It must be hard to put down a galaxy wide rebellion when you only have 1 reliably competent commander at hand. Specially when the other one you had got exiled to another galaxy by space whales early on the war.

[@Azorees-oj5zr]

Disney just doesn’t know how to write a competent Empire, they have to be hilariously incompetent otherwise they’d have to actually write a competent rebellion as well and we all know that they can’t.

[@antonionotmyrealnamo6333]

@@Azorees-oj5zr The writers at Disney don't believe in competence. Their framing of politics can't accept that the people in the higher ranks of the Empire will likely be pretty good at their jobs or exceptionally good at playing the bureaucracy. That's why characters like General Hux are just petty laughingstocks. They have to be corrupt nepotism hires or tyrannical bullies. I'm a little scared to see how Thrawn is portrayed by them.

[@rickymillerii756]

As someone who watches a lot of the kings and generals videos (your campaigns on Alexander are excellent) an armchair historian and a star wars fan this is so so cool

[@scottperry7311]

At 29:12 is not entirely correct. Cassian Andor was ordered to assassinate Galen Erso, do to the importance of Erso to the Empire. He could not bring himself to go through with the assassination. But another force was sent by the Rebel Alliance to attack the base, which in their attack mortally wounded Erso. The intention of freeing Erso was by his daughter and the rest of the groups, Andor only played along to get a chance to assassinate Erso. At about 134:40 it was the commander of Blizzard 1 in an AT-AT that took out the power generator at the Rebel base at Hoth, not Vader as the video shows. The audio is correct here, but is confused by the video of a tie interceptor firing on the power generator.

[@skyden24195]

Nice clarification of these errors. There have been a few other errors that I've noticed as well, and I'm only up to the beginning of the events depicted in "The Empire Strikes Back." There is a lot to go through for the crew at Wizards and Warriors, so I suppose errors are bound to happen. (fyi, perhaps his name isn't mentioned for any number of reasons, but the commander of Blizzard 1 was General Veers. "Yes, Lord Vader, we've reached the power generator. The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.")

[@SuperJamesus]

It also gets wrong who they said took down the ATAT, when it was Luke that took out an ATAT with the thermal Grenade. Loving the the video otherwise

This is a great video so far, but I want to take a moment to talk about how stunning the animation of the Death Star being built truly is. It not only shows the superweapon being built from core to interior to frame, but also shows the adding on of weapon platforms on the surface, among other things like hull reinforments and such. Really makes you appreciate just how much went into this soon-to-be debris field of space dust.

Thanks for the doco, guys. I appreciate the time and effort that you all put into this monster video! I only managed 6 minutes, though; I'd prefer to wait until you're able to release a purely canon version of the timeline. Of course, I understand and can appreciate that this may never be possible for the channel because of time constraints and resources, but I live in hope of seeing the proper and original timeline of events... you know, before Disney came along and, in their hubris, thought that it was up to them to decide what is and isn't canonical in Star Wars. I gave the video a like, despite not finishing it, because I do appreciate the work you put in. Once again, thanks.

It’s wild how people have overused the term plot armor to the point of meaninglessness. It’s not plot armor to overcome a difficult circumstance with a reason. “We’re a special forces team and used cover and our shooting skills to come out of an ambush unharmed” isn’t plot armor for instance. It’s plot armor to not die in a situation you’d definitely otherwise die in with no logical, in universe reason at all.

[@AMGOSUK]

Thanks for this - short summary. It would be useful to see a similar production for the eras from 4000 BBY (or earlier) when the force became usable, and the Jedi and Sith emerged and grew as [institutions]/movements. The 9 films only cover 32 BBY - 35 ABY. This time line includes Solo and Rogue One and all the current TV series. But the history is deep and long (at least to 1,000,000 BBY). Starting with the Celestia Era (c 1,000,00-40,000 BBY); then the era of the Dawn of the Jedi (36,453 BBY) and first Force Wars (25,793 BBY), a host of subsequent expansions, crusades and conflicts, leading up to Old-Republic (25,000-1,000 BBY), High-Republic (500-100 BBY), Rise of Empire/Fall of the Jedi (100-19BBY), Age of Rebellion (3BBY-4ABY), New Republic (5-34ABY), Rise of First Order (34-35 ABY), New Jedi Order/Legacy etc..

It’s unfortunate how intricate Legends was concerning post ROTJ and how…simple Disney made it.

[@mateuszjokiel2813]

Some much-much-needed complexity was mercifully reintroduced in Andor. I believe we owe that to Tony Gilroy not being a Star Wars superfan - he's actually capable of thinking and writing beyond one's info bubble. The political/family drama of Mon Mothma and the thrilling Luthen Rael subplot were some of the best pieces of sci-fi to be found in recent decades. Shame so many "fans" immediately hated it and declared it a borefest just because there wasn't an action scene every 15 minutes.

@@mateuszjokiel2813Andor is so good. I love the politics they show and the cat and mouse game they are playing not to mention they make the Empire actually scary. I think starwars works best when Force magic isn’t as prevalent. Then we get to just focus on the wars which is much more interesting and is usually written better.

[@pupulauls]

The only cohesive part of Legends Galactic Civil War between Return of the Jedi and Heir to the Empire was the X-Wing series, outside of that there was tons of material that didn’t fit together and contradicted. The clean interpretation of Post ROTJ Legends timeline only exists in the Essential Guide to Warfare book

[@SkeletonBeleton]

I think current canon wraps up too soon and Legends drags its feet far too long with the GCW personally-- though meta-wise, that's because when a lot of Legends was being written, the PT didn't exist yet so the only conceivable story was continuing the GCW. Not to mention Dark Empire being the first case of "Somehow Palpatine returned", and it was as dumb then as it is now.
