Battle droids sound so stupid!

BS about children not being able to understand things. When you act like they're dumb, kids will be dumb. I read the Hobbit when I was 8, and thats a lot more complex than this and I didn't understand it totally but I understood the story and what was happening and had a real emotional connection to the characters, and felt the sadness when someone died, etc. As I thought about it as I aged I grew to understand it more. It was great to be able to read something again, recall the childlike feelings, and then as an adult dig into the meat of it without being embarassed by some childish ploy to keep my attention contained in the book.

Kids can be capable of understanding complex stories just fine, unless we patronize them and dilute the plot. Though, most adults are that dumb too apparently cause they change great titles of movies from something like "Imperial Life in the Emerald City" to something even more thirlling: "Green Zone". Cause you see, then the person looking at the poster can say "OH I get it, the Green Zone must be in Iraq, I remember Wolf Blitzer saying something about that last night, just before he pulled out the sock puppet to cheer us up after we learned about some more American dead".

What am I trying to say? I dunno, nothing that anyone cares about. Here, try this out. Make your kids read. Not only is it better for them than TV but the Star Wars books are way better than the new movies anyway. XD

To me the battle droids sound so human. Too human.

What is the point of creating incompetent hordes of mindless battle drones that are not people and thus can be destroyed without any guilt and then depicting them as wanting to live and having almost as much emotion as any of the clone warriors or any of the other characters and thus being people who can not be killed without guilt?.

What is the point in making the faceless hordes of the "forces of evil" funny and likable and then showing the "good guys" slaughtering them without remorse? Either there's incompetent storytelling here, or it is a diabolical plot to toughen up the child viewers to get them used to fictional and eventually real violence, or possibly this is part of some deep plan to eventually produce a change of feelings in the viewers.
