When Padmé and 3PO get caught in a battle between the Republic and Dooku’s Separatists, the senator is forced to contact the Republic. No one’s crazy enough to do that.” (TCW: S01E04: Destroy Malevolence) The complete fools should know what to do if they’re flying a ship as big as the Malevolence. In just the second episode of The Clone Wars, the Battle Droids who are piloting General Grievous’ flagship the Malevolence ask what they should they do about the three Republic Cruisers coming towards them. What should we do?” (TCW: S01E02: Rising Malevolence) When Yoda takes out a squad of droids singlehandedly, he also defeats one who claims it just got a promotion before the Grand Master takes out its tank. It’s hard to take a battle droid seriously when he’s just going to get cut down anyway. “But I just got promoted!” (TCW S01E01: Ambush)

Another calls the one who spoke, a bucket head, exclaiming the life form was the Jedi Ventress mentioned earlier. When a squad of the idiotic bots see Yoda bouncing through the trees, one states the obvious.

Some battle droids are smarter than others. “Look! A little green life form!” (TCW S01E01: Ambush) They tell her they aren’t worried because they can kill him.

She tells them Yoda is small and green and has a lightsaber. Unimpressed, the assassin ignites her lightsabers, threatening to cut them down herself. When Ventress tells the droids to kill Yoda, they ask what he looks like. Most battle droids don’t survive long enough to see what their Jedi opponents look like. “Ah… what does he look like?” (TCW S01E01: Ambush)

Nothing says stupidity more than battle droids during the Clone Wars era.
