Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) - "Activate the Droids" scene [1080p]

Ouch time

Now this....but cyberdyne system modle T-101

I never noticed until now but why is a random field of grass far outside the city perfectly cut and manicured?

Given that AI pilots now can beat the best human pilots in dogfight simulations, sci-fi may want to reconsider showing humans winning by appealing to nonsense like "the Force". The Sarah Conner Chronicles TV series makes a more realistic assumption that AI will need to be employed to beat AI.

This must be where the inspiration for the battle of wakanda in infinity war came from

Damn feels weird seeing them without the personalities they developed during the clone was

“Oh boy R0-GR, we’re intimidating”
“Will this continue to The Clone Wars”
“Don’t get your hopes up”
“Roger Roger”

The centralized system battle droids are so much scarier and dangerous than the independent system battle droids.

Ashoka will blow this movie away, it goes back to the original

Republic comando made me respct those guys

On one hand i enjoyed the goofy battle droids voices in the animated versions, on the other hand this was the moment that droids were actually terrifying

This scene is easily one of the best in star wars. Amazing sound design with a legitamatly scary army activation and march

Temp people

Dont know why they made rhem soo goofy after

"Ouch time" indeed

theyve done my boys dirty since ‘05

The droids seem to be portrayed as more of a serious threat than they are in later films

When you first see Droids in Star Wars you think theye are strong






















After 1h Bro i can kill Droid i hit with hand in rl

I love the Clone Wars, but I've always missed how the droids felt in the Phantom Menace. They weren't used as comic relief, they had robotic voices, and they didn't speak often, because they don't really need to.

The OG B1 voice was actually intimidating. I miss it.

The time when the droids are badass

I've always loved this scene since seeing it on the big screen...

Windows XP desktop was crazy back in the day.

ah yes, the best terrain to display the advantages of hover tanks was the Windows XP background. not a single obstacle in sight.

How is it that satisfying

The only time the droids were scary.

I wish they kept with the ep1 droid voices, instead of making them goofy and chatty......the ep1 droid voices were so awesome!

The problem with the modern star wars films is there isn't enough Jar Jar Binks. He should be the main character of the next one and the one after that.

Imagine how much more chaotic it would’ve been with air support. Good thing the vulture droids were too busy up in orbit.

If jar jar weren't in it this scene would be so bad ass

I love how they march in rhythm to the music

"Acteevate thee droids"

Ouch time......
