He no longer has to worry about anything now

He does have a relaxation area. The armory, cleaning his guns is probably very relaxing for a mandalorian.

I love that Mando has an old, beaten up ship. It just adds to the whole outer-rim, wild west feel of the show.

I think Mando is kind of a sad man. I mean, he doesn't give a fuck about comodity, he has nothing in his life but the hunt for new bounties, his clan is more a religious cult than a community, he doesn't seem to have real friends and probably the last people who gave him real affection were his parents. The Razor Crest is a projection of that life, it's almost like Mando doesn't value his life beyond his basic survival instincts. And that's why he does so much for the Child, it's the first time he has a real purpose for his life, something to really live and fight for.

If the Razorcrest could speak it would be crying out in pain.

As to why the Razorcrest doesn't have an astromech: Remember, Mando's parents were killed by battle droids in the Clone Wars, so he hates droids. Remember the first episode when he was very anti-droid, not even wanting the Pit Droids to work on the 'Crest. He's coming around though, so he might be open to getting an astromech now.

Only 10, huh? Seems like it has taken on the trait of leaving "calling cards" every time it jumps to hyperspace.

Han Solo: "Aftermarket parts increase the rate of failure? Since my entire ship is aftermarket parts, adding more shouldn't make a difference."

Comparing it to a fighter doesn't seem to be a fair fight. It's a "classic" freighter/gunship.

The razorcrest must have some autopilot since they were all able to sleep while waiting to arrive to Trask (?) In the third episode.

So you're saying that the result of the Razorcrest is like a budgeted homemade heavy tilt rotor with WW2 aftermarket parts?

It fits the 'underdog protagonist' theme of the show if his ship is outclassed by those of his opponents.

#11 - heavily susceptible to turbolasers

Talking about having to install aftermarket weapons. The Mando would have had to this because the original weapon systems would have been removed when it was discharged from service. The Empire would not have armed its citizens while disposing of old designs. Like when you buy an old cop car, the lights, and things are removed and even the engine is de-tuned is some cars.

I feel special to see an unlisted video

These have been things that have been bugging me the whole series. I really wish that when he interacts with the Mandalorian fleet, some random Mando engineer just goes off on him about not taking care of his equipment, then just goes to town on the razor crest and just beefs her up to Mandalorian quality.

This video just got recommended after episode 13. Spoilers! Those flaws ain't gonna be a problem anymore

We don't have to worry about any of this anymore

In my mind the Razor Crest is a symbol of Djin's changes throughout the story. His evolution as a character based on every experience. I think eventually he may lose the ship as he eventually is reborn. *5 seasons later* "Really Mando, how do you keep this hunk of junk flying? It's practically a flying collection of spare parts. It looks like the only origial part is the refresher."

The ship's design means it probably has a shit turn radius as well.

Razor Crest isnt maneuverable Mando: Hold my kid

Din's sleeping alcove makes me think of a semi-truck driver's sleeping alcove located at the back of the cab. This ship is a clear example of a vehicle that serves as your living space. For all that he might be wearing shiny armor that makes it look like he's got plenty of credits to his name, Din Djarin is sleeping in his car and traveling from town to town to make ends meet and be able to feed this kid he picked up along the way.

i think razor crest flies only because everyone belives this ship can fly, that's all

Welp... this video didn't age too well...

Modifying the Razor Crest with rocket launchers might be a bit too much on Mando’s pay raise

Maybe when he encounters Boba Fett he can find where Boba parked Slave One. Whatever happens, Mando needs a new ride.

The Razor Crest is like the first car u get when u get ur drivers license. Mando is just driving it till it, or he dies

It's an outdated ship, he probably bought on the cheap and custom modified by a merchant. But his is better off getting a more expensive ship.

If the cargo hold was converted how does a bounty hunter transport his bounties?

Does he sleep in his armour? How uncomfortable would that be

Id hardly call the razorcrest a "gunship" its more akin to a lightly armed freighter tbh. I think to count as a gunship it needs like 5 times the weapons that it already has😂 Plus my guy please for the sake of the child get a new ship, might i suggest the Tie Defender. Now THATS A SHIP😉👌🤣

If the razor crest had a voice, he/she’d be talking crap the hole time mando pilots the ship in battle 😂

One flaw is that it is currently unflyable

yEH, HE WRECKED IT GOOD FINALLY LOL

Top 10 reasons mando needs a slave one /fire spray 😆

When I think about it, all the flaws and character and troubles handed to this particular Razor Crest ship are really what make it so damn endearing. THIS specific ship will always live in my heart as one of the most precious and lovable of the Star Wars saga, and I hope it's living like a Boss Pimp up there in starship heaven!

*Flaw #1: It doesn’t come with a crib for Baby Yoda*

I think we missed a few points. One of which being, he's broke. As we saw in the first episode, he was scraping by for the cost of fuel. So, it makes sense that he wouldn't spend money on things like missiles or torpedoes when the ship was mainly used as a transport prior to that. I think we also haven't seen it flown in it's "element." Sliding doors on both sides, plus the rear hatch indicates that it would be the space equivalent of the Bradley fighting vehicle or the soviet hind. Bring in troops, defend yourself, pick them back up.

Hey man, Respect the dead

They're not "strike foils", the engines on the Razorcrest have thrust reversers so it could slowdown and stop easier.

(eats an egg) i dont see anything wrong with this ship(eats another egg)

I know this was a video strictly on its flaws, but I just wanna touch on some of the advantages because I personally love the Razorcrest: 1. Durable and Reliable as HELL. Already this thing has been looted by Jawas then rebuilt, Crash landed on a Feral World, had its engines shot on multiple occassions, attacked by alien spiders, attacked by a Ravinak and crash landed into the waters of Trest. This thing is a beast, and generally speaking reliability comes before all other things because if your ship aint flying in the first place all the fancy bells and whistles don't matter. This thing can definitely take some hits. 2. Reverse Thrusters - This is a small one, but the ability to quickly change the direction of ones momentum is actually deceptively useful for a craft that is usually outmanuevered. A neat trick! 3. Stealthy and Innocuous. The ship isn't that large and as said, does not have a homimg beacon. It's not a flashy ship and so usually doesn't attract much unwanted attention. These are just the ones I could come up with. I really think that with just a few changes it would be much more servicable. A good repair job, some upgrades to the engine and weapon systems, an astromech and maybe some additional space would all be quite lucrative!

If he continues as he is I believe that he will need a newer ship at some point. It is my personal opinion that when the razor dies it will be in some spectacular way. Most likely in the middle of season two or the finale of season two.

Something tells me Jon Favreau watched this video (P.S: I know that the new episode was filmed before this video was made. Issa joke)

Like han solo once said " never tell me the odds!"

This was a really cool video. My favorite part of Vader Immortal was the introduction bit where the player gets to wander around part of the ship; I would love more games and media that show the interior of ships in Star Wars

Razor Crest Issues: Everything

When you said that it was commisioned during the old republic I wondered how it survived 3 millenia.

I always thought that the ship just looked like a brick with two big engines on top, which always made me wonder why the people at Disney tried to promote the ship as "The coolest ship in the galaxy", when that title clearly belongs to the Falcon.

Well... seems like we no longer need to worry about that ...

I'd say it has quite a lot of them now.

This is the channel I watch most on KZfaq, and I bought the "Humanity First" T-shirt. I run their "most recent" Playlist. After getting into work in the morning, I turn on Generation Tech while I catch up on emails that came in overnight; I turn on the phones and press pause as the calls come in. After 2 hours, I take a coffee and smoke break and the play continues. I generally do this all day at work. When I get home I read, watch movies and whatever shows I'm following. When I'm ready to go to bed I put my earbuds back in, put the volume really low, and play Generation Tech. I listen/watch every video 3 to 4 times.

you could make a 2 hour video and we'd all watch

If the razorcrest is classified as a gunship then it's classified wrong. That classification is extremely stupid. A gunship is not a big ship with guns, it's a ship that is primarily focused on guns. The razorcrest is clearly not that, nor ever was. It clearly is and always has been a transport first and foremost.

What Razor Crest? I don’t see any Razor Crest? I Just see that pile of....oh shit.

Please do a 10 Flaws of the Droid drop ship that carry the ground Droid deployer sorry can't remember the name

To me it’s like having an old muscle car. The exterior seems to hold up better than the new lighter weight paneling. But the older models can sure take a heck of a lot more damage than newer ships but also probably require more maintenance. Definitely heavier and less maneuverable but sturdier and more reliable. The fact that he was able to get that thing to fly. May need some upgrades at some point but perfectly suited to take a lot of damage and get from point A to B

Don’t need to worry about the design flaws anymore, huh?

I've been thinking about how things could be re-arranged and upgraded in the Razor Crest. Improvements to utilize the limited available space and storage areas better. Especially to make a better sleep rack for Din. Jamming himself in that small area looks rily uncomfortable. Also other upgrades on the Crest including her weapons, as you mentioned. Install some missiles on loaded racks inside on her lower sides, that can be extended out of the ship and deployed. Tip those missiles with Beskar. Rack up some speeder bikes on one wall of the cargo area. Install drop down sleep racks on the other wall, to accommodate others who are traveling with Din. Also, she could use a small scout ship, assist ship-carried up top of the ship between the engines area, in its own attached housing that is accessible from inside the Crest. And she needs her own Beskar armor. And a nice paint job, with the Mandalorian symbol on the front, and Din's clan symbol on the sides. And outer lights that will illuminate her when she leaves a battle victorious, with flags flying. Now, where to find a lot of Beskar got me to thinking as well. There may be a slew of Beskar armor on the fallen Mandalorians as they lay lightly covered by soil over time on The Purge battlefield. Determined and dedicated individual(s) could locate the fallen scattered across the battlefield, bury them with dignity in an area together, leaving their helmets on their heads and their signet pauldron resting upon their hearts because we are not savages-and keep the knowledge of where they are buried on the down low so no one disturbs their graves to take the rest of their Beskar. Then take the recovered Beskar to be used again for Mandalorians and their ships. Din has a clan to look after that can grow in numbers. A small fleet of Razor Crests would thrill the daylights out of me, haha. So, yeah, been thinking about this kind of stuff, too. The Crest is a classic. She can be even more awesome than she is right now.

It's like they wanted to borrow from "Firefly"

I’m pretty sure Din is going to repair his ship for episode 4

Thank you Generation Tech for displaying that page from whatever cross-section the Razor Crest is in.

I mean its technically flawless now

The Razor Crest is a military H1 Humvee stripped down and sold from an army surplus store and now re-purposed as a general 4WD pickup truck by the Mando. I will say this though, it is reliable and self serviceable. I can't say if any other space craft can be maintained by one person without a trusty astromech or Wookie at their side.

In my opinion, there's not enough armor on top. Leaves the ship open to an orbital strike, for instance.

12/04/2020 the razorcrest is no more, RIP

Turns out the biggest design problem with the Razor Crest is that it couldn't withstand a hit from a heavy turbolaser while its shields were down.

Well, they are no longer a problem.

Great vid GenTech! I was so sad when the Razor Crest was destroyed, I doubt Mando will be able to get another one just like it.

One thing I'd add to increase the ship's defense abilities would be a turret. Ships like the Millenium Falcon and the Ghost, despite being heavy, massive and to some extent slow targets compared to starfighters were still more than capable of holding their own in a battle. In fact, since Star Wars starships are heavily inspired by WW2 aircrafts, it's surprising the Razor Crest doesn't have one. Only downside is that automated turrets are rare in Star Wars iirc, so he'd need a teammate or a droid.

What do you mean it doesn't have autopilot? Then who was in control when he and the frog lady slept during space flight?

It's great listening to allen knock the crest, especially knowing what happens to it.

Had to pause before watching and just say, I think I'm about to hear a whole bunch of Hersey here LOL

It also can't deflect a Light Cruiser turbolaser blast

Kinda reminds me of Jango Fett's old ship from legends, Jaster's Legacy, that ship even looks like the Razor Crest!

4:05 thought he did hav autopilot in season 2 ep 3

It's no surprise that it's seen as a piece of junk in the star wars universe...

Mando's episode "The passenger" Had a LOT of camera shots and zooms that reminded me of Firefly. Not even to mention that in Firefly's "The Message" episode, they were flying through a snowy chasm to evade authorities also.

Aa nerdy as a it sounds. I want to see a video about the gasless, cordless tig welder

Dave Filoni: Watches this video. Dave Filoni: Hmmmm..... Maybe we should destroy it.

Imagine he swaps it for a clone wars drop ship , it would look dope , he could also paint his clan symbol on the side :D

After all that has recently happened he would be wise to take the ship back to his friend on Tatooine snd have her fix it before continuing on. The next trouble he runs into is going to be really bad if he does not fix the ship better or replace it.

With the amount of damage the Razor Crest is taking, I'm wondering if the creators are building up for it to be replaced by something else towards the end of a season.

The biggest flaw with the Razorcrest is the pilot constantly not locking up when he leaves the vessel or turning on the automated defense system.

You know what Dinn needs. A Pursuer class police vessel.

With Ahsoka's returning in The Mandalorian, whatever happens to Sabine? Did she and Ahsoka even found Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn at all?

Well we don't have to worry about the flaws anymore......

Number 11: you can't shave with it. Imagine if Mando gets the Slave I somehow.....

how dare you say there are flaws with the Razor Crest Generation Tech: This is the way me: This is the way.

I was also surprised when I realized he didn't have any secondary weapons (rockets or even laser cannons that aren't as heavy). After this last episode, it definitely needs some proper TLC and system upgrades. Having an astromech to pilot it or a secondary person to pilot it would have come in handy when he was fighting the dragon. For close air support.

3:05 no matter how good a pilot The Mandalorian is... * Mando proceeds to lay waste to a squad of Tie Fighters just an episode later *

Beautiful studio Allen

Despite its age and original use, I think there are a lot of advantages that make it more accommodating for his travels and purpose.

Amazing video!

Most of these problems aren't problems with the razor Crest as a design just that it is outdated and/or din Jarin won't install a droid. It seems like a pretty good transport/gunship design and the fact that it is competitive with fighters at all is pretty impressive Also as Din Jarin needs to be able to transport frozen bounties and/or presumably lives on the ship a fair amount of the time it seems a relatively sensible ship for him

As much as I love the Falcon, I think the Razor Crest has a better cockpit, as it's in the front-middle instead of unevenly to the right. Just my thoughts on comparing the two ships.

But the ship has a toilet which you can’t say of most other Star Wars space ships (for example: Naboo Cruiser from part one and two, the Sith Infiltrator from part one, the Millennium Falcon, the CR90 Blockade-Runner, Sklave One or the imperial Lambda class shuttle

Finally I’ve been begging for like three weeks
