10. B1 Battle Droids Were Designed To Resemble Geonosians
Ever since the day they debuted in the Star Wars universe during 1999's Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, folks have no doubt been wondering what in the hell went into the designing of these little battle droid nuisances.
It was ultimately shown in Episode II: Attack of the Clones that the B1 battle droids were manufactured on the planet Geonosis. And it turns out that they were actually designed to resemble the flying alien creatures found on that sandy planet, according to the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded canon reference book.
These droids were also ridiculously cheap to produce, hence why the Separatists were never that bothered about waves of the little mechanical menaces being wiped out during the Clone Wars.
The resemblance between the Geonosians and the increasingly comical droid soldiers they designed has honestly been staring you in the face for decades.
And elsewhere, droidekas were designed by the Colicoid species, an insectoid race that also opted to make their droids look somewhat like themselves. Because why the hell not, eh?
