Constructing a battle station the size of a small moon with the power to destroy planets was a ruinously expensive endeavour for the Empire. And that meant cuts in other areas of Empire's army to pay for it. Those droids aren't cheap; do you have any idea how many credits each one costs? Something had to give to balance the Empire's budget, and having a huge army of stormtroopers had the bonus of keeping down unemployment in the Empire.
Plus the privatsation of the military meant that fiscal policy shifted to maximize dividends to shareholders.
Bump as yet another reason why the prequel trilogy is an abomination has come to mind.
Some of the technology seen in the prequels is far more advanced and deadly than what we saw in the original and sequel trilogies, in particular these battle droids complete with deflector shields
Lucas will always deserve massive credit for the universe he delivered, but apart from the highly irritating repeated tweakings of the original trilogy, and the soul destroying disappointment the prequel trilogy turned out to be, how on earth could he think introducing advanced almost indestructible hardware on a prequel story can be credible?
One of those droids is worth a hundred stormtroopers, and would have wiped out the rebel troops on every infantry battle seen in the original and sequel trilogies. They would have certainly minced Han, Leia and those fucking Ewoks before they’d had a chance to get anywhere near the shield generator. Why the fuck would the Empire decommission them?
And yet the prequel trilogy is still better than the new sequels.Bump as yet another reason why the prequel trilogy is an abomination has come to mind.

Andor S2 is said to have completed principal photography. No word yet on release date. The hope is Nov/Dec this year, otherwise Spring next year. That is the one product I and most people are really looking forward to, seeing as it is arguably the best SW content not just of the Disney era but since the original trilogy. Or to be more precise, since The Empire Strikes Back.

I remember seeing Domhnall Gleeson being interviewed once, he said he really really wanted his character's (General Hux) coat, and when he turned up for the last day of filming, the coat had been removed so he never got to nick itHe had the good sense to steal every prop not nailed down though right?
Is that actually he?
What, you want actual wars in Star Wars? Pfff!
