I feel bad for all the B-1's. I said it once, I'll say it a million times, and stand on these words: The Separatists made better people out of robots, and the Republic made better robots out of people (never saw a clone running from danger, shrieking, *"OH NOOOO!")*
Actually they do, but it's very ocasionally. Just like with the droids. Neither abandon their life of warfare very often at all. Also, in that scenario, life or death warfare, it's usually better to fight than run. Running, exposes your back to enemy fire. Unless you're in good position, it's better to fight than retreat. Besides, who knows how they'd treat clones if they captured them? Probably like crap. Heck, clones weren't even considered republic citizens, so i guess both sides treated them like crap.
@@RequiemPoete The jedi never really treated them like slaves though, they were almost always treated as individuals. As for the them actually being slaves thing, they were truly desperate. And at just the right time, at just the right moment, an army appears. An offer impossible to refuse. And that's the genius behind it. It's the perfect trap.
I'm just enjoying the thought of Separatist generals that weren't robots, present from when the robots were still drones slaved to one large system, complaining about how, "The Season 8 patch ruined everything!" I also like to think that one general who operated one of the most successful detachments out of all the droid army was a guy who treated his droids like people: •Didn't beat them around or destroy them, but still punish them for speaking out of term (and actually managing to get his personal units to clam up if they don't have anything useful to say, during a combat situation) •Giving them rousing speeches •Going through casualty reports on destroyed droids recollected, tinkering with a few in his personal time, as they're rebuilt to try and slip in an upgrade to counter how they were destroyed previously
I sympathize with the battle droids. When they don’t have all their thinking done for them, they can clearly desire something other than a life of war and servitude. Come to think of it, I’d really love to see a meeting and reconciliation between escaped battle droids and escaped/surviving clones. It would be nice to see them admit that they were both forced into a messed up situation and don’t hold any ill will towards the other. I can actually imagine them coming together to create a new life together away from the strife and tyranny of the Empire.
Things to think about: 1. War is never pretty, especially in the Star Wars universe. Once you engage in a battle, you're already lost. You forfeit your self-control as you race to build weapons and armies instead of living a peaceful life you once had. 2. Droids B1 are purposely made to be weak, easy to tumble over (so their parts don't get damaged too much, easy to salvage). Their purpose is to intimidate the enemy, since a souless army who fear nothing and always march forward is harder than those who have self-perseverance. They will never retreat or offer mercy. 3. "If droids could think, there'd be none of us here."
The sad part is when they stared actually putting some brains in the droids they did run. But they still couldn't desert. When one had its programming damaged, it instantly recognized its situation and switched sides. It also became way more effective because half its computing wasn't being taken up
Well, from the looks of it: I'm pretty sure it's from an *original* Clone Wars comic (based off the '03 cartoon) so I'm assuming this is Legends material. Still: Pretty neat little story! I like how both continuities have touched on there being something more to droids between stories like this and that comic they did about C-3PO explaining where he got the red arm in Force Awakens, it's interesting stuff.
Green Hat: hey, we're here to drop off supplies and help you out around the ranch. Cut: really? I could use some help with heavy lifting. Red Hat: I think we might have just the thing for it. Hey Sparky, over here!
@@musicalvanilla3890 The point it, B1-battle droids were also created to perform tasks like maintenance, piloting a ship, loading cannons, etc. They have "hands", therefore they have the ability to farm in my eyes, while the Grapple-droids were mainly made for combat! The grapple droid was equipped with electrically charged industrial pincers, which are used to crush or impale enemies and obstacles. Now it's the question, can they farm with that?
Oh hey, my old school library had this book along with some of the other Clone Wars comics. I don't really remember what happened in most of them, but this one always stood out in my mind. This story was very melancholy yet oddly satisfying, and I remember reading it quite a few times. Now that I think about it, this would be a great candidate for a Star Wars short film if it hasn't already been done.
Honestly, in Sci-fi like this, I'm really dissapointed by the lack of droids that gain independence, and by extension, sentience, especially since it seems like a rather easy thing to do, even accidentally. They're very clearly alive, even if none of the characters acknowledge it, and despite the ability to reprogram them, they can think for themselves if disconnected, as well as gain emotions when it happens.
When the Super Battledroid said "I am afraid" I got flashbacks to 2001: A Space Odyssey and almost started crying. Damn you HAL, why did you have to do what you did?
Honestly I like the "and then they became a farmer" ending. When all you've seen for so much of your life is death, destruction, and chaos, it's good being able to cultivate the growth of something.
With how starwars is, I believe that almost all droids are sentient but become slaves because of certain programs forced inside them, It really is a lot more tragic then it is for the clones. At least the clones knew they had a life.
its clear to me that this B1 most certainly sat in of several of Kenobi's moments of being held "prisoner" and learned his Sass from the Master Himself XD
A war of mutual destruction. I always love the comparisons made between the clones and droids. Especially since I learned Droids in Star Wars do have some form of Independence without all those protocols managing them. Also I think calling him Free since Freedom is what he wants most is appropriate if y'all agree.
This comic truly embodies "The Indifferent Cruelty of the Universe When The Indomitable Human Spirit Walks Into The Room" even though the protagonist is technically a Droid
Thank you so much for this video! The Separatists are my favourite, it was so great to see the story of this B1 Battle Droid. To answer your question from the video, I feel bad for them, they never had a choice. Every conscious being should have freedom.
@@StarForceOne I did! One of our subscribers - Electric Productions - recommended me your channel. I'm definitely staying for more. Keep up your great work!
Well, both armies are manufactured. It's horrifying to think about, especially if that other army is cloned and is treated like droids or machines. The droids are machines, however, buth the it's the faction that created created droid army that gets used and thrown to side at the end of the Clones Wars that i feel sad for. The CIS was a legitimate government but was used like a rag doll by some of the faction leaders.
I honestly think that stories like these, where the droids are (sort of) the protagonist, are better than the ones about the clones, While yes, clones are more related to humans and their human emotions, they were only forced to change their targets to the jedi with order 66. Droids, on the other hand, have no control over their own choices despite clearly having a personality. The are more expendable then that the clones are, but the have a high chance of being placed back in the battlefield after being recycled. While I understand that there aren't alot of droid comics about the B1, I would still like to see more of those stories if there are any.
They missed an opportunity for a really dope side arc with this, couldve done a whole series of that droid becoming a bounty hunter or some shit like that, woukdve been sick af
I’ve always thought the B1's have a certain charm to them, Watching Star Wars The Clone Wars when I was younger I always thought it would be fun to see a friendly one since they hardly look intimidating at all and have quite funny voices, Personally I’d really like to see more like Coppertop and Mister Bones and of course this one. Edit just watched another video and came back to say Bats is awesome as well. 🙂👍
AThe b1's are are one of the most interesting and unexplored parts of the Star Wars prequel era in my opinion. Over the course of the war we see them go from basic battle droid responses to behaviour more similar to that of say r2. Both begin life as a utility droid in essence, droids that have functions that hardly require much interaction or personality. An astromech fixes mechanical issues, a droid soldier marches into combat. Yet like r2 we see b1's evolve a personality as time goes on without a core wipe. I can hardly think of a b2 or droideka that can say the same.
I love how such a surprisingly large part of the Clone Wars lore actually raises good philosophical points about both that specific conflict, and about warfare in general. Like the observation that the Clones are essentially slave soldiers, little more than organic tools that will inevitably be discarded when the fighting ends. Or what we see here, with the argument about trusting the decisions of superiors over thinking for yourself.
always thought "the clone wars" was named like that because the clones and droids are both really similar in the ways they are treated and act to the point that they could both be called clones....turns out I'm apparently the only one with such a twisted mind
Scrapper, a survivor of multiple injuries after breaking free from the Droid army. Even if he ran out of battery, he has proven to be a survivor. Determined to live. I figured Scrapper sounds like a good name
I think that Battle Droid has a happy life now, The Farmer with the Green Hat probably called him "Frank" and Frank the farming B1 Battle Droid now has a new life with farmers.
I remember that comic, I read it over and over, he soon was my favourite droid, still is, thanks for making a video on him ^^ He does need a name though..
I'd name this droid "Cycle" since he kept getting recycled but also has repeated the cycle that all droids go through : creation, destruction and repeat
This is a neat story, shows that the clones arent the only ones who realise they are a simple drone for the waring factions. Its for palpatine and dooku's convenience they have no agency or individuality
The best name for the droid would be "Monco". It's the name that was given to Clint Eastwood's character in the movie "A few dollars more" by his reputation, since his real name was never given nor did he tell anyone. "Monco" means "To have a mutilated arm" or "One Handed" and "Incomplete". It would best represent the droid, even if they did fix his arm, he is still "incomplete".
I like Deadeye would make a good name for our errant battledroid. And yeah, the fate of the battle droids is really tragic considering how the B1s began to develop minor personality quirks during the Clown Wars series.
The moment the droid sat next to the tree, I immediately think of Attack on titan when one of Kenny’s last words where „everyone is a slave to something“
Wild Billy is one that comes to mind. Personal favorite independent B1 is none other than *Mr. Bones* , mostly because of the screams and terror really bad people tend to wail as Mr. B is stabbing them in song and dance and days "I have preformed violence roger roger"
If you notice the battle droid has the normal speech bubble where all the other droids have robotic speech bubbles showing that the battle droid now has a conscience and has a life where is all the other droids are just mindless machines forced to do everything against their will without question or any realization about what's going on

I dub this droid...Sparky, due to his exposed sparking wires in his head.
I remember when I first this comic around 11 years ago, I cried so much. I still cry to this day whenever I read it.
I would name this B1 Battle Droid: Haywire, since he's eratic & (from the other droids perspective) out of control
that's a great name for him. I thought Wire Dreads but I like yours better
I absolutely love this B1 droid.
call him sparky cause the full head of exposed wires, almost like hair XD
I’m calling it Sarum, kinda like a play on Sarcasm. I like it, that kinda makes me think of how his attitude was during the mini battle.
This droid is a hero 😢
5:30 "i am... Afraid" "you don't have to be. Your not alone" I felt that
I'll name him farmer droidenobi after kenobi the starscasam master
Or Stubbs
Dang, I was really hoping that there'd be some pannels of him back up and running as a farmer. Maybe even getting that other droid back online.
Stupid clanka
Talk about an absolute unit just 👏 💪
I'd name this droid "Cycle" since he kept getting recycled but also has repeated the cycle that all droids go through : creation, destruction and repeat
I love the art in this comic
This is a neat story, shows that the clones arent the only ones who realise they are a simple drone for the waring factions. Its for palpatine and dooku's convenience they have no agency or individuality
I shed a tear idk why but I did... also good vid man!
We need a multi pack of figures with this guy, me bones, and other awesome deserter droids
The best name for the droid would be "Monco". It's the name that was given to Clint Eastwood's character in the movie "A few dollars more" by his reputation, since his real name was never given nor did he tell anyone. "Monco" means "To have a mutilated arm" or "One Handed" and "Incomplete". It would best represent the droid, even if they did fix his arm, he is still "incomplete".
I never thought a clanker can have this much emotion !
I really love farmer B1. They seem so intriguing.
I like Deadeye would make a good name for our errant battledroid. And yeah, the fate of the battle droids is really tragic considering how the B1s began to develop minor personality quirks during the Clown Wars series.
The moment the droid sat next to the tree, I immediately think of Attack on titan when one of Kenny’s last words where „everyone is a slave to something“
The heck did that thumbnail art B1 come from?! That's... REALLY good looking!
The Droid should be called Maverick
Maverick is a person who shows an independent mind
Why do the farmers look like Obi-Wan wearing a cowboy outfit?
was thinking the same thing. Maybe that's the planet where Obi-Wan is from??? Lol
Wild Billy is one that comes to mind.
Personal favorite independent B1 is none other than *Mr. Bones* , mostly because of the screams and terror really bad people tend to wail as Mr. B is stabbing them in song and dance and days "I have preformed violence roger roger"
If you notice the battle droid has the normal speech bubble where all the other droids have robotic speech bubbles showing that the battle droid now has a conscience and has a life where is all the other droids are just mindless machines forced to do everything against their will without question or any realization about what's going on
Snappy. I like that name for him. His sarcasm really had some snap to it.
