Bonus cool video on how to build and manage fleets like Admiral Ackbar: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z59noaSS0tTbpas.html Love Eck!

For once Ackbar can say, "it's MY TRAP!"

Ackbar was smart and humble... not too proud to learn from his enemies.

"the real Isard was still alive, despite being dead"

Ackbar [in canon] also learnt Thrawn's [legends] trick of being killed in a unworthy manner that was contemptuous, just as a prominent battle was occurring…

I'm starting to see the pattern to Ackbar. First he learns from Tarkin, now Thrawn. He's not the best at innovating new tactics, but he's good at picking other people's stuff up and using it in new ways.

I loved this from Isard's Revenge. That Ackbar directly learned from his experiences with Thrawn and then used that knowledge against Krennal was a delight to see. One note though Eck, Krennal was not aware the attack was coming, he was mobilizing for a raid on Coruscant, which is why he had more forces at his capital at the time Ackbar arrived.

I remember Eck once mentioning that Thrawn wanted Ackbar out of the picture before he began his campaigns in full, I think this is why.

This is the real Admiral Ackbar story after Return of the Jedi! Not the canon one, where he died during the First Order-Resistance intergalactic chase.

Sigh. This sort of thing always makes me miss the "Legends" stuff.

This in combination with what Rogue Squadron are doing on the surface makes for one of my favorite moments in the entire X-Wing series.

Legends Ackbar was a badass.

The Interdictor hijinks in Legends were always glorious, similar with the tractor beam dodging. It just shows how innovative writers were about technology present in story and they gave it new spin to open new venues. You don't have to dismiss old rules set by other sources, but expand on what was already built.

This is one of the reasons why I call him Grand Admiral Ackbar

Is Isard dead? Well yes but actually no

"Isard betrayed the New Republic". Gee, who could have seen _that_ coming...:P

You got me into legends I was born after legends so I never got to know it but your channels have got he into legends and I’m loving it 🥰 Ps loving EAW

ah yes, finally.

Alternate title: Ackbar uses Thrawn's Cute Tricks at Cutric

9:55 mins? Respect

"It's a trap"

2:15 “he was still alive, despite being dead”

What did thrawn think about Admiral Ackbar

Eck I’m happy to see you continue to upload during this crazy time it brings me joy to watch you

I'm just a normal guy. Eck uploads a Video, I click.

The return of battle breakdowns yeeeessss!!!

Ackbar, “Thrawn you magnificent bastard I READ YOUR BOOK!”

Everyone: "im early quick think of something funny"

It’s really fun to see you doing battle breakdowns, it’s so immersive.

2:13 "The *real* Isard actually was still alive despite being dead..." Star Wars Legends in a nutshell lol

So what would happen if... Thrawn and Ackbar were on the same side, co-commanding a pair of fleets with as much communication between the two as is necessary (if not outright putting both of them on the same flagship)?

I stay up until 2:30 to watch these video's, you are my favourite youtuber

"The real isard was actually still alive, despite being dead" Excuse me?

love the videos eck, keep it up

Never be too proud to learn lessons from your enemies

Battle breakdowns became a thing right after I started watching this channel. I'm glad to see them back.

Nice vid, great work!

Love this battle, Isard's Revenge is honestly my third favourite X-wing novel.

Ackbor was The Rebel greatest leaders

With this move Ackbar somewhat decreased the enemys advantage of an interdictor cruiser.

2:13 "The real Isane Ysard was actually still alive despite being dead"............. sorry, say that again?

Just finished rereading Isard's Revenge, such a fantastic series

Wow great video eck. Can’t wait for more

Awesome to see another battle breakdown. Ackbar executed Thrawns strategy really well here.

Yay, more battle breakdowns

#AskEck The United Earth Alliance Omega Class Destroyer *(Babylon 5)* vs the UNSC Marathon-Class Heavy Cruiser *(Halo).*

That was brilliant!

Keep up the good work 👍

Love both. Wish there where alot more Ackbar and Thrawn battles. Besides the books and games.

i didn't know what the thrawn pincer was exactly, and this video explained it and goddAMB thrawn was a genius

I have been liking all the videos but remembered something...what happened about the big plan of battle of the Dreadnoughts?Its not even being talked about on the channel now!That small animated battle by EC,you and the others was just incredible!I am really hoping to see more news on any new project if possible,it really is a piece this channel NEEDS.

I didn't know Ackbar used one of thrawns tactics and used it vary well too thanks for the battle break down

This video came out the day after I finished The Last Command, perfect timing.

i love your outtro

Oh wow, actually landed an AskEck question

these smaller scale battles are fascinating

Fantastic strategy

Such a creative work around to not having an interdictor! Is it just me or are the tactics used in the Galactic Civil War(mostly Legends Post-Endor) far more clever and cunning then those seen during the days of the Republic, in the Clone Wars for example. Don't get me wrong, there are neat little strategies and tactics used by the Republic and CIS that are really fascinating but nothing quite as unique as the Thrawn Pincer or the Ackbar Slash.

#askeck - I’ve had this question for a minute and I was wondering if you could give your thoughts. In Star Wars Rebels Admiral Thrawn conducts an orbital bombardment of the Rebel base, in which we see multiple ISD’s utilizing their main batteries. Now, just a single blast of these turbolaser batteries is very often quoted to have a destructive yield greater than the megaton range in Star Wars circles. And yet, in Star Wars Rebels, we see Kaanan speeding through the bombardment on a speeder bike, and the bombardment appears to be much closer in destructive yield to a conventional artillery barrage. Obviously, if turbolasers were even very conservatively carrying megaton yield effects, one shot would have put Kaanan and a 10 mile radius up in irradiated smoke. So just as a thought experiment, if we took this scene as a canonical example of turbolaser power…how would that prompt us to rethink everything about space combat in Star Wars? Just feel like this is an interesting case study. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7iCY7WB19jDops.html&t=33 P.S. I'd actually love if you did a whole video analyzing this!

There's a serious flaw in the Interdictor's field. The cone you drew shows that a ship could possibly be pulled out of Hyperspace only to ram into the Interdictor itself.

I think there was a quote from Sun Tzu, but I think it has something to do with “learn from your enemy.” You know if Thrawn survive until the end of the war, he could make his own art of war book. It will be called, “Thrawn’s art of war.”

Sweet, new vid :D

If I recall correctly, while the Prince Admiral was humanocentric, he was actually welcoming to the idea of having a Quarren fight for him that he believed was eager to spill Mon Calamari blood.

Wow this is a cool video which i will like and subscribe

dont worry we'll get you to 100k on your other channel Eck!

Do an updated battle breakdown of exagol

It’s been almost 3 years since the last Jedi, and I still feel sad when I remember how Rian Johnson killed admiral Akbar

"Rommel, you magnificent bastard *_I READ YOUR BOOK!"_*

I wonder, what would it have been like if Ackbar was the one that sacrificed himself and not Holdo and he was the one that ended up killing Thrawn, who became the leader of the Final Order in the rise of skywalker? That would have been a memorable death for both of them. Even if the hyperspace thing made no sense when Holdo did it, I feel Ackbar still could have sacrificed himself to take down Thrawn and the fleet in a different way.

now I know why thrawn wanted ackbar out of picture before he began his campaign in legends. Because he knew ackbar could adapt his strategy and use it against him

Hey eck where is the tapcaf transmission about the campaign as I’m interested in checking it out. Thanks!

Trawn used enemy gravity shadow field in hes first time.

#AskEck Can you make a scenario about what would happen if the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Milky Way Galaxy from Star Trek?

it means you don't need your own interdictor to use Thrawn pincer you can use enemy‘s one if you could misguide them to generate a field for you， even you does not notice or Thrawn pincer could utilize for capture interdictors， let enemy interdictor pull off your landing ship， which may aim to capture an interdictor or even use hyperspace missiles to let interdictor direct "stab"

What do you use for the fleet visuals eck their really awesome

Just finished that book a month ago. Great read. Second best of the X-wing series.

I was thinking when battle breakdown return

I like how most popular characters in star wars aren't even human. Ahsoka, Thrawn, and Hera just to name a few.

I saw David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson again! Lol what mod is that a part of for Empire at War? What ships do they fly when you spawn them in game?

The books pronounce this planet as 'see-YOO-trick'.

#askeck - What's the best Star Wars science explanation of how shielding technology works? How is it possible to shield an entire planet like in Rogue one?

A welcome surprise

I kinda wanna check out AOTR again, I feel like I judged it to quickly, and I just never really got used to the star fighters in that mod. Any suggestions for AOTR specifically?

Hello there

How do you animate your videos in the battle breakdowns?

Fun question my friend asked me. Do you think a Siren (Like Lilith, Maya, or Amara from Borderlands) could take on a Jedi?

Ackbar: "It's a Trap! But not for me!"

#AskEck Maybe I ask a question do you think this may maybe this is how new canon work The Empire continues for a year til the battle of Jakku were sprinted into sub factions some of them form the Imperial remanent others became warlords and other became the first order

Whoa.

Which program do you use to make videos like this or other battle breakdowns?

Great

Battle of the Dreadnoughts sequel?!

What program do you use for these battle maps?

“The real ice art (or whatever) was still alive, despite being dead” Ah, I see...

#AskEck Since Disney now owns Fox, what do you think they will do with their R-Rated franchises? ignoring the Marvel stuff, Disney now owns Home Alone, Ice Age, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Avatar, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Night at the Museum, Independence Day, and Planet of the Apes, witch are more or less family friendly (i know ID4, Buffy, and Apes aren't, but at least kids can watch them without getting nightmares). These i can see being rebooted or getting fresh talent. But now they also have Alien, Predator, The Omen, Taken, Die Hard, Wrong Turn, Kingsman, Lake Placid, The Hills Have Eyes, The Fly, and the Exorcist. These are franchises that i doubt Disney knows what to do with. Kingsman, i can kinda sorta see getting a kiddified spinoff like Starship Troopers did with Roughnecks, and Die Hard and Taken could be taken down to PG-13 through reboots, but the others... all the rest are serious hard R-rated franchises- predominately Horror, too- with a lot of gore and scares that would give kids nightmares for weeks on end. What do you think Disney will do with the R-Rated stuff?

what do you use to create these battle break down videos??

I too have seen the whole video and can comment on what happened

Ciutric IV was the planet where Darth Bane and Darth Zannah lived for a while.

Speaking of the GaG, why do they just use Espo uniforms? Some sort of clearance sale?

I really hope Legends comes back.
