A huge battleship, a lost first engagement for the republic, crippled by a small group of bombers, engaged by a whole enemy fleet still holding its own, eventually destroyed from the inside. Hunting Bismarck in Star Wars!Man I loved this arc!

[@ceoofwarcrimes4600]

The real reason it was so dangerous was because the Jedi sent against it didn't have a mustache everyone knows having a mustache decreases the likely hood of being defeated by a superweapon

[@GenerationTech]

This is true

[@MACE_HINDU]

They should have sent Obi-Wan

[@richarddoig1865]

I had never heard of Mustache Armor before! Does the style of mustache affect the amount of protection provided? For example, would a Walrus style be more durable than say, a Handlebar? Will a Fumanchu defeat a Tom Selleck? Is the density like sloping armor, or is it all in the maintenance of said Stache? I only ask out of concern for Allen! Evidently, his wee little 5 o’clock shadow was powerless against whatever ailment he encountered. With the problems American Ben has containing the hair on his head sometimes, I would bet that he has the potential for a fearsome facial fortification! FFF!

[@richarddoig1865]

Patsy Patarchy Biggs grew up on Tatooine.Sadly, there is not enough moisture there to properly grow a formidable defensive stache ! It was only after Luke had been off planet for decades that he was able to properly grow powerful whiskers! Alas, they could not protect him from the HEINOUS assault of Rian Johnson, and Walt Disney! Killed him, they did!

[@richarddoig1865]

jaufree grandmaster PLO Koon May or May not have had a powerful stache under his mask. Clouded is the answer!

It's because circles are tactically superior to triangles.

I don't know about that. The X-Wings, a triangle ship with x-shaped laser cannons, blew up the Death Star, a literal giant sphere (a 3d circle). :p

The clone wars, unlike the last jedi, made a slow space chase interesting.

[@aliastheabnormal]

Are you sure the Quarren really aren't evil? Or at least aren't agents of the Sith? Because with names like Subjugator class and Malevolence I truly believe that there's a Darth Squidhead hiding in Mon Cala.

[@gorilly3023]

Well they also made the Providence-class, which doesn’t sound that bad.

[@BlackXIV]

I am sure Palpatine said that he hade the koordinates get from the banking clan and that this was a trap to kill a diplomat or maybe himselfe.. so he made it look like he was still the good guy.

[@DoodleMan149]

Great content as always. I remember this was one of the few Clone Wars episodes I actually watched but this whole series makes me want to find a DVD box set of it. Hope you feel better Allen, rest up!

FIREPOWER! FIREFIGHT! Battle stations, keep the target steady in sight!

[@SamuelJamesNary]

If the story arch of the Malevoance was supposed to be mirrored on the hunt for the Bismarck... Star Wars' grasp of history is poor... Bismarck's sortie was betrayed before it even began with spies noting its arrival in Norwegian waters in 1941, which would be confirmed by a Spitfire taking a snapshot of it in a fjord. The British knew of Bismarck's departure even before it left and were soon organizing the entire Royal Navy to hunt the battleship down, and while the British may have been unaware at first, they were not limited to just "shadowing" Bismarck with small ships. For once Britain knew that Operation Rheinbung was underway, the entire Home Fleet was on high alert, along with other naval forces that would be committed to the operation. This would include at least two aircraft carriers and several battleships, many of which would be in Bismarck's size class. Bismarck was 823 ft (max length) and around 50,000 tons at maximum displacement. In fact Hood was actually longer than Bismarck at 860 feet and was only just under Bismarck's displacement at around 47,000 tons at full load. The King George V class battleships committed to the hunt were smaller, but not by much and two were committed to the for the Bismarck. Prince of Wales would be present for the Battle of the Denmark Strait and King George V would be there for the conclusion of the hunt. It was the Rodney that was the smallest of the capital ships committed to the hunt for the Bismarck... But it should be noted that the Nelson class had thicker armor than the Bismarck class. It also had bigger guns than the Bismarck class. Nelson and Rodney had 16 in guns, Bismarck's main battery was on 15in. And even the 14 in guns on Prince of Wales and King George V could do Bismarck damage. In fact a shot fired by Prince of Wales in the Denmark Strait punched a hole in Bismarck's bow and caused the German battleship to leak fuel and would essentially mean the end of Operation Rheinbung… and that Bismarck would not get to hunt British convoys (and would never even see one). And while the story of the swordfish torpedo bombers from the Ark Royal have become something of legend in the story of the Hunt for the Bismarck, it should be noted that all they really did was cripple Bismarck's navigation. The warship's main armament, its 15 in batteries were still active and it would only sink after taking a pounding from Rodney and KGV (not to mention eating a few torpedoes fired by the Rodney) to the point where the Bismarck became nonfunctional, and had the Germans not scuttled the ship, the British would have sunk it or took the battleship as a prize.

[@ukmediawarrior]

I binge watched the Clone Wars the other day, well most of it, lol, and it actually got annoying how many times Grievous got away in that little escape ship of his at the last minute and the Republic forces didn't see it or shoot at it. I mean all the bloody time!!

[@koolmckool7039]

That's the power of appearing in the sequel movie first.

[@GenerationTech]

Yea it happens way too much

[@ukmediawarrior]

@@koolmckool7039 Oh, I know, lol. The power of plot armour is strong with that one;) But they wrote him into those situations and I am sure they could of had someone else other than Grievous, or found another way other than just getting him to slip away in his escape ship each and every time

[@koolmckool7039]

@@ukmediawarrior Guess we can say that luck is on Grievous's side. He's probably just that good at escapes.

[@Lennis01]

A 4800 meter ship is NOT a cruiser by any stretch. That is a full-blown dreadnought.

[@a_human8489]

I think the malevolence should of had more broadside firepower. The slow turning speed would leave it vulnerable to ships not hit by the ion weapon. Even a ship jumping into the fight after the ion shot would rip stuff apart on the side of the malevolence

[@barrycoe8539]

SW Clone Wars was such a good series.

[@circatyanrhythm]

I love the Malevolence arc! Hope your voice gets better Allen

[@togglefire3537]

I like deep voice allen. Makes me feel like im watching a tv documentary. For some reason in my head it makes this less nerdy lol

[@jlstout7807]

I wonder if a couple blasts from the malevolence could knock out planetary defense shields...

[@letstalkstarwars5490]

I find it weird how after the malevolence uses it ion canon is doesn't turn to face the downed ship. Why not just turn and use all the laser canons packed in the front of the ship on both sides?

[@jackbuchanan8138]

There’s already a bunch on half the ship so maybe it’s for keeping the ion canons positioned on the targets and potential reinforcements

[@mr.s2005]

this slow chase was still more exciting then Episode 8.

[@tomcat124us]

Allen hope you get to feeling better.

[@thegermanempire489]

Heavy cruiser malevolence is a battleship with all that armour and firepower, it took a fleet to take it down

[@lindonrobinson9706]

Another great video from Generation Tech

[@UncleMikeDrop]

This ship's main weapon highlights another issue with prequels. It introduces game changing technologies that will NEVER be seen again.

[@koolmckool7039]

Costs would be a factor into why they wouldn't do it again.

[@NoInfoAvail]

Hey Allen! I just realized this episode of clones... weaponized a hyper drive. The ship is supposed to enter another plan of existence when entering hyper speed, right? Well clearly it excellerates while still somewhat in this demension. How else could it hit the planet? However the planet is relatively intact, compared to the fleet that admiral purple hit. So the question remains.. why wouldnt they slap hyper drives on astroids and send them flying at their enemies?

[@scottmurphy4946]

Looks like the dolphin secret agent known as Deep Throat really wrecked Ben

[@Jacaerys1]

I never compared this to the Battle of Denmark Strait. Have you thought of doing something related to military history on youtube?

[@GenerationTech]

Very loosely related but a lot of Star Wars draws inspiration from that period of our history

[@Matteus2109]

Wouldn't it had made tactical and political sense for the Malevolence to capture the crews of the fleets it disabled. A couple of tens of thousands of clone soldiers and the odd Jedi general probably could have been considerable bargaining chips.
