@@starlight0313 I'm not sure, maybe to fight against imperial remnants or something. I'm sure Dave Filoni could come up with a convincing reason to use basilisk war droids if he decided to
Wait, was it? They failed to injure even a single person and revealed themselves to be completely inefective in every possible way. What's your criteria for cool?
The power source being in the "head" of the Scorpenek actually makes a lot of sense. The biggest threat to it would be mines, since mines are burried and would be inside of the shield by the time they're triggered. So putting the power sources and processors in the top and making the bottom more heavily armored against physical attacks would be the Scorpenek's only real means of defense against mines.
What I want to see is the New Republic repurposing old Droidekas, fixing them up and upgrading them, and then painting the parts that used to be copper in a metallic navy blue color with some touches of light blue here or there, and the photoreceptors could beam yellow instead of red, and then of course with the yellow New Republic insignia on their back shell. I've seen this color scheme on New Republic T-85 X-Wings, so the New Republic does display such colors. And I just wanna see Droidekas in live action again lol.
An old Sith war droid being in the Aphra comic is pretty insane because that means those units are officially canon, whether or not the events of that era are though remains to be seen. Still we also have a KOTOR remake coming and an amazing new cinematic for SWTOR so I'm hoping the future of the Old Republic is a bright one.
I reckon the reason for the scorponeks not being as effective in the Book of Boba Fett was due to either the pykes turning down the blaster intensity to prevent total annihilation (geddit) of Mos Espa or the fact that they weren’t functioning 100% due to their age or problems moving them between planets due to new republic/empire remnant checks (ie having to deconstruct/reconstruct them so they arent noticed).
Loved seeing that the beskar managed to deflect the stomp due to it's rounded shape as much as it's strength people overlook how long humans have angled armor on purpose for similar purposes so it's kindof cool to see it in a fantasy setting
Hopefully we see them upgraded so they can shoot from further away than like 20 feet and actualy be able to hit something instead of missing litteraly every time. Maybe we could also see them move faster than a mobility scooter with dying batteries and we could get their weapons upgraded so that they dont get stopped dead by a half foot thick mud wall.
One of my favorite droids of all time, ever since I first read about it in the New Essential Guide the Droids. The moment I saw that familiar shilleutte I literally lost my shit!
I remember reading the essential guide to droids when renting it from the library as kid seeing these cool looking terrors only to see them years later in live action what a great time to be a star wars fan
honestly, at the time I saw the finale of Boba Fett, I had forgotten those things had existed, but when they appeared they felt familiar to me for some odd reason... this video confirmed my suspicions.
@ZackExplorer28 its boring when you know whats going to happen and nothing is intense or interesting. its like they made the show for babies so as not to startle them
Abso-fraking-lutely enjoyed watching this vid about these Scorpenek Droids Was fraking surprised to see them in The Book Of Boba Fett, but I'm glad to see them in Live Action Star Wars The New Essential Guide to Droids was the first time I've heard about them
Thanks for all the effort, work and reaserch you put into your videos, this channel has been my favourite channel to get lore, info and curiosities about the star wars universe, creatures and machinery. Also really pleasent to listen to, congrats for the public speaking skills.
I can see General Grievous using the Socrpenek annihilator droid as a defender of a fortress, heavy fire support for troops and as a deadly surprised against Republic ships like example: Anakin using his AT-TEs by putting them on astroids to surprise Grievous. Grievous can literally pull that trick on the Republic ships and can also have them stationed on the outside of starships and space stations for extra protection and firepower
Definitely NOT what I thought you looked liked by the sound of your voice. Still, cool seeing you for my first time. You look like you either Les Claypool a bass, or you shread some guitar. If not, awesome looking like a Rockstar. I enjoy all of your videos. Keep on keeping on, dude!
After more lore of the scorpaneks i dont have as many problems with the scene but it still seems like mandalorians are only badass when they arent the main character
It's surprising that more droids like these models didn't see to much use for waring factions after the fall of the empire these designs are really deadly I'm surprised their creators aren't filthy rich with all the clients who want to buy these designs.
lol yeah had to scoot past that point. Very strange since shooting through the walls was one of the specific things pointed out about that mission on Colla IV
If you are building an army these are must have my only modification would probably be a better AI so it can make better target choices and not be easily distracted
Head cannon for why the scorpenek was so ineffective in book of boba fett I belive the pikes bought their droids on the cheap so they were faulty models not approved for frontline operations but the clone wars ended before they could be destroyed this combined with poor maintenance lead to there ineffectiveness
I know no one really comments on the ads that sponsor videos but why do people need hair nowadays? What is so wrong with losing your hair? Does it actually serve a purpose? Has it changed from a function to yet another way for people to judge one another? Everyone seems to have the solution to hair loss but have no idea what actually causes it to be faster or slower for some people? No one can tell me what I can do to speed up hair loss but millions of people can tell me what to do to slow it down.
But, but WHAT ABOUT THE OPPRESSOR AND SENTRY DROIDEKA VARIANTS?! THEY ARE CANNON AFTER THEY WERE MENTIONED IN THE COMPLETE VISUAL GUIDE, BUT NO ONE IS MAKING A VIDEO ABOUT THEM! PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO DISCUSSING THEM I BEG YOU!
Thanks for getting into the law and away that doesn’t like scare me as a progressive person away because I really hate what Disney’s doing with the franchise, but I do love all the lore and I am happy about it. I just wish everyone would just give more constructive criticism
Scorpenek apparently can destroy AT TEs and other vehicles but struggles to blow a wall of a sandstone house. it cant even get any debris off, it's just smokey little holes. Book of Boba Fett is an atrocity of a tv series
it's facinating how the insectoid species held such a monopoly on droids aircraft and widely used hyperdrives
Hopefully this means we might also get to see the Basilisk War Droid on screen one day.
Probably
Maybe Din Djarin will find one on Mandalore

It was great to hear the distinct sound effect of the Droideka laser cannons.
So true
Droidekas are my favorite droid so seeing their big brothers showing up on screen was truly amazing for me.

Hopefully we'll see more of them in upcoming live action shows.
Maybe in some more Star Wars anime?!?!?

I dont get it

Meanwhile in the book of Boba Fett: *Misses their target due to plot inconvenience.*
I really hope they portray much better in future Star Wars shows.
yes, because characters surviving is just horrible, isn't it? >_>
@ZackExplorer28 its boring when you know whats going to happen and nothing is intense or interesting. its like they made the show for babies so as not to startle them
It's kinda funny how the design and shape of the head of the Sith War Droid kinda looks like the midsection and head of the Imperial AT-AT walkers.

While I had issues with the scorpion droids showing up in book of boba fett, I loved that it was obviously taking inspiration from the old republic
I've been waiting for this.
"Where are those Droidekas!?"
**mAsTeR dEsTrOyErS**
Great content, keep it up
Those clankers have tough shields!
Great video mate! Also RIP to Tom Veitch, he will be missed.
You are my choice of deep lore and thank you for it
that's awesome I'm planning to get a lot more out this year

I approve of this video. Please make more on ships and vehicles
Idea: A Protagonist comes to the realization that they are the Main character of their story, and so they are Naturally equipped with Plot Armor.
Another amazing video
It would be cool to see a battle between a Scorpionek droid and a Mandalorian Leviathan
what was that scene at 10:45 from? those looked like republic commandos.
I got some Dune 2021 shield fighting vibes when watching boba fett and the gang take down the droids
When I first saw them in the Finale of BOBF, I thought "oh crap, this battle is going to be epic"
Droideka's are one of my favourite droids in Star Wars
Love that the Sith War Droid is canon
7:45, that is a wookie, more like a 14,5mm at minimum or 20mm at maximum from looks and function for real life equivelant
love your videos man

In other words, one of these wipes out the entire Yuuzhan Vong army.
THIS IS GETING OUT OF HAND NOW THERE ARE TWO OF THEM
WHERE IS THAT RANCOR???
The Virgin Scorpinek vs The Chad Droideka (like seriously it could hardly turn around in the streets of Mos Espa)
I didn't expected that face with that voice..it was a surprise.
I just call this a "oversized Droideka"
Super Droideka
@@sw-gs yes
There is something called the "Ultra Droideka"
That would be the Bio Cannon from Galactic Battlegrounds.

Great Job!
Could you do a video on the Yuzong Vong
Awesome, thanks man
Such a sexy droid! Love the droid army.
This is the very first time i have seen a face reveal on this channel, im probably just slow, but that was cool to be able to put a face to a voice
Good work!
The Book of Boba did have a lot of cool stuff in it.
What is the game at about 1 minute 16 seconds? I'm assuming most of the other videos are from the new battlefront games?
I love your facile hair (KEEPS) it up
Despite my second favourite character showing up(bane)
This is the best part of the mandelorian
Can we please get the entire “life” of r2d2 the guys been through 3 wars and has a kill count higher than Vader I think he deserves it
Don't count Legends Artoo out, he's been through a lot too.
When I saw the these droids but my dad didn’t know what they were I told him those are the droidka bigger and deadlier brother
So why wasn’t it able to shoot through a dirt wall?
that dirt is made from beskar
lol yeah had to scoot past that point. Very strange since shooting through the walls was one of the specific things pointed out about that mission on Colla IV

They’re so intimidating
Droideka go brrrrrrrrr
Please do the legends the life of Darth Maul
It’s cool they made this canon
Yet the blasters can’t make a dent on concrete walls 🤣
The shots likely get dissolved into the concrete

Long history.
Hello there
The mod spin attack can easily destroy the droid.
Scorpenek apparently can destroy AT TEs and other vehicles but struggles to blow a wall of a sandstone house. it cant even get any debris off, it's just smokey little holes. Book of Boba Fett is an atrocity of a tv series
How much🤑 I wanna trade a few squads of them to Tyber Zann for a Aggressor class star destroyer
Droideka are 6ft tall?? Are you sure about that?
Yeah, stand next to one in a battlefront game. They're pretty big
Newest swgoh conquest charachter
So basically a dollar store droideka
ps if anyone finds STL a table I will be happy for the link
