There's also the Togorians, but they are more giant hulking tiger-men then catboys.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I was just looking through that link someone posted about Vader's many many secret apprentices and it turns out that plausible sounding poo poo you made up is actually fairly close to actual EU content. Vader actually did use a secret agent with implanted memories to organise a rebellion and kick off a galactic civil war which would give him a chance to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. The agent died a noble death when he fought Palpatine in order to let the rebel leaders escape his clutches. I am a prophet.

Apparently the Trade Federation protocol droid that tells Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to wait in Episode I ended up joining the rebels and was part of Wedge Antilles' crew.

TOILETLORD posted:i don't know but nerds figure this poo poo out all the time just like they convert fake units of measurement to make the starship comparison charts. Well, I looked it up in the star wars saga rpg book and a B1 series battle droid costs 1800 credits, but it comes with a blaster carbine that's worth 900 credits. In comparison a personal computer is worth 5k, electrobinoculars 1k, A datapad which is basically an ipad is 1k , a breath mask is 200 and a video recorder 50. So if I do rough comparisons in prices between real world PC's, binoculars, ipads, gas masks and video cameras it looks like you get about 3-4 credits per dollar on most products so with a base price of 1800 you're looking at 450-600 dollars for a B-1 battle droid. Assuming they made all the parts and resources for these droids and their weapons it may have been costing them less than 100 dollars per B-1 battle droid. You do need to buy a remote processor for all the B1 series droids to be slaved to, since they don't have processors of their own, that can run between 1,000 to 1 million credits dependent on the range and size of the group of droids you want to control. In comparison it costs 2.1 million dollars per year to deploy a soldier in Afghanistan. Since the clone troopers were unpaid child soldiers we can deduct roughly 2500 dollars (rough average enlisted wages + 225 a month for danger pay) which saves the republic 30,000 dollars a year! changing the the cost of 2.1 million per year to deploy a soldier to 2.1 million a year to deploy a child slave in its place, plus the cost of feeding, raising, cloning and murdering any child slaves that weren't loyal to the republic. In summary:

Get like 200k clones and then 50 million droids.

Absolutely, but it'd make even more sense is if the two sides could just compare economic and environmental impacts of mass droid constructions then simulate how the war would go and negotiate compromises based on that and avoid war entirely. Tolee Bin Klo, Jedi accountant! ...when you google image search for "jedi accountant" does this pop up for anyone else?

Tolee Bin Klo, Jedi accountant! are you not american, when we get mad who gives a poo poo there will be a war. I assume the republic is the same way. Again also when you assume the majority of the population is illiterate, because you never see any books or letters or anything just holographic projections of people talking. Not counting the original control panel labels in the death star made with a labeler.

I straight up walked out like 20 minutes into Episode 2 because it was boring as gently caress. Yet it makes Mace Windu unlikable and it's not just for a lack of Samuel L. Jackson's voice work, because for the animated clone wars cartoon he merely stood in the recording booth for that episode making facial expressions.  Let's face it, the Mace Windu from the clone wars tv series just lacks Samuel L. Jackson's natural charisma.
