staffs to clash was plated on their chests - that alone would cut down on a lot of their takedowns. These guys had serious potential, and its a shame we only ever see them fighting Jedi.
Fun fact, none of the yellow eyed Manga guards ever died in the Clone Wars. (Even when they have yellow staffs like in Onderon etc. they have red eyes)
Droid body, legs, arms, a minifig head a cloth piece (Does not bloody exist irl cuz why not have nice things) and has the best block animation in the game.
Imagine stumbling across a reprogrammable, repairable MagnaGaurd. You'd either have an excellent sparring partner, or something that can give common thugs a good beating.
I wouldn't get my hopes up. They were practically defunct following a New Hope. Those owned by a Hutt in the comics when Luke was searching for someone to train him were starting to fall apart due to disrepair, possibly being made illegal. Years later in the Mandalorian part of the timeline... I think we'd be hard pressed to find some still functioning.
That would be highly unlikely since Separatist droids were banned by Sidious. And there are probably little to no Magnaguards left, maybe some factories that got destroyed or disabled. And nobody would use them unless some engineer found some and used them for their own protection. Sorry to be a party pooper.
Yeah they should do this its a huge galaxy, universe. Im sure they are somewhere out there and survived we know Kalani did and other remnants or were reprogrammed. It would be smart to start manufacturing them again if someone could maybe in secret.
I kinda want a short series or movie about a rogue magna guard. But then again how entertaining it would be to watch a droid being the main character. But I think it might be cool.
I love how there are different types of Magna Guards of course the red eyed ones, yellow ones, cloaked ones, one with a rocket launcher and you could even count the battlefront 2 ones with the explosive weapon and other gear, back then I wanted them to have the electrostaff too! But now the old bf2 magnaguard has grown on me that they stand on their own. We also have different colour action figures of them, and soon we will see the ones in Jedi Survivor which is still a mystery. 🙂
I never did understand the effectiveness of those staffs of theirs. They get plenty of hits on Jedi, but they don't seem to do any significant damage except for some mild to moderate electric burns.
Both Magna guards and commando droids needed more ass kicking scenes I still want an episode around a squad of Magna guards who destroy a republic base
Way to expensive. Same goes for Comando droids. If every b1 WOULD be replaced with a comando droid, the Republik would have lost the clonewars in a matter of days. A comando droids price is equivalent to 60k USD So yeah 1 comando costs as much as 57,52 B1 droids. Ig-100 is even more expensive. Not much more, but still more.
@@konighartzderiv.4898 Clones are still more skilled than commando droids tho but the fight would be tougher but the war would not have been won you sound crazy
These guys had the skills of a jedi knight, not surprised separatists leaders use them as personal bodyguards but I wonder how hard and expensive was to build one to make the confederacy win the war building millions of them.

Anikin the second time around with the Ig 100’s was like a high level character running through the tutorial section again lol.
One of the few droids that can hold their own against Jedi. They should have made more 😂
Way to expensive.
Same goes for Comando droids.
If every b1 WOULD be replaced with a comando droid, the Republik would have lost the clonewars in a matter of days.
A comando droids price is equivalent to 60k USD
So yeah 1 comando costs as much as 57,52 B1 droids.
Ig-100 is even more expensive.
Not much more, but still more.
@@konighartzderiv.4898 Clones are still more skilled than commando droids tho but the fight would be tougher but the war would not have been won you sound crazy
@@Angel05433your joking right?
@@Angel0543320 commando droids could turn the tide of a battle
Yea magna guards were no joke when 1 is safe to say equivalent to a low level Jedi
I remember in battlefront 2 i was so disappointed when they only had those stupid Pistols lol
Which we had more of these guys in the clone wars, they’re great
These guys had the skills of a jedi knight, not surprised separatists leaders use them as personal bodyguards but I wonder how hard and expensive was to build one to make the confederacy win the war building millions of them.
these droids look straight out of terminator salvation
i always like how dookus cadre of guards are unquie in not just staff color but markings to
I don't know why but I get a feeling that these droids have a sort of brotherhood with each other, such as with this scene here 0:33
The Magna Droids are the coolest droids besides the Commando Droids😍
I like how anakin gets hurt less by them the more he gets hit by them. At the last encounter, he basically just shrugs it off.
I wish more of them wore cloaks more often, they make them look so much cooler.
Cad Bane had a Magna Guard at one point
