But these are junk shops and garbage piles we're talking about. This scene makes it look like everything onscreen is seconds away from the fire. Why would it take them that long to melt the battle droids from 20 years ago? Heck, I bet that whole facility was built AFTER the Clone Wars...
The one added to the sandcrawler scene was enough. Subtle. Lucas has lost all sense of subtlty, there's no need to copy him in all his mistakes! These are recycled props... so there's no need to turn that into IG-88, and make Zuckuss sitting there smoking a cigar and reading the Bespin Times.
Personally I saw enough Battle droids in the prequels. Why do I need to spend the rest of the OT seeing them lying around?
Is Adywan the next George Lucas that he needs a "trademark" to drop into every fan edit like the overused THX-1138 or "I have a bad feeling about this"?
*tears* Leave Britney... I mean... the Battle Droids, ALONE! PLEASE!
