I’ve never liked how the Empire spent so much time and resources training top-of-the-line, highly skilled pilots who could hold their own in a dogfight against equally skilled pilots, yet put them in the death trap that was the standard TIE Fighter. Imagine how much better everything could’ve been for the starfighter corps if Palps spent less time spending money on the second Death Star and took Thrawn’s advice in spending that money on more TIE Defenders or Interceptors. Many capable pilots with high potential had their skills gymped by such fighters.

Maybe if the head officer of the tie defender and advanced projects, admiral Zaarin, wasnt a traitor. One of the problems the super advanced imperial starfighters had is some of the most important personal behind them ended up being traitors...

If a tie pilot was serving in a ship fighting against pirates rather than the rebellion, their life would be much longer

A very interesting video, particularly that a fighter pilot's life expectancy was very limited. I also liked the comparison of ranks pre and post Yavin.

For instahce the death star meeting tagge held 6 red tiles and four code cylinders while motti held 6 blue and 4 code cylinders the military had to make a change to insure the high admirals and high generals didn't outrank each other

@ImperialsExplained 9 ай бұрын

If you look very closely, both only had three code cylinders. Only Tarkin had four. However, this related to access onboard to the Death Star.

A lot of this goes against canon sources as in LOST STARS Ciena Ree was a Navy Lt. and pilot she also kept her navy ranks of Lt. Commander and Commander. Never referred to as Flight Commander.

The reason is that it's from Legends sources

@mattt233 9 ай бұрын

@@ImperialsExplained it's ok. They can't even keep thing straight in camon. They have Thrawn use Ranks where a Navy Captain is above a Commander. This is AFTER Lost Stars when they literally lay out entire naval ranks.

@ilikepigeons6101 Thanks, my friend 👍 l am still hanging in there with my content despite the Star Wars decline in interest. I have resorted to Legends material again recently, as l was disappointed with the Ashoka series. It almost felt like the series wasn't needed as Ashoka is a fairly minor canon character. They should have simply started with Thrawn is back and created a flashback for how he returned....or something.

Wait! You almost convinced me with the beautifull King Doran's chart where Starfighter Corps where shown as Blue and Yellow plaques but here you show Blur and Red? I'm confused again

@ImperialsExplained 9 ай бұрын

I realized during the making of this video that the Starfighter Corp rank plaques on King Doran's chart are incorrect placed under the wrong branch and, in fact, are part of the aligned to the Stormtrooper Corp officer uniform. For example, Praji and Childsen from A New Hope. It says in Star Wars Lore that the Starfighter Corp ranks were aligned to the Navy line plaques.

@@stefano1895 It looks to me very much to be the case. I had a sneaky suspicion they were Stormtrooper ranks until I actually researched it further. I often get comments from subs saying there isn't a system but that's because Lucasfilm or Disney have never fully tried to explain the subject, just parts. That's where I come in to explain this stuff lol

Are these ranks the same ones in the st corp ranks video. Also are the st corp ranks red or blue?

@ImperialsExplained 9 ай бұрын

The Stormtrooper ranks video l made was literally just about the pauldrons rank markings when in their armor. It appears the Stormtrooper ranks are mainly blue tiles, but in some cases will include Yellow tiles, for example, Praji.
