It was a nice addition, and I like that it's a fully established weapon as well.

@@Timberwolf69 While we can debate our relatively small world Morales vs a fictional galaxy, Alderaan did have a small population. That in itself isn't justification for its destruction, but for a moment consider; anyone who was even remotely loyal to the Empire could of spoke out about treason to the Galactic Empire (Which would of spared the entire populace vs a handful of people in local government power), government that forgetting the meta information the viewers of the movie knows, was actually democratically voted for as reformation. We only dislike the Empire due to that meta knowledge we contain, but unironically Star Wars is art that imitates reality. If you dislike the Empire, you should dislike a lot of politics that people agree with, and go alongside each day. The success of the Empire and its propaganda, like all real life nations use today...would have the average person believe the Rebel are terrorists. Many in the core worlds, as well as outer rim actually see it that way as well. Hence why until the destruction of Alderaan, they were a small fringe band. Due to the destruction of Alderaan, kind of a mistep for the Empire in the long run, the Rebels were able to spin that as their own undeniable propaganda. To each their own, but this saga is one part religious war, vs ideology war in which Good and Evil are honestly in all actualities just shades of grey in comparison to warcrimes in the past before the "Galactic Civil War" period, very tame in fact.

[@4mobius280]

There's so much subtle storytelling in this piece. The way the Star Destroyer jumps out right at the start, suggesting that it has Other Chores Today. The way that two TIE Vigilants are assigned to escort the shuttle--probably dispatched from the Star Destroyer to escort the shuttle to its rendezvous with six sentry ships from Lancer Base, and prepared to jump back into hyperspace and rejoin their carrier in a few minutes (or, perhaps they even transferred with the shuttle FROM Larsa to a deep space rendezvous with the ISD, and are simply completing their run and will return to their home planet after). Two of the regular TIEs break off to intercept and inspect the Convor, leaving the Vigilants to march on with their charge. The way the Corvette IMMEDIATELY shifts from stealth mode to full combat mode--turning guns and spewing ships in seconds. It's a perfect illustration of how Rebel hit-and-run tactics caused the Empire so much trouble--all in under five minutes of time.

[@yester8039]

I kinda get the point but for five minutes, taking into account the shuttle was transporting VIP's the ISD would not have left the area, that modified CR-90 woudl have been spotted way way sooner or if coming from hyperspace, an alert would alert the combat station, on top of that the station would probably decimate the corvette in seconds with the heavy turbolasers

[@swan3swan]

@@yester8039 The ISD had stuff to do--it probably just picked them up as a convenience before moving on to its actual rendezvous. The shuttle met its escort fighters, which meant it was safe...it wasn't like a rebel corvette would be flying up through a storm on the surface orpretending to be an orbital satellite...and if there was one, it surely wouldn't be able to carry a bunch of fighters that would allow it to take out the fighter escort and strike at the shuttle.

But with how effective the forward guns we're shown are, it gives the impression that the corvette could have easily taken on the station and that the battle was ended arbitrarily.

Personally, I love when Star Wars has Different Weapons. There's fifty thousand different cultures out there, and billions of celestial bodies that can all contribute some different resource or technological pathway. Give me Martian Heat Rays, Samus's arm cannon, phasers, rail guns, and that really cool spinny-rapid-fire-energy-beam-wheel from The Iron Giant...just tweak it a little to make it Star Wars, and maybe say "It requires Twizzlerite, which can only be made from the crystallized skeletons of this extinct species on this planet way over here."

Unleashing their full firepower cleared a path for them to vector onto a hyperspace jump and be out less than a minute after engaging. Get in, hit your target, get out. No holding back... Also, the Golan station's shields, armor, and weaponry were FAR beyond what the Atgar weapons would have been able to match. They could have disrupted a few decks, maybe, but the return fire would have ravaged the Convor.

I honestly don't see why turbolasers aren't ditched for miniaturized super lasers. Wouldn't it be more ideal for the warships in Star Wars to carry the same amount of guns as the gun only warships that came before guided missiles, than to carry the same load out as age of sail warships?

[@garettcastle2335]

CR90 modified into a full fledged attack ship and not just an armed civilian freighter. Nice! 👌

[@zachpayne3572]

It's actually the CR110 from youtuber ECHenry who found it in like 2 background shots in episode 6. He made this full beautiful 3D model, and came up with some fun little headcannon since Star wars IP essentially forgot this amazing ship

[@pepperedash4424]

The CR90 was never an armed freighter. You're thinking of the Millennium Falcon being an armed civilian YT-1300 light freighter.

[@aaronwright8252]

That was some of the BEST Star Wars I've seen in a while! Well done!

[@hunterwilson781]

I love the hit and run feel. It’s so perfect for the rebel tactics

[@swan3swan]

I saw the blue engines and I went "Wait, is that a--???" And then I saw the front of the corvette and screamed "IT IS!!!" Then I spent several points saying "Do the Atgar thing! DO THE ATGAR THING!" And when it did the Atgar Thing, I was STILL not prepared for how amazing it would be.

[@lungrisser]

what is the Atgar thing?

[@generalantilles2586]

@@lungrisser that Corvette is a fan design by EC Henry. It's based on a different silhouette of a corellian looking Corvette in the background of episode 6. It is called the CR 110. Watch his video on it it's very interesting

[@joshuasitzema9920]

@@lungrisser Basically a Corvette designed to KILL ships bigger than it. While not the most well armored or shielded of ships, it still causes a lot of pain for single patrol ships or hit and fade runs like this

Frackin' Awesome! The way the A-wings deployed and those forward lasers. WOW! Excellent work

epic. wasn't expecting the A Wings drop and the Death Star lasers. nice. very nice.

Solid looking character models, a Golan space station, great voice acting, amazing A-wing launch system and against all odds the Gozanti-class is still trying it's best. A fine upload indeed.

[@dellmcl001]

Awesome work! I truly appreciate the effort put into this fan film. Well done on all fronts!

[@thepaladinauthoryoutube]

Amazing! The angle on that A-wing launch gave me a rollercoaster drop thrill. And those lasers look like refurbished tributary beam cannons like those seen on Republic SPHA-T tanks and LAAT gunships. I can totally see the Alliance repurposing them for space warfare. Keep up the amazing work, all of ya!

[@thegheymerz6353]

You guys really get the look of practical effects nailed. Even the explosions are reminiscent of the blue screen effects from the original trilogy. Thanks so much for what you do.

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

The bow guns on the corvette were bad-ass !!! 😎👍

[@PotentiallyAndy]

That was really good. Thank you for the time you put into it. I like the beam weapons

[@jamesgemperline4908]

Loved the addition of animated character models delivering dialogue instead of only voiceovers, they looked and moved great too!

[@captainsinclair7954]

Those A-wings coming out from underneath the corvette gave me goosebumps. SkyForge, you and EC Henry should be hired by Lucasfilm some day!

Well done. Excellent special effects. Nailed the tone of the original films with an updated Rogue One combat polish. Cheers for the effort!

[@moffant4916]

Awesome. Didn't know corvettes had those kind of lasers. Linking this to all my nerd friends.

[@1forge2rulethemall88]

The corvett here is a fan interpritation of a background ship in ROTJ called the cr-110 by fans. its a bit bigger in some dimensions so they had fun adding their own specifications and firepower to it.

[@sethb3090]

This feels like it's borrowing from some of the Empire at War mods too, I know Awakening of the Rebellion has added a fair number of composite beam cannons recently

[@h4nxs]

This is amazing. I fell in love with Star Wars due to the game TIE-Fighter back in DOS days and therefore I really enjoy this kind of space skirmish scenes. Thanks so much to all who were involved with the making of this and the other videos. Great work!

[@samschellhase8831]

Everyone is (rightfully) going on about the A-wing launch, where I’m still in awe over the beam lasers on the corvette! In noticed the radar dishes on the front and thought ‘those look different’ and I’m glad to see them used!!

[@palmereldrich]

It had my heart racing!! What an awesome movie clip, lets see more!

[@mr.sniffles7268]

What is so impressive to me about your work is the fact that you are able to produce such high quality animations and a fair amount of footage in such a short amount of time (at least a relatively short time by industry standards). I was really impressed by the piolets that were animated, I thought they were actors for a second. They voice acting wasn't too shabby either. I can only imagine what this channel would create if it had access to the resources of a major studio. Overall, really enjoying your content and hope to see more in the future

[@robertwhatley9861]

Wow that was one sweet surprise after another! I felt immersed in the story right away. loved the A-wing launch, and the modified tie and corvette. Definitely the kind of strategy you'd expect the rebels to use! Great out of the box thinking!👏

An exceptionally well produced short. I could quibble about the corvette having a form of beam weaponry that doesn't exist in SW canon, but it was all so professionally put together that I wouldn't dream of it. 😉 Seriously, though, congratulations on some truly excellent work. ❤

Ok look, here's what's refreshing about this. First, the director's attention to detail, including the opening music starting after "a long time ago..." Second, A-wings are an interceptor class, and that's what they did here, and that's freakin awesome. Third, the Rebels actually win a fight, pay attention Abrams. And fourth? Pfft. Nose cannons, nuff said.
