Tantive III/Sundered Heart (CR70 Corvette) COMPLETE Breakdown

[@MetaNerdzLore]

it is "officially" pronounced Tan-tiv-ee like I mention at the end, but I laughed when I was grabbing clips for the next vid from the OG Battlefront 2, and noticed the great Temuera Morrison/Retired Clone Trooper narrating the 501st journal says it the way I prefer, Tan-tiv. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4iyomSKnJJ9mtk

The "Tan-tiv-ee" pronunciation dates back to the 1981 Radio Drama.

It's pretty crazy to think the Tantive was literaly the first ship we ever saw in Star Wars. It is truly one of the most important things in the whole franchise

[@-CrimsoN-]

And yet it rarely ever gets much attention! Completely overshadowed by the Falcon (but I mean that's fair. It's more iconic and appears much more frequently).

2:50 - escape pods cleverly disguised as cannon turrets... So, if the enemy shoots at your guns to destroy them (you know, normal behavior of any opposing ship, so that you don't hurt him any longer...) your escape Pods are gone - that doesn't sound very clever to me, more like a way to motivate the crew to fight harder ("they shot our escape Pods, we don't have any other means of survival - we will at least take a few more of them with us befor they get us!")

[@davetron3030]

Had the same thought. Disguising escape pods as something very likely to be targeted and fired upon during ship to ship combat doesn’t sound clever at all.

[@Taron_HaiTar]

There's 4 normal escape pods (those domes on the angled sides, if I remember correctly) besides those 2 high capacity with a turret escape pods, so it shoud be fine... until enemy ship "accidentally" destroyed normal escape pods and now you and your crew stuck with two high capacity pods, that enemy could shoot on the pretense of you "firing at them" or "faking surrender" with pod's turret.

[@rabenfuerst7332]

@@Taron_HaiTar according to the holocron, it has only 2 escape Pods - both of them with fake guns on them, making them legal targets...

[@Marcus_Berger1701]

I can't imagine that 600 people could fit into the ship. There is just not enough space without additional modules. They would have to lay around even in the conference room and in the hallways. When i was younger i imagined the ship much bigger. But now we have the floorplans and its actually pretty small. And i like that. It must have been a more personal experience than in a Star Destroyer with thousands of other personal. Love that ship.

[@rgw5991]

how many do you think it would fit then??

[@christianwilson5956]

This is one of the big issues with legends lore. There's not really a standard scale set between authors so many view these ships as unimaginably huge when they would really be quite small and cramped. I would say these ships would have similar crew sizes to a WWII frigate or destroyer.

[@InventorZahran]

⁠@@christianwilson5956Star Wars in general seems to be rather inconsistent with vehicle stats and scaling. I like to say "ships will be whatever size the plot requires, even if that means bigger on the inside".

[@ronjon7942]

I tend to agree - I think the 600-passenger spec would be for the much longer CR-70/90 variants, with spaceliner modules - which we just don’t see. But take a look at the variant with the hangar modules, and I think you could envision multiple decks of rows and rows of passenger seating, not unlike a 747 or A380. www.reddit.com/r/StarshipPorn/comments/8bb9mn/star_wars_farstar_mark_ii_by_adamkop_3200x1700/#lightbox

Tantive I and II were probably older ships belonging to the Princess of Alderaan in previous generations...

[@grayflaneur4854]

I have said it before and I will say it again, the behinds the scenes notes are wonderful. I have spent a big part of my life studying real life history (Mostly military as I was a soldier), but now I spend my later years on Star Wars lore as it has been with me as well since I was a little boy and Star Wars first appeared in theaters. Those notes help so much with helping others find new materials to enjoy. Great, high quality content. Can't understand why this channel is not as big as some other KZbin channels.

One of many missed opportunities in the sequels was not to include the sundered heart in any material

[@FireheartSamurai]

To be fair the Tantive 3/Sundered Heart, didn’t make many appearances in the current canon content. And if it did appear in the Sequels, it would’ve been at least over 40yrs old. Since it was old by the time of the Clone Wars & Galactic Civil War.

[@einfachignorieren6156]

To taint more of Star wars? Just leave it alone

[@slewone4905]

I do not think Sundered Heart, per say, but rather more Cr70s in Rogue one. We are to believe the rebels will use anything they can get their hands on. Their fleet is a hodge podge of vessels. And look how long Millenium falcon is used.

[@anonymousli4204]

[@feralprocessor9853]

Up to date lore vid on the CR70 Corvette

[@slewone4905]

I wanted to see more Cr70s in Rogue one. frankly I think it should show up in the animated stuff in the clone wars doing what it's nickname states, running blockades. I think the history is that Alderaan bought a whole bunch to help supply the Republic troops by running CIS blockades and before the Rebels unified, by helping individual rebellions by supplying food and maybe secretly weapons , claiming to the Emperor that they were merely humanitarian purpose and for the civilians hurt by the rebellions. When Alderaan was force to dismantle their military, many of them disappeared to the rebellion. I can understand the lack of CR70s in the early movies, but after Lucas , is should be somewhat common. The rebels use a mix group of ships they can get their hands on.

[@drewf41]

Its used a lot in the Rebels animated series. The crew is shown "stealing" a few of them from Leia.

[@isaackim7675]

The CR70s really outclass the Gozanti in terms of speed and armament

[@IsilmeTuruphant]

I gotta ask... Why on Earth would you disguise an escape pod as a *turret?* Wouldn't turrets be priority targets for attacking vessels? I would think disguising an escape pod as a turret would have the opposite of the desired effect (namely, *attracting* fire to it). I'd think you'd want to disguise escape pods as something the attacking ship wouldn't bother shooting at?

[@guts60]

For those wondering why R2-D2 didn’t have his memory wiped but C-3PO did, it’s actually for two probably reasons: 1) nobody cares about astromechs. They are typically treated the same way as mouse droids of Gonks. You don’t see them till you need them, you give them orders, then you go back to ignoring them. Anakin or Hera learning Binary to speak to their droids is a VAST exception 2) R2-D2 isn’t a snitch. C-3PO says he can’t wait till tell everyone about the birth of the twins, and he is known to casually surrender and give up information. R2-D2, on the other hand, is not only rather bratty to most people (but those he likes) but can easily be trusted to self-delete his memories in emergencies.

[@slewone4905]

I think after Star wars one, or first prequel, they rewarded R2 with an upgrade, and maybe they forgot, R2 is not just any astromech.

[@sentrysapper45]

@@sonofeyeabovealleffoff5462 I know the size difference was probably just due to game mechanics, but it would be interesting if CEC built upscaled CR90s as more of a dedicated frigate, cruiser or indeed carrier. We've seen upscaled variants of iconic ships before like the Recusant and Providence dreadnought variants for the CIS and the Final Order's Xyston Star Destroyers in ROS, so it's not like it would be an unprecedented move.

"Escape Pods cleverly disguised as turrets" Ah yes, disguise your escape pod as a weapon emplacement, something that we know in canon is a primary target for fighters doing strafing runs, I'm sure no collateral damage to the escape pod could happen.

Star wars would not be star wars if it wasn't for his wife. New Hope would be like the Prequels if it wasn't for his wife and others editting out some of Lucas's stuff. I am shock they let him name stuff. I will call the sea monsters aliens Calamari. and the fat rebel porky. This is why there is a fight on what the dark side of the force is. Lucas wanted to borrow from Taoism, but he also wanted a fight of good and evil. But you see people still trying to bring the force in line with the Taoist belief, of the dark side is not evil. You will see in the books, that there is Grey Jedis and you will remember, Qui Gon Jinn is saying we need balance in the force, and his master Count Dooku wasn't evil but try to balance the two, and now we got the Merrin, from jedi survivor being a dark force user , but a good guy. and we have to see where Ashoka goes, because remember, she realize Jedi's aren't really good, and left , and knew Darth maul has a point. I was hoping that we find out the villains of Ashoka are really grey Jedis who seek balance. also , remember Anakin is teaching Ashoka from the dead, and he is switching back and forth from his dark and light side, and in the end, Ashoka flashed some dark side attributes, and then we got the whole father and the son and daughter. The father is the good guy and wants balance, we need to ask what is the mother, since, the daughter is light, and son is dark. I say the mother is the imbalance. Oh and my go to. The opposite of hate is not love, but indifference. The Jedi is against strong attachment, aka love, and disapprove of marriage. That means Love, or more precisely passion is a dark side attribute, but can you say love is an evil thing. oK love of Padme led Anakin to the dark side, but love of his son, redeemed him.

Agreed but i always figured any ship borne weapons {so even these escape pod mounted ones} need to be tied into the ship's engines/reactor. Unlike handheld blasters with a replaceable power cells.
