I was thinking the same thing, seeing the Vets from the Battle of Endor be so confident in taking down Kuat, then going in and being beaten and destroyed for weeks on end only to just have a surrender happen. It reminds me abit of the US battle of Mogadishu, Rangers and Delta Force think its an easy operation, of grab and run, but then it becomes a bloodbath within hours.

Only issue with Star Wars is its mishandling with the Empire in that it always betrays itself or is laughably stupid with mustache twirling villainy when it should be far much more. They should have held out longer

[@robertnelson9599]

Agreed.

[@MotRi1986]

I suggest that you read about the aftermath of Alexander the Greats death. Basically just days after his death you had a massive civil war brewing between old friends and comrades. It might look silly that the empire fell apart immediately after Palpetines death but this is exactly what have happened several times in human history.

I hate how the New Republic/Rebels win every battle in cannon. After the destruction of the death stars the Rebels in legends lost some battles. Although the death stars were destroyed the Empire was still powerful. A major loss for the Rebels would have been a reminder that the Empire was still a very big threat and that they should plan the're offensive careful.

[@KoalaTContent]

Even the Battle of Hoth saw multiple ATATs destroyed and *all* vital rebellion assets escaping. Every rebel vs Empire plot has to use the good guys beating the odds against the bad guys trope. If they'd let the protagonists suffer occasional serious defeats it would add gravity and an easier suspension of disbelief to the lore.

[@achaudhari101]

Not every battle though.

[@localHazzard]

You'd probably like the "TIE Fighter - short film" animation OtaKing77077 here on youtube. Its focus is on the Imperial Tie pilots behind the black helmets as they battle a fleet of Rebel ships. It also uses a more old-school art style akin to 80's anime for the animation as well.

[@AGH331]

@@tokyojuul9987 The Imperials still had more resources, and judging from the situation before the battle (the defence fleet of KDY itself plus additional forces from neighbouring systems) coupled with high losses of the New Republic in their failed attack runs on the shipyards, the Imperials probably far outnumbered the New Republic at the end of the battle. Only plot armour allows a smaller force to besiege a larger force, incur significant losses during the battle, and still win in the end.

@@davidhong1934 Tank dog? Excuse me what? And desperate? All they would have to do is get a medium size escort, empty it of crew and just auto pilot it into the enemy. Every battle in star wars would happen this way then. Star Wars hasnt made any sense basically ever from a tactical point but since disney took over its utter shit. The fact they send fighters towards capital ships is a joke, its the same as real naval combat. Ships are equipped with active protection systems that destroy incoming missiles and low flying aircraft. Anti air is very dangerous and in star wars ships would be armed with shields. Doesnt matter if its irl or sci fi space, sending small fighters towards massive ships armed with thousands of small anti ship guns is literally suicide, warhammer 40k handles that well. The only time fighters are effective against a capital ship would be with support from other capital ships. Its a meme that rebel fighters just flew towards the first death star and lived lol.

[@davidhong1934]

Marksman 5147 From 1941 to 1942, the Soviet Russian forces began the implementation of a previously theoretical strategy known as "anti-tank dogs". The concept involved tricking dogs strapped with explosives to run under tanks and detonate after a period of time, usually by convincing the animals to believe that food could be found under a tank. Although some success was found on the battlefield, the practicality was questionable at best, as the dogs did not differentiate between allied and enemy forces, making this short period the only time when the Soviet forces were desperate enough to try such a risky maneuver. However, regardless of statistics, the long tradition of suicide animal bombers would continue, assuming many forms, some successful (camels and horses) and others much less so (bats and cats).

[@DylanDude]

Because the only reason that worked in The Last Jedi was because of the Raddus’ shields. If anything, the Last Jedi made that strategy impossible under most circumstances.

[@landowthabando]

I always hate seeing the Rebels/New Republic win so easily. Aftermath of Endor should’ve lasted MUCH longer and realistically, I don’t think the NR could simply last that long as the Empire still had hundreds, maybe thousands, of production plants, armies, and fleets all over the galaxy.

[@BlueRaven893]

@@landowthabando See, if I could rewrite Star Wars canon, the entire Galactic Civil War would've taken a full three generations (67 - 80 years) to be resolved. The first assault on the Death Star took over *25* years. The plan took over ten years to fully actualize due to the Rebellion having to grow. After the death of the second Death Star, which took a further five years, the Empire was still a very massive threat. The Rebellion had to grow for thirty plus years to be even anywhere near a match for the Empire. This meant near constant recruiting, pillaging, spying, assassinations, consistent war, incredible struggling for the Rebellion. The battles of Yavin and Endor would be close to incomprehensibly huge, thousands of ships alone. It would make The Battle of Coruscant look like a medium sized engagement. Kuat came after Endor, the Rebellion still trying to build itself larger than the Empire, yet having a realistic chance now. Kuat and Coruscant were the next toughest objectives to accomplish. These following battles took over a decade of struggle, due to the sometimes still overwhelming Empire. It was only after three generations that this would be fully resolved, and the Galaxy could be ruled competently by the New Republic.

[@WorldWalker128]

You know, I think this battle was partly in one of the PC games. The final level of Empire At War's expansion. During that level, Tyber Zann and his underlings show up intending to steal the empire's latest project: a super Star Destroyer so big it dwarfed Vader's super Star Destroyer and was equipped with a laser that effectively in-game was a miniature Death Star laser. When the level's intro begins Tyber makes a comment about it being difficult to sneak through the empire's rendezvousing fleet that had fled from the 2n'd Death Star battle for repairs. Just as they begin to debate on what method would be best, they pick up on incoming ships. A rebel fleet led by Han Solo's Falcon shows up and Han asks what you're doing there. Tyber lies in response, saying that they'd heard about the victory over Endor and came to join the rebellion in quelling the Imperial forces. After a brief continued exchange, the level begins, and if you really feel like it you can sit back and let the rebels and Imperials beat the tar out of each other for about an hour before your final objective is in any danger.

[@thecrimsoncommando3875]

Yeah, the Eclipse was a beast to use. The shipyard planets (Kuat, Mandalore in FoC, and at least two others) were always my prime targets in EaW campaigns, being the only places to build capital ships. Better to hold on to them and not use them than let enemy forces build up their firepower.

Honestly, it makes perfect sense: When it comes to winning a war, your number one priority should be to ensure constant, nonstop production of war assets, and to do that, your production facilities MUST remain intact and operational. If they can be disrupted or captured/destroyed, you're going to find yourself quickly on the losing end of any conflict. Kuat Drive Yards is the single largest starship production facility in the entire galaxy. It is single-handedly responsible for everything from mass capital ship production and starfighter/bomber construction to extensive, advanced R&D on weapons, shielding, hull plating, and more. Whoever controls Kuat controls a vital piece of the galaxy's total war asset production abilities, thus making it a more valuable target than even Coruscant itself. Losing a capital may damage morale, but losing your production facilities will mean you lose everything, including the war itself.

Oh, even when Palpatine was resurrected in Dark Empire, making the ending of ROTJ more pointless than Episode VII?

[@annapocalypsezero4719]

@@PitZagufull Well, to be fair at least that made sense of why in ROTJ the emperor did not really personally put up that much of a fight considering how powerful he was. But I think Dark empire was made as the EU's version of the final trilogy. I thought Thrawn would have fit it better but he died too soon meh. Well really the new films kind of make ROTJ pointless too as nothing really changed and Snoke showed up with a new empire instead of palpy.

How did the Imperials lose Coruscant? Im sure they put up a fight

[@bjoernsenp.5664]

I think in canon the navy just left Coruscant, the "police" stayed but had to fight a civil war against the the population. Some time later Mas Ameda smuggled himself of planet to try to surrender to the new republic. I am not sure though.

[@bencobey9973]

@@bjoernsenp.5664 maybe but why give up your huge Ecumenoplis planet capital when you have 25,000 ISD why not "Liberate" Kuat and obliterate Mon Cala you dont get 1,000,000 MC80 in a year with Kuat go start pumping out SSD and ISD again but seriously why give up Coruscant it really doesn't make that much sense Personally I think operation Cinder Was kind of stupid honestly thanks for your Feedback

[@bjoernsenp.5664]

@@bencobey9973 Because the empires defeat at endor showed the galaxy that the empire is not invincible, with rumors of the emperors death a lot of imperials began to change. Also the emperor didnt want his empire to live on without him, so he put his contingency, including operation cinder, in place so the empire and new republic end with him. His protege Gallius Rax changed it I think to create the first oder with the most loyal and competent imperials. P.S.: I am not sure how many capital ships the empire has/had in canon. They only had 13 SSDs for example I really hope this isnt to long or confusing. x3

[@bencobey9973]

@@bjoernsenp.5664 Thanks for your explanation but he would die eventually and when that happens does the High Command scream Cinder or does he have a successor in plan also the Empire in total had around 25,000 ISD according to Star Wars Uprising you can find a data piece on Adelhards Star Destroyer The Dread Omen Im curious why they wouldn't have made the defense of Coruscant top priority send a hundred ISD maybe with a SSD if you want you still have around 24,900 left over send them else where like maybe one of thoese remaining SSD if you have any left directly to Kuat with an escort fleet of Hundreds of destroyers and "Liberate" Kuat and send a couple more to Mon Cala and Pillage there MC80 Shipyards and move on with more Thanks again for your opinion I apologise if this was a little bit long sorry thanks

[@awildfilingcabinet6239]

For everyone complaining about how weak the empire was, it’s supposed to be. Palpatine wanted it to strike fear, not necessarily be effective. The more terror it sows, the more powerful Palpatine grew. If the empire just crushed the rebellion, then there would be less conflict, less chaos and less fear. The more the rebellion fought, the stronger he would become. We’ve seen how powerful he was during the prequels and sequels. He created and controlled the clone wars, without either side truly knowing it. There’s no reason to believe he wouldn’t do the same during the civil war. This time, not by balancing technology and forces, but by using bad tactics and incompetent leaders

[@AGH331]

He wanted to create fear precisely to subdue rebellion. In several movies he goes on about how he wants even the concept of rebellion to die - the Tarkin doctrine resulted in the Death Star precisely to keep everyone in line. So no, Palpatine didn't want more conflict, he wanted to sow fear to smother all conflict and resistance.

This would also be a excellent Squadrons Map-Fleet Battles and Dogfights, and also good to play if this is inserted into the story. Maybe without the Ground vehicles for the Multiplayer modes. The New Republic could lure the Shattered Empire away from the Project Starhawk by staging a massive battle at Kuat. If so then, 1) The Empire would loose many fighter craft and Star Destroyers 2) The New Republic would also lure them away from the Starhawk, then it would be used at Jakku to properly end the Empire.

Who wrote this absolute nonsense? The rebel alliance didn't have the resources, or ships to attack one of the most fortified Imperial areas in the Galaxy. There could have been hundreds if not thousands of Imperial Star Destroyers (and tens of thousands of fighters) protecting Kuat drive yards. Yet I'm somehow supposed to believe that the Rebels not only stood a chance, but the Imperials also surrendered when they were winning (for some unknown reason!)? I don't buy it.

[@FrankCastle-tq9bz]

In "Star Wars: Empire at War - Forces of Corruption" you get to step into the role of Tiber Zann and hi-jack an Eclipse destroyer during the battle of Kuat and use its superlaser to exterminate all Rebel and Imperial forces in the area. So much fun...
