Introduced in the justly maligned prequel movies, battle droids have nonetheless stood the test of time as an iconic addition to the setting. Across the trilogy, and then the Clone Wars TV show, they quickly evolved from an emotionless horde to lovable slapstick villains, and even became strangely relatable—in their pondering about their role and orders, there are shades of uninterested nine-to-five workers just trying to make it through the day without taking flack from the boss.
The various different battle droids created over the course of the movies and TV show make for a perfect set of videogame enemies, filling every combat role neatly. Though I have to applaud Respawn for adding one more of their own—melee B1s, so hilariously useless against a lightsaber-wielding opponent that they add a new layer of slapstick to every fight they're in.It's testament to the versatility of battle droids that essentially they're just the same here as they were in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
