[@michaelramon2411]

The Rebel infantry survived because no matter how many were killed, there were always more people who hated the Empire enough to go out and get shot at just to hit back somehow. ...You'd think a government run by a Sith Lord would have understood that hatred is an infinite resource.

[@demonicaxeman7264]

It is very possible that Palpatine understood that fact. In one of the canon Vader comics, Palpatine explains to Vader that having enemies is the price of power and that there is no limit to how many enemies you get to kill. With that said, it was Palpatine’s own arrogance that he lost at Endor.

Mission failed sucessfully

[@kiankruger4587]

Does anybody think that they should release a stormtrooper movie? Yet this time it’s not some cliche ‘join the rebel side after seeing the dark side of the Empire’, but rather stay part of the Empire. Like some guy starting of on a low class planet being harassed by pirates. Later the Empire frees the planet from their oppressors, but during the chaos many of the townsmen including some of his loved ones are killed thus giving him a reason to join the military to seek justice in bringing order to the galaxy and seeking to preventing a similar situation somewhere in the galaxy. So him and a couple of friends join the stormtrooper corps and set off. Later when the rebels start to grow in number and he gets first hand experience in fighting them he is given a choice to join the rebel alliance, but as stated he refuses and accepts the imperial truth as the only truth: ‘Rebels are scum’. As the movie progresses many of his friends die during battle making him more battle hardened and increases his hatred towards the rebel alliance. He also rises to the ranks making him more badass as the movie continues. References to dumb stuff that happened in the movies could be included like why they can’t shoot straight etc. This even gives the people behind star wars a chance to expand the lore on stormtrooper rankings and variations of different stormtroopers in the new canon.Then for a final it could have him return to his home world for a deployment as his home world has joined/supported the rebellion and must be forced to comply with imperial rule once again, yet the man that left the planet years ago is no more. Here he can be faced with a familiar face(maybe a girl he liked or an old friend who didn’t join the Empire long ago or even a sibling) who has joined the rebellion, this leads to an epic showdown between the two( although who wins could go either way: him winning and just brushing the person off as another rebel scum and continuing on until he is brutally murdered by a fuzzy bear and eaten alive(just joking) or him just dying and thus becoming a tragedy of war where he just wanted to help by doing what he thought was right and might i add the only thing he could do in his position to help, showing that the war between the Empire and Rebels has no good side). I feel like this would perfectly depict the Imperial’s point of view as the rebels would be depicted as terrorists finally humanizing the Empire or stormtroopers. I also think that this movie shouldn’t be rated for younger kids as it focuses more on infantry life not some plot armored hero who kills the bad guys with a swing of his genitalia. I don’t know just my thoughts.

[@imppro]

I agree. Perfect idea.

[@Aewon84]

Problem is that it's kind of like trying to humanise the Nazis. It just doesn't work. Many of the people who work and fight for the Empire might be decent, but the Empire itself is wholly evil. Not to mention its leader is a Sith. Alternatively, what they could do is tell the story of two friends close as brothers who ends up on opposite sides of the war. Eventually they meet, and they fight to the death. Before that, though, I want to see a post-Episode IX Luke Skywalker movie (assuming he returns to life), a Darth Maul film that ties together Solo with the Season 2 finale of Rebels where Maul trains Qi'ra in the ways of the dark side of the Force, a bro-mance film with Finn and Poe (after Episode IX) where they travel the galaxy in search of Finn's past, and a film about the post-Episode IX Jedi Order. The latter could alternatively be a trilogy. Edit: What would be cool in the Finn film is if Captain Phasma somehow survived Episode VIII (she might have fallen through the flaming inferno rather than into it) and that she's the main antagonist, and relentlessly pursues Finn and Poe across the galaxy.

[@marcuskurze9759]

Well how many died on Alderaan?Quite a bit more right?So save your hyppocritic attempts to be morale Imp.

[@DavidRichardson153]

Given that it was an insurgency, these flaws aren't really a surprise; they were entirely expected. The one tactical advantage that insurgencies have against professional armies is actually their lack of organization; without a command structure - which is what regular professional troops are trained exclusively in (only SpecForces are trained to operate for extended periods without a central command) - it is extremely difficult to completely purge an insurgency, from local to galactic, without annihilating the entire field of operations, which, in this case, quite a few Imperial high officers did - works well in pure battlefields, not so much in civilian centers. Alderaan's destruction - and the Tarkin doctrine in general - made it relatively easy for an insurgency to form and/or continue despite Imperial efforts; the most effective Imperials for combating the rebels were the ones who did not follow the Tarkin doctrine - who practiced what the rebels did: hearts and minds. In a war of attrition, an insurgency is more likely to win because a professional army is entirely dependent on its organization and logistics. If either are disrupted, especially logistics, the army will fall apart, but if engaged in an actual fight, even if logistics are disrupted, the army almost always wins. These flaws, which are inherent in all insurgencies, are why the rebels avoided full ground battles wherever they could and why they lost most of the battles they couldn't avoid.

The fact that their grasp on battlefield tactics are crap in every battle they have ever fought? Hoth, Endor (the space part, the ambush was surprisingly a good idea), Yavin IV, Starkiller base, Scariff (space part, the ambush on the ground had some good ideas behind it though, likely due to the lack of the usual command issuing dumb orders) and Crait.. Space battles were risk everything, especially the ones targeted by the super weapons. Land battles consisted of shallow trenches and head on assaults against superior fire power... use some damn tactics! You never get the sense that their soldiers survive due to being good, just lucky.

Well remember they need the most cinematographic set ups, ones that are visually interesting, over what would be the most tactically prudent. Movies end up a LOT shorter when combat is just BOOM and over with.

[@Senovitj]

@@DonaldWWitt that is likely the reason, yet Hoth and Crait seem to be inspired by Japanese kamikaze pilots attacking big American ships. The cinematographic of such an attack might be spectacular, but the decision for such a suicidal waste is still obvious. I have seen plenty of battles in other movies (ww2, lotr, Vietnam, Crusades, Ancient times like Rome and Greece, Middle Ages, etc.), where it looked gorgeous and the tactics deployed had merits to them, so having both is possible. Nien Nunb, who was in the Falcon during the battle of Endor and at the end of TLJ.. he have had 30+ years to become the most awesome badass fighter for the Resistance and to be given leadership responsibilities, yet he still survives due to nothing, but luck.

Wait, you don't see the Rebel Infantry in the original trilogy? Empire Strikes Back called and would like you to review the Battle of Hoth. They were horribly outgunned and out manned, but they held the line long enough for almost all of the Rebels and their equipment to escape. They had crew serviced weapons, but no artillery, armored vehicles of any kind, or anti-armored vehicle weapons. If the Imperial walkers weren't so slow and had to cover so much distance to get into range after having to land so far away (thanks Admiral Ozzel, you let the Rebels escape and win the war, enjoy your force choking) they would have slaughtered the light infantry line. There was enough Rebel infantry that they did make an armored approach to the base the only viable option, however.

[@dustinshadle732]

top down, most of those in charge fielded more belief in a purpose over skills, since those at the top of rebel command really weren't soldiers or tacticians. there were few with the understanding of say, admiral Akbar, or a contemporary on the ground. ground units being more likely to be captured, they likely could only afford to train their special forces way behind safe lines, so that by the time the special forces were deployed to Target or Intel gathering, the top special forces personnel and materials were probably off to the next job and couldn't be traced back to a source and eliminated. these facilities likely kept moving after each batch we're trained, perhaps even while they were training even. kinda crude to do on the roll, but it would keep security breaches from ever being very successful

He expected the Imperial Ground Forces to attack from an easier accessable area. But General Veers choose a different, more difficult route over a glacier area, he lost several of his units on that route, but still managed to reach the defense line of the rebels, which had no heavy artillery of any kind.

One of the good things about more independent forces is that they get to make decisions much faster. Comparable to the Wehrmacht in some way.

[@drunkgerman8909]

all depends on perspective a great peace loving emperor or a crazy kid that had no problem killing 2 million imperials but once it comes to his dad its all i see good in you

[@bushidok9180]

Lol skewed perspective. I get it ur a thrawn fan im also a thrawn fan and a Chiss ascendancy fan. But calling a kid crazy for blowing up a moon sized weapon that is basically designed to hold the galaxy hostage DARE I SAY use terror to keep "peace" vs an Emperor that is so deeply attuned to the dark side he became a raisin , with no regard for imperial or ANY lives. Sidious was using the empire and everything he had for his own personal goals. Blowing up a planet vs blowing up a planet killer military space station is not the same. They didnt even care about their own pilots. Here have a mass produced TIE fighter with no shields basically a paper ship. Enslaving other species and completely strip mining planets and leaving the populace to fend for themselves.

@@bushidok9180 A great tactician creates plans. A good tactician recognizes the soundness of a plan presented on him. A fair tactician must see the plan succeed before offering approval.

Planet Goddess you be surprised on how many rebel fans that call themselves star wars fans take this fictional franchise too seriously, they just love comparing real life history with the empire and the rebel alliance while acting very authoritian on anyone that simply just likes the empire over the rebels (ironic isn't it) and yet it's ok to like villains from other franchise that have done far worse that it makes the Empire's killings look like child's play. These rebel fans are fakers.

[@gabrieltejada1697]

Planet Goddess what's your point then? I simply stop being a fan of a FICTIONAL faction just because they are based on a real life regime? I guess that means i should stop liking predators (yautja), aliens (xenomorphs and genocidal btw), Thanos, Magneto, General RAAM, Sektor, the Joker, Bane, Venom, Carnage, Vader, Revan, Scarecrow, Black Manta, Lex Luthor, Deadshot, and Deathstroke. Most of the characters I listed are villains or have been anti heros at times but as for the ones that have been purely evil like the Joker and Carnage for example both have done TONS of evil things and yet they both have loads of fans despite being villains yet strangely when it comes to star wars especially in the OT era it's always the fans that likes the "good guys" that tend to start drama with the imperial fans. It's ridiculous and pointless and only makes you people look like authoritive assholes who tries to stop people liking different things which is bitter irony. Becoming what you hate, which is the nazis whom are a long dead regime and barely have any remnants left but you know what I'm fine with that, keep up the act because makes us empire fans look civil and reasonable unlike the rebel alliance fanbase. 😉

This channel should do a video each for The Empire and The Rebellion versus The Diabolical Dolphin Dominion. I'm sure The Empire and The Rebellion have some sort of aquatic specialized military units and vehicles, and so it'll be both entertaining and useful to create and develop effective military maneuvers and tactics against the cruelly creative and creatively cruel water demons.

[@thedarkknight727]

Jesus the comment section, filled with a bunch of naive Impiral fanboys, they don't see the bigger picture, but that's only there opinion though. But just remember the Rebellion killed thousands on the Death Star to save the Galaxy from further destruction, while the Empire killed even more thousands not only in Alderman but in other planets as well out of a simple grudge.

[@Channelthatprovidesplaylists]

The Dark Knight THANK YOU

[@drunkgerman8909]

yet what did it achieve the new republic couldn't hold against the vong forcing them to change so in the end they really fought for nothing (dont mind the rebels just prefer the empire except tarkin he was a huge idiot that didn't know how normal people react) end of the day a mixture of republic and empire is what the galaxy really needs the reoublic was way to flawed and forced planets to remain in it just like the empire

[@johanneisenach8825]

The Empire can do with terrorist want they want in their own galaxy....like blowing up their planet. If there were never terrorists in the empire, there never had been the destruction of alderaan.

[@drunkgerman8909]

but will have to make a small correction the rebels killed millions of imperials on the 1st death star alone afterwards celebrated the fact they plunged the entire galaxy into a depression that would make the american depression look like a joke which probably killed many millions more indirectly

great vid, despite the lack of a standing ground force they still won, which makes tehir victory that much more impressive, tho they only won cause of luke and vader, had the event never happened the rebels would have def lost, and if we take the new disney canon into account they pretty much lost anyways, but we will have to see what happens with ep 9.

[@gabrieltejada1697]

Wolfheri K Because many other franchises aren't pussies like star wars and always have at least a few stories that show things from the other's point of view yet when it comes to star wars somehow it's off limits outside of a few novels or comics here and there. If you looked up everything in the lore you would know that the rebel alliance aren't angels either. There is no true good side or bad, good and evil are simply tools for a means of controlling the masses to obey whoever is in control.

[@legionarybooks13]

Heck, we don't even get to see the Rebel troops in action on Endor. They are mostly just window dressing prior to the battle (I don't think any of them have a single line of dialog in the entire film), and after the fighting breaks out, they up and disappear. I recall one dude with a captured stormtrooper blaster let off a couple shots at speeder bikes at the beginning, but he's barely visible in the foreground. Another is shown for about two seconds diving behind cover while getting shot at. Aside from that, the entire ground battle is nothing but Care Bears on crack, whose rock spears and wooden clubs are somehow effective against stormtrooper armour.

[@joshuastarkloff9602]

The soldiers seen on Scariff are special forces as well. They're rebel Specforce Pathfinders. Actual boots on the ground rebels were only seen on Hoth.

Basically, Rebel Alliance training could be considered the equivalent of the training that the continental army received during the American revolutionary war, basically because the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars was in the same boat as the Americans were in during the revolutionary war as both were going up against fully trained professional soldiers backed by an empire
