Also, is it just me, or is it ironic that Lucas created a robot that can fellate himself?
They're an army that doesn't need to eat, drink, or even get paid, and they're relatively cheap and easily salvageable.
In other words, exactly the kind of army that a crooked megacorp that tries to cut costs wherever possible would create.
Also, good to know you think all the Gungans, Naboo Guards, Clone Troopers, Jedi and countless other beings that the Battle Droids have gunned down over the course of the canon are inconsequential.
