Star Wars: The Clone Warsanimated series expanded upon the titular conflict in the space opera franchise that largely went untapped in the prequels era. It followed the Galactic Republic’s tussle with the Separatists through the eyes of the Jedi, the Clone Troopers, and the Senators while also enriching the franchise’s lore.
The series also features the highly entertaining but drastically less sophisticated B1 battle droids. The Separatists primarily used them in their battle against the Jedi. However, the droids also had a fun and sardonic side that goes underappreciated. Some fans recently took to social media to discuss the humor of the B1 droids and made a compelling case for them to get their own show.
Fans RememberStar Wars: The Clone WarsB1 Droids’ Funniest Moments
The B1-series battle droids, otherwise known as clankers or simply battle droids, were first introduced inThe Phantom Menace, directed byGeorge Lucas. They played a larger role inStar Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones. However, the animatedStar Wars: The Clone Warsseries Lucas created alongsideDave Filonias supervising director gave the droids the most screen time.
Fans recently took to Instagram where they discussed some of the funniest moments of the B1 droids in the series. Often able to overwhelm their opponents with their sheer numbers, the droids were otherwise known for their incompetence in judging dangerous situations, leading to some hilarious moments.
User@starwars_sithsshared a post, compiling the funny moments of the droids, with fans chiming in with their favorite moments in the comments. One user recalled the scene where a B1 droid openly voices their disdain for their job, stating “We’re defending the bridge alone? Against the Jedi? I hate this job.”

Another user suggested “Roger Roger”: A Star Wars Story,” as a possible title for the proposed series focusing on the B1 droids based on their most common line of dialog in the series. Furthermore, fans have dedicated an entireReddit threadto appreciating the underrated humor of the B1 droids in theClone Warsseries.
Star Wars: The Clone WarsBattle Droids Would Make a Great Sitcom
The B1 battle droids are not only an integral part oftheClone Warsanimated seriesbut have been an ever-present component of theStar Warsfranchise overall. However, because of the underlying humor in the animated series, fans have grown attached to the droids and demanded they get their own spin-off series.
The prospective spin-off could be a sitcom or even a children’s cartoon with episodes divided into two segments. Given the long-lasting effects of the Clone Wars, a vast variety of narratives could be explored through the droids. As a result, the series could draw inspiration from classic sitcoms such asMAS*HandHogan’s Heroes.

The primary theme for the series could be the effect of war and trauma on droids, which would humanize them while also justifying their sardonic and self-deprecating humor. As proven byAndor, good quality writing, with nuanced exploration and well-established stakes will inevitably draw viewers back to the galaxy far, far away, even if it is to watch some B1 droids blow themselves up in hilarious ways.
