A bunch of rusty old battle droids are supposed to be a serious threat? And weren't they all permanently shut down in Episode III? They don't run independently like OT era droids.
The battle droids are being... hatched from Geonosian eggs... I don't know how the hell that works so don't ask. The Geonosian queen treats them like her children too... and they pose no threat, black R2-D2 kills them in 2 frames. I'm not really sure what the importance of the quest was but it was fun and strange
