Random Star Wars Thoughts

I have wondered about that as well. I'm no fan of the Battle Droid, but I have to admit a Rebel Squad with a couple Destroyers and Supers would make for interesting fan art.

Was thinking recently about the Separatist remnants. They existed, and that's an estabilished fact, and some of them survived to join the Rebel Aliiance. But they received much less attention than the Imperial Remnant. Probably it's because the Empire vs Confederate Remnant conflict is kinda evil versus evil; however, with the Sith gone from the Separatist leadership, they wouldn't be so evil anymore?..

Palpatine used annihilator droids on Byss after the Clone Wars and some leftover baron droids actually overthrew the only settlement on Arzid in 16 ABY. Other than that... "At the end of the Clone Wars, a command signal triggered the simultaneous deactivation of all Separatist droid forces." Any remaining Separatists would've been pretty vulnerable and probably went into hiding from Vader and the Hands.

Gizor Dellso reactivated a lone factory on Mustafar, but the 501st quickly put a stop to that...

Some crime lord accidentally activated a bunch of Buzz Droids in the Falcon's hold once, before she got that name. Bought them on the black market after the war. They got loose and then attacked the Imp cruiser that was trying to arrest him. That was interesting.

And Luke fights one at the start of "Survivor's Quest"...

Your pretty much right on that for the most part. In the clone wars cartoon I think around season 3 or four? A meeting between republic and separatist senators came to an agreement to end the war, but a separatist attack was launched on coruscant dissolving the hopes for peace and count dooku killed the separatist senator who with padme's help brought forth the proposal for the separatists. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mina_Bonteri

Droids, unlike the organics, can be deactivated and can be activated again with no harm. There are numerous records of mass reactivations of battle droids; Gizor Dellso, the Reconquest of the Rim campaign (as described in the Guide to Warfare and Guns of Kelrodo-Ai), etc. While Vader's deactivation commands paralyzed the droid armies and drove the navies to retreat, it in no way completely stopped them.

You know, the Sep Navies were largely impounded for some years after the end of the war, and eventually sold off at government auctions or scrapped as I understand. Perhaps a number of droids met the same fate? There could be whole private security forces of first gen battle droids out there.

I'd really like to see some B1s and B2s in the service of crime lords like Jabba, customized with exotic or unique weaponry and bright/personalized paint jobs... B3s, not so much. I wouldn't mind it if the Imperial Remnant or the GA reprogrammed some of those, but a personal militia? No way.

[Rina Ascura]

In order to impound the navy and resell the droids, the Empire needs to estabilish full control over all Separatist territories. And these territories still have organic and very angry Separatists. Hence Reconquest of the Rim, the Western Reaches operation, the operation against Gizor Dellso and others, in fact a continuation of the Clone Wars.
And the Confederacy may have colonies and outposts in the Unknown Regions such as the western galaxy or the halo. Here's where a Deep Core-like situation of warlordism can emerge and be sustained for years.

Palpatine was right, the Jedi were planning to overthrow the Republic, hence the Clone Army. But what Palpatine(who they knew who he really was all along) didn't tell Anakin was, that the Sith and the Jedi were allies. The plan was to take over, then split the Galaxy evenly between the two factions. However Palpatine betrayed the Jedi, and took power all for himself.

Then Palpatine married Waru and they lived happily ever after.

My random Star Wars thought: Why in the begining of ANH, does Leia speak with a little bit of a British accent?? But then acts like a bad-ass the rest of the movie??

[ed_ification]

Defense mechanism, I should think.  IE, put on "official" voice and get the soldiers to listen to their civilian "boss".
