@@chee.rah.monurB No, IG droids and what you are thinking of, BX-series Commando droids, are different droid models. IG units are definitely more deadly though.
I really like the way it moves. It's not just a robot mimicing a human. It actually uses it's servos, turns around on the spot and aims at several targets at the same time. For Star Wars this is very functional and well thought out. It also makes IG 11 very alien like and menacing. Very well done.
Exactly. That's what's making it cool to watch. Most CG robots/androids in recent shows had some actor doing the motion capture, making it look like a human instead of a robot.
"I am not a living thing" "I can no longer carry this for you, nor can I watch the child" "Victory through combat is impossible" "Sadly there is no scenario, where the child lives and I survive" "Do not be sad I was never alive" Damn not many shows can achieve a feeling where you emotionally attached to a machine, he might say he was not a living thing but to us he was living and that was enough
IG 11 was just a brilliant Character and went so well with the series. His end was also one of the best written things in the whole galaxy of Star wars in my opinion. But also one of the saddest.
Wouldn’t go as far to say the best written thing , but the character as whole was more interesting to me than mostly all the characters in the sequels , was able to connect more with a droid than majority of any of those in the sequels
IG droids was exactly how I imagined the killer robots of the future. Basically aimbots with perfect accuracy and spatial awareness able to kill as many men (and perhaps vehicles) as it's ammo and fire rate allowed it. A much more accurate representation compared to for example the b1 battle droids
@@hyperion3145 the very first time they apeared and, no one knew what they were and they seemed to be an organised, infinate army. Until a sith lord pretending to be a dumbass rolled over them in the dumbest way possible.

I miss IG-11. Also so happy we finally got to see how deadly this stiff skinny robot series is. Every movement is so calculated and effective, nothing wasted or unnessesary.
Fun fact: The IG-88 series rebelled against their makers and killed them to become bounty hunters. The IG units were also illegal under the galactic republic. Later the manufacturer was forced to remanufacture said units as “security droids” after the empire was established if they wanted to continue production.
I do appreciate the fact that more of these didn't exist because they were considered a mistake. Wasn't it because they added too much sentience or something like that? Basically like how R2 was the most illegal astromech in the Galaxy by year 3 of the Clone Wars?
@@jairusjuedes22 The last one had downloaded its consciousness into the second Death Star Computer. Had the space station not been destroyed it would have been under IG-88's control.
I was scared of IG-88 as a kid cause his bossfight on Ord Mantell in SotE was spooky. Seeing IG-11 move like that more than 20 years later made me smile.
I kinda like the idea of IG-11 being somewhat similar to a physically disabled individual going through physical therapy. He has to relarn how to walk, to pick things up without breaking them, to move things, to be efficient, to notice small creatures, and even do something like pouring a cup of tea (Which can be difficult if one isn't used to using two hands, I know that when I was a kid I missed pouring water into my cup because I didn't understand the idea of a arc, and I recall my cousins being similar). Its just so fascinating to me.
I love how the series showed how terrifying IG units can be. I can’t imagine how deadly IG-88 is. If you really think about it, bounty hunting droids are probably among some of the best in the galaxy. There’s a reason Vader hired not just IG-88, but also 4-LOM to track down the Millennium Falcon.
IG-88 was a Clone Wars Bounty Hunter, however seemed part of a team to make an attempt to capture Palpatine, but was foiled by Kenobi posing as a bounty hunter who was believed to have killed Kenobi was indeed an amazing cover.
@@shadylapizo9245 IG-88 never appeared in TCW. However plenty of IG-86 models showed up. The primary difference is the legs being less armored but seemingly more flexible.
He and Kuill never should have been killed off in my opinion. They were such great characters (better than most of the other side characters, except Mayfeld) and had they lived, I think Season 2 would have been much better than how it turned out. At least they both had heroic endings though. Edit: After having seen what happens to him in Season 3, I take it back. I would have preferred he stayed dead, rather than be reduced to a walking suit of armor with a talking "No" button. There was absolutely no dignity in that for him whatsoever.
Someone had to die with emotional value I actually enjoy seeing the end of my favourite characters like I don't want them to die early but would like to see the end of their story I still want to see Rex's
@@HeadHunterKillCounts Last time I saw Rex was in Rebels which takes place during the rise of the Empire somewhere after Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ( which btw I really enjoyed ) I think he will die of old age .
It really is a dream come true to see an IG unit in live-action combat. These are some of the most fearsome, effective, ruthless droids ever created, literally banned by the galaxy at large because they were too good at their purpose. (Largely assassination) Awesome, all I can say, awesome.
I think The Mandalorian perfectly captured the horror of going up against an IG-series assassin droid. Those of you who played Shadows of the Empire remember IG-88
Im so happy the ig units got a more flushed out showing in film than just ep4, they are by the far the most terrifying droids in design and sheer power. Imagine the seperatists, but only ig units
I was seriously impressed when the IG11 appeared, that's how I would imagine a fight droid to act. The mandalorian really was an amazing show, best thing that came out of Disney in the last 10 years.
Well… considering they are mostly used by loan sharks (Both corporate and crime) seeing their distinctive frame from the horizon just makes you sigh out the words. “Ah I’m done”
I hope his movement style becomes the standard for IG units in the future. It really uses the way they’re built and the fact that they’re not organic to the fullest.
Subparagraph 16 of the bondsman guild protocol waiver compels me to say you are doing a wonderful job and I hope for you to continue to produce these assets.
IG-11 was a dream come true for 88 fans. You can totally buy how dangerous this robot would be compared to how it looked like it could be knocked over by a strong breeze in the original trilogy.
B-1 Series droid: 1000 shots, hits one target. IG Series droid: A dozen targets, doesn't miss a shot. The CIS really should have invested more in its targeting software.
The B-1s were always known for quantity over quality. but had the CIS made subtle improvements over the course of the clone wars, they’d be more Formidable. It’s just a shame the factories were shut down, a missed opportunity to be used by the empire.
@@relicvault1515 yeah, it’s a scary thought that the B-1’s could have been like the Russian T-34 tank in ww2. Gradual improvements in the factory without compromising production could have seen an over all increase in performance more than the republic could ultimately handle - if the war was a legit all out fight and neither side ran out of resources or money ….
B-1's are actually very efficient droids, they suck ass due to how much software is crammed into them, which is why b-1's can easily take many different tasks.
"I understand now why you cry, but its something I could never do" "Are you satisfied with your care?" "There's nothing to be sad about....... I've never been alive" Robot character deaths always hit the hardest
My favorite part is even though its orders are to protect the child and be a nurse droid, it took the initiative to totally wipe out a towns worth of stormtroopers for the safety of the child.
That was all protocol. IG was a walking computer and had to follow strict programming, so his base command was to self destruct because he wasn’t permitted to be captured. He really had no choice. Super cool how it all was written and played out.
I will forever feel sorry for some of the basic battle droids of the Clone Wars. They could be a lively bunch, but they were stuck being cannon fodder against the Republic's forces.
I was born in New Zealand, and it makes me so happy to hear the Kiwi accent in so much modern media. I have very fond memories of when I used to live there.
IG-11: You would live and I would serve my purpose, there’s nothing to be sad about I’ve never been more alive. That is coming from a droid who was a hunter now a nurse droid. This droid has to be Mando’s favorite and mine. 😢😢😢
IG-11 is the sci-fi combination of L. Frank Baum and Sergio Leone. The Tin Man as one brutally single-minded bounty hunter from a space spaghetti western, both violent and oddly heartful.
One thing I like about 'Star Wars' droids is that they often have that METAL MACHINE look, rather than that ultra-sleek, Apple Store like look of the androids/synthetics of other sci-fi 'universes'.
He’s honestly my favorite new character and I love the idea of reprogram killer robots to be nursing droid. It sucks that he had to die, I think they could have done neat things with his character.
Great to see the IG unit get some focus. I've always been intrigued given the inclusion in the Empire Strikes Back (all those bounty hunters are iconic!)
Hard to tell who would win in a fight between IG-11 and HK-47. Would be a hell of a fight to watch (and would be sad to see one of them go, if not both).
IG-11 before his reconstruction would have annoyed HK-47 whom is a hunter with a mission beyond the kill. HK picks his kills to get the most results out of the target’s death effectively calculating and banking on the sociological response to basically keep the galaxy in order. Not an in the moment and simple subsistence super turret that IG- acts like (even though his movements and targeting are precise and waste nothing) While HK would dislike IG being a nurse droid more (unless he respects the need to protect and nurture the child) the door was now opening for IG to evolve a personality that could comprehend and appreciate the ripple effects of a single drastic action, how to predict eventualities, and how to benefit from them. And not at least learning how to hunt the way HK does would perhaps be the most distressing for HK. As for combating each other I suspect HK’s more varied arsenal would help and his tendency to not mess around by relying on blasters and would go for ion weapons/stunners if he really wanted IG dead.
I always wondered how these clunky and rigid looking droids we're supposed to be feared assassins, because all we ever saw of them before was random shots or pictures of them standing still (well minus the junkyard level in the Shadows of the Empire game). Now it makes perfect sense.
The Mandalorian made the idea of fighting droids a lot more scarier than the original movie's battledroids
which makes the idea that there were HK assassin droids in episode 13 that got none of the respect kinda painful. Even if the late models were supposed to be inferior to their predecessors, it still hurts a bit.

IG-11: You would live and I would serve my purpose, there’s nothing to be sad about I’ve never been more alive. That is coming from a droid who was a hunter now a nurse droid. This droid has to be Mando’s favorite and mine. 😢😢😢
I love this droid :)
Taika Waititi is amazing
IG-11 is the sci-fi combination of L. Frank Baum and Sergio Leone. The Tin Man as one brutally single-minded bounty hunter from a space spaghetti western, both violent and oddly heartful.
One thing I like about 'Star Wars' droids is that they often have that METAL MACHINE look, rather than that ultra-sleek, Apple Store like look of the androids/synthetics of other sci-fi 'universes'.
Exactly, they look like actual robots and not like.. for instance….. like in “I, Robot”
GOAT droid.
I LOVE that they gave IG-11 the same weapons the IG-88 action figure came with in 1980!
Anyone here after Chapter 17?
I am
He’s honestly my favorite new character and I love the idea of reprogram killer robots to be nursing droid. It sucks that he had to die, I think they could have done neat things with his character.
Understatement: Impressive.
“I love IG units”
Same dude!
K2SO and IG-11 remain my two favouritest Star Wars droids.
Great to see the IG unit get some focus. I've always been intrigued given the inclusion in the Empire Strikes Back (all those bounty hunters are iconic!)
Man I miss IG-11, doesn't feel right as he currently is
If this guy is this good at fighting imagine how terrifying IG88 is
Imagine an IG-11 droid covered in full Beskar armor
Hard to tell who would win in a fight between IG-11 and HK-47. Would be a hell of a fight to watch (and would be sad to see one of them go, if not both).
IG-11 before his reconstruction would have annoyed HK-47 whom is a hunter with a mission beyond the kill. HK picks his kills to get the most results out of the target’s death effectively calculating and banking on the sociological response to basically keep the galaxy in order. Not an in the moment and simple subsistence super turret that IG- acts like (even though his movements and targeting are precise and waste nothing)
While HK would dislike IG being a nurse droid more (unless he respects the need to protect and nurture the child) the door was now opening for IG to evolve a personality that could comprehend and appreciate the ripple effects of a single drastic action, how to predict eventualities, and how to benefit from them.
And not at least learning how to hunt the way HK does would perhaps be the most distressing for HK.
As for combating each other I suspect HK’s more varied arsenal would help and his tendency to not mess around by relying on blasters and would go for ion weapons/stunners if he really wanted IG dead.
8:16 Powerful death scene.
I always wondered how these clunky and rigid looking droids we're supposed to be feared assassins, because all we ever saw of them before was random shots or pictures of them standing still (well minus the junkyard level in the Shadows of the Empire game). Now it makes perfect sense.
7:10 "Watch your feet, it's molten lava!" xD
3:57
*Menacing music*
IG-11: Tea?
