14 Sassiest Droids In The Star Wars Universe
2. Every Single Battle Droid
Why? Why are all of them so unabashedly sassy?
From the bridge crew drone who gives General Grievous a passive-agressive “Your welcome” to the Super Battle Droid that kicks Artoo like a playground bully kicking a smaller kid in the shin, every single one of these guys seems to be programmed with the maturity level of a nine-year-old.
However implausible it might be for millions of Battle Droids to be programmed this way, it really just makes it that much more fun when our heroes hack and blast these lanky jerks to smithereens.
Take for instance the sarcastic Battle Droid Commander in the hangar bay at the beginning of Phantom Menace. “Coruscant… that doesn’t compute, uhhhhh wait, uhhhhh YOU’RE UNDER ARREST!” You gotta hand it to this guy.
He’s actually trolling a Jedi Master. So when Liam Neeson uses his very specific set of Jedi skills to chop this droid in half with his minty-fresh green lightsaber blade, it’s all the more satisfying, because robot or not, that guy was a dick.
