Generally droid armies have one or two organic commanders who are usually safe in command bunkers, on ships, or in armored vehicles.And often times their missions are semi-genocidal to start with. So I don't see how gassing would be a bad idea for the Seps.
hell, they'd be far more successfull if they just relied on vietnam era bombers with napalm
Originally posted by Omega VisionScience Fiction in general, the whole idea of using almost 1:1 human looking robots as soldiers is kinda dumb. Just build 1 Druidica (<- spelling? These rolling mofos with shields) instead of 50 normal droids.
Star Wars has always been about Impractical but Cool technology.

I don't follow SW...but I had always assumed they had somehow explained away nukes and such (ie through a galactic ban or some such nonsense)

Mace Windu is incredibly fast...
From the RotS novel, "Vaapad, the seventh form of lightsaber combat, takes its name from a notoriously dangerous predator native to the moons of Sarapin: a vaapad attacks its prey with whipping strikes of its blindingly fast tentacles. Most have at least seven. It is not uncommon for them to have as many as twelve; the largest ever killed had twenty-three. With a vaapad, one never knew how many tentacles it had until it was dead: they move too fast to count. Almost too fast to see. So did Mace's blade."
"Mace pressed back the darkness with a relentless straight-ahead march; his own blade, that distinctive amethyst blaze that had been the final sight of so many evil beings across the galaxy, made a haze of its own: an oblate sphere of purple fire within which there seemed to be dozens of swords slashing in all directions at once."
From Shatterpoint, "And even hurt, lurching drunkenly, Vaster still could whip his arms in blindingly fast raking slaps at Mace's head and wounded neck. But where Vastor's speed was blinding, Mace's was invisible. Not one of those slaps connected.
Before Vastor could even focus his eyes, Mace had hit him six times: two thundering hooks to his short ribs, a knee slamming hard into the same thigh he'd hit before, an elbow snapping up to the point of his chin, and two devastating palm strikes to either hinge of his jaw."
"Then he hit Vastor twice in the nose before the lor pelek could even blink."
As for his relfexes, Mace Windu has defeated Greivous in saber combat and Greivous can attack up to twelve times per second. He also "defeated" Sidious who moved so fast he was described as merely a blur and was able to kill three Jedi in as many seconds.
He also has Shatterpoint which not only allows him to find the weak spot in objects, but in a duel as well. Meaning he can use it to find a weakness of Spiderman. For example, in RotS he uses the Shatterpoint technique against Sidious. In the lightsaber duel it is the window, so he cuts open the window making Sidious sacrafice some of his speed in order to use the force to keep himself from slipping. This is ultimately what allowed Mace to win.

Epic fail, care to proof how fast these "hundreds of lasers" move? From the vid I can tell you their slow as ass cause well I can SEE their movement... And it's not Spidey is doing shit like that 24/7.
they were clearly mvoe very fast becuase not single clone trooper could react to them.
Originally posted by illadelph12Mace just force crushed his rib cage (which is inadmissible in scenario #1). Mace never fights Dooku or Asajj Ventress to my knowledge so there's nothing there to show what he would do against an opponent with some actual ability. Honestly, there really isn't much to go on besides his raping of a bunch of inept idiot robots.

Actaully he fought both of them. He fought Dooku a top a train and he was attacked by a bunch of grevous men in which dooku fled. Dooku was scared shitless of mace and always tried to flee if possable. He dam well new he was no match. Asajj Ventress got straight up destroyed when she fought Mace and had to run away, the only reaosn she even got away is ebcause mace had to go back to save some jedi.
Just because Dooku was wise enough to avoid an unnecessary battle that he had a decent chance of losing doesn't mean he was "scared shitless".
You don't have to elevate a favored character at the expense of others.
Hmm...
Didn't Dooku tell Asajj that one of the reason's she wasn't a Sith is because Sith have no fear and he sensed great fear in her? I remember that scene specifically from the old Clone Wars cartoon. I'll see if I can find the clip on my lunchbreak (don't have access to Youtube from here at work).
On the subject of Dooku vs Mace in an episode of the current series Dooku held his own against Windu and Obi Wan Kenobi at the same time, so clearly Windu isn't vastly superior to him.

Using this explanation, Han Solo has ftl reflexes as he dodged a shot from a blaster that travelled across a table (Episode IV with Greeno).I'm gonna have to call shenanigans on that.
solo just blew dude's brains out
The issue isn't whether or not it's politically correct, the issue is that Lucas's meddling makes the event canon. I also hated what he did to the lounge singer on Jaba the Hutt's barge, and especially the ending celebration with the Ewoks at the end of Return of the Jedi. The original scenes were way better (and hilarious as f*ck too. I still remember the original Ewok song). Lucas went way too far with the CGI.
