The Empire Retaliates After Death Star Destruction - Space Battle of Fondor - Star Wars Battlefront

[@stormthrush37]

For those pointing out some of the unbelievable elements of this mission...go read the Wraith Squadron books from the EU/Legends. Flying inside an enemy ship and gutting it from the inside is exactly the type of stuff Wraith Squadron did in those books and this might be the closest we ever get to actually ever seeing it on the big screen, which is a shame.

The only issues with this game's campaign is the character plot twist early on, and the short part 2 (and the enemy AI inherently broken).

In particular with this sequence, it was amazing being able to go from a star destroyer to space and then landing onto the rebel vessel, all seamlessly in one map.

[@EternalDaybreak]

It's disappointing that the game didn't allow players to take on the role of the Empire's special forces for longer than 5 minutes, Keep in mind The Spec Ops groups are not often explored in the lore. It would have been interesting to see them work alongside other groups to counter the Rebels' efforts to overthrow the galactic empire. However, the game quickly has the Inferno Squad switch sides, which was a missed opportunity. It's a common theme with Disney that players cannot play as villains, even though the supposed hero faction has many flaws. The Rebellion is portrayed as a heroic underdog faction, but the majority of its members are known criminals, terrorists, and smugglers which most of the above have committed war crimes and broken Galactic law & horrific if not straight-up monstrous acts upon the galaxy at large. The Rebellion fought for the reconstitution of the Galactic Republic however before the Empire came into being for 1000 years after the Great Sith War, the Republic has allowed criminal groups and organizations to run free on the outer rim, leaving people to suffer without aid for centuries. The sequels showed that the Republic fell back into its old and corrupt ways, rendering the Rebellion's fight pointless. Although the Empire committed horrendous acts during its reign, They improved Galactic technology which was quite stagnant beforehand, and started to remove criminal elements from the outer rim. They also started to explore and map out unknown regions and planned to establish colonies. They also were slowly but surely ridding the outer rim of criminal groups & organizations and the only criminal organization to remain whole during that time was the Hutt cartel which keeps in mind they are quite cunning and intelligent species and would not go down easily and I could keep going on however this is already a lengthy discourse.

[@wolves600]

I mean working for a empire that blows up planets does make you evil and it can be rather hard to make it nuanced like yeah the rebels did x bad thing but its still not on the level of blowing up a planet so it would be hard to write a loyalist imperial who complains about the rebels doing bad things and then is perfectly fine with blowing up planets

[@EternalDaybreak]

@@wolves600 I see what you're saying. While it's true that the Empire destroyed one planet and tested their weapons on two others, it's important to note that Tarken destroyed Alderaan without the Emperor's permission. In fact, Palpatine was surprised and taken aback by Tarken's actions, especially considering Alderaan's long history and reputation as one of the most beautiful planets in the galaxy. The Death Star wasn't intended to be used to destroy planets, but rather as a symbol of the Empire's ability to protect its citizens and deter outside threats. It's like the real-world equivalent of nuclear weapons, which were built as a deterrent rather than for actual use. In fact, it's believed that the Emperor never planned to use the Death Star's full power and had it built as a precautionary measure against a potential invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong, a threat that Grand Admiral Thrawn had warned him about. While this is just a theory among the Star Wars community, there is evidence to support it, including Thrawn's own involvement with the Empire to protect the Chiss Ascendancy

There is untapped potential in Star Wars Video Game media. Of all, only The Force Unleashed really played into it, but being a true evil villain in Star Wars is such an interesting role to play. Being a true cog in the imperial march, being a trooper executing order 66, beings Uber-powerful Sith are the exact power-fantasies gamers enjoy. Personally, I would love if they made an adult or serious toned game where you play as Vader in the first days of the empire as they transition from the republic and Vader takes the 501st to crush any Seperatist/Jedi sympathizers. Don’t make us have a good arc for the character, but instead make it a thoughtful experience where the gamer does things that makes them feel the temptation that power and evil can bring and showing them the awesome might of the empire to better appreciate the struggle the rebel alliance had to undertake against this force.

Love the way that hot Imperial chick is able to fly around blasting Alliance ships without being shot at.

I'm going off toppic here. When I first played Empire At War, my first thought was why we don't see orbitaal defense space stations in the movies?

Wish you stayed Imperial this playthrough.

I love that the Mandalorian made this game story more canon.

[@hokage1997]

why couldnt the sequels use palps as the hologram instead of him as a clone

[@AircraftEnthusiast_7900]

Cause it would make sense.

Why is there just a lone Star Destroyer sitting in drydock by itself?

[@mr_yooooda8147]

The ship was disabled so it couldn’t escape

[@magosmarechferracioli1128]

@@mr_yooooda8147 That isn't the problem. Fondor, according to the Lore, was a major shipyard in that region of space. Why was there only one ISD, which was docked, an no other defensive ships or even escorts for the ship? Yeah, it's a game and the plot couldn't happen if there were more defences, but still.

[@curtiswong7280]

@@magosmarechferracioli1128 The shipyards seem to be spread out in those little 'island' space stations(said to be 19 of them), unlike in Kuat where it's a whole ring surrounding the planet. Fondor is smaller than Kuat, so that makes sense - it's probably just not possible to see most of the other stations due to the sheer distance between them. ISDs are intended to serve alone without escort(though they rarely do so successfully) so it's not typical for them to have a protective screen of ships.

[@remembernavarro2077]

This game had so much potential, instead of “empire bad” “rebellion good” we should’ve just gotten a empire only perspective and it would’ve been 100% better

[@Jamie-y5u6x]

Fun mission, extremely satisfying ending

[@jabcreations]

Fire rate is too fast, the tie fighter is moving too slow, the X-Wings don't dog-fight, her ship doesn't take much if any damage (Alliance had superior fighters) and then after boarding she is practically invulnerable.

[@strasbourgerelsass1467]

All this makes it a joke. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@bencurran3204]

yeh the snub fighter speeds hurt my soul when i played this

[@randomstormtrooper3345]

Oh yeah, because the Battlefront series is totally known for being 100% lore accurate and plot armor is totally not a major plot thing in Star Wars, especially not when playing a game on easy difficulty

I just wish they'd make an actual game where you'd get to play as the empire instead of this

[@u2fan81]

Tie Fighter was a great game back in the day

[@dango6266]

Don't you play as the empire completely in Squadrons? Well you go back and forth in 2 different perspectives. One in the rebellion and one in the empire.

[@brysonkuervers2570]

@@dango6266 Yeah at least for the Empire story your character doesn’t defect and stays loyal until the end of the game. I enjoyed Squadrons so much and for that fact alone it’s underrated I think

You could try empire at war, it’s older but there’s mods that make it gorgeous. Play as the empire all you want, or another faction if that suits you

It was a stupid plan when Hitler came up with it and it was still a stupid plan here. Nero for Hitler and Cinder for Palpatine but then Palpatine and the Empire did become comedy bad guys over time. Though it was cool to see Rebel troopers missing 90% of shots. :)
