who are better: clone troopers(Republic) or battle droids( Seperatists (Page 1 of 2)

Definetely, and I like them better, but there is another topic for this--try to check for that first.

Hard to say, since both armies were merely pawns in a grand shceme outside the war itself.

So, let's take a look at the events AFTER the Clone Wars ended...

~Soldiers for The Clone Army of the Republic went on to become known as "Stormtroopers", feared and dreaded as they bumped into door hatches throughout the galaxy.

~Droids went on to become bartenders, butlers, doctors and mechanics for the most part, fetching meager prices from the Jawas and generally looked down upon by hillbilly moisture farmers... although I wouldn't mind owning a few Droidekas and IG Lancers for my own questionable purposes.

For the record, I think revan07's topic, while very similar to the linked thread included, is more "topic specific" for the ideas I would like to post. The discussion on the other thread easily devolves into a discussion about how specific a particular idea can be (Organic in general vs. Mechanical in general, as opposed to Republic Clones vs. Separtist Droids in the war). My viewpoint fits better here, I think. I have ideas that are posted in that thread as well, for that discussion. But this is just me. The moderators can decide, it wouldn't bother me.

Now, in response to the decommisioned Battle Droids, you are correct. I should have worded my response more clearly... let's see if I can sum this up better.

~Clones became Stormtroopers. They were kept in service after the war and gained a fearsome reputation within the Empire.

~Battle Droids were decommisioned, and the idea of using them for wartime was largely abandoned. Droids were relegated largely to the service industry once more. They make better butlers than soldiers.

The Emperor controlled both sides of the chess board, and seeming placed little value on the Separatist Droids from the start. The Clones would destroy the Jedi and serve the Emperor. The Droids would simply be turned off and scrapped after fulfilling their purpose in his scheme. He never intended the Droids to be anything but cannon fodder for the war.

Still... it's hard for me to imagine that there wasn't a room full of Droidekas stored SOMEWHERE on the Death Star. Those things were badass, man.

except droidekas........

but they were fairly rare, despite how numerous they are in battlefront. So they're less of a problem.

clones. they can aim.

Really? Have you watched the Original Trilogy lately?

I agree with you Fett_II.Empire is much different than Grand army of Republic.

The answer to this question is so obvious that Im not even going to say it.

While the DROIDS were superior in many ways to the CLONES:

They could aim better

Were fearless

Able to fight until destroyed or deactivated

Immune to fatigue and illness

All that said, they were inferior in that they did not have in their core the intellect and heart of warriors, only a preprogrammed set of algorhythyms approaching intelligence. 

Tech will always lose to the heart and inguneity of man, over time.

This is a little off topic but Viking I absolutely love your signature!! Very honorable.
I think clones are better. Imagination is a warrior's most important weapon, and the droids don;t have it.

droids and their faulty programming cause them to confuse a twig with a Republic soldier. and Viking, Stormtroopers were cloned off the many people who joined the Empire Army, to increase their numbers.

Stormtroopers are actually not clones, not by the time of the OT. They were recruited or pressganged. (as Viking1 said)

"but when they were meant to kill them they were acurate(Tantine IV and endor)"-revan07

However, they still got pwned by a bunch of teddy bears.
