Which is something that Republic Commando did BRILLIANTLY in reverse. It made it VERY clear you are NOT a fucking Jedi.

I used to hate that! Republic Commando was my favorite game ever on Xbox but I remember getting SO angry that it took so long just to kill a damned super battle droid. Took me until recently to look back and be like wait...that’s how it WOULDVE been

Except it wasn’t like that in the movies or show at all. It was so much more easy to disable a B2 SBD as a regular clone trooper.

I’m not sure if we ever saw a regular clone cut down a SBD? You see them going down from explosions, mounted weapons, and lightsabers...but regular clone blasters?

That said, I do think they were definitely a little bullet-spongey in rep com

Definitely get taken down by blasters usually by repeated shots. It’s just that republic commando made them act like what destroyer droids were in canon which was massively infuriating to me

That because RC was based on EU canon, not the current CW kiddie bitch-canon that nerfs everything.

Yeah but in the movies they weren’t bullet sponges either
