EckhartsLadder was there ever an ugly capital ship (two ships, usually from different factions e.g. y-wing with tie cockpit, merged together)?

random guy how could he not he's a star wars fan

random guy you are learning well my apprentice

random guy ehh its fine, we all ask stupid questions, I could've pointed it out nicer, and not like an arseholr

Yay! A video I (sort of) asked for! Thanks!

It is a pretty good backstory

That was pretty Wizard.

Robot chicken and lego star wars are the only real canon fans can agree on

@@videos8159 And Legends

​@videos8159 Yeah, apparently so 😅 though I've never seen the Robot Chicken version

IceBear5426 The emperor is not all ruling. A lot of decisions are made in the senate. Palatine just removed this altogether and became a dictator that had a few close military Grand Moffs that did his bidding.

Stefan Holmqvist you'll pay the price for your lack of vision, he IS the Senate

meme123 if he was the senate why did he want to dissolve it then? :)

*enlightenment*

If you look at it that way then Vader was the one who dissolved the senate in ROJ

That'd be ironic

Now i know why most people hate on Lucas showing the truth in Star Wars.. they are part of the cult who want the Republic to fall and the Tyrant to rise.. And they are afraid of the warning signs! 🍷 🕶

Merlin served Arthur... or did he serve the dragon?...

​@@seanhewitt603 Well, that's also cause Arthur was Nobility, just saying 😅 and had the fancy, prophetic power

Captain Cutter stop with this sand madness.

sir are you ok you seem to have a sand obsession?

Nice to see you still aren't that Anime weeb bullshit "Captain Fosou" or some shit and are now Captain Cutter instead

So we have Captain Cutter, an ODST and Darth Vader in one conversation... How will it end?

Sam BA It should have been a bar joke :p

honestly in a lot of ways that makes sense.

No it was like that back then lol You weren't alone

"Good evening ignorant pigs!"

You made a joke and then ruined it by telling us the reference... Gtfo

Palpatine: "I am not a crook. I have worked hard for everything I have earned."

"Put down your crack pipes and your beer bongs"

"I'll sneak into their houses at night and wreck UP ThE PLaCe."

Palpatine ended up being even more like Hitler in space than he originally was. A chancellor who establishes a dictatorship? It's just like Hitler.

I read "The Star Wars". It was cool.

Have you ever seen Lucus film "T.H.X 1138" ? Made before star wars episode 4. Old movie. I believe it is linked to star wars. Takes place on Earth. In the starwars universe wonder where all humans come from living in a galaxy of aliens. Originally humans came from earth. Well in Thx 1138 robots officially robots were using humans to mind control and build an army. The humans were taken from above . This army they built i believe was the creation of an army, " The Empire" just my thoughts on your note. All of star wars trilogy starts with films are thx surround sounds! And, 1138 is mentioned in star wars 4. 1138 is the princesses prison room. There is evidence earth is a part of the star wars universe.

Have you.. seen ANY Emperor of ALL history? Lavish golden robes is EXACTLY what an emperor would wear

Lord Dim 1 I was making a reference to the idea being reused for Snoke after the idea was dropped by Lucas ;)

I know, imagine an arrogant authoritarian surrounding himself with gold. Preposterous.

@347Jimmy I thought the exact same thing.

Yeah, I mean I bet if he did wear a gold robe he would immediately die after being hyped up

So true. I heard a rumor his original back story was too dark for kids so they had to scrap it.

Yes, Jar Jar was originally supposed to be Darth Plagueis, but he wound up being too polarizing of a character for this to work.

Credits, guns, legal and illegal goods, "other services" and "favors" ( if you catch my drift)

Medieval Guy , Boba Fett would always steal bounties from Bossk. He almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

lawyers guns and money

55i I heard the day he was shot was actually Greedos first day

55i depends on the bounty

Tom Barnes wouldn't have worked. Vader makes people visibly afraid with his mere presence regardless of rank and yet he bows down to a simple politician? Unless the theme of Vaders subservience to the Emperor was done away with and kept with as being merely someone useful to keep government in line. Of course then he couldn't be used as a real threat

Because the mere simple politician was a Sith Lord who was even more powerful and arcane in the darkside than Vader himself. Which was the whole point of the Emperor being somewhat more of a "Druid" in his appearance in ROTJ. It hearkens back to our own stories of evil sorcerers and magicians who knew of dark and mysterious powers in legends, ancient mythological and mythology of mankind! Vader's subservience to the Emperor spells out exactly just how dangerous and powerful the Emperor is in his own right! Vader was always meant to represent the dangerous and powerful; Black Knight. But the Emperor? Is his boss nuff said really. Lethal as the "Black Knight" is in medieval mythology, even he answers to somebody else in the hierarchy of those old legends. Same can be said of the Sith Lords in the Star Wars canon as well! Darth Vader's a footsoldier not the overlord who rules, but seeks to one day rule himself perhaps!

gargoyles9999 I never said the Emperor shouldn't have been force sensitive. I was merely stating that if they portrayed Palpatine as a character who was trying to do the right thing, that could be trusted but is being manipulated by a false shadow council would have gained sympathy from the audience along with Anakin.

But who's the real villain there then? "A false shadow council" isn't a physical body or person but a group of unknowns??! This is probably why it was best to have Palpatine as the shadowy villain in the prequels who is the main villain, who is a; master manipulator of the events that unfolded in the prequels! A shadow council wouldn't have worked out in the long run i think, given how the OT already existed and spoke of Palpatine's somewhat in the SW novels.

The revelation of Palpatine being Sidious, and Sidious becoming the Emperor actually blew me away.

It was all fun and games until the theory about the rebels being space terrorists and the galactic empire being the good guys. It just had to ruin it.

Yeah, Empire Strikes Back came out I was really hoping to hear the back story of Anakin Skywalker apart from being Darth Vader. That story would have worked for me very well too

I have a similar idea. and I think it makes Palpatine even more sinister. In A New Hope, the government is reminiscent of much of feudal japan: the head of state is technically the emperor, but everyone knows that the shogun is one who actually runs the country. In my mind Tarquin is the head of a military junta that does all the work, and the emperor is a political figurehead. Palpatine's greatest obstacle in seizing power is not the rebels, but these military and industrial leaders. But, he can predict the future, and to an extent control the future. Palpatine, encouraged Tarquin to take risks, knowing that the rebels could destroy the station. And when the first death start is destroyed, so is the Grand Moff, the commercial interests that built the station bankrupt, the military officers humiliated. This creates a vacuum, where Palpatine appoints his own officers, especially Vader, to positions of prominance, and Vader, unlike the earlier Moffs get results--and they get the results not from scientific means, but through spiritual forces. By Return of the Jedi, the empire has transformed almost to the point of a theocracy. Decisions used to be made by boring old men in stiff uniforms, now they are being made by cult like mystics in robes. The emperor now has his own death start, not just a station but a new palace, a new capital. And in the final battle he orders his admirals, the only people in the empire who could rival him, to just watch and prevent the rebels from escaping while he, personally, destroys them from his thrown. and it would have worked too. But Luke did something he never could have predicted.

@@Jessymandias I loved this

Tarkin was so badass, talking down to Vader as if he was a regular thug.

It's hard to argue that now. Snoke always bothered me for the same reason the good guys being 'the Resistance' did, because it was a no-effort copy-paste, but I thought, maybe Snoke will be cool. Then nope. As it stands, he literally almost doesn't have a character whatsoever. It's more like he's a force of nature, or rather, a narrative device with no in-character bones beyond 'me big, me bad, me yell at kylo'.

I think we were all under the impression that the trilogy was basically mapped out (not entire scripts, but the general storylines). It's sad when there's a dozen Snoke theories on KZfaq that are far more engaging than what actually happened (ie nothing). From being a Palpatine clone, Plagueis reborn, or Mace Windu... My theory (jokingly) was that he was Jar Jar Binks... He did grant Palpatine executive powers to create an army...

The biggest problem with the new trilogy is that they kinda make one movie at a time. They didnt really plan the trilogy

Nah I think Abrams probably had something maped out but he made the stupid mistake of letting Johnson right episode 8

But we never get the backstory of characters in the movies.

Ki-Adi Mundi is allowed to have a wife and children because of the incredibly low birth rate on his planet among his species.

Exactly, and I feel like there are other similar cases of exceptions throughout legends and I'm quite curious about it

Jolee Bindo (KOTOR) describes why the "anti-love" philosophy was flawed

Also Corran Horn's grandfather.

Quinlan Vos fell in love with Assaj Ventress allbeit he was dabbling in the Darkside at the time. And like Anakin there may have been Jedi whom had love but never told the Jedi Order. Obi Wan and Satine , Ahsoka and Lux... Come to think of it Yoda and Yaddles species were rare,, Yoda going 900yrs without even a one nighter... Jheez

Javier Pullido Is there a specific era we have to focus on?

It's probably from all of Fiction/Non-Fiction

Do you know what the outro song is?

Hes gotten much better about that since then

Creamy sheev just wants to be a young girl

Clash Gamer a few 1,000,000 started out and grew over time.

BGOTTI CATALDO I mean the Fleet like how many Venators and light cruisers did they have? How many Star Fighters? That is what I meant

Clash Gamer good one I don't think they ever say. But after Palpatine takes over the Galactic Senate he has full resources of those planets and there ships so idk if say a few 1000 ships and a few 1'000,000 storm strupers after his Empire fell what was left went into hiding eventually formed a new order under leader smoke.

BGOTTI CATALDO The Clone Army had about 6 million clones and if I would guess the numbers of their Venators I would guess maybe 1000 but the Empire on the other hand almost had unlimited resources they had about 25000 star destroyers and trillions of stormtroopers

BGOTTI CATALDO That is a good guess I am not sure of the size of the fleet of the first order but I am not sure that they had 1000 cause they have really powerful cruisers 3 first order Star Destroyers had almost as much fire power as the imperial executor class super star destroyer

How is watchmens depiction of Nixon even close to sheev?

The "Jedi assassination attempt" worked too.

It was quite smart how Palps blamed the Jedi for the war as a whole. Having an ex-Jedi lead the separatists was a stroke of genius.

That could be hard, the problem is that we actually don't know how actually big the combine empire is, they also have conquered multiple worlds across many universes, and is implied that those do actually have different physics laws, and if you have seen the epistle 3 thing, they also have atleast a dyson sphere, but they do lack they ability to go to one part of the universe to the other... so they probably lack hyperspace, but if they manage to get a single ship with a hyperspace drive...

TheBlackSunKing When I say combine, I mean from what we see in the half life series.

Well, for what we see in the half life series is like trying to put an outpost against an entire galaxy, the galactic empire would win in that situation... but if you put the entire universal union (with what we see and what we can only speculate) against the galactic empire, it could go either way...

@@DrewPicklesTheDark Why does it have to blow up? The Rebels capture the planet and Vader kills the Emperor. War won.

I am Basegod lol

Fletcher .K I don't think that the problem was that there were political messages in The Last Jedi; the problem was that there were unnecessary heavy handed political messages that were poorly integrated into the story.

Highlandus there's no difference. Lucas was super clear about the Empire's roots in Nixonian America, and the latter two prequels are a couple of the most overt reactions to the Bush era to come out of mid-2000's movies (and especially blockbusters). In fact, aside from the class stuff on Canto Bight (which is great by the way) I'd venture to say VII AND VIII were the least political Star Wars movies in decades.

@AndRiseUp least political /=/ good movies

SethxGeekdom1namek01yardrat true, but I still think The Last Jedi is the best since Empire

I genuinely enjoy Phantom Menace more than the Last Jedi. I watched The Last Jedi once and never want to see it again where as I saw Phantom Menace in theaters and at least once every few years since release. Because it has one of the best original Star Wars scores (Duel of Fates) coupled with the best lightsaber duel of the series. Last Jedi had none, Luke shows up with a lightsaber as a hologram than dies of exhaustion....

ODST Alpha-417 gonna have to give it to the Forerunners.

I wanted to see the replicators from Star Gate Atlantis vs. The empire

The Flood is gonna destroy 40K, their space travel when they get to keymind stage is basically gonna win it for them. The only faction that can't get rid of is Chaos, like over 90 percent of Necrons are still sleep. To get into the webway all they need is own Eldar who knows, and that Eldar can just be dead to and it would work. And the Tyranids are to slow to anything.

The flood by themselves Would absolutly destroy The 40k universe. No chance for The 40k Milkyway

Lord Anubis the flood by themselves would pose a serious threat to the 40K Galaxy especially when it's not United, given the fact that the 40K Galaxy is large and the main power house the Imperium of man has a very slow reaction time by the time they react it would be too late most likely the only race that could really put up a good fight is the necrons

Not only that but it's end game flood to. Which means Keyminds who has far greater psychic power than anybody in the 40k galaxy besides the Emperor, perhaps Logar, Magnus, some phoenix lords, Ahriman, Dante, some Farseers, Some random alpha psychics and Eldrad will be everywhere. I missed a few others but it would be like 25 super strong psychics with one great one aka the emperor vs 100,000 super strong psychics aka around how many key minds it would be. And that's even if the 40k team is even united. Hell, the Gravemind with its psychic abilities was able to talk Chief with zero problems across the entire Galaxy in Halo 3. and that Gravemind is nothing to a Keymind.

Sergente A , that's one massive fleet.

*OFFICIAL* L2 ENGLISH

Galactic Empire would win. The Starforge is an unlimited resource for vehicles and weapons, but Revan's Empire simply does not have the manpower, not to mention the Death Stars.

Kyle Lambert im not so sure manpower would matter, i remember the starforge spitting out droids and we have seen droid armies man ships and vehicles. this coupled with revens tactical and strategic genius would mean the empire would be in for a hell of a fight.

@@spiffygonzales5160 i do agree vader would win that fight...assuming they can find the star forge, but im not so convinced on the empire having much of a tech edge given these ships are ancient rakatan and the modern galaxy still struggles to do what they did. I do however think you are underestimating how much material the forge put out. It was enough to challenge a militarized republic and jedi order before the degradation that palps used set it.

@@spiffygonzales5160 ok im sold. While i think very little of tarkin, zjinj and palps abilities as military leaders i see thrawn as a match to reven. Him leading the vast empire fleets would likely be enough.

Kenneth Kates The Venator has better technology

CC-2224 Commander Cody ye bc they have bullets not blasters, which lightsabers wouldnt deflect back to the marine, only vaporize it. And traditional guns have a higher rate of fire than the 501st rifles, meaning less reaction time for a Jedi to counter the bullets. This also means the Jedi would have to take the offensive to kill a marine.

Idk man, some blasters fire pretyy fast

Buster Call he won through the electoral college, not the popular vote

more parallels with the Fall of the Roman Republic. I don't like Trump, but I roll my eyes at all the melodrama about him being the death of democracy. Just as I rolled my eyes at the people convinced Obama would somehow declare himself president for a third term and take our guns.

@Mike the guy While the term Constitutional Republic is not inaccurate a description to apply to the United States, the term "Representational Democracy" also an accurate description. And until Trump wins the popular vote, neither he nor you get to decide what is best for us because you say so, or "get over it", as you succinctly put it. And considering that there are issues that are important to me that Donald doesn't give a shit about, I have no intention whatsoever of "getting over it".

Nixon supported fascists in the Third World, ignored Congress, launched his authoritarian War on Drugs, and his bombing of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia is genocidal to a point it would make Hitler blush. Guy was definitely fascistic.

Quq Balam you may want to walk it back there dude. Nixon was not worse than Hitler. Nixon’s body count in terms of bombings in Vietnam isn’t even a fraction of Hitler’s body count. It’s just absurd to think otherwise. And I can assure you that the US was in no danger of becoming a fascist nation. The greatest expansion of federal power in US history occurred under FDR after he passed the New Deal (which was unconstitutional) and placed Japanese Americans in interment camps. I’d argue that democrat presidents from FDR all the way until Reagan were responsible for expanding the government’s power. This period of time was called Post War Liberalism. FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ, Eisenhower, Ford, Nixon, and Carter all expanded entitlements, bureaucracy, and the size of the federal government. LBJ declared a war on poverty, spent over 20 trillion to fight it and very few people were actually lifted out of poverty. It wasn’t until Reagan when America started to deregulate and begin an effort to remove government from people’s lives.

Hitler rome and England anyone who thinks its based off Hitler is a libtard
