[@jumpstrart7]

Just a heads up. On your previous video, a comment I left got a reply from a channel using your logo. Talked about winning a PS5. Thought it was weird since nothing was mentioned in the video. You guys might want to keep an eye out for fraudsters.

Note that the Death Star kills were cheaper that you note. Luke used two protons. Wedge and Lando used energy, lost the dish. So much cheaper.

[@dogloversrule8476]

The tabana gas used for the shots would have cost something

[@DeathBYDesign666]

They sacrificed a probably hundreds of ships before they got to that point though, at minimal it would have cost a ton of starfighters to fend off the ties even if they had gone in right away with shields down.

[@lillyanneserrelio2187]

Lando used energy AND luck. Luke used 2 torps. Lando used up a lifetime of good luck. I ask you, can you put a price on luck? People say it was the force that helped Luke get his 2 torps swimming down that exhaust shaft. A 1 in a million shot... Thats more than the force. I say it was LUCK that got the Death Star pregnant errrm i mean exploded.

[@Kirifuki]

By that logic, the Empire also lost a bunch of energy, ordinance, additional ships and troops as well.

[@jaanikaapa6925]

@@Kirifuki Yes. A loss of a base is lives, equipment, perishables, energy, influence

[@stormcloudfilms]

My reasoning could be wrong on this, but keep in mind that the lightmaker was stolen, so the empire was supposed to compensate Alderaan, meaning the Empire payed for that too, maybe. Again, my logic might be wrong

[@raser4329]

I believe you are correct, though the compensation was never technically shown, they potentially destroyed a star destroyer with the only deficit being fuel and crew, so if they were paid it was a net gain in profit vs a few billion credits in losses.

[@Lennis01]

A mention should be made of the Battle of Yavin as a whole, not just Luke Skywalker's role in it. The Rebels only had thirty starfighters to send against the Death Star, yet the battle was won. True, most of the fighters didn't make it back, but that's a bargain no matter how you look at it.

[@chrisoddy8744]

The casualty ratio is definitely asymmetric as well - yes, the Rebels lost 30-ish starfighters and skilled pilots, but the Imps lost millions of personnel including their most skilled pilots, troopers and commanders, plus a state of the art and ludicrously expensive battle station. It's absurdly lop-sided!

[@davidtuttle7556]

It wasn’t one proton torpedo for a Death Star, it was most of two squadrons for the Death Star,

[@lerneanlion]

You looked so blue when you wielded the lightsaber, Alan. And I mean like glowing blue. That's just show how much strong the light in that lightsaber is!

[@Squiddy-go1du]

I always wondered, what happened to the hammer head that pushed the two ISDs into each other. Did it get destroyed with them? Or did they pull out just in time?

[@captainrex6038]

It got destroyed

[@thedarkfaegaming]

[@lordMartiya]

Nitpick on Crynyd: that was not THAT cost efficient due what happened BEFORE he rammed the Executor. Namely, the many ships that had been taken out earlier in the battle while firing at the Executor (we see a Nebulon-B exchanging broadsides with the dreadnought), a large part of the Rebel fleet firing everything they had at the Executor and bringing most of the shields down (we saw Ackbar giving the order) enough for a pair of fighters to nail the bridge shield generators, and finally the fighter attack wave on the bridge of which Arvel Crynyd was the ONLY one who got through with a damaged fighter, at which point he decided that if he was going to die he'd ram that bridge.

[@jazermano]

@Generation Tech, I know you're being sarcastic at the 0:51 mark, but I wouldn't encourage more war crimes from the Jedi. We all know how much a specific duo likes to commit perfidy - specifically false surrenders. Then again, if there are no rules, you can't break any...

[@joshuahogan3475]

Technically...if the CIS commanders broke the recognized Laws of War before the Jedi then they would no longer be protected BY the Laws of War. So...the Jedi would be free to break them as well without consequence.

Old Sheev gonna be zapping a lot of people once he finds out/ found out his super weapons were destroyed turning out to some of the biggest money pits for any regime. Also find out they were defeated by far cheaper and even less sophisticated weapons or tactics. Just makes me think of the robot chicken Parody. "What I still credit card payments to make on the death star" that is just one of several lines in the Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader phone call that cracks me up still to this day lol. Because Yes even Evil space wizards need credit cards for giant death machines they can't afford out right apparently.

[@Rocketknightgeek]

I see your efficiency from Poe Dameron and raise you killing an entire fleet of Star Destroyers with a lightsaber wielded while riding a tiny single pilot ship. And that was by an apprentice Sith. But that's because applying anything that even resembles scaling to Freemaker Adventures just results in pain. Or am I just wrong because the Kyber Saber would be priceless?

It's the 'Millenial Falcon' now days

[@jazermano]

My brain automatically cued up the Robot Chicken Horse skit: "What the heck is an Aluminum Falcon?! ... Now you listen here, get your 6 foot 4 asthmatic *ss back here, or else I'll tell the senate about Pandy Wing or Panda Bear, or whatever her name is!"

objection: the cost efficiency of the battle of yavin was not just a single proton torpedo for the death star. you failed to equate in lost x-wings, y-wings and missed proton torpedos. granted it's not really necessary given how expensive the death star was in comparison to said loses but still. accuracy is important when comparing cost efficiency.

One of the reasons I hated that pink haired woman from the sequels is because of how she treated Poe. There were 2 characters in that entire trilogy I like, Fin and Poe and Poe after destroyed starkiller base and essentially crippling that massive star destroyer, single handedly too, she demoted him and calls him a "fly boy" like lady Poe is probably the only reason why you'd go on to kamikaze all the baddies later on so shut up

[@Suisfonia]

Yea well, most of us don't consider the last three movies to be canon anyway. Plus that pink haired freak was really only put there to "give woman more visibility" (despite there being Leia, and a few others) as well as give the impression that they can command a ship as well.

[@matthewmohri9990]

I enjoy your channel a great deal, your views on The Star Wars Universe so this isn't direct at you Generation Tech, it's at Star Wars and its slow development in tech and a slight comparison and contrast to Star Trek tech. Yes 2 different franchises and slightly different philosophical views, but they both have their positive aspects. Imagine (if egos and money/legality was set aside and for once Star Trek and Star Wars had good writers again on the level of a young Lucas and Bradberry)if a movie could be made where the 2 Universes some how met each other and though there would be battles, the philosophical knowledge and changes each would possibly bring to each other would be awesome. It would be like combining The Neil Gaiman Sandman and Constantine Series that are/were more cerebral with The X-Men or Avengers Movies. It's time to write good New Star Wars movies again and not the fucking prequels and origin series for every little character that ever existed. Yet on a side note a Revan movie where his spirit inhabits a forgotten about clone from a hidden Kamino Facility in a new Star Wars series(not pre this or that but after episodes 7-9)would be pretty bad ass. I find it interesting that by the time you get to the advancement of Star Wars in tech, the economy is still based on the archaic and backwards concept of "Capitalism" Hell, even Adam Smith would ask why the hell an entire galaxy hasn't moved beyond that system. I'm also curious as to why Star Wars never developed "Transporters"? Even in the early 90's Teleportation was being worked on in the civilian Military Science Sector. In The Deep Black US Military Sector Transdimensional Physics had been mastered in the 1970's. Which itself is a form of Teleportation. So Star Wars in its next series needs to up its tech b/c even by today's standards in some ways it's old tech.
