    Always felt a strange feeling of pity for that Sentinel droid that Revan fixed and later left behind on Endar Spire. It could totaly fit into an escape pod.

      If only the full intelligence could've been restored rather than just making it run a patrol script maybe Revan could've gotten it to follow them to the pod. Imagine if it actually became an important character, developing personality and receiving upgrades as the story went on and perhaps serving as a foil character to HK-47.

    Why did Thrawn ignore CIS droids for the sentinel war droid?
    Answer: He saw the prequels and played the old republic game.

  • @18videowatcher41
    @18videowatcher41 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just because they were old doesn't mean they were weak or poorly designed. There were some rather extraordinary droids designed during the Old Republic era. A famous example is HK-47, though he was improved by Revan with Rakatan technology, so not the best example. Another (far more obscure) example is the Devastator War Droid. Designed by Ubrikkian Steamworks as an upgrade to the Sentinel War Droid. What made this model of droid exceptional, was its ability to "continue to fight at over 85% combat efficiency even after losing a limb or other significant system."

    Looking at the dates, because the author wrote the novel before episode one came out. Then, the way the studio controlled cannon and allowed licensed developers and writers to review the in house literature for details the game designers wanted some Easter eggs and references to tie cannons together.
    In world? Eh. Um.
    So these two droids were examples of engineering, and preserved as art. Due to his habit of taking cultural artifacts and art to murder boner enemies through strats, he came across them and appreciated their effectiveness. After he used then to develop some, thing, he kept them due to there refined capabilities. Maybe their processors were pre some restrictions considering how antsy the SW universe is with droid brains due to multiple droid revolts.
    Also, looking at those dates made me feel old.

    I am 99.9% sure "Sentinel Droid" was just being used in the abstract sense. Using "Sentinel Droid" as a generic term for Guard Droid. I don't think the lore's stating that, it's just a miss-connected link on the wook.

    Just 1 thing, now I might be wrong but you said at 00:44-00:53 that the ''SIth Empire'' was building their own ''KT 400's'' and thousands of Sentinel Droids but then state that the Republic was busy in the Mandalorian Wars at the same time.. There was no ''Actual'' Sith Empire in explored space at the time of the Mandalorian Wars, only after the War did Revan and Malak go to the ''Unknown Regions'' and come back with an ''Sith Armada''. Perhaps you meant that the Sith Empire (Led by Revan) that came AFTER the Mandalorian Wars (The Next War was The Jedi Civil War) were building these droids and ships in droves???
    Unless you are talking about the Sith Empire in the Unknown Regions?? But I don't see how they would have access to KT 400 Transport Ships or Sentinel Droids??

    I wonder what the Rebel Alliance would use these droids for (if they chose to manufacture them). If I could manufacture at least 3,000 of them, I would mostly use them for training new recruits for advanced hand-to-hand combat. And use any spares for battle or recon on planets that could be dangerous for any and all biological life.

      Ancient Romes technology devolved in the last few hundred years of its existence because of war and lost documentation. The Star Wars universe has the same effect at play.
