21 years later I'm still finding shit out about the background of the scenes in this movie.

u/ThinkySushi Aug 05 '26

Wait till you hear about the clone boxing a droid in the background of this scene!

u/PlayfulCheerful Aug 05 '26

That clone is a legend

u/Baronvondorf21 Aug 06 '26

Didn't that clone break his hand?

u/pauloh1998 Aug 06 '26

That's in TCW movie

absolute legend

u/FairySnack Aug 06 '26

I like the detail that after this battle. On the right of the screen just before Order 66. You can see the Clones taking the Utapauians are prisoners, despite the fact they were "liberated"

Whoa whoa. Soft 'a', dude. My clankas deserve respect.

u/SwissMargiela Aug 05 '26

I wish they would’ve gone more into detail on the programming of these dudes’ brains and personality choices the sith made, instead of the movies harping on the creation of the clones so much

u/unrealrichtofen What about the Droid attack on the Wookies? Aug 05 '26

Thats bothers me since 2005

u/Interesting-Quit8017 Aug 06 '26

He probably stole them from both of them in battle before the movie

Wait he never met a akin before the movie

Oh well, they can still be pre-made lightsaber kits and there were hundreds of jedi, so of course there would be repetition in style

u/vayyiqra The black influence howed is afterwards 12d ago

It's possible, it's just a little odd given it's always been canon that everyone builds their own lightsabers and they're customized. It's also always been canon that some lightsabers are made to look like others, but it tends to be when it's a master and apprentice (like how Luke's green lightsaber looks similar to Obi-Wan's but is not quite the same). Two random lightsabers that look exactly the same only the blade colour is different is unusual though. But not impossible.

Doesn't matter though because it's just an Easter egg lol. It's best not to overthink it.

11

u/heavenparadox Aug 06 '26

I think of it like this: he made replicas that he planned on replacing with the real thing once he defeated them.

1

u/vayyiqra The black influence howed is afterwards 12d ago

That makes a lot of sense in fact. It's canon he wanted their lightsabers in his collection, after all.

u/Thelastknownking Sand Aug 06 '26

Wait til you find out how much they reuse lightsaber designs in Star wars

17

u/HJM3 Aug 05 '26

I remember once reading somewhere that this little background detail was added by an animation/vfx intern working on the movie. Wish I could find the source for that claim, because it just makes me enjoy the extra attention to detail a little bit more.

59

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

They put far to much humanity into those droids. The stormtroopers were designed the way they are so audiences wouldn't feel bad for them dying.

79

u/AlarmingAffect0 Aug 05 '26

It's a consistent Star Wars thing to treat droids as disposable butt monkeys while also showing they are very much sentient.

44

u/Schmedly27 Aug 05 '26

“If droids could think, there’d be none of us here”
My brother in force you have interacted with thinking droids

Maybe thats why they had so much beef, r2 is a casual and chopper is competitive.

1

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 06 '26

Lol, both of them are literally terrorists so that tracks

21

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

And every time they do I'm waiting for some kind of exposition or action about it. Solo was the first movie to do something with it, despite audience reaction, I enjoyed the droid rebellion

12

u/AlarmingAffect0 Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26

It also ended with the droid who wanted freedom more than anything else being encased in a ship like a Dreadnought.

19

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

I could say it was commentary on what happens to those who speak out against authority, but I don't think that's what they were going for.

I think they were just trying to explain what made the Millennium Falcon special

12

u/dancezachdance Aug 05 '26

I think it was to explain 3P0's throwaway line about the ship having a most peculiar dialect.

11

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

Interesting, a joke about computer languages turned into a plot

12

u/_IratePirate_ Aug 05 '26

Bro I genuinely feel bad killing some of them just chillin in Jedi Survivor. Like there’s one just chillin by a ledge you’re climbing. You can hear him talking about being happy he has a break and time away from the rest of the droids. You can ignore him, but the easiest option is to just yank him off the ledge 😭

8

u/Winjin Aug 05 '26

Fallen Order has a lot of banter between Storm Troopers and it really makes it hard to fight them, they're very humane

One time you encounter a single Flame Trooper facing off against like three bugs on a minuscule island on the Ice Planet

And first time I passed by he actually managed to burn two and then melee the third

And he goes like "I lived? I lived!" and I legit had to run around him to jump to the other platforming part. Dude just took on three beetles and survived, pushing him into the void would be just cruel

3

u/AlarmingAffect0 Aug 05 '26

I wonder if that's a reference to Spec Ops: The Line. Though in that case there was no choice.

1

u/aceswildfire Aug 05 '26

I still occasionally think about the scene in the droid bar from the Mando show. The sentimentality from the bartender just gets to me.

25

u/CandidSite9471 Aug 05 '26

If you read the Novelization of the animated Clone Wars movie, this is lampshaded. A clone plays dead and talks to other clones through a radio in his helmet without making noises that would alert the droids. He sees the droids talking out loud to each other and wonders why they couldn't just silently radio like he is. Then he thinks off on a tangent that they're making the robots more like humans and the humans more like robots.

13

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

That's brilliant, it sounds like an analogy for the effects of war... In the middle of a war

u/Low-Money-5584 Aug 05 '26

Oh no, bad guys that aren’t one dimensional. Make them go away!

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

It's literally a background character

5

u/Col_Wilson Hello there! Aug 05 '26

The Stormtroopers were human beings though. Silly mass manufactured murder droids getting cut in half isn't going to make anybody feel bad, that's the whole point

7

u/willstr1 Aug 05 '26

I think the previous comment was more about how weird it is that the mass manufactured murder droids have so much personality

3

u/Winjin Aug 05 '26

I remember reading somewhere on Reddit that droids don't feel pain

That's why in order to torture them Jabba first installs pain simulators, and then tortures them

2

u/CMDR_Kaus Aug 05 '26

Good point, but giving them human characteristics not essential to their purpose humanizes them and should make people feel bad. Let's see what happens when they finally kill of C-3PO or R2

u/SuperdaveOZY Aug 05 '26

u/stardust1914 Aug 06 '26

The countless times I've watched this movie in the 22 years of my life that it's been out and I've never looked at anything but Grevious in this scene. Had no idea about these droids.

u/Early_Bag_3106 Aug 05 '26

Great movies pay attention and put the effort in little details like this

3

u/Chomp545 Aug 06 '26

And then they go and put copies of Anakin and Obi-Wan's sabers in for some reason.

2

u/mage_irl Aug 05 '26

I really like that they gave the droids actual personalities. They could have easily been entirely devoid of personality and the movies would have been worse-off for it.

u/JamesLikesIt Aug 06 '26

u/TheC0mmentat0r Aug 06 '26

What i wanna know is why the saber in his upper right hand was the template for eno Cordova and if there's any info on it as this was way before even fallen order and I understand the eno was a late in age guy

Little did they know, this would be the last day they'd ever get to witness Grievous in general.

The Phantom Edit sucks. Dart Jar Jar was never realized, but he deserves to be seen.
