But somehow the empire can build 2 star destroyer planetoids in like 2 generations, second of which can suck up a star for power in 15 min?? I mean I know this is all fiction and shit but if you apply any logic to any of this shit it all falls apart at the seams.

But you need to design, provision, and pay for robots that make space widgets for genocidal death machines you want to make in secret.
Prisoners? Not so much. Just need murder floors and chocolate flavoring.

In the movie SOLO robots were being used as slave labor as well. Remember in the mines? Where Lando's robot freed them all?

Are you just trying to get me to say I didn't watch Solo? Because I didn't watch Solo.

LOL if you have enough moneys to make prison labor camps to make widgets for a star destroyer planetoid, a few thousand dumb robots would be no problem for an "empire" that owns most of the galaxy.

They were using specifically anti-Empire prisoners as free labor. That's it. They can't mass murder their opposers (until they start to) so they lock them away. Then you have 10,000's of people, maybe millions. What do you do? You use them. The whole "people are better than robots" thing is kind of dumb, but robots are expensive as fuck considering you have free labor right there anyways.

Well, if you want to keep that question open, I'm sure Gilroy and D+ would be happy to elaborate on it. Pretty sure it's gonna play a role in the forthcoming seasons. Personally, I think it's an elegant way to answer how the Empire managed to build the Geonosian design in secret.

Again, we here on earth have top secret projects, like the latest B21 bomber they just revealed. This shit was prob going on for the better part of a decade and thousands if not tens of thousands of people were used to build it make parts for it and yet it remained a secret. Again, its called compartmentalization.

The point is that its free labor from dissenters. It doesn't matter if robots would do it better or not. If they're going to house and feed prisoners they might as well make them work as well.
Also I'm retarded. I missed the part at the end (was it post credits?) that showed what they were making. I thought it was some type of joist for the Tie Fighters. But looking back that's pretty stupid.

Yeah it was post-credits. Worth going back to see it tbh. The last shot could've made for a great poster for the show.

its hilarious arguing about efficiency and costs in an IP/movie/show where they build a ridiculously oversized laser to destroy planets, and have zero problems rebuilding the whole stupid thing when one dude destroys the first one in a single fighter ship.
in a space religion sense you could say just as the Jedi "vibe" off positive energy from the force/life, maybe The Emperor feeds off human suffering somehow, similar to the God Emperor in WH40k
I didn't think about it but Krennic has to be in season 2 of Andor, that'll be pretty awesome

Size does not matter if you have star drive and an entire galaxy to hide it.
