Corellian Boss: how many do we have?

@@marcosbravo9645 "Probably still not enough sir"

"Do we need that many?" "Redundancy, sir." "But nine of them, really?" "They're also cheap." "Approved."

Corellian engineer: "How many engines do you want?" Corellian boss: "Most of them. Leave a few for the others."

"How many drives did you use?" "All of them." "I told you to use more than that!"

"I think this ship needs more engines"

Blockade runner.... Need to deliver that moonshine..

Corellians are the Star Wars version of Kerbals. MOAR BOOSTERS!!! :D

Obviously the Kerbal approach works, since Corellian ships are considered some of the best built ones around!

"Captain! I'm giving it all she's got!" "Then add more engines!"

uh nope

Well rooting for it didn't help …

ironically... originally the Imperial destroyer was to be actually smaller than the rebel ship it was pursuing.. wich would match our classic definition of the term "destroyer" (a smaller , faster and well armed ship that trades mass and armour for speed while keeping a more than decent firepower to take on bigger ships).. there are arround the blueprints of the original star destroyer and you can see its much much smaller than the final.. George Lucas upscaled the destroyer (and probably downscalled the corvette some) because he wanted the audience to get clear in that opening shot the uneven war the rebellion was having against the Empire.. it shows in a single shot the desperate situation the alliance was and the might of the GE

@@sparrowlt Absolutely! So much is revealed to the audience with that one shot, and it immediately throws us into this universe. I can't think of a more effective approach to immerse the audience into your story.

It's an iconic ship

If I recall correctly, It was originally going to be the 'Hero Ship', with the Falcon's cockpit instead of the dual bucket head.

@@irradiatedslagheap7933 You do recall correctly. In the configuration you described, that ship was supposed to be the Millennium Falcon, but because it looked a bit too similar to the Eagle Transporters from Space: 1999 (not to mention the name of Falcon), the design had to be altered and repurposed as Princess Leia's consular ship. The design you described which was meant to be the Millennium Falcon got redesignated as a Corellian Gunship (a Legends ship now).

and yet if those gunners just blasted that escape pod.....

Second officer: Shouldn't we broadcast this to the other ships, in case we get caught? Hell I could upload it to _scoundrel bay_ or _wikiDroid._

*Sigh* The entire Scene was terrible. The Entire Sequence was terrible. The ending of the Battle of Scariff counters the information we received in Episode IV. "It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the Death Star, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy..." The battle wasn't a victory. By my count, only 6 fighters, 3 blockade runners, and a ramship (which is never shown anywhere else) escape. Even more concerning, the Rebel fleet didn't try to Flee or Fight the Star Destroyer, they just sat there and got destroyed. Next, the Imperial's "intercepted transmissions" which lead them to Tantive IV. All we see is Fan Service as Darth Vader wrecks Admiral Raddus' ship. Just to see Tantive IV escape. Okay, why is Tantive IV there? It's a consular ship with diplomatic immunity. Why would the captain risk being identified by imperial forces at a secure imperial facility which is under attack? Just because a Captain says "we never received any transmissions" nor do those transmissions appear in the log/data banks... doesn't mean the ship never received them. It just means the Captain took measures to remove all traces of them from his ship. This is currently possible to do. So, it is what happened. This is why Darth Vader threw him away. He knew he lied. If Disney wants to rewrite Star Wars History, they should have just said "nothing is canon". Making movies which contradict the OT is very bad.

While I am sorry about how you feel about Rogue One a Star Wars Story, I wish you had not used my comment as an excuse to vent you hatred.@@aralornwolf3140

@@ethenallen1388 , There was no hate.... Frustration yes. Sorry about that.

CEC Pilot: "Oh shit, a pebbl-"

Same

" This ship WAS going to be the Millennium Falcon! " - you're thinking of the CEC DP20, which didn't make the cut into the movie, but was featured in legends.

@@PetersaberHDNo, the model that was seen in Star Wars as the blockade runner was the original model for the Millennium Falcon. When Lucas decided to change the model they made some changes to the existing model and used it in the opening scene. Remember there was no CGI back then. Everything in, the original version of, Star Wars are kit bashed scale models.

@@PetersaberHD I've looked it up and it appears the CEC DP20 was developed from the initial "Falcon" design but evolved in a slightly different direction. (Probably to more easily fit in with the established canon of the time (Legends). ) But it IS closer to the original design than the Blockade Runner.

Ironically.. Valerian and Laureline fans today bitterly acuse Lucas to have copied their ship the XB982 because both are saucer shaped.. wich i personally doubt preciselly because Lucas had allready changed the design to avoid copy accusations

@Deutschland Mexiko If you mean raster graphics on an actual CRT then sure call it CGI.

I thought the rebelion got this in some fire sail when a company was going under.

@@miles2378 *fire sale Yeah, they did, when the company that manufactured them went bust. But thousands and thousands were sold to legitimate companies and space truckers before that happened.

Rpg source books clearly state there 150m long. And they were from the late 80's.

@@matthewburroughs9597 i know that, im just saying no one SEEMS to know, because the sizes always seem drastically different

The crashed CR90 on Jakku in Battlefront 1 in much bigger than the Falcon

@@unclearsector4266 it allways was 150m.. in Rebels they show very well at 150m wich is about 12 times the lengh of an X-Wing.. wookiepedia incorrectly listed them at 126m for a while but that was a confussion with the CR70..

The Gunship variant is 120m if I remember. Anti -star fighter platform, able to screen other ships. Man the RP G source books were good.

Imperials.

I know its not something that would be expected to happen.

From what I've seen, the Gozantis basically have paper armor and shields. They will die even to a few hits from standard military-grade laser cannons

Yup. And at the battle of Atollon you saw Nebulon-B's getting taken down by just a few TIE rounds. And when Hera attacked Lothal, a TIE Defender literally just pops apart when shot by an X-Wing rather than being blown to pieces. And when Hera went to Concord Dawn, other A-Wings are one shot by the Mando fighters while hers can somehow take at least 10 and still manage to hyperspace away. Pretty much all combat in Rebels made no sense.

@@joechace8214 the only ship destruction that made sense was at 1:48. The second TIE Bomber was able to hit the segment where both the reactor and shield generator are located. In a New Hope, the reactor of the Tantive IV is shut down before it can tear apart the ship, but that CR90 in the Battle of Attolon was not so lucky

@@joechace8214 I agree, it does not make sense. I did not activly watched the series, but some parts of it on KZfaq. I remember one scene where Hera was flying an X-Wing and some Imperial Pilot was following her in a TIE Defender. They both fly in the direction of Thrawns flagship, and Thrawn gives the order to open fire. Then, both fighters are hit by the really heavy Turbolasers positioned at the side of an Imperial Star Destroyer. And they only loose their shields. Like WTF??? Those gun turrets on the ISD are like 50m in Diameter and belong to the heaviest and deadliest weapons ever put on a spaceship, and when they hit a fighter the fighter losses its shields but is undamaged? I lost it at that point. Its bullshit.

According to this one guy, EC Henry's headcannon, that would be the CR110, a bigger but less maneuverable iteration of the Correllian Corvette line.

Galactic Battlegrounds? Force Commander?

@@PetersaberHD Which one has the the Rebel hero ship being the YT freighter with the center mounted cockpit? Because it's that one.

The whole adventure of the Night Caller was amazing, from the moment the Wraiths captured her through her 1 on 1 duel against an ISD.

@@VegetaLF7 she definitely was my favorite of the class

What source book?

Pretty sure Bandai made a really nice one.

Liam Kleronomos I’ve only ever seen small resin kits, metal gaming miniatures and the plastic fully painted model from the Armada game. Bandai never made one, however it’s possible their upcoming Star Destroyer could have one. I doubt it as it’s an Imperial II, and the Devastator was an Imperial I.

that was a quite modified CR90 tough.. that thing was esentially a flying hangar

@@sparrowlt but still possible

@@paulrasmussen8953 yes.. if you can use a 65m transport to carry 4 fighters arround.. Also there was another CR90 carrier variant.. in the old SEGA 32X star wars game you took off from a CR90 wich had a hangar in where the docking rings are...

In Rebels we see that a corvette can carry up to 3 fighters externally in the docking ports.. we also see shuttles docked to those so its fairly to asume it can carry at least 3 U-Wings.. if you mod 2 more ports in the front area of the main body where the escape pods are you can add 2 more easily

sparrowJLT true, but the book implies that the docking bay is at the bottom of the craft, like the docking bay on a cr 70 corvette.

@@rebelappliance771 well its a mess ... Rebels clearly had the fighters being externally carried in the docking rings with up to 3.. Resistance shows a CR90 from the Rebels era and it has the ventral bay

@@Kuoted Always gets me... ALWAYS.

I think the imps destroyed it in a staged asteroid accident and claimed all hands were lost Can't remember where I read that, probably a "legends" thing

Make this the top comment, people!

More Legends ships on this channel would be cool.

It's called differential thrust.

The empire used its larger TIE Fighter as anti-fighter screen..they even had Gozanti transports carrying 4 TIEs to escort smaller ships.. When that proved ineffective they fielded a dedicated antifighter ship..the Lanzer class frigate (wich is canon BTW.. aparently the first order is still using them)
