2:23 If you pay close attention, when B1 hits R2 in the head with the blaster, T-1 looks at the droid somewhat surprised, as if to say, "Whoa, hold on dude."
I feel even worse for the B1s now. First they’re treated like useless fodder, now they can have their minds entirely wiped and reprogrammed to serve their enemy. Imagine being a soldier at war, you’re kidnapped, the enemy plugs something into your head, and within seconds, all you want to do is fight your own home nation.
The fuck did Anakin want to just sacrifice them like that? He knows that they weren’t even gonna last a second. Them dying didn’t even do anything to slow down the droids!
