The Movies

Unlike the spindly battle droid s, whose humanoid builds allow them a degree of versatility, droideka s are designed with one sole function in mind: the complete annihilation of their targets.

Expanded Universe

The bloodthirsty, cannibalistic insectoids of Colla IV designed the droideka in their own frightening image. The Colicoids crafted the destroyers as an answer to the design limitations of Baktoid Combat Automata's simple battle droid s.

Behind the Scenes

Throughout production, the droideka s were referred to as destroyer droids. It was not until post-production that the term "droideka" was introduced, and dialogue was altered to reflect this change.
