Star Wars: 10 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About The Empire

[@Jourell1]

Despite Vader's legendary hatred of the officers in general, many stormtroopers actually admired him. There was a mutual respect between him and the 501st as fellow warriors, similar to how Anakin had treated the clones during the clone wars. Of course they feared him but Vader often fought alongside of them and there were those who appreciated that he was a straight forward, if brutal, man who didn't go for the political scheming common among the officer ranks. He was less forgiving to stormtroopers not directly under his command however

[@georgieboy9101]

These were good points. If this saga wasn't fiction, the Empire would have eradicated the rebellion completely.

[@SuspiciousAnomoly]

Eeeeh, probably not easily. The empire did have their strengths and weaknesses. For one they weren’t really a force that was meant for open warfare. The empire was meant to oppress and occupy. They wanted to instill fear and control. No doubt they still packed quite the punch, but they weren’t as effective as a fighting force by comparison to other militarized organizations, like the GAR & CIS, who were directly meant for open combat. 2, the rebellion is larger than most people think. Still much smaller than the empire but still plenty large enough to have many fleets and a standing army, definitely not as large as the empires though, but large enough. Their tactics directly countered empirical strategies which made them more effective. Such as their hit and run tactics. But the rebels DID indeed have their own alliances, like their moncalamari alliance, and they did have their own shipyards and factories, capital ships etc. they weren’t like the resistance where it’s just a few remnants of a greater power. Remember that the rebels were large enough to take over as the governing body. We have seen countries beat the odds irl, even though fighting against a higher power. Like how the Japanese although much smaller, crushed the more powerful Russian empire in 1905.

[@TheShow684]

7:36 The reason they fail so much is 1. No shields 2. No eyesight

[@nathanhodges411]

The tie fighter is actually worse than xwings. They had very limited visibility because of the one window in front and the massive panels for wings that further block their side vision. Also not having shields is a huge disadvantage and their maneuverability is lessened by the massive panel wings. They’re all around worse vehicles than the rebel’s ships.

[@rachelprighel4409]

Exactly

[@petercutrera2188]

I respectfully disagree. The TIE fighter's sensors placed all targets around the fighter on a screen in front of the pilot, so visual spotting was unnecessary. Shields, while useful, were not the huge advantage they are thought to be. After all, in the Battle of Yavin, several (shielded) X-Wings and Y-Wings were destroyed by a single shot from a TIE fighter. Also, A-Wing pilots often had the shields removed from their fighters to get a speed advantage. I will cede to point about the panel wings, but the maneuverability hinderance is really only applicable in atmosphere. Their biggest disadvantage was giving the TIE fighter a larger target profile. I think this is why the advanced prototype, and the later interceptor, had the bent wings. TIE fighters were shown to be equal, at least, or better than the X-Wings in maneuverability in the Battle of Yavin when the only way an X-Wing escaped a TIE on their back was to have another X-Wing shoot it off. Otherwise, the X-Wing was destroyed.

[@Enjay001]

Would it have been so hard for the TIE fighter designers to put cameras on the outside of the ships to fill in the blind spots? I mean, I've driven cars and vans with side and rear cameras that give pretty good all-round vision. Surely the designers of a space ship could have done similar?

[@MsOpportunity68]

@@Enjay001 Going back to the 1994 TIE-Fighter this is essentially what they did. Whereas in X-Wing when you went to the views around the interior ship you could tell it was essentially another viewpoint of the same cockpit as with the Assault-Gunboat Cockpits in TIE-Fighter in the TIE's themselves you essentially saw a monitor view of that particular position. Unfortunately as the only interior view we ever see in a TIE Fighter is a close-up of the pilot looking away and up from the cockpit instruments so the only things we can tell is that the cockpit seems roomier than the diecast toys would have you believe and that although obstructed the pilot had a view out of the top of the cockpit which could at least help pick up some "visual scanning" when bringing a target too bear (although turning one's head in the flight suit may have been a problem). I always look at the TIE-Fighter as being the Japanese zero quick and nimble in comparison to their US counterparts, and in A New Hope, it is only through teamwork that the wingmen are able to take down an already target-fixated enemy similar to the "Thatch-Weave" tactics employed by the US fighters in the Pacific theater in WW2.

According to the '96 The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels there were actually three Death Star's. The first was a prototype that was little more than the reactors, the superlaser and an outside skeleton and looked a lot like the DS Tarkin, Vader and Palpatine are looking at near the end of Revenge of the Sith, 04:12 in this video. It was destroyed about 10 years after the first one was destroyed because the place it was built was super secret to the point that they had no idea that the Empire had even fallen. It wasn't powerful enough to crack into a planet's core to destroy it but could render a planet inhospitable. It only had sublight engines and was a prototype to build the superlaser but it was still a big enough threat that The New Republic took it out

Fun fact: The emperor's tower contained everything he might need for an extended stay. Heavily shielded, private docking port, personal quarters, a galaxy map, numerous comm arrays... And here's the fun part: No toilet (not even in the personal quarters), but it DOES have a shaft leading directly down to the reactor. Coincidence? I think not. Also the second Death Star was a literal order of magnitude larger than the first Death Star. It had three reactors, two dedicated only to the laser. (Among other things significant changes, such as housing a tremendous number of troops and ships, like a hundred times more than the original.) It wasn't simply a copy of the DS1, and you can't simply scale up the DS1 either. Doesn't work that way. Imagine if someone took a Ford F150 and made it 10x bigger. You couldn't drive the thing, the distance from the seat to the pedals would be like 3 stories. It would've needed to be designed and built from scratch, and thus it makes ZERO sense that it was completed more quickly. Zero. The Mandalorian officially made it canon that Stormtroopers have bad aim. Migs Mayfield used to be an Imperial sharpshooter, and when Din Jarin critized him he snaps back "Hey I wasn't a Stormtrooper, wiseass!" Honestly probably due largely to those extremely bulky helmets. If you own a rifle try shouldering it and sighting in a target, then try putting on a motorcycle helmet and repeating the same shot. See if you get even close.

[@danwhitesall3521]

@@adamb89 I read somewhere (20+ yrs) that the 2nd DS was actually smaller. They removed civilian, their quarters, shops and any distractions as described in the Death Star novel. This and the fact that he didn't have to hide the constitution anymore, this would help explain the quicker build.

[@BrazenBard]

Regarding the ewoks on Endor - the ewoks had a miniscule advantage in that stormtrooper armor is specifically designed to protect from environmental hazards and energy weapons, at the expense of slightly lower protection from more primitive kinetic weapons. Not enough for an arrow to have even half-decent odds at penetrating the breastplate, but certainly enough for a girthy rock dropped from an altitude to hurt the poor stormtrooper's noggin on a direct hit. I would point out that the imperial *officers* were at one hell of a disadvantage, though, lacking the armors of the rank and file, and thus being a LOT more vulnerable to the slings and arrows of a cruel world...

[@Biggles_James]

The Empire was probably arrogant with the believe that technology and firepower would succumb any opposition, may have wiped out a few Ewok villages and thought that was the end of things, not exploring the forest more failing to discover the other Ewok villages.

[@BrazenBard]

The standard TIE Fighter is definitely worse than the X-Wing. But not as much as most people think. It's engine is amazing and it was very maneuverable and agile. The TIE Interceptor with it's speed is a better match and the TIE Defender makes the X-wing look weak. Again, the Stormtroopers were letting Luke and co escape. They missed on purpose.

6:43 Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not a mega SW fan, just of the '77 movie, and some of the old comics, novels and computer games), but the X-wings tended to blow up with just a single direct hit, just like the TIE fighters did, if I recalled. Both classes of fighters were brittle.

[@ianrennison]

You're right. I always preferred the threat of the rebels flying more vulnerable ships, but they've been widely accepted to have basic shields now.

My take always was that the 2nd Death Star was already under construction before the first was destroyed as the Empire would probably need a number dotted around to maintain order. Stormtroopers and TIE Fighter pilots are military grunts, their strength is in their sheer number as a reflection they were a step on from the Clone Troopers, also why the TIE Fighter was limited in combat, have enough and you win through greater strength in depth.

What a lot of people shouldn’t give crap to the sequel trilogy is the lightsaber combat. Now I know what you’re thinking: “Who the heck do you think you are? The sequel fights were terrible!!!” And you know what? You’re not wrong, but you’re not quite right either. Prequel trilogy: Thousands of Jedi knights and masters were training thousands of Jedi younglings and padawans in both force abilities, and lightsaber combat. By their late teens, all Jedi learners knew advanced swordsmanship by heart, and had built up incredible stamina. Thus giving viewers a look of near God-level art in the form of combat. Original trilogy: Almost all of the Jedi have been long dead thanks to Order 66, and those who did survive were mostly novice younglings and an even smaller number of seasoned Jedi. We see two men in their mid to late 40s’ and 50s’ clash like two old men, moving slow but accurate. Then we see one of the two old men duke it out with a young man with novice level training, somewhat quick but still reserved like a chess game of life and death. Sequel trilogy: Two young people, one with novice level experience and another with none whatsoever, clashing some of the heaviest blades in Star Wars history. Both were very inexperienced, and were throwing their weight into their swings. I trust that I’ve made my case, but please, don’t let my word be the last. If you believe that my logic is sound or flawed, call me out on it, and make your case.

About a year prior to the events in the Mos Eisley Cantina Greedo tried to kill Han over a bounty and thought he had so he took the Falcon for a few months thinking he got a free ship out of the betrayal but Han survived the attempt on his life, eventually recovered and stole the Falcon back. Greedo didn't want the bounty, he had a hard-on for the Falcon, if he delivered Han alive Jabba would have seized the ship for himself.

They represent the idea of CHANCE. Or, put another way, what's that famous line from that famous book about Mouse Men or something?...."the best laid plains of MICE & MEN..." LOL The Emperor went on and on about foreseeing this, and everything is going to plan that... And then, what did Luke say to the Emperor before Palps snapped back, "your faith in ur friends is yours?" I'm not even gonna say it, cuz if you somehow didn't catch all that upon watching the film, and didn't realize what the ewoks, wookies, friggin BITHS, whatever race u wanna sub in or out, truly represented, this all should come together as a nice ah-ha light bulb moment lol...

The biggest misconception is that the rebels defeated the Empire, the Rebels had far less support and power and the Empire was far stronger then most people think. The rebels had no chance of winning outright, the reason the Empire fell was because Palpatine made no arrangements for a succession. When he died it left a power vacuum and the Imperial warlords ripped the Empire appart in a giant civil war. None of that the rebels destroy the entire Imperial fleet only one year after Endor at Jakku nonsense.

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

No one ever talked about TIE fighter pilots being worse than X-wing pilots. In fact, every TIE fighter pilot was a fully academically trained professional, while literally farm boys could get to pilot an X-wing. No, the matter was that TIE fighters themselves had hude disadvantages. While, yes, they are more maneuverable than X-wings, that won't do them much good without shields, lower cockpit visibility, and no Hyperdrive or life support system. Everrything that an X-wing got. Speed wise they were also almost the same, so no big benefit there for the TIE. Hell, the TIE interceptor was introduced as an improvement, with cut wings for more visibility, and 4 instead of only 2 laser canons.

So... I am going to give you another point as to why the second death star was built so rapidly. The first one had to be built in secret, hiding it away from the Galactic Senate. In episode 4, the first time the senate is mentioned, tarkin pipes in saying that the emperor has dissolved the senate. So, there was no one to hide the second death star from.

Pilots are NOT droids, they are highly trained and skilled. They are by NO MEANS easily replaceable. Legends material stated very clearly that the Tie Fighter was meant as a light security and customs/police starfighter, hence their lack of shields or a hyperdrive.

10. Why would EVERYONE think that? 9. Finally someone understands. I would add, that it wasn't the strike team that defeated the Emperor's best legions on the Endor moon. They were defeated and captured after the Imperial fleet left, and the Rebels took control of the system. 8. 4 years between the end of Star Wars and Return of the Jedi is totally false. First of all, there is the misconception that it was 3 years between ANH and TESB. Lucas said this in an interview, because the actors aged 3 years between the movies. But the problem is that storywise it can not be 3 years between ANH and TESB. ▶ There is no way that Han can reasonably expect that he can still pay off Jabba after 3 years. ▶ There is no logical reason that the ghost of Obi-wan waits 3 years to tell Luke to go to learn from Yoda. ▶ There is no way that the relationship between Han and Leia was on hold for 3 years. The reasonable timeframe is a couple of weeks, maybe 2 month tops. The same problem applies to the timeframe between TESB and ROTJ. Storywise it is not possible. The misconception originates from the novellization of ROTJ, that states Han was in the carbonite for 6 Tatooine months. But than there is no good explanation why Luke did not go back to Dagobah for so long, or try to rescue Han. There is no way that he leaves his friend there for this long, while he can die any minute, or he does not try to get an answer from Yoda about his father. One year, or even 6 months is completely unreasonable. The reasonable timeframe is a couple of weeks tops, so that Lando can infiltrate Jabba's palace. 1. Im not going to say anything about the Disney Wars examples. That is an alternate universe, where rules and logic does not apply. The only thing I must add though, that logically there is no Sequel Trilogy only a Disney Trilogy. A SEQUEL must be set after the original, and has to follow the in-universe rules, set by the movies it wants to follow up. Also, using the exact same story is a remake. So a SEQUEL most definately is not something that copies the original story, places it into an alternate universe, and claims, that it is a sequel. But that is what disney did. Therefore by logic, there is no sequel trilogy, only a Disney Trilogy.

The empire trained tie pilots in the thousands knowing most wouldn’t survive. The lucky few that did were transferred to interceptors or other better class of ships.

Spot on then

[@xeroabyss9597]

Something about this video you got wrong. "Ewoks" weren't aliens, as they are native to Endor.. Unlike the Empires troops and the rebels, who were all aliens to the planet.

[@legomyeggo77]

The tie fighters are objectively worse than rebel pilots. There are more aspects than just speed and skill

[@alexanderhikel2350]

I feel just from the thumbnail that tie fighter pilots were better just because basic ties are absolute garbage compared to a x -wing

[@kylebenton456]

#1, the guard fight was 'pretty damn awesome'. Bro, are y'all being paid by Disney? That was terrible. The guards in the background were just flailing about. So dumb. The last trilogy was garbage

Yk, ik it’s a fictional universe. But I actually hate humans. Why is it that they always feel the need to be dominant, they always gotta be hating on everyone else.

you don't have talk piffle. Boba fett did not break the 4th wall. He was being a mando and covering his six oclock position.

Er ye they were x wings were loads better they had a sheild lol , manouverability (overall) and had double guns tie fighters had there was only 1 version of tie fighter in sw history that beat x wings it was in rebels built by thrawn which was better than x wings the standard version of tie fighters sucked compared to this version. Infact vader copied it except the ship shape is a bit on ship front end its different to thrawns version (red baron pilotted it) he must have asked thrawn for blueprints. Now vaders tie fighter that would rival x wings

Disney Star Wars is just a collection of bad “what if” fan fiction.

Even if we you were to say the imperials were defeated by the Ewoks why woukd that be such a stretch of the imagination. Countless superiour armies have been taken out by natives with inferiour weaponry since time immeorial using gorrilla tactics and knowing the lay of the land whilst the invaders dont.

How can you say, with a straight face, that the tie fighter wasn't as bad as people claim? If you spend a lot of resources, money, and manpower training the "most elite group of pilots" to fly them, and they get killed in a couple of shots by a carbine, how does that work?
