The "FLEET KILLER" Prototype B-Wing Explained | Star Wars Ships

The A/SF-01 B-Wing would become one of the most powerful starfighter and bomber of the Galactic Civil War, but its predecessor was even more powerful, from a certain point of view. Learn the origins of the B-Wing, a break down of its stats, and how it became a Mon Calamari and Mandalorian creation. As well as how it compared to other Star Wars ships and starfighters like the X-Wing, Y-Wing and TIE Fighter.

The mass production of the B wing saw the loss of the composite beam but still an impressive fighter without the fleet killer weapon.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

The Rebel's math was wrong. Surely the cost of a single pilot fighter, even the most expensive one, that can one shot cruisers is insignificant compared to the cost of a fleet of fighters that struggle to do the same. Quick victories mean less fuel, less repairs and parts, less replacements costs and less pilots lost. Star wars writers never get it right.

[@markgeorge2200]

I think it's rather interesting that the composite beam laser was dropped from the full production model. My guess was that it was seen as overkill or far too destructive, especially if they couldn't work out the power source's kinks with the whole "hyperdrive shutting down" thing.

[@Assassinus2]

A super-powerful weapon that has major reliability issues isn’t terribly useful. I’m minded of the combat debut of the Panther tank at Kursk, where most of the tanks became mechanical casualties before getting to fire a single shot.

5:02 Actually, there is a fifth. In revenge of the sith, the Venator cruiser fires one massive laser that blasts a banking clan frigate in the same exact manner as this B Wing prototype blasted the imperial corvette. The converging stream is really difficult to notice because it's almost entirely hidden inside the ship, but the apex of the converging cone can be seen if you look closely.

[@matthewturner5178]

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

@@matthewturner5178 I think the beam was too big for a SPHA, unless there is a XXL sized variant I am not aware of, and the angle would require the thing to be hanging upside down from the ceiling of the hangar.

I think I have an answer... Shields. If a starfighter has no shields, it may not survive hyperspace. It would possibly be protruding outside the larger vessel’s shields leaving it exposed to ion particles and other random elements at far above light speed.

Because they need to be secured, just riding on the side is a very high risk of just being flung off and at best being dropped in the middle of nowhere, and worst being torn to shedders in the transition to real space .

If the rebels had better resources at their disposal they could have figured out how to adjust the super laser, so it wouldn't kill the b-wing's hyperdrive. But at least the rebels put the b-wing's design to use in other ways.

I just finished rewatching the rebels ep so this is sweet XD

[@gundamnduke0]

I just thought the whole idea of B wing and TIE defender showing before the battle of Yavin silly, one of the things that didn't sit well with me regarding the Rebels series.

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

Hated the way they did this Yes bring more B-Wing scenes... But this broke so many levels of lore

[@mrdude7984]

You don’t sound like a virgin

[@ralfhtg1056]

A small tiny fighter crippling huge capital ships... this doesn't make any sense at all!

Finally, the ugliest ship in Star Wars finds its purpose

[@LegoWormNoah101]

The B-Wing in Squadrons has a composite laser add-on

[@razvandobos9759]

We need this in Battlefront.

[@neroclaudius7284]

I think its more of a t wing

[@greenbean325]

And also the most powerful and complicated ship in lego star wars skywalker saga

The history of the B-wing: Return of the Jedi: Look, weird looking ship that didn't actually do anything X-Wing/Tie fighter game series: Look, a chunky slow heavy kind of fighter/kind of bomber with a crap firing profile that's real easy to hit. Star Wars RPG, west end games: Here's a module where we try to justify why this turd is actually great Star Wars Rebels: IT'S A FLYING MINI DEATHSTAR!!!!

In the 90's: *X-wing PC game when you first get the B-wing prototype* "Notice how the B-wing is faster than the X-wing, carries more torpedoes, and has 3 blasters and 3 ion cannons! This ship is the answer to the Tie Defender!" Late 2000's after Disney bought them: *Cartoons series* "So, were going to put the death star cannon on the B-wing" Veterans of the 90's PC game: "wait, what? where the frell was that function? And what's this silliness about it being slower and only 2 blasters?"

[@lsporter88]

That was an excellent presentation.

At 2:21, why does Shantipole look EXACTLY like Jupiter, right down to the Great Red Spot? Come on Star Wars, you couldn't have made it look like its own planet? LOL

the game Battlezone had a Russian bomber shaped like a B-wing, but flipped over it's side.... it was wider than it was long, and the weapon mounts were offset to a side. if you saw one of those (ONE!) rolling towards you, you had two choices: tank the first shot and pray you eject on time and ride the shockwave out of danger before it blasted you again, or, eject outright and pray the bomber didn't decide to target *you* rather than the wreckage of your tank. either way, you tank was going kaboom.
