Ion engines are about as powerful as mouse farts Scott manley- 2013

"Given that ion engines are about as powerful as a mouse fart..." Your accent makes that line that much better.

I hate to be all nerdy here, but a Pilot who flew 20 (I think) successful missions in a regular TIE fighter would be promoted to flying the TIE interceptor

All we need to make this an official Star Wars movie is Wilhelm scream.

In sonic we had the Death Egg. Here we have the Death onion. Now if only someone could make a Death ham.. Then we could make a really tasty Death Omelette. :)

The Death Star utilized 9 individual nuclear fusion reactors, each of such a massive scale as to all together form the bulk of the station. Yet even with all of that power it still took about 24 standard hours to fully charge the super laser. Note: The laser did NOT have to be fully charged to destroy a planet.

Actually, it is easily my favourite N64 game, I'm really disappointed that they messed up the sequel.

Am I the only SW fan that DIDN'T have a problem with The Phantom Menace? Cause I watched the HELL out of that movie when I was little. And I still enjoy it today. As well as the next two movies after it.

The Death Onion

"Ion engines are about as powerful as a mouse fart." XDXDXDXDXD I fucking DIED. XDXDXDXDXD

"You would always blow them, and their panels would pop off." -Scott Manley.

Phantom Menace wasn't that bad,I thought Darth Maul was pretty great

Scott Manley said the Death Star looks like an ONION. Scott Manley is Scottish. Shrek likes onions, he also has a Scottish accent. Scott Manley is Shrek.

"EXERTING GRAMS OF FORCE!" XD I just lost it.

I sure this has bean said but in the case that it hasn't I will say it. the Y wing is a bomber not a fighter, the older fighters that the rebels used before the X wing was the Z-95 head hunter

5:45 Luke: "I don't believe it!" Scott: "That is why you fail."

The phantom menence personaly my favorite SW movie any one else think that?

I actually built a Tantive IV in 0.24 (where they introduced the XXL fuel tanks) that was able to launch from Kerbin and fly all the way to Jool (after refueling in Kerbin orbit), with an 8-kerbal crew capacity and a science module built in, as well as having a docking port on the nose to carry a small lander with it.

I always liked how the tie interceptor's solar panels angled around the craft instead of the tie fighter's flat panels. Makes it pick up solar power no matter it's orientation.

14:25 the tie interceptor was developed between episode V and VI, so that's why we only see them in VI

Look who's the only one aboard the Star Destroyer at 00:49, that's right, it's Jebediah!

"Exerting grams of force" LOL

Don't confuse "Ion Cannon" with "Ionic Cannon" - most of the expanded universe stories from the 80's referred to the Death Star's superweapon as the Ionic Cannon. I've no idea if they've retconned this since.

Not sure if anyone's said it yet, but there's actually a very good reason that few Imperial pilots fly "Squints", or TIE Interceptors. They're crazy fast, heavily armed, but they have the durability of a sheet of tissue paper with a giant "SHOOT HERE" target spray-painted onto it. Squint pilots were generally a combination of brilliant and either suicidal, or just plain crazy. They had a much higher mortality rate than typical TIE Fighter pilots (Which, granted, was already over 50%), so anyone getting into an Interceptor cockpit gets in with an ego the size of the Executor and skills to back it up. Or, so they think. Then Wedge Antilles puts a quad-linked laser blast through their cockpit, which is the number 1 cure for inflated Imperial egos.

Play starwars battlefront 2 for better references at builds

i think vaders fighter is a tie advanced

The death star uses a hyperspace reactor. They call it a hyper matter reactor. What they’re basically doing is they are accelerating a piece of matter into hyperspace, while keeping it stationary, in the reactor chamber. And so they’re basically taking the hem of that dimension’s garment and then pulling it across down into your own dimension. What results is that the material that is now belonging to hyperspace but still is in your dimension with you, and in fact the three-dimensional space itself, becomes really charged with energy because hyperspace is a higher energy dimension. Normal space, which is called real space, is a lower energy reality. And basically you are siphoning this energy from that hyperspace dimension and that’s how you get enough power to blow up a planet. Episode 4, 5, and 1 are my favorites.

Star Wars meets Kerbal Space Program, huh?... I have an idea, from the Star Wars Universe for you. Build the Kuat Drive Yards orbiting ship yard. :)

"exerting GRAMS of force!" 😂

Vaders fighter is called the Tie Advanced, well kinda, in legends it was an experimental prototype that became the Tie Advanced, Vader was so impressed with it during testing he demanded to keep the prototype for himself before it was mass produced.

Scott Manley, your one crazy Scottish Dude, Love your KSP Tutorials. The one with your dad had me in stitches. Sounded like me and my dad. Keep up the good work my friend .

"These were all made ABOUT A WEEK AGO" Sorry, had to do it

Darth vaders tie fighter is called a tie advance

Cool seeing star wars ships flying in realistic orientation

Scott, you are indeed manly. The amount of testicular fortitude it takes to flawlessly execute these missions for us is staggering. Even greater is the testicular fortitude it takes to reattempt a failed mission. Over. And over. And over again.

15:20 there are just 3 StarWars Movies..................

battlefront and battlefront 2 was way better than the pod racing game...

I still love to play Episode 1: Racer! By far one of my favorite Star Wars games of all time. I loved seeing all of the different racers and their designs, not to mention the other planets in the universe!

"...exerting GRAMS of force!" That was funnier than I think you intended, Scott. XD

I'm sorry but attack of the clones is by far the worst of the 6 movies. I would rank them: V, IV, VI, I, III, II.

CUD YOU PLEASE STOP GIVING SPOILERS! (i haven't seen the Star Wars films...kill me)

I can not stop picturing a Kerbal in a tiny Darth Vader suit. With their huge head they would look just like Dark Helmet. !!! Scott... Build the Mega Maid.

Ohh, I used to play the podracing game for the N64 all the time with a friend when we were about 8 yrs old. Sweet memories :D

For a lot of people, what got them hooked into Star Wars was how beat up everything looked, it was essentially a western in space. Fast forward a few years and episodes 1, 2 and 3 were all shiny and new and it put a lot of people off, especially some proper old school film fans who hate CGI in all forms.

8:00 that is actually a great idea. I would play the hell out of that

Does anyone else notice the poor screaming kerbals at the bottom right of the screen whenever Scott blows stuff up?

Hearing Scott laugh evilly for the first time was hilarious.

Darth Vader's TIE Fighter was the first prototype for the TIE Advance which is a longer range fighter with it's own warp drive and shields, two things the standard TIE fighter did not have.

Hi All, I'm Phoenix, aka FatKerbal who made these. Had no idea the one and only Scott Manley had reviewed these ships. Just wanted to say thankyou! I have the biggest grin on my face right now

I'm right there with ya, Scott. That pod racing game on N64 was amazing!

i love how when you show the star destroyer jebidiah is driving with the biggest smile ever

OWgh I can replay scotts intro until I die... LOVE IT

Oh my goodness I freaking loved that pod racing game on n64. So many great memories

That N64 pod racing game was definitely the best racing game that system over got. I remember trying to split collision damage across both engines so one wouldn't be more powerful than the other, if not you'd have a steering bias leading to more wall scraping. You needed to ram the other racers at later stages of the game or they'd always get around you, so it got really tense near the end when both your engines are failing and you need to ram the guy in first.

14:40 That's actually quite a good point, as the normal TIE's also are often used for fighting in athmospheres in the expanded universe.

Note on SW Ep-1 Racer for N64: That's the game that convinced me to get an N64, which was also the first console I ever actually worked for.

You know your Star Wars sir. I'm impressed.

Pod Racers on the N64 was my childhood!!! I've since lost it unfortunately, but it was amazing....

15:15 - 15:18 had me laughing so hard with how casually you said it.

you know for the republic drop ship they should've made it in to a VTOL (hover jet) since most of the time in the movie/TV show they hover most of the time. just put a few of them orange micro boosters and it'll give the effect of hovering. then in space you can use the main booster (with the exeption of other boosters to even it out). then put space plane landig gear (with breaks) and it'll have the effect of them landing. and for the Kerbins you can put those seats they have and put them into the middle to make it look like they're being dropped to their battle. after that I'm pretty sure it'll be a useful aircraft to use. PS- love your vids

"Facilitating the Death Star's realspace propulsion were a network of powerful ion engines that transformed reactor power into needed thrust. In order for the Death Star to be a deadly threat, it needed to be mobile. Using linked banks of 123 hyperdrive field generators tied into a single navigational matrix, the Death Star could travel across the Galaxy at superluminal velocities. The incredible energies harnessed by the station combined with its great mass gave the Death Star magnetic and artificial gravitational fields equal to those found on orbital bodies many times greater in size."

I believe that sequel was actually a prequel, but I can say that it was not 'bad' but it certainly did not live up to the expectations put forth by the quality of the original. Perfect Dark is easily my favorite N64 title. You can tell that Rare put lots of love and care into it. I was actually playing it today :)

as a rebel fighter once said “ Y wings are versatile, but they move like a sleepy hutt."

16:56 what you are trying to do, that's a good trick!

09:49 "WOAH! THAT GOT 'EM! NICE SHOT JANSON!"

"as powerful as a mouse fart" HAHAHA you crack me up

The official designation of Vader's TIE is the TIE Advanced x1, which was a prototype. Some of its design elements would go into the TIE Bomber and the TIE Interceptor

FUN FACT: The Death Star was powered by Kyber Crystals (What makes the saber's blade) as explained in Rouge One

yay! someone else who appreciates the awesomeness of perfect dark!

"...exerting GRAMS of force!" is my new favorite saying.

8:19 official designation as the tie advanced X1. 11:09 tie bomber designated as an advanced X3 13:55 tie interceptor designated as an advanced X2 15:15 no scott, it's a CIS droid command ship or a battleship if you don't add the extra antennas. 17:30 it's a naboo N1 starfighter 18:19 it's a hailfire droid!! 1 missile is one dead laat gunship or one dead at-te walker 19:26 they called it a spider droid for the way it moved across the landscape 20:10 that looks like a very top heavy laat/i

So many hours spent playing Perfect Dark as a kid. The multiplayer was mind blowing at the time, haha.

At the part with the B-Wing (13:00), I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe.

Not to mention, they can have phase cloaks on any ship of their choosing, if they decide to ignore a treaty. The can also fire while at warp, go to warp almost instantly, and create sub-space tears if they feel like it.

I remember when Star Wars was a bigger thing just because it was incredible for its time. But now we can make better things and even have control over them. Oh well, goodnight Star Wars, you had a good run.

Pod Racer in n64 was amazing, brings back good memories, seperated it from the movie easily as pod racers are just cool.

The 'side panels' on that TIE FIGHTER look like two inverted *barn door kites* . Really

I completely forgot about that game... thank you so very much!

Darth Vaders TIE Fighter is designated as the 'TIE Advanced X1'. It features a shield and hyperdrive, both which are features that normal TIE Fighters lack. Interesting fact: TIE fighters dont have life support systems either and rely on the pilot's suit to sustain them. They also don't take off from the ground but are 'hanged' from the ceiling of a hangar which the pilot enters from the top.

Darth Vader’s tie is called the tie advanced. Also a light saber can cut many stuff including AT AT armor.

I think regular TIEs are used because the Intercepter was a recent development, and they still has TIEs lying around. Presumably, Intercepters are harder to fly, so they gave TIEs to less skilled pilots.

There's this thing called the extended universe, which is made up of hundreds of books, comics, games, etc, which go into detail about his TIE Fighter. It's the TIE Advanced x1, or TIE/x1, and was the precursor to such TIE designs as the TIE Avenger and TIE Defender.

youtube i love thank you for making videos

"...Exerting... GRAMS of force!" Best quote ever.

wow I just pressed play on the video and that corvette looks awesome.

Episode I Racer was an awesome game. My brother and I played the hell out of that game when we were kids. That and Rogue Squadron and Shadows of the Empire. They were great.

I argue although weight is force and SI is neutons, statements like "you weigh (x) grams on the moon" and therefore grams CAN be used as a description of force. So you are right Scott.

Possible death star power (Defiantly Star Wars Cannon): 2 or more black holes That have enough velocity to orbit each other and when mass is pushed into the event horizon it produces massive amounts of power. Something along those lines.

that interceptor played a huge role in the force unleashed 1 and 2 as the rouge shadow

Happy Fathers Day Scott! Hope you have a wonderful day!

when that second AT-AT exploded, it looked so satisfying.

I do believe that the Y-wing, and later the B-wing were bombers/fighters, while the X-wing, and later also the A-wing were interceptors. Both were old models, but your run of the mill TIE-series fighter, while newer, followed the imperial "quantity over quality"-doctrine to the letter.The standard series didn't even include shields or landing gears to shave off expenses.

May the force be with you!

Star wars pod racer for the N64 and Perfect Dark were in fact some of the most awesome games for the console.

Woah woah woah... did he just say there aren't many games on the N64? That system was the best system... of all time with so many incredible games on it Super Mario 64 Super Smash Brothers Mario Kart Mario Golf Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Destruction Derby Golden Eye Banjo Kazooie/ Tooie Paper Mario Mario Party... 1,2,3 And those are just ones I remember off the top of my head.. N64 was my childhood.

Everyone says Jar-Jar is annoying and stupid, but I think it's very charming, and he's a good character, also, everyone thinks phantom menace is bad, but they haven't seen "the clone wars". 'Nuff said

if star wars were in the kerbal's galaxy, the destroying of "the death onion" is just a docking gone wrong

the last one, you put the gears up and aims it towards space.

13:20 "And those engines light up, exerting grams of force!"

LOL finally someone els who knows the glory of that pod racing game lol....
