[@dblevins343]

I agree, I find this really odd. When I read this book I was just stuck sitting there thinking, don't you have better spies and infiltration specialist? Why use the Rogues. The Rogues should be in the skies. This was the most boring book of the 4 IMO because there is almost no flying.

[@michaell8000]

yeah it's one of the weakest parts of the series if you wanted an ace squadron on hand I get that but they shouldn't have been the central part of the offensive

[@BringDHouseDown]

I guess the idea is, they need to be good enough to escape should the situation arise and they are the target of a hot pursuit, that would require an experience star pilot, that is undercover and not relying on anyone except the provider of the starship or fighter with hyperdrives, and if he got the information he needs, and needs to get out, and to ensure the information will return to base no matter what he may come across, you would need an experienced starfighter pilot

There are so many reasons why I prefer the old EU (I rarely call it Legends), but one of the many reasons was because the authors weren’t afraid of writing about the small battles as well as the large ones. They put details in what some would consider footnotes of history. Hell, there was a short comic about Mara and Luke’s wedding that put the spotlight on a group of Imperial loyalists who wanted to sabotage it, and they nearly succeeded. Things like that could easily be disregarded to a sentence of exposition. I miss the old EU. I miss the creativity that flooded the minds of people like Timothy Zahn, Arron Allston, Troy Denning, Drew Karpyshyn, Karen Traviss, and so, SO many more. I tried to get my brother interested in The Old Republic era but he waved it off as “stretching too much” and said he wasn’t interested in the history and lore of a series he likes. I just want to know if he’s part of a small minority or is that a common belief among the current fandom of Star awards?

One can only imagine the fear of the poor captains defending the planet. "That's strange, I wasn't expecting two SDs to show up toda-." And then, the Mon Calimaris start to jump out alongside them. The realization of the actual ownership of the vessels. And seeing ship after ship appear in front of you. And of course, the sickening feeling, knowing that there is no way the planet would drop its defenses to let you retreat in this situation. No matter what faith those captains had in the planetary shields. It would be quite obvious that if nothing else, they themselves could not escape. Even if the rebels failed, those captains had to have realized that they would not hold out long enough against such force to survive until reinforcements came.

[@cgi2002]

Well from the tactics he used, I'm going with "mass murder of hundreds of millions possibly billions of civilians" just to destroy the generators, it's quite likely he killed nearly as many civilians in this single battle as the empire did in several years.

[@dianabarnett6886]

To be fair, Wedge was given a very small amount of time to pull off the ridiculous feat of dropping both of Coruscant's planetary shields before the rebel fleet arrived. (Yeah, TWO shields) They'd tried and failed to sneak some backdoor code into the city's central computer, so this was the only remotely plausible idea the Rogues had left.

*gets hearted by Eckhart* A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@terryforsdyke306]

@@cgi2002 there would have been almost no loss of life, Coruscant was subject to fast forming and fast disipating electrical storms so there were lightning rods everywhere, those would have protected civilians and massively reduced civilian casualties, only people who were outside at the time would have been at any risk and very few people had cause to ever go outside, the plan was to overload the power grid and force it to be shut down, which is exactly what happened. generators were not destroyed relays may have been but a significant part of the objective was to limit damage so power could be restored quickly

[@forgottenfamily]

@@cgi2002 Wedge's tactics would not reasonably be expected to kill more civilians than most other approaches and the civilian impact was taken into account but there is one reality worth noting: there's almost no way to liberate a planet of a trillion without killing millions of civilians. Also worth noting that when Lusankya blasted free, the devastation her departure caused coupled with the impact of the Krytos virus far exceeded civilian deaths from the New Republic invasion and left a lasting memory for the local populace.

[@drewbryk]

Its pretty wild given how many authors worked on EU material that literally no one could come up with a plot other than "a strike team will disable the shields from the inside." This is the solution to every tactical problem in Star Wars

[@cgi2002]

Yeah but usually they are far cleaner than this. Think about it, creating super storms (which can't be aimed) to destroy several well armoured buildings on a planet with a population of over a trillion people. The civilian casualties would have numbered in the billions, the collateral damage would have devastated most of the planet. Really taking the planet would have been far simpler, you don't need a fleet or an invasion. A simple uprising would have cost far less lives, the planets garrison couldn't have numbered more than a few million, I really doubt they could have stopped the civilians simply taking it.

[@dianabarnett6886]

It's classic siege warfare. When you come up against a fortress with impenetrable defense, you can a) simply go around it and strike at more vulnerable targets, b) surround it and starve the occupants out, or c) find a way to sneak someone in and open the doors from inside. Rebel command decided against A; they wanted Coruscant, and they wanted it before some warlord beat them to it, for both its strategic and symbolic importance. They ruled out B, because they'd be vulnerable to those same warlords if they deployed their forces to blockade the planet, and the civilian population, especially the non-human population, would suffer. They needed a decisive victory.

[@cgi2002]

@@dianabarnett6886 that's the thing tho. Realistically a siege of Coruscant would last at most a few weeks. The planet simply can't feed itself. Yes there would have been civilian casualties but the important part for the rebels is who would be to blame. In a siege the empire is to blame for the deaths as they failed to surrender or share supplies. But with this attack, the rebels are directly responsible for billions of civilian casualties, mass destruction of vital infastructure, and they still had to fight a battle afterwards to take the planet. It's actually reasonable to assume given what would have been destroyed infrastructure wise, that as many as half of the planets population would have died in the following weeks, as all spaceport facilities are damaged, all atmospheric controls are damaged, weather control is damaged (and the storms they caused would last for weeks or even months), the vast majority of key engineers, civil servants and business leaders who a new government would need also live in the upper levels,and can therefore be assumed to either be dead, or hostile to the rebels now due to them trying to kill them. Basically what the rebels did is turn Courscant into a giant slum, unable to feed itself, with few if any core systems operating. And the rebellion don't have the manpower to restore order, so without a healthy dose of plot armour, in a single act they just lost all their credibility, and turned most of the galaxies key planets against them As if the cost of liberation from the Empire is the complete devastation of your world, it's just not worth it.

[@terryforsdyke306]

the plan was to use the storm to overload the power grid, that worked, it did little damage and caused very minimal loss of life especialy when compaired to the exit of Lusanka or the Krytos virus. the full plan was to use the construction droid to force evacuation of the mirrror control facility, then take the facility (which worked, maybe a dozen imperials killed) then use the mirror to evaporate a resivour to cause a storm, and use lightining strikes to take down the power grid (again that worked, as storms on Courscant were extremely fierce lightning rods were everywhere, the only real damage was to power relays) that is where the plan hit a problem, there was a second backup power grid, a centeral relay station had to be killed, the concussion missiles on a headhunter were not up to the job but a TIE used as a guided missile was.

[@cgi2002]

@@terryforsdyke306 yes that was the "plan" but it's BS. This is an EU novel, thus EU figures need to be used for power generation, shield strength, weapons, etc. By that logic it would take a few hundred thousand lightening strikes to bring down the weakest of shields, and probably a few hundred billion to overload a power grid. Yes, SW EU uses stupidly insane figures that have no basis in reality. So going by that logic, the surface of the planet would have had thousands of lightening strikes per square metre, if not more, that would quite literally cook the atmosphere itself, cause building materials to liquify and kill anything. Now take into account that the shield facility would really have been an armoured fortified structure, capable of withstanding turbolaser hits, you may need to scale the storm up even more. In truth the Lusankia's launch would have caused a fraction of the casualties this did. Even less if you think about it, the empire wouldn't have had it in an area with lots of civilians around, most industrial, as to lower the chance of anyone accidentally finding it.

Couple interesting points about this battle. *Wedge's mission was to disable the planetary shields, not destroy them. The New Republic wanted to be able to turn around and use them to defend against any counterattack. After destroying the shield control center, they simply programmed the construction droid they were on the build another one. *The captain (and crew for that matter) of the interdictor cruiser tasked with the go/no-go decision for the rest of the fleet had only VERY recently defected from the Empire. She was humble by the amount of trust the New Republic was giving her.

A let's play would be a cool way to add more content to your channel!

[@KingdomH342]

Will you ever cover the Stargate franchise, its got some great ships. Speaking of which try Stargates Wraith Hive-ship vs an Executor Super Star Destroyer, and there has been a strong lack of starship vs lately.

[@jayburn00]

Some good stargate battles that ecks would do a good job with: the battle of asuras (atlantis), the destruction of anubis's superweapon (which is almost, but not quite, a rip off of the trench run in episode 4, but is more of a tribute, as it does some original stuff as well including clever usage of previously shown technology from earlier episodes) (sg1), the sabotage and ultimate destruction of Apophis's earth bound ships(sg1), the "simultaneous destruction of the milkyway replicators, overthrowing of Baal by the free Jaffa, and neutralization of anubis" (sg1), the first battle for atlantis (atlantis), the attempted invasion of earth by anubis (the president actually has the spine to troll him while also firing his conniving and cowardly vice president) (sg1), the battles against the wraith super hive ship (series finale of Atlantis), and the simultaneous destruction of a wraith hive ship and ori mothership (sg 1). I think two, at most three of these were covered by spacedock, but ecks would do well with these I think, as some of them are similar in structure and theme to the rogue squadron battles, using absolutely creative (translation: crazy and bonkers, though making sense sort of) strategies and tactics. Oh, and I forgot the battle where sg1 deliberately blows up a sun to destroy a resurgent Apophis's armada, that would be a good one too. I probably missed a few that ecks would do a good job with, add to the list I created if you like.

I would religiously watch a lets play done by Eck of the new Dome game when it comes out... If he is in the middle of playing and just stops to point out something interesting or starts talking about the lore behind the demons he is in the middle of fighting it would be amazing!

[@matthewdamm7126]

Love your vids the Vendor was my fav ship in Star Wars

[@VideoNinjaJim]

Can we get some full breakdowns of Wraith Squadrons insane Mission Impossible style Plans? Looking forward for a whole series for "Mercy Kill" [X-wing book 10] Alone.

[@mightystriker3255]

This comment is over used

[@mightystriker3255]

All ships deploy in battle formation d-18. May the force be with you

[@barrybend7189]

Zentradi Complete dolas fleet( SDF Macross) vs High Charity and its defense fleet( Halo).

[@qinntt]

You should do a galactic vs with the imperium of Man vs the forerunners from Halo

[@user-Jay178]

Rouge squadron is awesome and cool.

[@radiactivexd882]

Hey eck, I think you should check Star Wars comics video about him reviving Star Wars 1313, we need people to spread the word!!!

[@-CrimsoN-]

Much better than the canon "liberation of Coruscant". In canon, Coruscant doesn't even put up a fight. The unnamed Imperial commander in charge of the garrison basically just secedes the planet to the New Republic, even though it is likely the most well defended planet in the entire galaxy.

[@Midheaven616]

Wedge Antilles NEEDS his own show.

[@gerardclarke1001]

Im currently attacking coruscant in my empire at war campaign. Suffice to say the empire has a massive with a capital M fleet protecting the planet ( as in 6 imperial 2s, 5 imperial star destroyes, 10 victories and victory 2, and a whole bunch of smaller ships)

[@Gingerking_45]

lol at 21 seconds that statue is so going to fall on people hahahahah

[@parkerparrish4491]

You should do a video on the Fall of Cadia in 40k breakdown video.

[@oscarls8539]

the ending never gets old

[@kemper3530]

Love your content man

[@jeffreylessard7538]

I read Wedge's Gamble but video was entertaining either way.

[@jessemarcus]

Have you looked into the book series written by David Weber known as the Honorverse series? A universe that spans over 30 books, and half a dozen factions.

[@MarkyLeShark96]

I didn’t realize there was a stormtrooper being toss like a rag doll in the crowd

[@tdogtbird9250]

I just realized it you look on the celebrating crowd on coruscant you can see a stormtrooper or two dangling in the crowd.

[@kamenriderblade2099]

If you can cover more Star Trek, Babylon 5, Firefly; that would be great =D

[@Palpatine001]

How this part of the New Republic should have played out in the Sequels - Ep VII - The Battle of Coruscant MK2 giving memories of the first one in RotS, Ep VIII allow Thrawn to create merry hell, Ep IX? Introduction of Rae. This allows a good transition over and set up for 10-12

[@shaunalbert63]

Hey could you do a video on the history of wedge that would give more insight into exactly who he is

[@AltSchwiftSiberia]

Can you link that other crazy moment in SW Legends that you mentioned? Where Issa (spelling?) escapes Coruscant? Thanks for the great content. I'd love to see you talk about the Nao Nao (spelling again) with HiddenXperia, comparing it to the Flood. I've seen the video you did on it, but I think his energy would be a great counter to your calm demeanor.

[@VegetaLF7]

Ysanne Isard is how her name is spelled. Here is the video talking about the Lusankya's escape, that crazy moment mentioned. Note, the Battle of Coruscant in this video takes place in book 2 of the X-Wing series, while the Lusankya video is in book 3. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqu0k5-cqM-dis0
