C-3P0 got mind wiped in RotS, though he seems prone to picking up quirks, being that he was not an off the line model.<br /><br />Also according to the now defunct EU, thousands of years ago there was a droid uprising, and after it was put down, restraining bolts and the mind wiping process were implemented to keep them in line.<br /><br />As for the Battle Droids, I would say garbage in garbage out. Their creators were probably arrogant and thought they were smarter than they were, and their product reflects that.Hradekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953141319846423669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-84054620144879218692015-12-21T14:26:43.722-05:002015-12-21T14:26:43.722-05:00@Jez - That's a good idea!@Jez - That's a good idea!Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-23919244190440163082015-12-21T14:26:17.547-05:002015-12-21T14:26:17.547-05:00The battle droids are just as much "in univer...The battle droids are just as much "in universe" as any other, so you'd have to give a compelling reason to discount them. We can look at another explain in the entire series: C-3PO. He lies (perhaps even self-deceives), gets irritated, and projects his errors onto others. That's a lot of baggage to purposely build into a robot.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-3501311693520066532015-12-21T13:01:52.744-05:002015-12-21T13:01:52.744-05:00The battle droids were stupid and arrogant because...The battle droids were stupid and arrogant because George Lucas thought it was funny.
