OOM-9 Kit Idea

I never even realised this character existed. I just thought some droids were designated officers with the yellow. I didn't recognize that maybe the officer droid in more than one scene might be the same droid.

Didn't really make sense to me with the droid controller ship thing anyway. Why have one droid on the ground yelling things when they must have commands being fed from the controller ship? I just thought they were trying to make them seem more relatable by having a command structure visible. Still one of the worst battle scenes in any movie, ever.

No, the worst done battle scene in Star Wars was Geonosis with the Clones lining up Revolutionary war style which actually come to think of it is the majority of clone battles. OOM-9 used high ground, tested the strength of the shields, and sent in the B1s to take down the shield generators. Once they were down he wiped out most of the remaining army with his tanks

OOM-9 won, and showed greater understanding of basic tactics than most armies in Star Wars.

Having a commander on the ground makes a great deal of sense, the commander can alter plans on the fly without waiting for the automated ship Ai or controllers aboard it to make a tactical decision, a commander can communicate to the enemy/people on the ground, and more. If you lose the commander you still have the droid control ship, but if you lose the ship you lose the army, this is why its a good idea to have both capable of existing together apart from one another, that way the army can sustain loses rather than having a single point of failure. This is exactly what happened in the OOM-9 campaign in the old strategy game Galactic Battlegrounds



And ultimately with all the fantastical or strange things that exist in Star Wars, will you really draw the line here? Especially when its something that gives more depth to a primary enemy faction, its no different than the clones having personalities and development of their own
