    its my understanding that the war droids have a number of servers broadcasting to each unit, so the ‘mind’ of a droid is never destroyed. all the war droids have big antennas and stuff, if they ever lose connection they just stop working

      That was before/during Episode 1, hence why Anakin blowing up the droid control ship shut down all the droids on the planet.

      After that the CIS “fixed” the problem by also giving the droids a rudimentary local intelligence. Can’t remember if they still take orders from a central source in optimal conditions, but yeah…

      Wait what? They do? Cause it’s demonstrably proven in the films and clone wars tv series that to communicate orders in battle they do so verbally. Which also makes that communication thing anakin blows up seem odd. Actually yeah, come to think of it mid post. It’s both. Star Wars is silly as hell.
