[@JediSentinal]

So its not just solething *i* have noticed... Seems more star wars lore channels are dropping hour plus comps these days, and frankly im here for it. Allows me to rewatch old videos i forgot existed while keeping a single topic going. Its nice to download for work!

@@JediSentinal its a welcome turn of events to be sure i honestly think its the best for both creators and consumers especially in the star wars lore genre of KZbin where the audience is more likely to watch in full and even re-watch again i personally fall asleep to star wars lore videos i just hope channels making such long videos doesn't burn out the people making them especially gen tech

[@damianelswick8828]

One reason I prefer GT to other SW KZbinrs, he presents the information without his personal biases/opinions affecting his content or style of delivery. So many others let their dislike/hatred towards Disney/sequels/etc affect the tone/delivery/perspective/coverage. Alan just presents the info as presented and in a unique semi-in universe manner. Love your work, keep up the excellent work!

[@Green_Sentinel_3]

True & it is appropriated but it's hard not to let the atrocities Disney has committed against SW, for a quick cash grab instead of making quality content that SW fans would actually enjoy, affect them when it's something they're passionate about.

[@BigStereoVR]

One day: I want to turn on Andor, watch Luthen Rael in his back room hunched over a holocast of Alan. It's a regular Generation Tech show, but they write it in as the voice of rebellion show.

[@sundragon7703]

Even though droids are commonplace, guided munitions were either non-existent or simple or wtf. On the subject of wtf, a buzzdroid is not the way to go for a single use submunition. Wanna put the fear in the Republic, instead of a buzzdroid, substitute with submunitions fanning out across the hull of a ship as they seek out sensitive systems, then detonating. Why blowup an engine of a cruiser when a swarm of scampering limpet mines can remove the entire aft section.

[@papapalps2415]

[@simon2493]

Tbh while ground warfare would be still useful when you want to secure some info/place before surrendering planet destroyers it, threat of orbital bombardment should be enough to incur surrender. Even in SW assuming that you can't overpower planetary shield defences, you should be able to force surrender by just besieging siad planet. How many of planets in SW are completely self sufficient and have economy independent enough so that it will work just fine without trade with rest of galaxy? I don't think many do.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

That only works if you don't want anything on the planet and don't care about the political ramifications of bombarding or starving out a whole world. Otherwise, the people on the planet can and likely will just call your bluff, and you'll have to engage in planetside combat anyway.

[@papapalps2415]

​@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystemYou only need to do it a few times on a few worlds, and broadcast those examples hard enough, to make this moot and void.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

@papapalps2415 That still means you have to do it. If you care enough about a world to bother attacking it, you probably want something on it. Even if you don't care about a couple planets or the political blowback of doing it to those, the people on planets you actually want would know you want something there and would still call your bluff.

[@simon2493]

@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem On the other hand you can assume not many world would be still willing to fight after you've bombarded all of thier military establishments. Is there even any example irl when after defenses have been defeated the city still though until everyone one was dead? On the side point, despite SW portraying ground combat as a rather clean affair, Ukraine and Gaza if nothing else, shows how destructive even modern ground combat is.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

@simon2493 Absolutely on the side point. Problem with your main point is that the main weapons which could be used for orbital bombardment are turbolasers, with the power of nuclear weapons. You're not making precision strikes with that, and civilian casualties are going to be massive most of the time. There's also decent chances that military forces aren't going to be at their installations, so a military insurgency could continue after and do major damage.

[@jaytrashwade1-1]

I'm starting to realize Star Wars lore is a more tame Warhammer 40k universe with significantly more balanced power scaling.... The Death Star is a major threat in Star Wars due to it's shear firepower but in Warhammer 40k the destruction of the Death Star is just another Tuesday

[@Wackaz]

I love the way the armour for the troopers simplifies as the Republic evolves and eventually transitions into the Empire. Sanitary, clean, sterile, just as a puritan dictatorship would desire.

[@johntoms4166]

Stumbled on your channel a while ago while watching angry people review Star Wars. I’ve been hooked on it since. Only Starwars channel I watch now. Actually entertaining like a back story Starwars show. I don’t know how much is actually drawn from lore (I recognize a lot) and how much is made up for entertainment value but I don’t even care if it is made up. The best!

[@mowermen1762]

As far as I know he doesn’t make anything up at all. Most of the info he gives you can find on Wookiepedia

[@WhoisPersona]

Nowadays I feel like a lot of the battles that take place occur between an underdog in addition to the big empire with lots of disposable income. I really want to see another Clone Wars situation where you have to massive powers go up against one another in vast theatres of war that have been carefully crafted to take even the smallest detail into consideration.

[@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

It's called Star Wars, not Star Anti-Insurgencies, so I agree.

[@__xander_]

check the New Republic vs Imperial Remnant conflict(s) from legends, you basically have the rising New republic and the remnants of the Empire trying to restore it or at least survive in this war of dominion over the galaxy. With that we don't even consider the Yuuzhan Vong invasion and all the other wars of that vast period. And yes, in some parts we can count that as 2.0 Clone Wars

[@dumbguy1007]

I at least want to see 2 or more planet wide powers going up against each other. A relatively smaller war than the galactic conflicts but one similar to many wars between small nations we see in our world. Maybe the newly established Mandalorians and their allies will want to start showing their strength.

[@JediSentinal]

Agreed! I hope the next main series of movies doesnt just continue the skywalker story 10 years in the future, but jumps 100+ years in the future. Get new stories, factions, characters in! Dont be forced into the set timeline, your only gonna make things worse akin to the sequels. Current tales become legends within the universe, and tech doesnt need to progress alot. In star wars tech advances in bursts, there wasnt much advancement over the latter 1000 years of the republic and then the hyperspace wars hit and shit started advancing like crazy up through the clone wars, tapering off with the first order.

[@johnray1956]

Generation Tech: Fun fact, my dad was apart of a test for a blaster weapon a couple decades ago. The weapon needed a mobile one ton trailer, and only a range of 10/20ft. max 5 shots before power ran out. So Starwars at times actually gets lucky, and gets really close to reality. Lightsabers, companies has had more success with backpack, and non-backpack versions that fully works.

Honestly, the Clone Troopers would win but with heavy casualties. The Clones have genetic advantages and better camaraderie, but the FO Stormtroopers have better weapons and armor. So the clones would win but with like 50 or less survivors.

It makes sense the Clone Wars era used Old Republic armor, ship and weapon designs. No one was designing new military equipment for 1000 years. The 3000 year Old Republic was pretty much perfected military designs, any improvements would be minor increments.

[@Obsidian-Aurora]

Who else finds it interesting that all these armors look like Mandalorian armor probably some kind of culture thing across the Star Wars Galaxy

[@gabrielhenson5751]

The Mandalorian's culture revolved pretty much solely around combat and their armor, so anytime a faction wanted to make good armor they would generally consult a Mandalorian on how to design it. Or try to imitate Mandalorian armor.

[@statickaeder29]

So what about the gun that Din Jarin carried, that required what looked to be large ammunition that was carried on his belt and bandolier? this same weapon had an electric discharge as well, that caused the Krayt dragon to spit him out. It did not survive the destruction of the Razor Crest, though... I like Din Jarin's armor. - The problem with learning to ride a machine after learning to ride a living mount is that the machine doesn't have eyes, doesn't have any reason to desire to protect itself and thus not fall down or run into walls, and you can't guide it with anything other than the specific control surfaces.. I learned to ride a horse before I learned to ride a bike, and have been constantly disappointed by bicycles.

[@Serenityindailylife]

A version of the jet pack has been used by US and Royal SBS/SAS troops. They also use a fan powered glider parachute and flying squirrel suit.

[@Elkarlo77]

Schlock Mercenary putt it very clearly about flying Soldiers. "Do you know how we call flying Soldiers?" "Skeets" And i think thats the difference between Mandalorians and less armored Soldiers: Normal Soldiers want as less Air-Time as possible to reduce the "Skeetphase" while Mandalorians can take several hits

If we are talking about realism I kinda understand why stormtrooper miss so much despite being the special forces. It’s because they are wearing full face helmets. Even in modern day combat ballistic masks or full face helmets are rarely ever used. They are heavy, hard to breath and low visibility. Most people today prefer high cut helmets for it being slim and more visibility and breathability. So having that knowledge it makes sense why stormtroopers miss so much
