Yeah but normally the rebels had mc80's with them and those could take on star destroyers head on like in the battle of endor.

Ethanoux I dunno what you're even talking about

Ethanoux Nah, I'm good, I really don't care what it is, maybe it could 1v1 a star destroyer, but the Empire is never going to play it fair and fight the Rebellion with anything other then as much overwhelming force as it can bring to bear Which was kind of my entire point, the Rebels are CONSTANTLY outnumbered and outgunned

Only an idiot "plays it fair" in warfare. The goal is to eliminate the enemy's capability to conduct warfare while ensuring your own capability is minimally affected.

That's because they're a woke-arse trash company. George should've kept everything.

Even better, he played a lot of TIE Fighter, the 90's flight sim game where you play as an Imperial fighter pilot (2nd game in the X-Wing series). This is just *full* of nods back to that game. The pilot ready room map display, the cockpit displays, all of them straight out of the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games.

I believe the saying was “your average tie jockey is stupid, your average interceptor pilot’s suicidal, but the defender jockeys? They’re stupid *and* suicidal, that’s what makes them so dangerous”

Yeah, it rewards people who flipped through the books an articles on different ships and weapons. Loved seeing the Interdictor-class and how it gave context to the battle. Also how the admiral switched tactics and fired the ion cannons to disable the transport. Great stuff.

@@FloofMother I thought that was the Tie Advanced/Avenger jockeys. Since the Defender didn't really have much of a showing.

@@RyanEX2000 it might have been avenger, but I might have to open my new essential guide to see the quote again, I could have sworn it was defender though

Yep

Absolutley right!

Well rebel ships were superior in design like how tie fighters, interceptors, and bombers didn’t have shields along with Star destroyers overly exposed shield generators. Pair this with the fact that Tarkin one of the empires best was killed. Also grand admiral thrawn didn’t lead many battles until after Endor.

Three star destroyers worth of Tie's VS some fighters and bombers, transport ships and a medical ship.Outcome might have been different if they fought against Mon Calamari ships, especially MC80 Home One class cruisers.

@@engandaus8815 Plus: the Alliance had brought together the absolute elite of fighter pilots from all over the galaxy. Not that the imperial academies did not produce excellent fighters, too, but for the empire it was quantity over quality - generally speaking a poor choice in counterinsurgency warfare. Besides: the Alliance did their very best to prevent open encounters like this at all cost. The battles of Yavin IV and Endor were absolute exceptions to their method of warfare.

Yeah

They made The Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith, which those two movies about the bad guys won. Despite all of this, Disney refuse to cancelled Star Wars.

And because the rebel doesn't have the numbers like empire, the rebel definitely goes for quality over quantities.

Bob Costas yeah I figured. Only thing I said that would reasonably set it off was rebel scum. Maybe youtube is against the glory of the empire

That orders were being followed, ships were utilized effectively, and shields and other devices were not infallible. And the Star Destroyer Commander simply knew he had the Alliance Fleet outgunned and outmatched. But the Alliance for what they did have, gave a good accounting of themselves and put up a small, but capable fight. Had it been a main line Alliance Fleet with top of the line Mon Calamari Cruisers, it might have gone either much different, or the Imperial Detachment fighting might have taken FAR heavier losses.

the imperial fighters in generals are doing way too much, the tie fighters were notoriously bad in the lore of star Wars.

Ty freechmen from tf2 saga

Yessir!

Well, TIE-bomber quite agile for his class, and barrage of guuided missiles is really good argument against shield-leaning opponents. This could well become a mass tactic.

Look, if only Thrawn didn't disappear during the Liberation of Lothal, the TIE Defenders will soon replace the shitty regular TIE Fighters. The TIE Defenders has shield as strong as TIE Bombers, but as fast as TIE Interceptors. Basically that's like the Empire now has it own A-Wing starfighters, instead of a bunch of annoying space mosquitoes without hyperdrive and proper shield

@@theasianboy315 Actually I'm pretty sure that tie fighters weren't all that bad. Sure they had their faults, but the fact that tie fighters did not have shields was in a way also a plus. It trained imperial pilots to simply not get hit. Which made the average imperial tie pilot one of the best in the galaxy. Correct me if I'm wrong

@@Foundation_Specialist the empire will call anything elite if it works for them in a lot of cases elite soldiers are just glorified Stormtroopers or regular Storm troopers for that matter

@@Foundation_Specialist also the ties themselves were pretty bad compared to the x-wings and most other ships in the history of Star Wars. The pilots had to compensate somewhat but that did not make them anywhere near best in the galaxy.

@@dsdy1205 you mean luke Skywalker and R2-D2?

@@dsdy1205 The one who got shot down? Sure. I see him as a guy who joined the Rebellion out of boredom, volunteered to become a fighter pilot as a way to impress the ladies, and managed to survive just long enough to become a pretty good flyboy but not good enough to survive very long.

The fleet commander is Commander Gaunt. There isn't much known about his past, except that he quickly became best pal with Tarkin, because they share the same political and strategic idea. He is a very competent officer, that always use the same tactic, that is so efficient it work everytime (probe possible rebels hideout, wait for month until one is spotted, jump on it, send waves of TIE while interdictor stop ay ship to jump outta there and force the ennemy to fight or surrender). He love fruit, offer fruit basket to his subordinate, is terrible with a blaster, but deadly with his fist and his basically an anime character when he give an order. The TIE pilot is petty officer Neel that is fresh (1 years) out the flight academy. He is a hotshot pilot that profit from the law regulation of the outer rim to grow his out of fashion sideburns. He is a Gaunt fanboy, because Gaunt don't use his TIE like canon fodder, which give him better chance to survive any battle and his biggest fear is some fighter landing a lucky hit on the bridge. He has a crush on the TIE bomber pilot (but she don't realise it). He ask to much question in briefing, despise A-wing (because they keep blowing his ass in the simulator) and has 20 confirmed kill. The TIE bomber pilot is flight lieutenant Ada. She is generally laid back, but she is a total bomber craft nutjob (she even has bomber miniatures in her room). If someone talk shit about the TIE bomber, she'll go full berserk. She is also the only known bomber pilot to fly her bomber like if it was an agile interceptor. She got her scar by hurting herself opening a closet, but keep it and pretend it was during a skirmish against 12 x-wings. She keep pushing for having custom stuff on her bomber and, with Neel's antics, she is basically the nightmare of the flight boss. Also, someone keep sending her chocolate boxes (Neel). The TIE interceptor pilot is wing commander Rosh. He was a merc before joing the imperial navy. He is probably the best pilot on the fleet, but he generally prefer to keep his tought for himself. People are constantly asking him for tips, but he just give very basic stuff like "don't get shot". He is the dude that got the most fruit from Gaunt and people don't seem to memorize his name That's from the official character chart from the vid.

Very true but it's also worth noting this took four years to make and it must have been hard on him because he so far hasn't made another. This is a fantastic video and I've watched it multiple times but still, four years for seven minutes of content isn't exactly what you'd call efficient.

The Rebellion only won battles in the films because they have plot armor and dumb luck. Also, A-Wings and B-Wings were not a part of the Rebellion's arsenal until after this battle.

gotta scrap the intercteptor and tie bomber then too... its true, this was way too one sided, still great though! just wished for star wars music not this funky stuff i was hearing

Marcel Worschech Nope. Tie Interceptors were probably already in development when the Death Star was destroyed.

To be fair the Rebel group looked out numbered, tired and already damaged.

All that whining won't make the ANIMATION ITSELF inaccurate. Second, your another commentor here complaining that the rebels "should have had A and B wing fighters" yeah no. The Rebels had what the rebels had. Either this was early in the rebellion or these poor saps simply did not have those fighters on hand - hell for all we know they were on their way to GET SAID FIGHTERS at a rally location, while unloading whatever was in those transports. Also, whatever reason rebel pilots were superior on average is irrelevant here - for all you know all these pilots were the freshest bunch they had, and the TIE pilots were a squadron of ace-pilots - you do know the Empire had several of those, right? TIE's die easily, those who don't live longer to see more battles, and perhaps learn a thing or two, and those that do eventually get to pilot Interceptors because those are better fighters - hell top-aces in the Empire got to fly Defenders, a craft that was superior to nearly everything the rebels had. Lucky for them those were rare, and I may as well mention, were not in this battle, likely for the same reason the A and B wings were not. With all of that said: Enjoy it for what it is; fan-made animation, and legendary quality animation at that, given the 1-man development. It does not always have to be yet another victory for the rebels.

***** That's better!

Even the old canon followed this. After the Empire lost and was scattered; They were still a threat because of Thrawn who adapted and perfected the Rebel's hit and run startegy, he would've conquered the Galaxy again. The new canon just doesn't have this sense of danger for the Resistance, eventhough they are supposedly outnumbered, they crack jokes, and even trashes the New Order in space battles. Not to mention the New Order seems way too incompetent.

@@boxtupos7718 I fully agree. The First Order is supposedly a major remnant faction of the Empire. They should be comprised of some of the most loyal and experienced soldiers, pilots, and commanders from the Empire. On the flipside, the resistance should be made up of people who respect and understand that the Empire was no joke to contend with, nor should any splinter group. Instead the new trilogy is a bunch of goofballs and idiots who play around like it's all one big party (right up until someone important to the movie canon dies). It's a stupid mess. Even after the First Order unleashes their super weapon and blows up half a dozen major rebel/resistance/republic/whatever plants, it's still treated like a silly saturday morning cartoon romp. The 'bad guys' are fighting like they're standing for something. Meanwhile the new rebels are fighting like it's a temp job. Like it's no big deal. When Luke and rebel squadron were launching against the Death Star, that was heavy shit. They were way out gunned, and way out numbered. It was almost by sheer luck that they won. Now all the main characters treat the whole thing like it's a fucking game. You get short cuts of nameless mooks behaving like it's the dawn of D-Day, but everyone important is all lackadaisical and playing around. They flail their arms and shout like they're on a roller-coaster. It's fucking stupid. And of course the execs of Disney expect you to love it as much as the OT was.

@@buttlord2223 The thing that pisses me off the most is the loss of the basics of physics. The ship running out of fuel will not really work, since they are in space, the ship will not lose its momentum because there is nothing stopping it. So it'll become an endless chase. And the bigger ship, with the bigger thruster should move faster, because although there is mass, there is no weight or any other force going against the bigger ship, there is no drag. Aaahhh.... pisses me off

@@boxtupos7718 I typed out a big giant essay on why physics shouldn't be a major concern and youtube fucked it up. Basically large scale battles in SW are WW2 battles. Space combat is naval combat, with star destroyers and death stars being battleships and aircraft carriers. X and Y wings are fighters and torpedo bombers. AT-ATs are tanks. Hoth is probably some battle straight out of WW2, but the attack on the first Death Star is definitely the battle of midway. basically my point was that physics and real world science take a back seat to the theatrics and storytelling of a battle. It's why that stupid admiral lady's hyperspace ram is so fucking garbage - she uses semi believable real world physics and knowledge to obliterate an entire fleet, and also make every single battle prior completely pointless.

@@buttlord2223 Oh that's ok, but they treat it as the ship will stop in the vacuum of space because it runs out of fuel and will suddenly lose all its momentum just because(?) It's so dumb, that I can't just unsee it. Even in a fictional setting, specially a Sci-fi setting, the vacuum of space is still pretty much going to be that a vacuum. Not to mention it's so basic, that it stands out. And as you mentioned they've used FTL travel as an offensive attack; Which is stupid because in Star Wars going to Lightspeed just sends you to Hyperspace. So they manage to ignore basic physics and lore. Now if rewatch the other movies, I can't help but think, just do a lightspeed bombardment. Create weapons with lightspeed technology.

I think it was 5 combat missions survived in a TIE/LN and you had the chance to fly a TIE/IN =)

once you get past the Clone Wars part, the real Battlefront 2's campaign *is* like this the whole time.

Youmu Konpaku Nah, it’s not. You play as empire for few starting points and then you desert and side with rebels

I don’t blame them because how are you going to make an ending.Just kill them off I guess

@@Allandeverythingphotos Actually a really dramatic last stand against the rebel alliance would work really well for an ending

"Objective Updated: Kill more rebel scum." hm... YEAH sounds good!

Uh not all frigates of that type are for medical.

Uhm... This is good but, Astartes...

@Egg T ? Astartes was homegrown and Better. Not to take anything out of this as this is older.

I can highly disagree with you on that one

6 years later

You don’t get out much... Just as an example, How can you compare that with this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtVihrCfzJrZYZ8.html

Yeh

One speechless female tie bomber pilot has more character development than rey in the whole sequel trilogy, go figure.

Someone needs to tell Movie producers this, because literally mary sues need to DIEEEE ._.

"I'll try spinning.... In a TIE bomber with the maneuverability of a Bantha... Yeah, that's a good trick." Suddenly she's more badass than a girl who grew up under adverse conditions, struggling to survive, and discovered that she has the Force on her side and figures out things to do with it? Yeah, I don't think so. If Rey's character were male, you lout would have nothing to say.

@@BlackEpyon And here we have a specimen of the people who link any criticism of their beloved characters directly to sexism without consideration of any other possibilities.

A lot of this is referencing to the various games. The Interdictor's missile-scrambling party trick coming from the Empire at War strategy games. Meanwhile the heads-up-displays, cockpit layouts, and that PTSD-inducing missile warning come from the TIE-Fighter/X-Wing sims.

Is that the star destroyer with boobs?

So was the Itano Circus.

​@@tanall5959This 80s star wars anime is far better than all 3 recent star wars movies combined 😂😂😂😂

@@mingyuhuang8944 (80s style) this animation is relatively recent.

This would happen to Luke if that happened 3:02

Did no one else read the official books of the movies? This is stated to what happened to several of the groups that fled hoth

This is how it would've gone down if they removed the plot armor

No clue who Thrawn is.

@@wh3nderson95 he's a blue dude with red eyes that was an absolute military genius in legends, recently brought back into canon by the rebels series.

+Brandon Trollsten LOL

+Brandon Trollsten I DOUBLE THIS MAN. ANY ANIMATING COMPANY IS STUPID NOT TO HIRE THIS GUY. HEY BRANDON TROLLSTEN DO YOU HAVE STUCK CAPS LOCK ME? no? ok...

+Stan the Man I couldn't agree more

Only thing that can top this is a Millennium Falcon animation, This is still fucking amazing/badass. A true feat of what one man can do.

+Brandon Trollsten 100 with you man, lol, can't agree more

Ditto

It's too good for Disney to put it into a series. Out of their league creatively.

I bet Dave Filoni would be all on board for it.

@@rc59191 my boy filoni dosent get enough credit

Are you gonna pay him? If you want 1 guy to do this, it's gonna take up all his time. He needs to eat, pay for housing and other bills.

Tbf, Grey and the lady who's parents were senators were pretty chill, the rest were just... yikes

@@bobsempletank5362 I thought Cyborg Man was kinda cool.

What’s wrong with Shen?

@@bobsempletank5362 Fair. Though at this point, after everything the Empire had done, it probably would just be the nutjobs and fanatics that hadn't deserted by that point.

@@curtisharvey2330 that guy is favorite character from the empire.

Thankfully Disney hasn't pulled a GW with this one!

@Acroselorator I'd say Disney is too greedy to pull a GW. Funny huh, even corporate greed has an upside.

not exactly. I wish we had an aastartes of star wars but this is tight

I think Astartes is more the TIE Fighter of 40k since this short came out before Astartes if my memory serves. Unfortunately, with the original Astartes uploads being taken down, I cannot verify this.

@@clydemarshall8095yep 100%

Disney will probably go after ALL star wars related videos to make it look like they didn't single out one guy.

That was a mistake. They have removed their claim. The guy had asked lucasfilms for permission. CBS has a tight reign on star trek fanfilms though. The conditions they imposed are ridiculous.

@@drmayeda1930 Dude, Star Trek would be so awesome in fan made hands. Anaxar is all we got.

You know it wasn't Disney . It was Warner Chappell and I think over the music . Disney and lucasfilm are the ones that put a stop to it .

Yeah he got it back

Macross Plus. Go, now

***** You can't compare macross plus with anything else... Like, the entire series is a fucking reference to the F-22/F-23 ATF contract clash with a little bit of ghost in the Shell thrown in for good measure. Excluding The end of evangelion, that's as good as it gets

This is the pre CGI style of anime. Tedious work, but when it done well it's amazing. I would have lost my shit had I seen something like this in the 80s.

Some good ol'classic gundam

D.Talpha Ah yes please. Ms team is the closest they got to this artstyle if I'm not mistaken
