The battle droid voices from Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, The Clone Wars, and all the video games had very different voices than each other. So why did they change? And what's the significance of the change? Join me for a deep dive into these interesting questions of the Star Wars universe.

    I like the idea that a voice speaker is just a mass produced part that by the end of the war the CIS just installed whatever they had on hand. Hence the different voices.

    I like the super battle droid voice from Republic commando a lot it doesn't sound silly.
  • @XDude615
    That B2 didn’t shove that B1. The B2 straight up became Grievous and punched that B1.
  • @artexjay
    Battlefront 2 is actually silent, thats the commander telling you whats going on the battlefield.
  • @cereal1208
    but, they speak in the first episode of the clone wars, ambush, b2 gets lifted by yoda and starts blasting his own
  • It isn’t even about how they sound, but even moreso about how they use vocabulary. You can hear the Republic Commando droids being more blunt and official in their talking when compared to the RotS speech, who are more comedic; it is not just about the pitch of their voices.
  • I always thought because Battle Droids are usually destroyed and reused, some voices probably uses some B1 voice components especially earlier before the Supers were employed in AOTC with the Battlefront 2004 to BF II 2005 game and ROTS, especially when it's usually Dooku in-command

    The super battledroids did have a voice in that one episode with commander thire in his phase 1 gear "im having a serious malfunction get out of the way" or smth he says and its a deeper voice
  • Ik most won’t agree with me but I much preferred the robotic voices like from The Phantom Menace, it was very realistic sounding and sometimes intimidating, even
  • I like the DEEP version from Clint young. I like it more because when I see a B2 battle droid it looks like it sounds like a deep and more scary than a B1 droid
  • @laughingjojo5100
    The republic commando one sounds like a bayverse decepticon lmao
  • 2:57 You should definitely Battlefront II (2017). It’s a lot better now than it was back when it was first released.
  • OHHHHHH!!! I wondered why they had a voice in the games!!!! I like the deeper voices for the Super Droids
  • @BOATIE141
    The way I see it the battle droids all have different vocal variety, during times of conflict the droids become more militarized hence their much deeper more robotic vocalization.
  • @XDude615
    Whenever Clint said “meat bags” I knew I was gonna be screwed. But I’m a little confused on why they didn’t use Clint’s intimidating voice for the B2 in the Phantom Menace.
  • @Gojirawars03
    Clone Wars voices were always a good middle ground to me. They could be kind of intimidating in some situations, and kinda funny in others.
  • @mw9688
    They should have mixed them. Have one with the new voice and one with the high. Have them bounce off eachother.
