The smoke bomb also works to hide unit movement. The detection mode makes hunting down a slippery opponent much easier.

As she begins searching for a light switch her small light source falls on something that catches her eye, a tall, deactivated droid holding a large staff, as she admires the advanced and impressive machinery, her eye is caught once again by a large lever, "finally, a light switch, I hope it works" she thinks. She pulls the lever, and a generator starting up can be heard deeper in the facility, she steps back and turns towards the dark abyss that is the rest of the room, and as the lights flicker to life, she stands in awe. Rows upon rows of expertly crafted IG-100 Magna Guards, around a hundred units awaiting their reprogramming and revival. "This..." Rey says aloud, "This is what will save us"

I remember thinking that it would have been really cool if Rey had used an old salvaged electro staff. Maybe it's not even obvious that's what it is, until she has to get into a fight with Kylo, and even then it's running on some kind of inferior battery, so it fizzles out, and she uses the force to grab the lightsaber.

Nice, but cutting them in half (top to bottom, not at the waist) will destroy them in one swipe. Granted it was probably hard to get in that position, but still

I played a clone wars game on the wii and I remember seeing so many magnaguards that were like not really mini bosses but sorta were. Most of my memories are from them in that game and rewatching the clone wars they barely ever show up. They had more screen time in that one game than in the clone wars series lol.

7:06 actually there were a few that could in fact do that. But two of them were the grandmaster (Yoda) and master of the order,(Mace Windu) respectively. and the third was the standard blade instructor for the temple (Cin Drallig). Those however, are special cases and they all make sense.

Also supposed Grevious wiped entire libraries of combat technique from their programming upon getting them, and trained them personality, giving the droids real world experience.
