Super Star Destroyer Executor complete scene

[@apa123APA]

Love the constantly growing scale. First we see the Star Destroyer in New Hope and we're all "ohman these things are HUGE". Then we see the Executor in Empire Strikes Back and it's like "HOLY MOLEY THAT'S ENORMOUS". And finally in Return of the Jedi, the Executor falls into the Death Star 2.0 and explodes, and it's tiny compared to the battle station. THE EMPIRE JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER.

It's the lighting. It's more natural. Plus the artists go to greater lengths to hide imperfections. As rendering engines improve as well as lightning techniques, you may not be able to tell the difference in the future. For now, the models will always look better.

Everyone is complaining about how an A Wing destroys SSD. In fact, by the command of Admiral Ackbar, rebel capital ships concentrate fire on SSD. (watch movie carefully) I guess they took out SSD's shields and then it was vulnerable.

Technically the a-wing didn’t even destroy it, it just took out the control center so the ship crash landed in the Death Star which made it blow up

[@piercelindenberg6842]

Turg You’re right. The Executor has backup control centers in case the bridge was destroyed, but they weren’t fast enough to take control, so the ship crashed into the Death Star.

​@@turg9958took out the bridge while it has two back up bridges in the Super structure the loss of the engines and damage to its navigation allowed it to fall into the death stars gravity

[@rottenroads1982]

Imagine the Executor class Dreadnought had a few updates, for example a lower bridge and hidden deflector shield generator’s and way better technology all throughout the ship. That would make the Executor Class Dreadnought more hard to bring down because it’s bridge would be harder to get and the deflector shields can not be targeted but if the Deflector Shield generators are still exposed than make a hard shell around it so that it is impossible to blast through the armor so the shield generators are safe.

Also, the Executor had at least two auxiliary command decks on the top of the hull. Then there is the whole fighter numbers discrepancy. Millenium Falcon leading or not, the amount of TIE fighters, interceptors and bombers, should have been overwhelming - and even then tbh Lucas gave the Imperials a relatively small number of fighters.

Just pilot a multi-hundred thousand tonne warship into the Republic cruisers at full pelt or even have a skeleton crew of those worthless battle droids and burst into enemy ships out of hyperspace.
