[@casbot71]

If only the Empires procurement department was like that, they would've won - Imperial X-Wings (well the Tie Defender) would've been a game changer. It's military strategy 101 to learn from and if possible copy the effective strategies _and equipment_ that the enemy employs against you. They have a better tank/aircraft/gun… copy the design.

[@orangeapplekiwi6795]

I know, one of the greatest military leaders in all of Star Wars. Good thing he lived a long a successful career and didn't die because of a single tie fighter attacking a ship with barely and weapons.

[@khadenallast4495]

@@casbot71 I disagree with your assertion about the X-wing/TIE Defender being a game changer. The only thing the X-wings were arguably better at was survivability, otherwise they were relatively evenly matched in both speed and firepower (the TIEs certainly didn't seem to have trouble keeping up or shooting them down in the Battle of Yavin or Battle of Endor). Slap some shields on them and rework the design so that it can properly land and has tilt wings so that more of them can fit in a hangar, and you'd have the perfect fighter for the Empire. Remember you can't chase someone through hyperspace, so the TIEs really didn't need hyperdrives or the like since they were launched from ISDs anyway.

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

I loved this from Isard's Revenge. That Ackbar directly learned from his experiences with Thrawn and then used that knowledge against Krennal was a delight to see. One note though Eck, Krennal was not aware the attack was coming, he was mobilizing for a raid on Coruscant, which is why he had more forces at his capital at the time Ackbar arrived.

I'm starting to see the pattern to Ackbar. First he learns from Tarkin, now Thrawn. He's not the best at innovating new tactics, but he's good at picking other people's stuff up and using it in new ways.

[@TheMaverick454]

That’s how you become a tactician. You study your peers yet form your own plans

[@VegetaLF7]

@@TheMaverick454 Exactly. If Thrawn were alive he'd no doubt approve of the use of the tactic and compliment Ackbar on his strategy. Just blindly following protocol is a losing formula, but finding what works (even if it came from the enemy's own tactics) and adapting it to fit your needs is the sign of a great leader.

[@josesanchezrodriguez1783]

Like Thrawn himself says: A great tactician creates plans. A good tactician recognizes the soundness of a plan presented to him. A fair tactician must see the plan succeed before offering approval. Those with no tactical ability at all may never understand or accept it.

[@robertdrexel2043]

I think there is a good bit of Thrawn's view on Ackbar at the beginning of the book which opens with the Battle of Bilbringi from the point of view of Corran Horn though that was from a bit of third-person view through that of Corran as he reading the sensor data on what is going with the battle. Also I think there is a bit of Thrawn's Point of View of the battle in both the Last Command novel and that of the Last Command comic where he observes the New Republic Fleet exiting Hyperspace he mentions something about Ackbar during that.

[@jigolocana7492]

He happened across Isard's Revenge, saw it said X-Wing on it and bought it for me. I didn't care that it was book 8, it was awesome all the same. Of course it eventually led me to pick up the rest of the X-Wing series and further fueled my passion for the Star Wars EU, culminating in me basically reading about 95% of everything it had to offer.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Hmm... Basically, everyone thought Isard was dead thanks to the ending battle of the Bacta War book. Thanks in part to having someone else piloting the shuttle that everyone thought she was on thanks to the trick of using said shuttle as a relay for her communications with that of the pursuing units of Rogue Squadron. Hence, she was alive but was known to be dead. Eck just should have worded that better I think.

If I recall correctly, while the Prince Admiral was humanocentric, he was actually welcoming to the idea of having a Quarren fight for him that he believed was eager to spill Mon Calamari blood.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Correct. The Quarren in question is Nrin Vakil a former Rogue Squadron pilot who joined the Rogues as the pilot of a Recon X-Wing and later joins the Rogues in masquerading as the TIE Defender Squadron Requiem. That line is quite ironic since the reason he left Rogue Squadron in the first place was due to the death of Rogue PIlot Ibtisam, a Mon Calamari, who was quite close to Nrin. It was even more ironic in that Ibtisam died on Ciutric IV the last time Rogue Squadron was on the planet and now they were once more on the planet but in the guise of Imperial pilots.

I think there was a quote from Sun Tzu, but I think it has something to do with “learn from your enemy.” You know if Thrawn survive until the end of the war, he could make his own art of war book. It will be called, “Thrawn’s art of war.”

[@SciFiDeepDive]

Such a creative work around to not having an interdictor! Is it just me or are the tactics used in the Galactic Civil War(mostly Legends Post-Endor) far more clever and cunning then those seen during the days of the Republic, in the Clone Wars for example. Don't get me wrong, there are neat little strategies and tactics used by the Republic and CIS that are really fascinating but nothing quite as unique as the Thrawn Pincer or the Ackbar Slash.

#askeck - I’ve had this question for a minute and I was wondering if you could give your thoughts. In Star Wars Rebels Admiral Thrawn conducts an orbital bombardment of the Rebel base, in which we see multiple ISD’s utilizing their main batteries. Now, just a single blast of these turbolaser batteries is very often quoted to have a destructive yield greater than the megaton range in Star Wars circles. And yet, in Star Wars Rebels, we see Kaanan speeding through the bombardment on a speeder bike, and the bombardment appears to be much closer in destructive yield to a conventional artillery barrage. Obviously, if turbolasers were even very conservatively carrying megaton yield effects, one shot would have put Kaanan and a 10 mile radius up in irradiated smoke. So just as a thought experiment, if we took this scene as a canonical example of turbolaser power…how would that prompt us to rethink everything about space combat in Star Wars? Just feel like this is an interesting case study. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4O1YYWGp9eSqMk&t=33 P.S. I'd actually love if you did a whole video analyzing this!

[@dreamingwanderer1124]

Another similar question from me: In Star Wars Rebels, at the x-wing attack on the lothal blockade we see Hera's fighter getting hit by a blast from one of the Chimaera's main batteries, and all she does is lose shields. WT-BEEEEEEEP!

I wonder, what would it have been like if Ackbar was the one that sacrificed himself and not Holdo and he was the one that ended up killing Thrawn, who became the leader of the Final Order in the rise of skywalker? That would have been a memorable death for both of them. Even if the hyperspace thing made no sense when Holdo did it, I feel Ackbar still could have sacrificed himself to take down Thrawn and the fleet in a different way.

[@AC4ace]

@EckhartsLadder, you badly botched how you described this battle. I've read Isard's Revenge (the novel that features this battle) over a dozen times, and can name of the top of my head three major issues you got wrong (FYI, I double-checked the book before commenting, so I know I'm right here). 1. Like Grand Moff commented below, Krennel didn't know that the New Republic was about to attack Ciutric. He had intelligence indicating they were planning something, but assumed that they were going to lay an ambush for him when he went to strike one of their supply convoys. His assembled fleet was actually meant for a grazing strike on Coruscant, and Ackbar's sudden arrival was just bad luck. 2. 'Binder' was NOT an Interdictor Star Destroyer in the novel, but an Interdictor Cruiser. I know that there's conflicting info, but Michael Stackpole was very clear in describing his 'Binder' as being one of the smaller interdictors. As far as I'm aware, the info claiming that 'Binder" was an Interdictor Star Destroyer came from Star Wars comics, and I've always viewed then as being of lower reliability than the novels when it comes to canonicity. 3. While Ackbar did order a withdrawal once he realized how outgunned his fleet was, it's abundantly clear from the battle's description that things happened so fast that they didn't have time to carry out that order. "Home One" and "Reckoning" are described as firing on each other's BOWS, while Decisive was ordered to roll to PORT to come up and over Emancipator after failing to penetrate the NR ship's PORT shields, with the Emancipator responding by having its PORT guns fire on the PORT shields of Decisive. The only way this description works is if the two fleets were bow-on towards each other, not Krennel chasing down Ackbar as you've depicted. Go ahead and double-check the book. It's the beginning of Chapter 35, page 300 in my copy.

#AskEck Since Disney now owns Fox, what do you think they will do with their R-Rated franchises? ignoring the Marvel stuff, Disney now owns Home Alone, Ice Age, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Avatar, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Night at the Museum, Independence Day, and Planet of the Apes, witch are more or less family friendly (i know ID4, Buffy, and Apes aren't, but at least kids can watch them without getting nightmares). These i can see being rebooted or getting fresh talent. But now they also have Alien, Predator, The Omen, Taken, Die Hard, Wrong Turn, Kingsman, Lake Placid, The Hills Have Eyes, The Fly, and the Exorcist. These are franchises that i doubt Disney knows what to do with. Kingsman, i can kinda sorta see getting a kiddified spinoff like Starship Troopers did with Roughnecks, and Die Hard and Taken could be taken down to PG-13 through reboots, but the others... all the rest are serious hard R-rated franchises- predominately Horror, too- with a lot of gore and scares that would give kids nightmares for weeks on end.

#AskEck Any particular reason why Wedge's X-Wing sensors don't pick up the DS2's shields in ROTJ?

[@khadenallast4495]

They were being jammed. Remember right before then Lando's asking about the shields and says they should have a reading on them up or down, and then after some alien speak asks how the Empire could be jamming them if they don't know they're coming. The answer of course being that the Empire did know. Wedge's X-wing didn't detect it for the same reason the Falcon couldn't get a read on it, but as the X-wing is several times smaller and more standardized than the bundle of rigged together illegal parts that make up the Falcon, it has a less sophisticated/advanced electronic warfare package and therefore couldn't detect that its systems were being spoofed. At least that's the only logical reason I could see.
