Star Wars: How Big is the Supremacy?

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

Man another thing about the Supremacy Class is it's like a planetary colony with wings.

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

Given the absurd size of this ship you did a good job highlighting the details and areas. That comparison between the engine and a SD says a lot! 👍

[@Halfscreen]

It doesn't make any sense, all the resources and yet, couldn't take down one ship.

[@MatthewCaunsfield]

@@Halfscreen Not the only headscratching moment in the new trilogy, but definitely an odd one!

[@jasonrobbins6944]

Awesome detail! Such an amazing design. I just wish we had a better opportunity to see it in action. It may be a stretch, but I would love to see what you could do with something from the Transformers franchise, like a layout of Unicron.

[@Halfscreen]

I have been a big fan of the transformer series back when I was younger. I may do something down the road.

[@3Rayfire]

I'm a big Unicron homer. That would be awesome. There's also a lot his brother Cybertron itself.

[@MarkoDash]

my theory is that this ships role was similar to the fanmade Imperium class, a mobile base for an entire fleet to go extra galactic. in the old EU this could heave been palps plan to intercept the Vong, massive mobile base ships to keep the fleet running without supply with world devastators to harvest material from anything else they come across, eclipse class dreadnoughts to crack Vong worldships, etc.

[@granulan617]

Ehhhhh… Eclipse would be useless. As well as Supremacy’s ark turbolasers. Vong shields can be overloaded only by the quantity, not the quality of fire.

[@ΠαζαρακιαΣιτι]

EU is canon. this is sheit

There is overcompensating, then there is the Supremacy, though i feel like it should have not been destroyed in TLJ, it should have been in TroS instead of thousands of ISD's, TLJ should have spent more time fleshing out the capabilities of this ship.

[@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser]

Yep, instead of the Xystons which could be easily destroyed by starfighter simply by targetting the main cannons, the Supremacy should've been the big bad ship. It's triple the size of the Executor SSD's, and it actually had those massive turbolasers which could still be devastating against the New Republic fighting force whose ships were probably at max 3km long with the MC 85's. They really should've pushed back TROS to let the VFX crew work on an epic space battle. Sure it's never gonna be enough to fix the writing problems of the sequels but goddamn it, a full blown capital ship battle would've made TROS much more bearable for those who seek the wars in star wars. But I guess it's too late now...

[@alextjb]

That would have been a good idea. Use 8 to build up how badass it is and then in 9 have to destroy it. Agreed, so much better than these thousands of random star destroyers. I also had issue with those because where the hell did they get the crew necessary to handle all of those ships? Like the transports would have taken years to get enough people there… if there even were enough people in the first order left.

Incredible ship, but it also shows the short sightedness of the First Order. It was a single target that finished everything when it was destroyed. They could have bult a fleet of hundreds if not thousands of more standard warships with the same resources and that would have been more effective in the long term.

[@Firefox13A]

Ridiculous waste of resources… The hyperspace ramming should not have worked as we saw the Millennium Falcon hyperspace jump through a freighter in the film right before (someone wasn’t paying attention). More than likely the Supremacy was repaired. But it was foolish to chase the Resistance. But the First Order was dwarfed only by their own utter incompetence. Nonetheless, great video as always.

[@Halfscreen]

I definitely agreed with you on this one. Ridiculous.

[@balrighty3523]

There's plenty wrong with the Holdo maneuver being a thing, but IIRC, it doesn't contradict the Falcon jumping to lightspeed from inside the bulk freighter because the hanger door was open. The risk there was jumping before they were clear, not jumping through a closed bulkhead or hanger door. I will concede that I might not be remembering it right, as I only saw that scene once and I'm not about to watch it again to check.

It seems unrealistic even by Star Wars standards that there are factories inside the supremacy and two star destroyer manufacturing plants.

[@DrewLSsix]

As usual, film amd TV scifi fall incredibly short on vision, ships like this are almost common in literary scifi, theres no reason a galaxy spanning empire shouldn't have fleets of ships even larger than this. In terms of material the ships stations amd even entire fleets of the forces at play are miniscule compared to what they could be. Our own system has the resourced to build thousands of these things without making a dent in raw materials, a galaxy wide empire with access to billions of systems should be building stellar scale objects.

[@v-Lex-v]

Not really that unrealistic. I mean a Resurgent isnt even 1/20th the size and the Supremacy is not just a ship, its suppose to be a mobile command base. It has more than enough space.

[@Abdullah-mn6sw]

@@v-Lex-v I am judging by how we build ships on earth. The docks are much much larger than the ship to house the building material until the ship is complete. The Supremacy seems to just have cutaways to put star destroyers inside but the rest of the space is used up for other purposes.

I mean, you could probably make 50 supremacys from the resources of a single death star.

If we can accept the empire building a second (bigger) death star in like 5 years, I think its feasible that this big boy could have been built in the unknown regions in 20-30 years.

For a ship with a wingspan of 60 kilometers, or 36 miles, if it rotates about its central axis at a rate of just 0.02 revolutions PER HOUR, the centrifugal G forces at the tips would be 10 Gs. Obviously this is a very bad design from a maneuvering standpoint. At a 10 G limit it'd take 50 hours to make one revolution.
