This is a question I have for the community. What do you guys think of the Jedi sending padawans, people as young as 12 years old, to lead the clone armies and die in the war? Do you have any pity for them? Does this make you hate the Republic and Jedi more?

Attention, citizens of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. I am Megatron, leader of the Decepticons. I myself and the people of Cybertron have long fallen victim to the negligence of the Republic, and the corruption of the Functionists they were content to give us over to. But no more! Our own revolution has begun against the stagnancy and decadence of the Republic, and it will not stop until we have liberated the rest of the galaxy from it. We share a common goal with you, citizens of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and we would like to join you in your fight. With our combined might, the Republic will finally hear the wrath of those it has long neglected. To the Autobots and any other loyal citizens of the Republic, be aware that you are being deceived by the false democracy you wish to uphold. To the citizens of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, do not fear us, for we know what you’ve been through and we share the same goal. And to my fellow Decepticons, transform and rise up!

This kind of goes into whether droids are sentient or not, but one thing I’ve wondered is if the various battle droids believe in the Separatists cause or if they are just mindless machines fighting against the Republic without knowing why. What do you guys think?

So, since last time I asked about Finis Valorum, I thought I’d ask this subreddit their thoughts on Padme Amidala. What do you guys think about her attempts to make peace with the CIS? Do you guys think she was wrong to stick with the Republic? Or do you guys have any other thoughts on her?

Could you imagine if they gave us a small scale Lukerhulk with an Ep. 1 Nute Gunray? CMON LEGO!

The P-series Droideka was the first mainstream model of Droideka produced by the Colicoid Creation Nest and sold to the Trade Federation and later the Confederacy of Independent Systems. They first saw deployment in the Battle of Naboo, but were also used as security droids by the Trade Federation, notably on the Lucrehulk-class Battle Ship Saak'ak. Two units, P-60 and Commander P-59, were personally summoned by Viceroy Nute Gunray to hold off Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gonn Jin from advancing to the Saak'ak’s bridge. The two were successful at forcing the Jedi into retreat by escaping into the vent shafts. Notable flaws in the model were that they could only deploy their shields once they exit rolling mode, could only fire directly forwards, and could also be prevented from opening their shield if caught off-guard, a tactic exploited by Gungan General Jar Jar Binks. Later improvements introduced in the W-series resulted in the model becoming obsolete by the First Battle of Geonosis, but third parties continued to use them, such as the Bedlam Raiders on Koboh. Some notable units are the heavily modified Droideka programmed and built by Chelli Aphra, Dek-Nil. Dek-Nil was reprogrammed as a "probability droid", although modifications to his existential circuits made him highly illegible and gave him a tendency to babbling and sing. Despite this Dek-Nil was incredibly intelligent thanks to Aphra's modifications, using complex algorithms and simulations to cause chain reactions that saved his teammates multiple times. Additionally, Dek-Nil had a decoy control circuit that protected him from attempts by third parties to highjack or enslave him with the use of a restraining bolt. Unfortunately, during the events leading up to the Skirmish aboard Accresker Jail a Gundravian Hookspore Swarm saw past this and was able to use a hubdroid restraining bolt to turn him against Aphra anyways. The second notable unit is E3-VE3, a unit used by Soont Madas. E3-VE3 was originally reprogrammed by a Bedlam Raider technician with Rayvis' program packaging, but at some point was reprogrammed a second time by Soont Madas with new loyalty protocols. Additionally, Soont Madas overrode the factory settings on their twin blaster cannons to allow quicker firing time and shorter cooldown, enhanced their shield generator, strengthened their plating, and repainted them silver. The disturbed Gotarite prospector left E3-VE3 and a small squad of B1-series Melee Battle Droids in an abandoned Roller Mine factory in the Untamed Downs of Koboh, likely to execute anyone investigating his suspicious activity regarding the reprogrammed demolition droids. Ultimately E3-VE3 was destroyed by the Jedi Knight Cal Kestis during his investigation into Soont Madas prompted by the human and Trodatome couple Gulu and Gido gossiping about the local recluse.

My aat I try to make it look old and damage

Additionally, they served similar purposes — offloading specialized troops, Droidekas and Manta Droid Subfighters respectively. While the Droideka Dropship was likely around the size of an HMP Droid Gunship, the Sub-Carrier was so large that battles could be fought on its dorsal side.

I know this subreddit’s thoughts on why the CIS was right and that the Republic was in the wrong during the Clone Wars, and that the Republic was corrupt even before the Clone Wars.

With all of that in mind, what is this subreddits thoughts on Chancellor Finis Valorum?

I’m curious simply because this subreddit mostly focuses on the Clone Wars and Palpatine, though also going back to the corruption beforehand, which is what makes me curious about what this subreddit thinks of Finis Valorum, since he wasn’t corrupt but was not a good Chancellor either, and his inaction led to the situation that eventually led to the Clone Wars to begin with.

Am I correct or do you guys have other thoughts?

I have come across the subreddit and it made me wonder, why do you guys think the cis did nothing wrong?
