Fondor Haulcraft: The James Bond Car of Star Wars

[@Bertramtalespinner]

Dear Lego, when do we get a Haulcraft?

[@nimay13]

Dear Bandai, same question.

[@georgejcox9241]

I second that thought.

[@kybris87]

man i just wanted to check if there really isn't one - what a shame!

[@darwinskeeper421]

I loved your comment about James Bond's spaceship. I think that was going through everybody's head when Luthen Rael escaped from that Cantwell-class cruiser. I could easily imagine the following conversation between him and an outlaw tech when he picked up his newly modified Haulcraft. "This thing has lightsabers? You're joking!" "They're particle emitter beams, and I never joke about my work Mr. Rael."

RIP, Desmond Llewelyn.

looking at the beautiful haulcraft design, together with this video's soundtrack - there's still nice things in this world. brought a smile to my face 🙂

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

Thanks!

You will definitely get stronger and happier in your body. And your genuine authentic content is admirable and enrolling 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🏆

fwiw, the chaff launcher is not intended as a weapon. chaff is a cloud of reflective particles, designed to confuse enemy radar and weapon lock-on systems; it's a defensive countermeasure. luthen's highly effective (and creative) use of it to destroy the tractor beam emitters was A) very unorthodox and B) thematically very appropriate (tricking the empire into tightening their grip, only for that to lead to their destruction). i just felt that was worth putting into words lol

[@SpiritWolf1966]

I enjoy all of Radio Free Coruscant videos 😊

[@station7thedoor]

I'd moreso call it the Batmobile of Star Wars. And Leuthen is TOTALLY Batman/Bruce Wayne. Interesting that the book describes it as a "transport" intended for hauling "external cargo containers." I always imagined it to be the Star Wars equivalent of a tug boat, or tow truck, originally designed for towing and hauling larger ships. That's why it is equipped with such powerful sublight engines. I think I will stick with my head canon for now, since Disney Star Wars does not seem to take any of their written material seriously.

[@DarrenMalin]

very cool :) thank you

[@anthonylowman9518]

I agree. When do we get an official Lego version?? I’ve seen a moc of it!

[@briandain8432]

Just last week I was wondering about this ship! Great Timing!

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

Thanks!

[@doloresraml6539]

Great video.

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

Thanks!

[@Chef_PC]

I imagine Fondor is to Corellian ships like Hennessey and Shelby are to Chevy and Ford. That was obviously a Corellian ship before the mods.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

The perfect ship for the Andor series.

[@corujariousa]

That and Darth Maul's ship must be the coolest ships in Star Wars.

[@ashleypierce8500]

This scene is easily the single best vehicle/space fight of the entire franchise.

[@soraisfinallyhere1305]

Not even close

[@plrrt]

why would you use such fun music? i'm trying to watch your video and now i'm dancing in my seat

[@daniellafferety4025]

Still needs a detachable hover car. For local streets,and in local space travel. Possibly a micro F.T.L drive. Could be carried by the ship. Cargo Bay could work as a hover car garage. F.T.L. 2 x light speed.

[@AJFisherDesign]

Thank you for a thoughtful and well organised video. The haul craft is very interesting. I attempted to develop an internal deck plan from screenshots and such but it’d just be speculation as a lot has never been depicted on screen. It seems to me like an asymmetric layout possibly. Thanks again. P.S. a brief animation of a Star Wars universe inspired vessel I designed and 3D constructed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3TZiXeka6lon80si=5jW0Oyx-2E4dZJ-o

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

If you look up the Dawn of the Rebellion Visual Dictionary, you should be able to find the cutaway of the Fondor that was included in it. You can only see the front half, but it is indeed an asymmetrical layout. Your freighter design is very cool! I’ve 3D modeled a few spaceships, but haven’t tried an interior yet. I love the name as well.

[@AJFisherDesign]

@@RadioFreeCoruscant Thank you for the follow-up information and kind feedback on my fan-made freighter design. It’s appreciated!

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

You’re welcome!

[@Sam_T2000]

me want many toys and models of this ship…

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

Me too! I’m shocked they haven’t made a LEGO set of it. The Mobile Tac-Pod must not have sold well and scared them off from doing more Andor sets.

[@Grygus_Triss]

Nah, Bond would be flying something made by Naboo or similar. With all the same gadgets. Bond is... not a good spy. Too fancy, too visible. This would be the equivalent to Bond driving a Ford Transit Van. Unnoticed by everyone because they're so common and everywhere.

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

The hottest thing in a long time. To bad it's part of "Star Wartz". 😐

[@jowziff]

First

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

Second

[@sirddee]

Well I watched 2 minutes but background music is indigestible for me so sorry:)

[@RadioFreeCoruscant]

Do you have a problem with the genre or the volume? I’ve been getting bored of the same background music for a while, and have been struggling with the volume sounding fine while editing but being too loud when I export it, so your feedback would be appreciated.

[@sirddee]

@@RadioFreeCoruscant For Your genre I would've go with free stock music but sounding orchestral, something with wider landscape if You catch my drift. As well I would've put volume a bit lower with equaliser limiting the highest frequencies.

[@sirddee]

@@RadioFreeCoruscant hey bro just hit me I will make You something pro bono. I am quite handy with making digital music!

[@lillyanneserrelio2187]

❤ Another radio free broadcast against the empire!
