This was a lot of work, but I think it came out well! Still a lot of improvements I hope to make, but let me know if there's some other campaigns you'd like to see covered in this way. If you enjoyed, make sure to like, subscribe, or share it somewhere!

So basically, they left a lot of imperial worlds in their rear, focusing on controlling the major hyperspace routes and taking what worlds they could, isolating the imperial worlds they left behind and essentially keeping them from organizing any proper counterattack?

I never would have thought that the Rebel strategy was basically a galactic blitzkrieg, but upon considering how few resources and how the Rebels had generally more maneuverable ships, it makes a lot of sense. It's cool how much the visual medium made your descriptions easier to follow, and it provided a much clearer picture of the importance of obscure battles on some random backwater planets. These are awesome.

This was an absolute vital time for the New Republic for they needed victories against the Empire and the Warlords that rose up after Endor. Those same Warlords were also genius with the resources that had and they were arguably more dangerous now that Palpatine was gone, but luckily they more focus against each other rather than the fledgling New Republic.

Corey’s Datapad actively makes me want to get more into Legends

Awesome video, great quality! The only criticism I'd have is that it was unclear at times which planets were under Imperial Remnant (Coruscant) control, although arguably there are not enough sources to verify a lot of that.

I love this new video format, it makes it so much easier to follow the lore and understand the campaigns of war. Super engaging, too. Keep up the amazing work. To offer some constructive suggestions, maybe add in symbols to signify an imperial or republic victory. And perhaps blue arrows for the republic fleet movement and red arrows for known imperial fleet movements.

Bro.. I know I'm a little late to the table here... But this shit is so money. Absolutely fantastic work, my dude. Bravo!

A huge singular fleet of Nebulon-Bs and Y-Wings against a Praetor II and other Imp ships?! Whoa, that's kinda rad. I might add that all this would have actually happened in a similar fashion during WW2's end. Can you imagine if the Germans and Japanese were diehard enough to disobey surrender orders and fought on for at least a decade or so? Well, can't wait to see the Liberation of Coruscant, the Isard campaign, the Zsinj campaign, the Thrawn campaign, and Operation Shadow Hand onwards.

Have to say that was a very succinct and brilliantly retold tale of how the New Republic successfully made use of its resources and the disunity and fractured nature of the imperial warlords and surviving imperial central authority to isolate and destroy weaker imperial warlords in the south, whilst liberating rebel worlds and laying the groundwork for the eventual liberation of Coruscant. Made easy to follow by all the very useful maps and campaigns pushes shown upon them.

I have to be honest. I'm loveing this series/type of videos. They are easy to understand and know + the clear animations. Keep it up Corey, please.

Very nice!

This simply makes more sense from both sides than what we got forced on us in Disney canon. It really felt that they wanted to make Jakku important so tried to make everything revolve around a singular moment instead of a more scattered conflict

Zjinn battles in the books are some of my favorites. Though, I always hesitate to think that the Fleet General Solo commanded really was a match for Zjinn's forces. BUT...the author was smart enough to work around it more or less.

Man, this is my favourite video you've ever done. Amazing. Can't wait for more

It still baffles me how they couldn’t bring something like this in canon. Why shaft the New Republic of all the factions?

Loved the new map. It would be awesome to see some of the Vong war played out in this style. I haven't read those books so I'm curious.

I would very much like to see this done for all the major campaigns that we have details in the Expanded Universe for. Post Endor, Pre-Endor. Hell even the Vong War and others once there's time for them.

The video turned out fantastic. I love the map, it really helps visualizing those campaigns on a galactic scale.

That ws amazing. I hope you will do a follow up. I love playing empire at war amd Follow legends story after endor. Now it will be even easier ;)

Wow! This B roll model footage is amazing.

It is a bit annoying that they never go into exactly WHAT they were doing to "Cut off" the Hyperlanes. Interdiction mines like the ones on the way to Mon Cala maby? Because leaving a fleet there seems like a chance to get it caught and hammered. I guess a few snoop ships that can call in a response fleet if the enemy moves out of their usual sectors?

great video would love to see more content like this in the future

This is great, looking forward to the follow up!

This was awesome- great work!! I look forward to more!

This is fantastic, keep up the good work.

I really needed this video. Now I understand how NR went from rebellion to galactic government.

I really love this map based video, I can better connect events and characters. Really looking forward to the next part in the series

It'd be great to see the Crimson Command campaign! Which map-making software did you use for this? It looks great 😁

This is one of my favorite videos you've done, awesome info and the animations were fantastic!

Excellent video Corey, thank you for your hard work

great job, i love the galaxy map progression animations.

Yo, Sick map Visuals.

Awesome video. Great Job!

Awesome job! You always make good stuff, and the time youve taken on this one is clear 🙂

3:30 Moorja always seemed like something of a joke battle that they just stuck in there.

i really loved this cory! good job

This was an awesome video. Hope you can make a part two.

It was so cool. Lot's of good work right there !!!

Definitely more like these please!!!!

Amazing. This is so effective at setting out the chronology. I'd love to see something similar for the Vong War

great video, Corey!

Awesome video.

15:08 Huh, I coulda sworn Rogriss got art somewhere, but no, Phennir just has to take all the glory.

this is my favorite of your videos, very good job.

This video was really cool and interesting! As for requests of other campaigns, I'd love to see sometime down the road Orinda and the following Imperial overextension.

A magnificient video Really the kind of things I love to see Respect for the work and really excited for more !

This is beautiful, and zoomed out to the scale I enjoy the most for scifi/fantasy wars.

this was one of your best so far. Would be amazing if you can make a part 2!

This is exactly what I come to the channel for; another great lore video!

Great video.

Loved this. The energy invested into this work is very well reflected, it turned out a great video.

Excellent work, like a real historical documentary.

Greatest Video ever please do more an all the rest of the GCW campaigns

Kind of neat that this is largely how I play NR campaigns. In game it makes a lot of sense with the way forces are distributed early on, probably intentionally. Great content

Outstanding

Amazing video

This format is amazing, please, continue doing this kind of video

Great job!

This video is everything we need, a lesser know subject but nevertheless incredibly interesting and the more important, particularly well done and researched. This campaign had always been a favorite subject of mine thank to the EGtW and TR of course. Looking forward to more such videos (Orinda? Final Imperial Campaign? Hunt for Zsinj and the following battles for his territory? Prelude to Dark Empire?).

The animations are neat and spot on. Always a pleasant eyecatcher next to the interesting documentation of the battles. ❤

This was pretty awesome dude! I look forward to more in the future! I'd love to hear more about some of the characters here. A break down video for some lesser known commanders from both sides of the civil war could be cool! For more videos like this, I'd be excited really anything but for specifics some Vong War era content would be cool! Or maybe covering the final Imperial push and the Orinda Campaign in greater detail with these cool new assets you've made!

I’m new to your channel and I absolutely love the quality of work that you have put into these breakdown videos!

I would love to see one of the Yuuzhan Vong War.

I really appreciate this, as someone that read stuff like the essential guides even I found the Post Endor confusing in terms of the maps and territory, so this video is super helpful. Happy Holidays!

Great video and a lovely Kotor 2 music ❤️

Amazing video quality Corey! You know what, my fav shot was the underside of the MC80B. I had no idea your model had a ventral hanger! Beautiful work

Fantastic

Excellent video, one of my favorites so far. Just to spitball a suggestion, the map might benefit from something of a visual aid, whether labels to indicate territorial control (to the extent this is even a meaningful concept in-universe), or perhaps some of those stylish emblems indicating Alignment from Authority from whatever a Maldrood is. A periodic cut to the wider state of the galaxy could help contextualize the events at various key points.

Thank you for bringing up this, I needed this for my headcanon for operation: cinder/battle of jakku era.👍

Really, really cool. Doing ones for the clone wars (legends) and the hunt for hoth by the imperials pre esb would be fascinating in this format. Cheers!

Very Epic

amazing

Absolutely remarkable video. The only thing I could ask in the next video, is if you included what novel, video game etc the current battle took place in.

A fine visualization of a fictional military campaign that can serve *to ask questions on strategy, tactics and procurement* in history. Trying to answer such questions will lead to *less contrived fictional writing* of lasting military concepts (the 'ideal types' of theory) that can be applied even to shifting technologies - practicing the 'multi dimensional' perspective that is demanded by a story, set in the vastness of _space_ , but is actually _already_ constituting e.g. modern submarine warfare (the vectors of horizontal direction across a two dimensional map, diving depth and atmospheric ballistics and the minutae of logistics). Relevant topics that can come to mind: 1. the ancient Peloponnesian War between Greek speaking, Ionian and Dorian power blocs where *seapower* was first considered as decissive and utilized and developed as such by _both sides_ - drawing in the Persian Empire and it's Phonecian shipyards as the crucial factor to a Greek 'civil war' about an emergent hegemony by a 'democratic' Delian League (de facto an Attic Empire, legitimized as an alliance against Persia, but leveraged against 'traditionalist' Laconia) 2. the question in naval theory of prioritizing a *'Decissive Battle Doctrine'* (Mahan, Tirpitz, Imperial Japanese Navy when even an expanding *'Fleet in Being'* - or 'Deterrence Fleet' of two thirds the strength of any largest fleet - could force either political concessions or diplomatic realignments) or *'Commerce Raiding'* (Corbett, Galster, Dönitz - in any case if the latter strategy can't be executed effectively due to a lack of a sufficient number of frigate class vessels than 'maritime supremacy' can't be exploited toward an effective economic blockade and it's intended subsequent political unrest). This topic implies also the technical questions *whether swarms of minor assets can 'defeat in detail' isolated major assets* like sophisticated, well rounded capital ships that are practically impossible to replace, timely (armoured and heavily armed 'Ships of the Line' that require large, trained crews), a problem that is reflected in guided missile and drone warfare in general - the latter a trope that is evoked several times within the STAR WARS franchise - right next to it's 'environmentalism' - when unsuspecting Stormtroopers are engineered or 'bewitched' into 'undead' cyborgs to stop the gap in military personnel in 'legends' - or were just _cloned_ in prequel 'canon' - 'incarnating a mechanical, materialist view of the Force that conncets everything that lives', striving to overwhelm any systemic grasp of the galaxy with fierce, brute coercion... 03:30 When the 'Thallassa' 'battlecruiser' succumbs to a swarm of Nebulon-B 'frigates', one could mention the *'Tarkin Doctrine'* , arguably applied by the Eriadu Authority - home region to Wilhuff Tarkin - as *the doctrine had prioritized the construction of major combat assets, binding entire demographics into the efforts* (reminding of the German Tirpitz-Plan and it's agitative 'Navy League') - instead of focusing on *_operational effectiveness_* by the Imperial Navy - e.g. by building - and thouroughly training - several flotillas of escort and patrol vessels to secure the hyperlane trade routes (e.g. reminiscent of the Allied convoys during the Battle of the Atlantic in WW II) - a school of thought, arguably reflected by a *pragmatic* Grand Admiral Thrawn. Because the latter is a debate that frequently reoccurs in real life - including the global war, we all suffer, currently - it makes for *_immersive_** writing* when applied to fictional worldbuilding - whether screenplay or _gameplay_ (modifications of Petroglyph Games's 'Star Wars: Empires at War' of 2006). 3. the Roman Civil Wars between Senatorial 'optimates' (Sulla, Cicero, Brutii) and Tribunal 'populars' (Gracchii, Marius, Julii, Anthony) which first campaign rapidly escalated into *a 'world war' along trade routes from a central Rome (Coruscant) to an indespensible provincial periphery (e.g. grain exports of the Nile Valley) in order to control the 'ecumene', the known world* . Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' had dramatized the Republican strategic reasoning of *shoring it's still very limited forces in the periphery, trading territorial control for time, leveraging the vast resources of Hellenistic colonies in order to encircle and overwhelm - or starve - the central geographic position - which had worked for the 'Entente' and Allies in WW I and WW II before Transatlantic policy shifted in 1945 toward _an imperial 'containment'_ of former colonies and allies with awe inspiring, but maintenance intensive 'super-carriers'... This latter trope is usually ignored by English Speakers and therefore reveals *the ideological blind spot of Transatlantic storytelling* : that everyone, beyond the reach of _Liberal Empire_ is 'worse than Hitler', twisting a STAR WARS franchise, telling a cautious tale of an 'American Bonaparte' into an instrument of the 'politically correct' indoctrination, not toward _pluralist dialogue_ and limited cooperation - e.g. on security politics as in actual 'federalism' - but toward 'universal values', demonizing local, pre-colonial tradition... It is from this contemporary circumstance that the franchise can never be developed into _a classic_ , but will remain _subculture_ , reflecting _civilizational_ flaws in a perpetuated, 'commodified' escapism without offering a relevant resolution to any conflict...

Really good video continue it. Plz

I would love to see this series all the way up till 45ABY, covering every event. This video was excellent.

I'd love to see the Second Galactic Civil War get this treatment.

Wow the new republic didn’t waste any time after Endor and these grand strategies make sense

Very cool video! The criticism I have to offer is that there is a noticeable overlap of background music in the first third of the video, between your SWTOR playlist and the stock soundtrack, maybe it's made more noticeable by the fact that I'm familiarized with both of these tracks, it isn't particularly bothersome, but it's a small detail that makes the presentation seem a bit less polished. I think it's interesting how the New Republic's approach proves how important the trade routes were, more than just holding the core worlds or some insular cluster of rich systems in the outer rim, connecting worlds and peoples mattered for many reasons; the warlords sat in their bastions, feeling secure in their diminutive empires, while the galaxy largely moved on under the New Republic's direction. I don't have a suggestion, but I look forward to whatever.

I love the Essential Atlas. Great resource for my rpg campaigns.

I used to do the same decade ago but only with powerpoint animations. And it took me over a hour to tell same story to quickly shrinking audience at local convention. :P

This makes more sense then the Disney books.

I would love to see some content on the imperial civil war and other imperial v imperial wars that we don’t often see

This is great stuff! However, is this supported by some Legends material/sources or is this just your interpretation of how events went down in Legends?

New here Nice channel 👍🏻

I don't always get how the connections work because the timeline is always wonky but I always thought Thyferra was an Imperial holding until Coruscant fell. Maybe that's just until Isard decided to take it over I don't know, sorting out the Legends timeline can cause headaches.

You should do more animated documentaries on star wars 🙏🤩😍👍

Map is soooooo nice

The issue I had with this video was the competing two overlapping music tracks that played at the first two minutes.

Fantastic breakdown and format! But who's this Luke Skywalker guy? Must be a minor character, with no photo reference.

I want to see this for the clone wars or one of the offensives like dirges lance

Please include the song _On the road to Coruscant_ …

Would you consider doing the Durge Lance or the major engagements in TCW Anakin participated in some notable capacity?

vong campaign please

14:58 Admiral Boomhauer???

How did you make the animations for the ships? SFM?

Who would win, The TIE Bomber, or The CIS Hyena Bomber?

Was Bespin left isolated after Lando liberated it?

Alternative title: Admiral Ackbar's Space Blitzkrieg
