[@raistlinlove1307]

So true

[@orkface234]

Droidekas are my favorite droid so seeing their big brothers showing up on screen was truly amazing for me.

[@roger632]

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.

[@Corvus__]

MetaNerdz: There's always a bigger droid. Me: Something seems fishy about that quote!

[@CobraTrouser]

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.

[@afrasiyabkhan3259]

bye bye remake

[@amser7]

@@afrasiyabkhan3259 wdym?

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

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.

[@sladesledgesheep2490]

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).

[@aaronlawson2006]

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

[@ArtificialDragon]

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!

[@ConnorNotyerbidness]

Meanwhile, Darth Nox: "How do you know im Not a colicoid?"

[@JettQuasar]

Hopefully we'll see more of them in upcoming live action shows.

[@hellogoodbye1441]

Maybe in some more Star Wars anime?!?!?

[@GrimgoreIronhide]

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.

[@Chisszaru]

I just love the fact that we got to see Boba ride his Rancor. This droid sure is a worthy opponent to any Mando out there

[@jasoethesentienteyeshapedg4847]

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.

[@ZackExplorer28]

yes, because characters surviving is just horrible, isn't it? >_>

[@ElPINGAS9000]

​@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

[@william_brobrine8975]

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

[@RayMKlll]

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.

[@nathanlynch9634]

This is the first time this droid has appeared in any movie or tv series.

[@roger632]

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.

[@loganwhitney8471]

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

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.
