On Wed, 2 Jun 1999 17:14:09 GMT, Steve Bliss uttered the following
profundities...
The battle droids definitely should have been more menacing.  Or there
should have been two different types of droids: one with the guns, with a
menace-level somewhere between the Destroyer Droids and the Battle Droids,
and another type which would be a scout/officer/human interface type.


Leads me to ask a question....
Why, when the issue of "who started it" was done with (the tanks
started the battle), did the Gungans not attack the droids
when they were being offloaded? Or am I mis-remembering the
battle sequence?

(...) Because they knew they were just stalling for time? Why hasten the battle when your goal is to use up time? I don't like the explanation of "can't fire out through the shields". Who would come up with a defense like that? Steve (25 years ago, 3-Jun-99, to lugnet.starwars)
