tbh I kind of liked the concept of star killer base. If it wasn’t used by Disney, I think it could have been made into something really cool.

[@lonestarwolfentertainment7184]

Honestly I'd say Starkiller base was less economically taxing then the Death Star, since the weapon was built into an actual planet (most likely using its own resources) instead of having a giant space station built just for it and it didn't even require the extremely rare giant Kyber Crystals to function just a Star (and the universe is filled with those and new ones are born every day). So yeah Starkiller base is superior to the Death Star both from a destructive capability standpoint and an economic standpoint

I've got an idea of a superweapon that wouldnt be destroyed in one episode and be similar to the death star. Various smol lasers set up on different planets, somewhere there would also be a device that concentrates all the beams All the lasers combined would be about twice as strong as a death star but they wouldn't all be used at once, there would be extra lasers in case any were destroyed

Do you think superweapons are getting overused in Star Wars? I feel like all planet destroyers make the Death Stars seem less significant.

[@MAJN13]

I see tons of people saying "They just keep using death stars so unoriginal" or something along those lines. Let's think of it this way if you can build a weapon that can destroy planets and it gets destroyed would you rather rebuild it stronger and stronger until it can wipe out multiple planets and get rid of all its weak points by trial and error OR would you rather abandon the weapon and go back to using conventional armies and weaker weapon systems? I think building more advanced death stars until it becomes truly indestructible is the best option imo.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

I can see why they made the extended universe non-canon. That's a few too many planet-destroying superweapons. Why does every book and comic need its own death star anyway?

[@MWBalls]

To be fair, before Disney nuked it all there was multiple levels of canon for the SW universe. A lot of the stuff on this list comes from comics and video games which were the lowest level of cannon and barely, if even, acknowledged by the whole. The novels and movie novelizations where the second tier canon and they didn't get too crazy. Some were actually very good if you could get over the fact that Luke, Han, and Leia had impenetrable plot armor, by order of GL.

[@1dudecrush]

I don't mean to nitpick (but I'm gonna, just because this is the time and place), but Starkiller base's super laser was said to be a faster-than-lightspeed weapon. That's part of the reason they could fire the weapon from one system and destroy another, without having to sit around for years.

First of all, I appreciate your honesty and it made me laugh. Nitpick away. Second of all, what did I say?

[@StarWarsExplained]

supersmex Mhm lol

[@rasgrizrevelations4145]

because planet destroyers were mostly fear weapons like nuclear bombs. use it once or twice and hope you don't have to again. after all destroying a planets destroys a vast amount of resources. there was also the theory that Palatine was prepping these weapons for the invasion that was to come. in legends a massive alien invasion force came and killed billions with so many super weapons the galaxy could have withstood easier. just my thoughts cant say its 100 percent right.

[@Areshod]

Jared Johnson they were preparing for the Vong invasion

[@GAdmThrawn]

Death Star II also had advanced targeting systems that allowed it to target the Rebel Alliance's Mon Cal cruisers and other command-class ships, which was an improvement of its predecessor. The Starkiller beam is already made up of light, so saying that it goes at light speed is a little redundant. There is still no explanation how a beam of light can travel from one end of the galaxy to another within a few minutes unless they could open a portal at the Starkiller Base and another at a targeted system. Something like the Infinity Gun. It seems that the rest of the super weapons depend upon or use some form of science when they either prepare or use the weapon, and I have no problems with that as they can be relatively explained and understood.

[@HonestHappyHater]

You are alive admiral!

[@Charaqat]

They did say somewhere that they fire the beam for Starkiller through Hyperspace.

[@innteku]

+Grand Admiral Thrawn I also think it is very unrealistic that lightspeed can travel to other system in the galaxy within seconds/minutes. So just avoid the word lightspeed and say hyperspace/hyperdrive instead :D

[@GAdmThrawn]

Vrox_ And yet it's visible when it's traveling as was seen on Maz's Castle. Starships and the pergill can't be seen when they travel through hypserspace. ***** True enough. Lightspeed is the slang term for traveling through hyperspace when in actuality a spacecraft can travel through hundreds and even thousands of times faster than light.

[@Charaqat]

Well actually, Hyperspace is near lightspeed, but contained in it's own "Dimension" that dilates time, and through the use of assists on board a ship can make the ship shrink the distance between destinations without ship particle collapse (The Falcon), and the class of the hyperdrive determines how close to light speed a ship can go before catastrophic failure resulting in many disasters that can happen from the hyperspace "tunnel" collapsing on the ship, being trapped for thousands of years in slow motion while for anybody outside of the "tunnel" is experiencing real time, etc. So if you experience a day on say, a Venator in hyperspace, it is a full day outside of hyperspace too, but without time dilation assists on the ship, a full day on the ship that you do not notice is in slow motion, is really the amount of time it would take raw light without hyperspace to travel to the destinations, one day on the ship could be hundreds or thousands of years. In all logic, the simplest way of explaining Hyperspace, is traveling through time it's self, almost like Doctor Who.

Exactly :) It must je something like hyperdrived projectile, buď se see it is just a light beam, so the beam must be somehow accelerated to overlight speed, but as it enter target solar system, it must slow down to underlight speed so you can enjoy that majestic view to beam, what is just going to kill you as se seen in movie. It is verry sofisticated. :D

[@quazar5017]

+Štěpán Hájek Wow now the whole thing actually makes sense! Seeing as Starkiller Base consumes "the energy of a star" it is likely that it actually doesn't fire a laser, but a giant beam of the stars plasma, which is of course highly magnetic. Seeing as the beam can split and change direction it could be guided by magnetic and plasma hardened missiles which fly inside the beam! (Such heat immune material exists in SW legends: "Sun Crusher".) Those Missiles could also do the hyperspace jump. ... Or you look on Jedipedia and read some nonesense about Dark Energy transformed to Phantom Energy, which tears a hole through Hyperspace or something...

Even our closest neighboring star is over 3 years away and it is basically face hugging us in relation to the rest of the galaxy. The Milky Way is estimated to be about 100k light years across. I guess those weapons would be a threat eventually but it would almost be like attacking a country by letting snails carry your bombs there. I understand that the weapons were powerful but unless they were used in close proximity then it wouldn't exactly be a practical way to attack someone. Especially when people have faster than light travel. They would just go somewhere else and be like "well, dodged that bullet. good thing it's so slow."

[@TheAnomaly00]

Dr Pancake Face Gaming I understand the knee-jerk "But wait..." however you are forgetting one crucial thing, on the Star Wars universe, Faster Than Light travel is achieved by travelling through Hyperspace. Furthermore, the relative speed at which you move through Hyperspace affects your Distance over-time. So travelling at THE SPEED OF LIGHT, while moving through dimension that allows you to travel several light years while moving through it at the pace of a brisk walk...Let's just say the only reason they haven't gone Extra-Galactic is because of the enormous Hyperspace Anomaly present just outside the Galaxy.

You missed out Naga Sadow's ship that could pull the core out of a sun. This weapon extiguished all life on numerous planets including the old Jedi stronghold Ossus.

I thought that was naga sadow himself, not his ship.

*Hi*

[@jakeob5884]

-Do you know how to do this?-

[@DeathMessenger1988]

2:54 - You got that wrong, pal. It's not the Star Forge that's similar to to Starkiller Base, it's Starkiller Base that's a rip-off the Star Forge mixed with the Death Star and Sun Crusher.

[@revanreborn2548]

here we go I didn't know about the Sun Crusher but I did know about Star Forge + Death Star + Name of Darth Vader's Apprentice and apparently + Sun Crusher

[@Deathranger999]

DeathΩMessenger No, he's not wrong just because he didn't say something that you feel should've been said.

[@revanreborn2548]

no he is wrong unless the Rakata came forward in time and saw Starkiller Station and said "using the corona of a sun is a great idea to get the power we need.", then Starkiller Station is definitely based on the Star Forge in that respect

[@kabobawsome]

@@revanreborn2548 Well, I know I'm late, but the name Starkiller has a common origin, but it doesn't refer to Starkiller from the The Force Unleashed. Instead, both names are a reference to Luke's original name, Starkiller, before it was changed to Skywalker.

[@abelincoln3200]

Glad you remembered the sun crusher. It was an epic moment in the book dark apprentice when kyp I think, flew it right through a star destroyer to destroy it. Yeah, it was hidden in the maw with the Death Star prototype where the empire though the war was still on

[@Dinodan3]

Can you do a video on the Hammerhead-class cruiser used by the old Republic? If there's not enough material to make a video on that, maybe you could make a video on all the ships in the Old Republic's navy?

[@ryansunderman8764]

wasn't it in rebels now

Wrong Ship - Rebels have Hammerhead Corvettes. Hammerhead Cruisers are the original, far larger, had a different engine pack, and were the inspiration for the Hammerhead Corvettes.

It's also a basically pointless weapon as basically no star systems have more than one inhabited planet

Love the Death star, especially this disco ball version.

[@quierover4locas]

I actually dont have a problem with starkiller base. Come on the ñame of the franchise basically says there are wars in between stars, having superweapons with capabilities to destroy planets and stars is a must and Will happen repeatedly.

[@twinkeyrunaway]

Jesus Rendon Then its just as flawed as some of these legends stories. There has to be more originality, not just lazy rehashing and calling it something else when its pretty much the same exact thing that was done 30 years ago.

Their is also other Starwars Legends Super weapons that you forgot to mention. Like the Eye of Palptine,( The Astroid) , Theirs also the Eclipse I Super Star destoyer, The Ecplise II Super Star Destoyer , The Gravestone/Eternal Fleet Super Weapon

[@TigerofRobare]

I thought the Tarkin was just a big ion canon. I'd argue that Eclipse-class super star destroyers from Legends count. Even discounting their superlasers, their conventional weapons could easily make everything on a planet dead or wishing it were.

[@innteku]

I like it, but I think it would be better if you enumerate them from the weakest to the strongest :)

[@avi8aviate]

New canon superweapon revealed: The Xyston-class Star Destroyer. It's just a lazy rebuild of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer with a superlaser on it. The superlaser was its major weakpoint, and took all of the energy on the ship to fire. However, it was capable of destroying planets. Everyone hates it due to its lazy design.

[@crim-jim6814]

Darksaber is the name of the plan said by jyn erso just before she finds stardust. People have been referencing the black lightsaber from cannon but it is called the Black Saber. I know its legends material but it seems like it might connect.

Can you make a list of the most powerful handheld weapons

[@skylerslack5677]

that one fractures itself into peices, hits other planets, then they fracture in a never ending cycle is the most scary on this list

[@nickdiasio3763]

I know it wasn’t a planet destroyer, but the Thought Bomb did wipe out nearly all of the Sith. I don’t know if it really deserves a spot as a superweapon, but it was definitely major.

[@panzerofthelake7661]

When you said "the dark saber" I thought of the black mandalorian light saber as it was called the dark saber.

[@kingbowser72themylittleponyfan]

Cannon weapons: Sith Temple of Malachor Death Star Death Star II Starkiller Base

[@valtersplume3726]

There's also a superweapon called Shock Drum which when placed on a planet, emits strong sound waves that cause earthquakes.

[@weatherguy8380]

GREAT VIDEO!! SO INFORMATIVE!! I noticed though, you missed Naga Sadow's sun destroying weapon. There also was a prototype of the conqueror.

[@pigandchickenextraab2590]

The empire were desperate of destroying planets :D

[@ForeverLaxx]

Threat of planet destruction was how they tended to keep "order" in the systems they ruled.

[@catmani2]

Actually, the Emperor had fa force vision about an alien race that would soon invade the galaxy in planet sized ships. The Yuuzhan Vong later invaded using those ships. (that is just for the death stars though, not the other weapons)

[@tariffictypist7372]

Canon: Malachor's Sith Temple, The Death Star, The Death Star 2, Starkiller base, Legends: Center point Station, The Star Forge, Cosmic Turbine, PlaneChanga, Infinity Gate, Dark Reaper, Hammer Station, Mass Shadow Generator, The Desolator, Shawken Device, Trigon One, Infant of Shaa, Death Star Prototype, Orbital Nightcloak, Tarkin, The Conqueror, The Sun Crusher, Galaxy Gun, World Devastators, The DarkSaber, Yo'Gand's Core, technically The Eclipse and The Sovereign. In Canon: 4 superweapons, in Legends: 23. Of those 13 of those were made by the Galactic Empire, 2 were created by the Rakata, two more were on planets in the Malachor system, and of those only 4 of them have the potential to destroy Stars, they are Starkiller Base, which could technically suck all the energy of a star till it supernovas, after a long period of time, The Suncrusher, which could destroy Stars completely, Centerpoint Station, which could move and implode stars with it's advanced Tractor beam technology, and the Star Forge which could do the same damage as Starkiller base does to a host star. Yup think I got them all info on it, Although quick mention of the Silencer and other one off star destroyers with weak superlasers on them, although I think that the Eclipse's and the Sovereign's superlaser should count as well, cuz they could destroy a moon at the very least. Okay bye, get me a lot of likes this took a while to write.

[@Sh0cKwavE__]

Wrong, the Eclipse was a Star Destroyer mixed with the Death Star. If other super Star Destroyers can make it here, the Eclipse definitely should be able to.
