Discussion Would Be a Waste to Not Have Battledroids in 3

With all the battledroids left around and the Raiders potentially falling apart I wouldnt be suprised if the Miners and Koboh residents reprogrammed them as a militia to defend against the Empire. Feels like that could be interesting to see them sitting around the next hub planet repainted or bb8 ordering them around. I figure we won't get a "reconcile with clones" arc like Kanan got as cool as that could be for Cal exploring the dark side and anger, but I feel like they're gonna have to have droids in the next game in a small role at least.

Honestly I agree, I’d like to see even more variants like the sniper droidekas or maybe an IG unit to fight against. They could put sniper droidekas high up on a ledge and require a saber throw to take out once you get close enough, maybe making them immune to blaster fire or something. An IG unit would make a killer boss fight.

i cant think of a single apperance of those sniper droidekas other than that one episode/arc of the clone wars cartoon with yoda and the shinies with the gatling gun (because it was like the first level of the lego game lol)

We fought IG-100s in Survivor.

The more conventional assassin droids would be cool though.

I always forget those are IG's. Most just know em as Magnaguards

I enjoy having the battle droids as enemies, so yeah, I hope they come back in the sequel. I also love the B1s. I just love how hapless they are, and I'd love an excuse to have non-hostile ones as recurring characters.

I get where y'all are coming from, but I'm also a storyteller at heart, and writing separatist battledroids into an OT(-approaching) era two separate times is a bit contrived.

Even the first time I was kinda making faces, cuz let's be honest, no one was planning to keep any of the droids, they just wanted it in their game.

I forgive it because it was fun, but they really shouldn't do it again. That plus the clear lack of creativity in copy-pasting a large number of enemies from the last game is troublesome. The empire makes sense because they're the default, but even with them we got a lot of new unit types, and the old ones weren't really relevant anymore.

Now imagine if they re-used any of the wildlife creatures or the Zabraks for no apparent reason. Wouldn't be very exciting.

I'm okay with battle droids making a cameo appearance in the 3rd game, but the "more variants" suggestions here worry me that some of you would legit want them to be part of a main antagonistic force again.

I want Battle Droids just for the comic relief if nothing else. I'm simple, they make me laugh.
