Star Wars: Inside the Tantive 4

#starwars
Here is a basic overview of the Tantive 4 spaceship in 3D. Enjoy.
The Tantive IV first appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and holds the distinction of being the first-ever ship to appear in the Star Wars series.
At the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, the ship was a central player in helping the rebel alliance.
During the days of the Empire, Princess Leia used the ship and her position in the Imperial Senate to help the struggling Rebel Alliance, often undertaking secret missions under the guise of humanitarian work.
Decades later, the vessel would play a crucial role during the war between the First Order and the Resistance when it took part in the Battle of Exegol.

[@NehemiahDC]

[@mrquirky3626]

I remember reading somewhere that the model and design of the Tantive 4 was originally supposed to be the Millennium Falcon during the early production of the movie. Later the Millennium Falcon was redesigned to be the iconic style he all know and love today and this model was then repurposed as Leia's ship in the opening scene. It's why the model for the Tantive was much larger and more detailed than the physical models they used for the Star Destroyer because they assumed they were going to need it for more scenes.

[@technomikelyons]

Yes it was because "Space: 1999" came out on TV, and it was realized that the original Falcon model looked too much like the Eagle. So they designed a new Millennium Falcon, and the original model became the familiar blockade Runner, Tantive IV.

[@DrWhom]

Yeah, the redesign was prompted by the Eagle space craft from Space:1999 which it would resemble too much.

[@JC-oq5ex]

It was much worse than a Tantive and I'm glad they redesigned it, the asymmetrical hull is iconic and probably the highest selling toy of the bunch.

[@martok2112]

@@JC-oq5ex I also believe that the original design of this ship (pre-Tantive IV, with the hammerhead resembling more what would become the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon in the final film) was repurposed in the EU to be the Corellian Gunship.

Yes.

[@mega6076]

its actually much bigger than this, this is not scaled. A person should be more than twice as small as shown

[@brettsalter3300]

I can only imagine my 12 year old self having just seen Star Wars, (when collecting Star Wars bubble gum cards was about the most 'after-content' available), and thinking that this sort of detailed analysis of the ships and robots would be available, what's more on a high definition LCD screen, in my own loungeroom? 46 years later! It would have been more science-fictiony at the time than the film itself! Thank you Halfscreen!

[@stardude2006]

I’ve always loved the design of the Blockhade Runner. It seems like a real functional spacecraft , especially the big fuel burning engines. 😎

I always had the impression this ship was bigger than it is. good job on the interior

[@Cirrus4000]

Same here. I don't think it looked large enough for all those crew/passengers and all internal scenes during Episode 4. I think the video was well done though.

[@jacobsetser4669]

Lol Lego Star Wars had me thinking that too

[@s.anthonyulibarri2488]

The ship is much bigger in the interior. This cut-out was not a good job it was a horrible design with no thought to scale. Where are all the hallways that storm troopers and rebels had to fight down? Seriously you think it took that many troopers that long to hunt Leia down if this was what the interior actually looked like? This was a real lazy attempt at drawing the interior of the ship. - If it is such a good design, show me where the crew quarters are for the 40+ crew. Not only quarters but facilities, Galley, Dining, Storage plumbing. He said that there are over 100 Passengers in this video, where are the passenger quarters? facilities? dining? Most of these cutouts are huge hallways. Those 4 cylinders cannot be the escape pods, even if that is directly from some Lucas official explanation. The scale is all wrong. They are more likely cargo containers.

@ S. Anthony Ulibarri: It’s capable of having more people on board. I doubt it was at full capacity during the Battle of Scarif or above Tattoine. It’s a good video that tied parts of the ship to events in Star Wars. If you can do better, please do.

@@fallspeed I have wondered this for a long time. None of it seems to match the interior layout of the corridors or where they later show the bridge or the access hatches. It's like the people that designed the exterior had no communication with the people that designed the interior, the complete opposite as the Millennium Falcon where everything can kind of be made to make sense.

[@fallspeed]

@@Jack_Stafford Obviously there was no thought given to any of this when they made the first film, because most of the spaceship models were put together from various random pieces from model kits they bought at hobby stores. They never imagined that people would make videos like this.

For viewers who are puzzled by the seemingly low speed of 950 km/h, this value is supposed to refer to the ship's speed when traveling in an earth-like atmosphere, not the speed it achieves in space, which is obviously far greater.

That's still too slow. You need about 40,000 kph to escape an earth-like planets atmosphere.

They can just gently lift into space, with the thrusters only adding to speed as desired. That's also how Star Destroyers are able to hover over cities.

It's also how singers analyse their own voice to pinpoint areas that need fixing. I say keep it up with your voice recordings since it'll be really benefitial for you.

[@davidnobre5660]

2:40 it's impossible that the ship is 49 meters high one of those measurements must be wrong if it was like that, then the lenght would be only 2.5 times bigger than the height and the ship, and it looks much longer than that for scale, imagine this if there was another Tantive IV facing down, with these measurements, the engine's height would be from the radar on top of the ship to the engines on the right that looks way too tall

The Tantive IV is a CR90 corvette which are typically150m in length. However the officially stated length of the Tantive IV is 126m, so it is a customized, shorter version of the corvettes we typically see elsewhere in universe.

@@Daedric16 Possible. Some stats say 492 ft / 150 metres, others say 415 ft and 7 inches (126.67 m) Either way, the INTENT is that the ROTS version/CR70, be 20 percent shorter, I think.

This is a fictional word in a fictional universe. And it has been verified as TAN-ta-VEE . I can't imagine it any other way, saying TAN-tive is jarring. Saying it the correct way actually gives it a bit of elan and grace. There are many instances where words in English end in e and it is not silent. Me free anime karaoke pedigree cafe more (as in customs) coffee applique fiance gefilte ladke sortie soiree puree Porsche namaste Cherokee Chile filigree protege risque resume. And Wookiee. Some of these words are foreign sourced, but that does not mean they are not also English words that have been assimilated in day-to-day life and correct pronunciation. It's even more prevalent in proper nouns like people's names. (Jesse Renee Dante Cece Kanye.) How do we know the first king of Alderaan was not named Tantive ? This is a settled matter, it has been confirmed, in Cannon, that the way it was pronounced in the Star Wars radio drama and innumerable audio books and games is correct. Many of us used to say CorusKant, even George Lucas did, before the silent c pronunciation was resolved for episode 1. I stopped pronouncing it that way. It is a virtue to admit when you are wrong and to adjust one's behaviour accordingly. We also know what the Star Wars is not follow normal American pronunciation, typical grammar or spelling for many words, Alderaan Wookiee Coruscant Tatooine etc.

Great video thank you

Very welcome

The Pre Hammerhead Bridge design on a much smaller scale was a brief idea for Han's Smugglers ship, prior to the Falcon we all know & Love.

Nice break down!

[@spaceace1006]

That is one cool spaceship!!!

[@rogerarmstrong3573]

You know I heard that beep from your smoke alarm an I started looking around to see which alarm in my house had a low battery lol. Nice one. An I loved your video

[@Halfscreen]

The smoke dector is about 25 feet up in a location I can't reach.

[@cyborgbob1017]

I don't think you understand how big this ship was. It's longer than a full space shuttle on its belly, and taller than the tallest rocket booster, SuperHeavy, this thing is fucking MASSIVE!!

[@Halfscreen]

I think it's quite large even though the 3D rendering doesn't do it any justice.

Another interesting and relaxing inside star wars Video I'm adding this to the playlist lol keep up the amazing work I can't wait to see any new ones maybe we go further into the republic navy and possibly even the ground forces and their armor and weapons
