Linus Bayard i agree actually and you may be on to something,as in a way technology might actually be going backwards everytime the Empire is dealt a major setback,and as certain leaders focus on utilising super weapons instead of large numbers of powerful uniform ships

[@ordohereticus5530]

Patrick Gunnells umm.... how is technology going backwords if the Empire simply chooses to build super weapons instead of a couple dozen fleets? Technology is actually progressing is star wars, take the Resurgent for example, its the pinnacle of SD design so far, with an abusive size of an armament that is powered by kyber crystals, multiplying the damage out put. Not to mention hyperspace tracking (a major plot point) which was considered impossible up to that point. Ties now have shields and what not. These are just canon examples.

[@yutterh9153]

It wasn't considered impossible up to that point......they jsut wanted you to think that. Episode 4 had the millinium falcon tracked when they left the death star. Boba fett also tracked them in episode 5. Hell the movie has finn saying " That's impossible" then later have him saying he worked in that very room -_- don't take anything TLJ set up as truth, because it was a terrible movie, as well as a terrible star wars movie. Which can't have consistent continuity with itself much less the rest of star wars. Please never reference anything from TLJ as star wars lore. It broke everything and fixed nothing. Just added on more questions and makes the audience writers to explain the glaring plot holes and inconsistencies.

Snokes Supremacy should return in Episode 9. If it's that long it should still be operational even with the 1/5th of it blown off. Just have them repair and seal off the bit that is exposed to space and have it obvious that that bit was destroyed by the rebel cruiser. It's getting ridiculous that they keep making these super weapons and they get destroyed in one strike, I wanna see one of these big weapons actually survive to have another battle in the next movie.

Hydrogen One indeed, plenty of space for engines, naturally sloped armor, all guns can potentially fire at the same target at once

[@gavinkemp7920]

well provided they don't put their guns in stupid places likes on the venetor and imperial class those could effectively fire only foward and above otherwise they where shooting them selves . the sloped armor innonly and advantage if you are approaching from the slice which can be garantied if you have somehing like ground forcing otherwise it just make for a huge silouette to hit. the cis designes where generaly a lot better. a tubular design is better in 3d space.

[@robertharris6092]

Also allows for unrestricted broadsiding if necessary. While still allowing all guns to fire forward.

[@troublemaker9899]

Not very effective in space. I get that you guys are imagining all battles are going to be facing forward and upright toward each other, but this is not the ocean boys and girls. This is space.

People fawn over legends and ignore utterly retarded shit like *Sith Lords wiping out entire fleets by using the force to control solar flares* or Starkiller bringing down an ISD (controlling the ship's direction as it crashes in the Novel) in the Force Unleashed. The Force powers we see in Last Jedi are rather tame in comparison. Infact a lot of the people bitching about the movie just because of force bullshit probably bitched about Unleashed at some point. So they're massive hypocrites if they don't acknowledge legends has equally stupid shit. Or bitching because they want to be spoon fed all relevant info instead of going out and looking up shit that's not relevant to the plot. I can guarantee you if Empire was released today people would be bitching about the Vader-Anakin reveal or screaming 'Why the fuck can Leia hear Luke in the force what the fuck!?!'

[@jime6688]

As cool as that was to see, it's aggravating because the weaponization of lightspeed really undermines most battles from the previous movies.

[@coreymicallef365]

And removes any justification for Death Stars if you and just hijack a freighter like the one Han and Chewie had in TFA and set the auto pilot to FTL ram the ship into the Death Star. Or why not build FTL missiles a bit smaller than a starfighter to destroy captial ships, after all if you can fit a hyperdrive on an X-wing, why not? That First Order Fleet would have been destroyed with less than 20 such missiles, the Imperial Fleet at Endor (including the Death Star 2) could have been thoroughly smashed with 40 or 50 depending on how much of a beating the Death Star could take.

[@plainplane7580]

jime6688 Keep in mind technology has probably progressed since Return of the Jedi, and it was probably very risky and not worth trying even if it was possible before hand. The resistance had no where to go, were on the verge of destruction, and had no other options. It also had to probably be timed by a skilled and experienced pilot, or a specialized droid, as you could jump too late or too early. So why would you waste a perfectly good pilot or an expensive droid and a ship just for the chance of a near light speed destruction?

[@minecraftvlogs24daysamonth81]

jime6688 lightspeed is likely very hard though,it most likely has to be perfectly timed as when you enter lightspeed you enter another dimension and must exit it at the right time.

[@zingy1811]

It's so fucking stupid, ur travelling in hyperspace so she wouldn't even interact with the first order ships at lightspeed. The last jedi was directed by a 5 year old.

[@MehrumesDagon]

I'd assume autopilot would not be able to do it well and no one was asking anyone to suicide at that point yet. as for hyperdrive torpedoes the only logical explanation to why not [aside from "hurr durr plot holes"] would be the cost of building hyperdrives.

[@antwan1357]

The wedge shape on the Harrower is like the Millennium Falcon and the Falcon wedge is used for pushing against cargo containers . So by this logic can you imagine the size of the cargo container that the Harrower must push. Makes sense when you look at all the massive amounts of equipment and supplies of the Empire.

[@teflonhammer3465]

Hey man, I really like how the proton torpedos went in timed perfectly with you saying "poop chute"

[@DTSephiroth]

My preferences are for the Venator Class with its rapid deploy hangar and the Acclamator Assault Ship. Despite what you said about it, this thing was a beast. Heavy firepower (12 Quad Turbolaser Turrets, 24 Point Defense Cannons, and 4 Torpedo Launchers), Neutronium Impregnated Armor, 16k Clone Trooper Capacity along with a ludicrous amount of support craft like AT-TEs, Bikes, 66 LATT/i and 14 LATT/c transports, and a ridiculously fast Class 0.6 Hyperdrive (or 0.75 depending on your source). The ship also had a range of 250,000 LY meaning it could transport troops from Coruscant to the Outer Rim and return home with fuel to spare. To quote Han, she doesn't look like much but she's got it where it counts.

[@sonsoflibertyreborn9119]

I'm very partial to the Executor class of Star Destroyers, but my favorite right now is Supremecy class. I mean come on! 60 km wide! (37 miles) the ship even featured small cities on the opposing opposing sides of the command center! Fingers crossed they don't make another Death Star!

Call me old-fashioned but I'd plant my flag on a good old Imperial I. Sure, most newer ships of the line can run you down and blow you to pieces with overwhelming firepower. But they're going to have to find you first and you've got enough concussion missiles, fighters and ground forces to take three systems at once and _really_ make them regret ditching those point defense lasers at the same time.

I was so excited to see a ship used as a battering ram, and in Trek and Wars always said why not just fly something at warp into such and such super weapon.

and who actually looked good in purple hair

[@bouncingeel8151]

John Cunningham Why would dyed hair not be a thing in the future

[@jrny20]

Daycrist...They didn't do that though, because it would make sense!...Sorry.

[@owenbever4689]

I agree, the harrower is really good. I mean, look around the bridge area. Look at how many turbo laser batteries it has. An updated hanger, engines, and shield, some launch tubes for missiles, and a point defence system, and it could easily takeout an imperial-1. Not to mention you could replace the front hangers with a massive ion canon or something.

[@cer3alc0dez81]

I love how detailed they are in all of this....

[@ibraheemahmad7404]

Was the Purple lady's kamikaze method in TLJ ever used before in SW history? If not, can you theorise why even though I know the obvious answer.

[@lieutenantnomad9198]

Kinda. One time in Legends, 3 star destroyers came out of hyperspace (still going light speed) smashed into an Executor Super Star Destroyer, but they just exploded when they hit the shields of the ship and the Super Star Destroyer was unharmed. All what happened is the Super Star Destroyer's shields took some damage.

[@spartangerm2122]

Palps did nothin wrong Anakin rammed a venator star destroyer into a droid control ship in the battle of Ryloth. And commander Sato rammed his rebel carrier into an interdictor cruiser during the battle of Atollon. They weren’t done with hyperspace however.

[@mutantsandinhumansfanboy5143]

Palps did nothin wrong Star Wars history is non-canon by Disney.

[@ibraheemahmad7404]

Keadin Mode Indeed. My first question after watching that scene was, why didn't any faction in SW history ever create Hyper space missiles. Like no need for suicide ships when you can fit missiles with hyperdrive. This scene was spectacular especially for common movie goers but for a SW fan that likes going deep in the lore it doesn't make sense, it is immersion breaking the more you think about it and it just shouldn't be there.

[@ibraheemahmad7404]

Hyper drive is being used for more than 20000 years now and was created even before. Only now a purple hair lady came up with the idea. No one else before came up with the idea that the technology could be used this way or to come up with some countermeasures if someone ever used it this way. That's doesn't make sense.

[@changwang4896]

I prefer Venator looks out of all other star destroyers, and armaments of the Imperial star destroyer. The reason they dont arm Venator with heavy armament is that it'll be too OP in clone wars lol (there's always a way to fit in bigger power source so it wont be a prob)

[@badger3761]

Loong Chang Wang venators are mainly carriers that's why they don't have that many big weapons.

[@chai8941]

Badger But for the Clone Wars, The Venator was very heavily armed. I believe in the holocron heist arc of SWTCW, a single Venator took down 3 or 4 Separatist cruisers.

[@ZCerberus19]

I think you flipped the docking arrangement for the Supremacy- 6 EXTERNAL, 2 internal. The external ones go on the docking spots on the back of the wings- 3 on each side- making 6.

[@YNoted]

Ah yes,my favorite ship,the space pizza

[@Nugcon]

Can the rebels just crash a ship into the Death Star at lightspeed?

[@jsmith4liberty]

And if so, why didn't they think of that in the first place?

[@BrianD0313]

I have to say the Venator is a very beautiful looking starship. It just feels much more sleeker compared to the ISD-II. Overall, my favorite ship will always be the MC80 Home One version. Mon Calamarians really know how to make a beautiful ship

[@metroranger7295]

Nothing is more beautiful than the Harrower class Dreadnought, it's such a great mix of intimidation and elegance.

[@lillyanneserrelio2187]

Another excellent video. Being Stuck inside due to the stay at home order, I've been rewatching all the videos on Eckharts Ladder channel. I love his presentation style. A perfect ratio of facts to story. The blend of info and entertainment make learning about Star Wars more enjoyable than watching one of the new Disney star wars movies (that's a burn on Disney). Why oh why couldn't my old high school teachers present their subjects like this? I would have been an exceptional C+/B- student (instead of graduating with a solid D. That's a joke cuz I was teased over my large bra size). @AskEck Keep these videos coming - you are the light at the end of my tunnel (of boredom) 😁😍🥰👍❤️

[@antwan1357]

My favorite ship which does not get a lot of attention , but strategically located is like a glass cannon , and looks like a dustpan without a handle. I believe is called the Phoenix class white like imperial ships but stolen by rebels is perfect for hit and run tactics. You can repair small fighters , and bombers en mass as you travel unload massive amounts of small fighters and bombers jump back into hyperspace scoop up massive amounts of fighters and bombers wash rinse repeat.

[@gabet8188]

My favorites are the Venetor Class and classic Star Destroyer

[@dickgrayson6039]

Gabe T Imperial Class I or II?

[@gabet8188]

Loh Jia En both are fine

[@cornelius2227]

The tall purple-haired woman was “Admiral Holdo”. Now I’m thinking what she would look like in SW-TCW form. That would be something someone could idealize to create a Fan-Fiction story. 🙂

[@Bierjonny]

Nice summery! My favorite SD is since ever the Victory Star Destroyer because of the design and allround abilities.

[@arctroopernull8733]

Loving this series. Keep up the good work.

[@Imperius254]

In regard to the Mandalorian/Jedi Civil War era, I'd say the Centurion class battlecruiser would be a better source for inspiration for the Imperial Star Destroyer line due to it actually looking like a precursor to Star Destroyers

[@winterplays665]

"It did have a weakness however, a purple haired woman traveling at the speed of light in a Mon Calimari cruiser" Yooooo, I was not prepared for that line 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really awesome and informative video!

[@thorshammer7883]

Legends is awesome.

[@gregorytyse9419]

He had to triple-check his sources. That was the second funniest thing that i've ever heard in my entire life.

[@jakegrube9477]

the reason why the triangle style design is so effective is because the majority of your turrets have overlapping fields of fire so you get more firepower on target than you would having your turrets focused on either side

[@MrNukey]

At the time the brother hood of darkness deployed the sith star destroyer “I dont have any images but i guess it was wedge shaped” Me: duh thats what we are talking about

[@NephtaliValdez]

I’d like to see a film about the Mandalorians

[@scottburns5376]

I've seen Avenger in drydock one time. They were replacing some forward thrusters at the time. Huge!

[@markusb3712]

What about the Centorion-class Battlecruiser? AKA the infamous Ravager. They were built a millennia after the Harrower-class dreadnought and were used during the Mandalorian Wars (3960 BBY). They have an awkward close resemblance to the imperial star-destroyer and I think it's worth mentioning.

[@KerbalHub]

Imagine one guy killing half of your empire's army

[@orionvitale5020]

The venator was always my favorite

[@khpredator0032]

Love these videos man! Very entertaining and very informative!

[@Retrora]

After watching The Last Jedi, the scene at 6:46 begs the question of what would have happened if the little ship that gets crushed when the Star Destroyer emerges lightspeed had decided to jump to lightspeed itself at that moment. Would it have cut a giant hole in the Star Destroyer like in The Last Jedi?
