[@pout6038]

the biggs rebel cell: every mustached rebel pilot.

[@Spacedock]

Would like to see more of the Commenor Cell, it was a cool planet in Legends. Rogue Squadron were based out of there for a few years.

[@Spacedock]

Appreciate it man, thanks for watching. :D

[@kyberbricks3781]

Spacedock Dude your videos are really great!

[@jedijournal9159]

I love youre videos on star wars ships!

[@ΑχιλλέαςΠαπαδημητρίου-ο1μ]

Can you please do all imperial officers?

[@AbjectPermanence]

I always had a weird feeling that Grand Moff Tarkin wanted to do all imperial officers.

[@brokenbridge6316]

Not a bad idea Grand Moff Tarkin.

[@xy7596]

Maybe rank them

[@zebastianjonsson2719]

Sir! Theirs maybe to many officers sir!

[@alexanderhayre522]

Grand Moff Tarkin All imperial officers that didn't die on the Death Star like you of all in general

[@Wintermute01001]

Seeing a "realistic" version of the Ghost crew just feels wrong

[@vincentt2309]

Terry Cupboards sure she is

[@oceankim8791]

@Terry Cupboards Well it was actually confirmed by Pablo Hildago, the Lore Adviser for Rebels that Sabine is in fact East Asian in appearance.

[@v12ts.gaming]

Well you should see the recent Ahsoka trailer for that...

[@mayeastrise]

Iron squadron aka the most hated rebel cell

[@richardched6085]

Phil zu Neide it's not even a Cell! It's just 3 people. A Cell is 5 people or more.

[@aidancarney6315]

I shuddered when I heard the name...

[@bromthymolblue5153]

CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE ME GOD

[@donpula6349]

Should be 50 or more not those bunch of wannabe rebel cell... Iron Squadron was a joke... Jeez....

[@EHH246]

0:23 It's weird seeing the cast in a realistic style. Where did this artwork come from?

[@calvinschubert1663]

EHH246 It's unofficial fan art from someone. Can't remember who.

[@eternal5930]

Well Zeb hasn't changed a bit.

[@lukefearns01]

Would honestly love to see the mandolorians be free from the empire and be left alone, would be great to see them gain the power they had in legends old republic.

[@sethleoric2598]

I would love to see a very VERY morally grey Rebel cell called "The Scoundrels" it would be awesome

[@danf3201]

What about Berch Teller's cell from the Tarkin novel?

[@iam_darthk]

dan f Yeah, he missed that one too. And a few others.

[@jceybti9326]

I believe that they mention another rebel cell in the novel "Tarkin" led by a human called Teller

[@AbjectPermanence]

Wow, where did the art in the thumbail come from? Is it fan art?

[@erikthomsen4768]

The Iron cell is an symbol of what happens when the rebels doesn't run. We have only ever seen one single ship in it's squaden. May the force of other's be which the Sato hammer. At least more than the rest of the squaden.😢

[@jeffreyaguilar8028]

“The Partisans are the most notorious cell”, and also my favorite.

[@StarWarsDestinyCenter]

Poor Berch Teller and his group are missing :( Otherwise a very good overview over the various cells! :)

[@Wolfboy762]

There's also Berch Teller's group from the Tarkin novel and the group led by Nightswan in the Thrawn novel. And the Dreamers, from the Battlefront 2 book.

[@mathewdean1029]

Do different colors of force lightning please

[@DavidNoce]

My suggestion is for a list of the different iterations of the the make-up of Jedi High Council members. For instance, the Ep1 version with Yarael Poof & co., the Ep2 version with Agen Kolar & co., etc.

[@andyhodges7797]

Is there a reason you didn't include the rebels from Tarkin and Thrawn?

[@shaneharrison6918]

Andrew Randolph They didn't become part of the Rebel Alliance

[@tomturney1260]

My favourite cells, by far, are the ghost crew and phoenix squadron.

[@cosmickeyboard9811]

Love the thumbnail, great artwork

[@jdpumpica4417]

Yeah! Extensive Legends cell video!!!!

[@neofulcrum5013]

It was neat to see these unique rebel cells

[@CompleteAnimation]

This is a HUGE request, but I would like a video about every sentient species in the current canon. That isn't nearly as much as what is in Legends, but still a big list.

[@JRKnight07]

@StarWarsExplained Good list. This could be debatable; the Rebel Alliance’s Sixty-First Mobile Infantry from the Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company novel could qualify under that criteria.

[@ChevyChase301]

I hope battlefront 2 lets us use ATM6s in galactic assault in the DQar DLC

[@ultimatestarwarsgeek7603]

Well, if we're only fighting on D'Qar, then no. But if we fight on Crait, it's extremely likely.

[@anthonyderose1380]

Irony, Saw used Anakin's now Vader tactics

[@shinysamurott613]

Anthony DeRose Palpatine: Ironic.

[@kaleeshmatriarch455]

Man, the Rebel Alliance had a massive, growing army. Great video!! 😃👍🌠

[@brandon074]

Please do a video of all the Legends rebel groups.

[@MartinFelice]

It would be amazing to see Garm Bel Iblis on the next season of Rebels

[@Rich-rd5te]

Could you Classify The Pykes and Black Sun, etc. Cells as they fought against the empire at times. I know the Hutts didnt but Black Sun, and Pykes did along with The Remainder Of Mauls Shadows

[@gabrielroberts643]

Hey could you make a video about what happened to Delta squad after order 66. Did they join the empire or escape and had there own rebellion against the empire?

[@Rebel_Friend]

That thumbnail looks awesome.

[@TheOfficeIsBananas]

Was Teller's group considered a cell in Tarkin?

[@vthesnail]

Can you do a video on the republic military before the clone wars?

[@MSnell]

Where would you place Teller and his crew from the Tarkin novel?

[@liquidflorian]

What about rebellion infantry units like Inferno Squad? How many were there, and what kind of special operations groups did they have?

[@joelmcfly5172]

Awesome video, like always and a legends version of the video would be very cool. But one question: Why does the AT-ST looks different in ESB on Hoth, than in Rogue One or ROTJ?

[@NeuWatsonMusic]

Hey Alex, there are no videos to click on in the closing card of this video. Just letting you know!

[@blooperpazdro5894]

What about the Corona Squadron from The Lost Stars novel?

[@neofulcrum5013]

This might need to be updated

[@joeperry1322]

What about Commander Lydia Winters's Athena cell?

[@darthrage2002]

Can you do another video on Legends Rebels?

[@supercerealworld9218]

There's a new cell mentioned in the book On the Front Lines, it appears Mon Mothma had her own cell, but its not Gold Squadron

[@zeroscale7766]

Could you ever do a video on Ysanne Isard? Maybe the Thyferra Crisis?

[@JediAcolyte94]

You seem to have forgotten the Lightspeed Panthers(which took center stage during the Fei Hu Campaign) and the Tierfon Yellow Aces(which Wes Janson was a part of).

[@kosovomapping1039]

both of those cells come from the legends timeline

[@cillianbrouder]

A list of the known cultures taken from real life and used in Star Wars _(canon)?_

[@falleneldor]

What cell was Admiral Akbar a member of? Do we know the names of all the characters who seamed to be leaders arguing with each other from Rouge One?

[@theSpartan187]

Where can I find the images of realistic Ghost crew?

[@shalarria9693]

You forgot the Saw's Dreamers cell!

[@snapgab]

They weren't a part of the alliance, they were independent.

[@shalarria9693]

snapgab but there are literally a continuation of Saw's partisans

[@shalarria9693]

snapgab Saw group was independent but he still counted him.

[@JokingSteak]

Was bout to say that but I guess they can be considered partisans.

[@callmedaddy225]

When someone says something that only a few of us get 😎

[@jedhayes1166]

I would definitely be interested in a legends version of this video

[@stepheng7325]

will be updating this list anytime soon?

[@emperorpalpatine8829]

Can you please do all Imperial agents

[@melindaderr1399]

3:46 Is that the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels in the bottom corner ?

[@shinysamurott613]

Melinda Derr yes

[@tonydefrancesco5904]

Can you do a legions on

[@Tyman_]

Can you do a video on imperial ranks

[@joesisk2758]

What about Twilight Company from the Battlefront novel?

[@Vanklomp1]

What about the Batonn insurgency from thrawn?

[@nickvinsable3798]

Because the Galactic Empire reorganized the command/ruling structure to be under Moffs & Grand Moffs. I'm going to make an educated guess that the Rebel Cells, which is technically outside the main rebel force(s), were organized in a similar manner to the imperial structure. Now we have an educated guess of how many Rebel Cells there are.

[@edwarleycampos7320]

isn't it Ironic, ashoka and anikan taught saw, who rebbeled aganst vader.

[@iam_darthk]

3:00 The Partisans weren't terrorists, watch Generation Tech's video about them.

[@chrishoang1078]

How about a list on all the Clone Divisions in canon i.e. 212th, 501st, 327th, 41st.. etc.

[@sampines5494]

What about the Dreamers from Inferno Squad?

[@nightgundam]

How about a list of Exotic Tech in canon and legends. These would be weapons and gear that aren't blasters, slug throwers, lightsabers, etc things that would be considered even exotic for starwars.

[@Drakon034]

In all the on screen parts involving saw the only time he was even close to extremist was when he threatened to kill that geonosian and that was semi understandable. I don't like how they constantly call him more a terrorist than freedom fire but never give an example.

[@Tracer_Krieg]

What about the Rebel Cell's in the Thrawn book?

[@schradester8]

Do you think we'll see Dantooine next season??

[@jarrodsmith3107]

can you explain who darth vader sensed on the death star, was it obi or luke, I can justify either one, I assume obi was great at being able to cloak his pressence, and vader may have been referring to not feeling the presence since padme was alive.

[@someguy9496]

Can you do every bounty hunter we know of in canon?

[@erinv1232]

I'm wondering where they got the names or the equipment.

[@FrantGas]

What about Dreamers from Battlefront II?

[@nicholaspowell8262]

What about the dreamers lead by Stavin and Lux Bontari

[@ethan4899]

0:32 . Wow that picture seems like a pretty "small" act of decent.

[@benjamincutts6949]

What about the one in Tarkin?

[@nathanshkopiak9060]

Does anyone knoe what kind of battle droid the heavy is in BF2

[@TVFilthyMemes]

Can you do all dark moments in lego star wars

[@alexboyajian2096]

LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@donpula6349]

My favorite rebel cell is Massassi Group....

[@jfarfivethreetwosthree9522]

What about the group that stole the Carrion Spike in Tarkin? Do they count as a rebel cell?

[@semillakan6]

What about nightswans rebels?

[@lcm361]

4:45 there is a lot of interest... please do it!

[@tacticianM]

What about the cell from the thrawn book

[@lanceshadow5582]

How about the cell lead by Birch Teller that stole the Carrion Spike in the novel Tarkin?

[@caseyfuruya3150]

What about the rebel cell from the book "Tarkin?"

[@creepermk]

I would love to see Rebel Cells fail. It seems odd that many of them (esp. Iron Squadron) seem to have an easy time against the empire. The threat only gets real when we see them get destroyed, or scared so much that they disband etc. Do you think we will ever see storys that go into the failure of these cells and the success of the empire?

[@phoenixmeowcatattorney2543]

What about the Dreamers?

[@tfolbricks8570]

What about the Plasma Devils

[@kosovomapping1039]

What about the rebel cell that Jyn infiltrated in Rebel Rising??

[@danielhales8169]

Why didn't he do the Dreamers? I know that they steamed from the Partisans, but I thought that in away they were a separate Cell.

[@bavtie1]

Shouldn't there be a Mon Calamari rebel cell somewhere? At least from before they joined Massasi group?

[@shinysamurott613]

Bastiaan Wiltjer We did see a mon calamari cruiser appear when the rebels gather above Dantooine so there probably was one we just don't know anything about them.

[@grantjoseph2730]

What about twilight company?

[@bendfut]

It's "Rah-ay-da" not "Ray-da" (Ashley Eckstein, Ahsoka's voice actor, pronounced it as such on the Ahsoka audiobook).

[@samuelm.1569]

Gold Squadron FTW!

[@LittleLargeMouth]

Would love a legends version.

[@grahameagles5160]

Did the ghost survive the battle of scarif and were did they go after if they did survived?

[@shinysamurott613]

Graham Eagles The Ghost did survive however we don't know what they did in between the battle of Scarrif and the battle of Endor. Confirmed Survivors are Hera, Chopper and Rex.

[@robertpaxton9206]

What about Twilight Company?

[@codyclark2325]

Can u do a ledegens version

[@DanielBowen1]

A chronological canon list of dark lords of the sith from Darth Bane to Darth Vader

[@rhyswilliams95]

In the Rydeen Cell it looks like you can see Rex in the right hand side

[@shaneharrison6918]

Actually, Green and Gold Squadrons were already part of the Massassi Group during rebels

[@mr.e8226]

is there any canon on how Darth Vader felt after Tarkin wiped out his mentee, Saw? I thought Anakin and Ashoka had formed a relationship with Saw so I always imagined that's why Vader might not have gone after Saw himself.

[@JanPeverell]

Shouldn't the Batonn insurgents also be on this list? I know Grand Admiral Thrawn dealt with them, but they ought to be mentioned
