Forum:KB:Droid Army

Sorry if this discussion has been started somewhere else, but I couldn't find it.

Why has the driod army never appeared in Star Wars after the shutdown of the units by Skywalker/Vader during the ROTS? I remember Palpatine ordering him to tell the units to shut down, but doesn't anyone think that some sort of smuggling or otherwise "outside" agency would try and bring to technology back to use?

Especially if these droid ships and battle cruisers are just lying dead in space somewhere.

The page only reflects cannon, but I think it would be an interesting storyline to approach. Is anyone aware of any attempts at this?
