Stars War: The 10 Best Droids, According to Ranker
Boba Fett’s Book—the most recent issue of the star wars universe—features a number of weird but cool droids. These include the kitchen droid, which is as good a cook as it is with knives, and the Scorpenek Annihilator droid, which does an excellent job of outmaneuvering the Mandalorians in battles.
But do these droids rank among the best in the world? star wars Franchise overall? Over the decades, dozens of new droids have been introduced, each deadpan in their own way. However, there are those that fans adore more, and nowhere is the adoration more evident than on Ranker.
ten MSE-6 series repair droid (mouse droid)
Commonly found in Star Destroyers, the Mouse Droid’s duties include cleaning surfaces, repairing machinery, and delivering messages. It was primarily used by the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars.
At first glance, the Mouse Droid looks too basic, but it has a lot of awesome features. Those who own it need not worry about information leaks since the Mouse Droid has the ability to melt away if captured by enemies. He also has a sense of teamwork. Multiple droids can come together in an emergency to perform a single complex task. Additionally, anyone who grows tired of its functionality and appearance can also modify it – which becomes evident during the Yuuzhan Vong War, where these droids are modified to become YVH-M droids.
9 B2-series super battle droid
During the Clone Wars, the Confederation of Independent Systems introduced the B2 as part of their military. This version is much more advanced than the B1.
The B2 is valuable because it can operate on its own. Unlike the B1, it does not require a control system. Plus, its thicker armored casing means it can’t be knocked down or sliced through easily. The wrong side? It has only one processor, which means it cannot formulate strategies on its own. In The MandalorianB2s also have trouble aiming their weapons properly.
8 TO DO
First appeared in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the DO originally belongs to the Ochi of Bestoon. It is said to have been created by a mysterious droid blacksmith.
The main appeal of the DO has to do with the fact that he is a new droid in the franchise who has incredible communication skills. Since he speaks a less complex version of the droid binary, other droids find it easier to understand him. Even more remarkable is his sense of morality. He resents Ochi for his actions and continues to celebrate the end of his reign of terror.
7 IG-100 MagnaGuard
The MagnaGuard becomes popular during the reign of General Grievous. As Supreme Martial Commander of the Separatist Droid armies, he uses a number of MagnaGuards as his personal security during the Clone Wars.
The MagnaGuard shines with its endurance. Even when his head or a limb is severed, he can continue to fight. And with the included electro staff, he can easily block attacks from Jedi lightsabers. Not to mention that he can also pilot a Starfighter. But above all, the most impressive thing about MagnaGuards is their penchant for tag-teaming. Because they like to duo in combat, defeating them is nothing more than a dream for many heroic characters.
6 BB-8
Originating from the planet Hosnian Prime, the BB-8 was born 30 years after the Battle of Endor. Its most notable owner is Poe Dameron.
While a good number of private droids tend to be shy, BB-8 stands out for being brave. On several occasions, he put his own life on the line to save others, saving Poe a total of 3 times. Speaking in 27th Generation Code, a compressed binary form, his speech also led to some comedic moments as fans saw him making other characters laugh and smile. This droid was definitely one of the best things to come out of the sequel trilogy.
5 L3-37
The L3-37 frequently accompanies Lando Calrissian on his travels. L3-37 differs from other droids in many ways, including being an activist who fights for droid rights.
She’s also a fairly independent droid as she doesn’t rely on others to build or fix it. As a self-assembled droid, L3-37 is known to make modifications to her body using the remains of other droids.
4 Droideka
The Droideka battle droid is used by the Trade Federation during the invasion of Naboo and, also, by the powerful Confederacy of Independent Systems. He is programmed to kill his enemies.
The Droideka’s ability to improvise is what impresses fans of the franchise. Depending on the task at hand, he can roll into a ball and roll at speeds of up to 75 km/h or use his 3 legs to move around. And since he comes with his own shield generators, launching an attack against him is quite a difficult task. The shield is only a problem for enemies because the Droideka itself can shoot through it.
3 IG-88
IG-88 is known throughout the galaxy as an assassin and bounty hunter. Due to its dangerousness, it has been banned in many parts of the galaxy.
What makes the IG-88 so deadly is the sheer variety of weapons it possesses. From a DAS-430 Neural Inhibitor to a vibrating “butcher’s blade”, there’s never a shortage of something to use on the attack. Since he has a mind of his own, IG-88 also turned out to be a schemer. He is responsible for planning the droid revolution where droids of all kinds were influenced to try and take over the galaxy.
2 K-2S0
Originally created as a security droid to serve the Galactic Empire. the K-2S0 ends up being reprogrammed by Captain Cassian Andor and switches allegiance to the Resistance. At the battle of Scarif, he sacrifices himself for Andor.
The majority of droids in the galaxy are emotionless, but K-2S0 is shown to be in touch with his feelings. He switches effortlessly between being sarcastic and stoic. Thanks to his “nonsense detector”, he likes to disobey orders he thinks are foolish. But his insubordination isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it tends to make him an entertaining droid.
1 IG-11
IG-11 serves as an assassin during the New Republic era and he is programmed to follow the bounty hunter guild.
Thanks to his marvelous exploits in The Mandalorian, it’s no surprise that the IG-11 is a fan favorite. Since its body cannot be damaged by turret fire, the IG-11 likes to throw itself into danger, knowing there won’t be much harm. Thanks to its boldness, action scenes involving the IG-11 felt more wholesome.
