Lmao

And the protagonist just suffered basilar skull fracture from that.

I’m pretty sure it is

I thought she was in episode 9 too in that one board meeting with Kylo Ren?

Sloane was featured in an episode of Rebels

@William Jackson Ah interesting, thanks for the info.

for someone that's been given a lot attention, she sure doesn't show up in movies, shows, or video games. at least in Legends, Thrawn was given a few appearances in games.

Specisism

Unfortunately that's one of the main criticisms I've heard about this game: the single player campaign. It works well as a tutorial for learning the basics for multiplayer; however, story-wise it falls flat and shallow. Your squadron mates will throw in random bits of individual backstory in a seeming attempt to providing some depth; unfortunately, the comments have almost zero relation to whats going on, and add little to the story.

Funny how that is James Arnold Taylor. AKA Obi Wan Kenobi

Travis Illerbrun Kenobi Is A Reptilian Shapeshifter Then 🤣

@@Klaaism Yeah, but this seems like a pretty casual release to begin with. I don't think they were planning on making some epic Fallen Order-esque story. Just something light.

all without dieing to the empire

So did she fight on mimban then

Am I the only one who thinks she’s named after the real life actor and commander gunny

Well, I guess she did fight on mimban

@@theskullboy8700 "Gunny" is the shorthand way of saying the Marine Corps rank "Gunnery Sergeant." The only actor Gunny I can think of is R. Lee Ermey, who was previously in the Marine Corps, and who became famous as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. While he was in the Marines, Ermey didn't actually achieve the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, but in 2002, he received an honorary promotion to the rank in recognition of his positive representation of the Corps.

LET us begin corrupting each world.

he doesn't sound like Tyber's VA

"The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase: "EVERYONE HAS A PRICE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

“We’re in an assault tank, not a boat!”

That's totally the same voice actor, Tom Kane.

He also plays Obi Wan Kenobi

You are right, such a waste

Idk what you expected. The NR rules for 30 years until the first order shows up.

@@granalmirantethrawn2972 yep

They have to keep it canon so they had to pick rebellion

Just so the imperial pilot dies to the nr fleet and the rebel pilots death gets wasted sounds lame.

As a fellow Vet of Thrawns Campaign, I feel ya bud. There will never be anything as good as TIE95 with the expansion pack.

I'm also disappointed that they didn't burrow the fighter slang from the X-Wing series because this is the perfect place to be calling out a flight of dupes being covered by half a squadron of eyeballs.

@@GoldPicard For me it was the lack of the Tie Advanced/Avenger. I can get not using the Tie Defender or the Missile boat since those bad boys were OP as fuck, but the Avenger was in the process of becoming mainline and since this is AFTER the war you'd think they'd pull out all the stops.

@@adamsteele23 The Avenger was rare in the midst of the TIE Fighter campaign, and all of its factories were destroyed, but I don't know what the situation is after that. Either way, I started writing to make sure you knew that nowadays you can hop in a Defender in all of the multiplayer modes. This was implemented a couple of months after your first comment.

I feel like there is an unspoken, unspecified, completely ignored upgrade to this particular squadron’s ties just for titan squadron…. Possibly by unknowingly copying the diy style of the rebels for upgrades all based from the home star destroyer - they do have garages and maintenance bays on those things … Minus that…. Would have been perhaps more tie fighter esk to instead upgrade the flimsy fighters with extreme jamming equipment to ruin rebel targeting - forcing rebels to try and get on tie tails to get a clean shot minimizing the chance even for potentially fatal glancing shots meanwhile if the tie pilots are smart, they would avoid head on passes and instead sprit around to rebel tails playing to the fast and loud style of the Tie

This is good enough most of the time they lost

Swtor, but I get where your coming from. Would be nice to have a game with 2020 graphics. Although, toying around with the graphics card and applying a shit ton of shaders is close to 2020 graphics.

You’ll probably be waiting for a long time then

The whole "Empire did nothing wrong" meme gets taken too seriously sometimes. "B-b-b-but what do you mean the Empire was a warmongering, slaving, tyranny? They're only presented as evil so that means they're really the good guys!"

@@harmlesshawk1794 For real. Most of the time, I can't even tell if people are joking or not, and even when they are, it's so overdone that it gets annoying.

Very well said

I agree that the Imperial pilots were well done, but I personally prefer the Rebels. Frisk was pretty fun to talk to, and I liked that Gunny is like the "Big Momma" of the squad. I also liked how Keo is force-sensitive, but she admits she's not at the level she could consider becoming a Jedi. They just seemed more lively than the Imperials to me. Personal preference, I guess.

Also, Havina seems to be an ancestor to Major Elrik Vonreg, who is a First Order tie fighter pilot that we see in Resistance. full circle!

@@quentinsilver4721 yep. Wonder if she's actually the mother of Elrik, or just a relative. Given that she said most of her brothers died above Brentaal IV, it could very well be the case.

I don't consider it better, the characters on both sides have some interesting backstories and different personalities, the difference is only how they treat you. Imperials are more like colleagues doing the job with passion, rebels are more like your friends on a mission.

yeah but we must play as good guys instead

@@momirmokizagradjanin7501 bummer

Thank you

That would have been very Ace Combat

Considering that it didn't come out until 1993 that is pretty impressive.

What, no Ace Azameen, too?

You been taking too much ketamine

Or grevious’s species, I always found it hard to believe that he was the only one that joined the empire

“As a Trandoshan, I’m happy to see my people get the positive representation they deserve! Not all of us are evil pirates & smugg-... I mean, not all of us are evil!” -Frisk’s actor, probably.

“The helmet stays on” no, he’s definitely a mandalorian, most likely part of the watch.

@@raklibra you know that greviouses species isn't damn cyborgs right? I know star wars is fantasy and all but how can you give birth to a damn cyborg?

At least is not the main character, I say that's a win lol

I got no issue with it

@@granalmirantethrawn2972 same and really creates some tension.

More Imperial defectors? (shakes my head). Also, notice the pilot clenching his fist, likely he's angry to see traitor got away. I would be angry too.

So what?

Agreed

were getting there at least this time we didn't switch sides, but I feel you, I think what everyone wants is a Star Wars Empire game, were the empire doesn't really look like the bad guys, I mean even with Titan squadron everyone felt like the antagonists.

@@JRDShamrock I personally didn't really see Titan Squadron as simply 'antagonists' or simply 'evil'. Grey is a disciplined and responsible leader of his team, as we also saw in the cinematic 'Hunted'. He is even friendly and a tiny bit witty when he welcomes Titan 3. Sol wants to see the Empire reestablish the Senate, so the Galaxy can have a more stable and competent political system - rather than Palpatine's "absolute rule". She's also a reliable squad mate along the whole campaign. So she's not just a regular Tie grunt, but a woman who fights in order to make the Empire better (from her perspective) Shen is the strong and quiet (or straightforward) warrior type, who never backs down from fighting on, even while his body barely hangs on through cybernetics. Vonreg on the other hand can be put into that box, but I think a lot of past events made her in to the vicious killer she is. For one she has felt personally betrayed by seeing even former friends leaving her to join the Rebellion, and she also lost most of her former squad mates during the battle of Endor. However, she will fight hard for and alongside her fellow Titans. But of course, I am not here to deny or defend the Imperials skewed ethics or their preference for authoritarian rule over the Galaxy. But I think it's good, to sometimes see a more nuanced view of the two warring factions in Star Wars, and that it isn't simply black and white. Many Imperials were mostly just regular people, who fought for the Empire because they believed it provided them with the best opportunities, security, order and prosperity. However, that's not meant to excuse evil acts, but to point out that not every Imperial was an evil cartoon villain. I will admit however, that I prefer the aesthetics of the Empire rather than the Rebels. But ultimately yes, give a proper Empire story that shows a more nuanced look, rather than another Iden Versio... A good story driven Thrawn game would be a + in my book.

I agree Though I wanted to spend all of my time with the Rebels and Vanguard Squadron instead of having to play those imperial missions as well....

@@JOSHCHIMICH Fair enough, as long as everyone is happy, then it doesn't matter to me if we have different preferences.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

welcome to Disney Star Wars.

I liked it. It showed that the Empire aren't always cold and emotionless

@@Random_Person.-. i think i prefer cold and emotionless over acting like 2 year olds who won't get their own way.

Famous last words

If you want to see actual victories for the bad guys I recommend you play the mmo Star Wars The Old Republic

@@arrowheadwaterbottle6815 Honestly? I’m severely tempted. I’m not one for mmo’s, not a big multiplayer guy, and I usually go good in decision making games, can’t help it. But Star Wars has managed to be so ridiculously one sided (least under the Disney brand) I could probably go full evil for the entire game and not feel bad about it.

@@Crossbones6732 It's a very great game! I highly recommend you check it out, the base game and it's first 2 dlcs are completely free! And the main story content is actually very single player focused. It's very much an RPG as well. In the beginning you get the choice of either playing as a member of the Sith Empire or Republic

Why? You want the people who casually murder innocents to win?

@@GeneralKenobi75 No. Many Star Wars fans just don’t want a one-sided story. The big picture will only ever be half if every single time, the Rebels win. There is no tension if that’s the case. There is no engagement or a sense of accomplishment if their journey and destination are already a surefire victory.

same

tip, there is no correct way up in space. think about it, you are on a planet and you pint to the sky and say that way is up, but go to space and you see the planet is round and floating around a sun. then any way could be up, down, left, right, forward, behind, or nothing at all

@@nickkozak4763 true but if i remember correctly, large star ships rarely roll so as long as theres something staying in one position the smaller fighters can tell if theyre flying upside down or not

Nick Kozak buddy, you have to understand that, people have OCD and when something isn’t the way that it’s supposed to be, we get stressed out or angry. This is one of them. I don’t like it when he’s literally upside down, and all of the other ships are right side up. That stressed me out

Well, technically you still can play as an imperial, the character you use in the game is loyal to the empire(unless he also defects, I haven't seen the full story yet but I hope that doesn't happen here too, We had enough with the Inferno squad)

Isn't half of the campaign literally from the Imperial perspective?

@@Cevaro2 fuck them

Just play KOTOR then. Also, kinda hard to justify fighting for the Empire when almost every single piece of media they're in shows them being hilariously evil, treacherous, murderous bastards. They're fundamentally a callous ideology. I don't think the majority of the audience would be cool with purging the Gungans, Genosians, etc. Only way they could really do that is with a evil greater than the Empire, but Disney scrapped all that stuff (Yuuzhan Vong).

@@florence9606 B-but muh Empire did nothing wrong!

@@florence9606 If I wanted to play KOTOR, Empire At War, Galactic Battlegrounds or TIE Fighter, I would have done so. So what if the Empire of Palpatine did horrible things? It's still annoying to be forced to join the good guys when you can play a f*ing Imperial pilot in Squadrons.

@@CABRALFAN27 Said no one except you.

I don't really get that. Does playing Prequel-era stuff feel pointless just because you know Palpatine wins?

@@CABRALFAN27 Rebels stay rebels. The New Republic and Luke's jedi is destroyed. Han goes back to being a smuggler. Luke's jedi is wiped out. Palpatine is back. Another evil Skywalker follows Vader's path. We get another desert planet hero who is the offspring of another sith lord who REALLY saves the day. Luke, Han, Leia, and Vader's actions in the OT accomplished nothing. They died failures for Rey to really be the hero instead of giving Rey her own victories, they undid Luke and Anakin's to give to her. Prequels were setting up the OT. OT was about how the rebels beat the empire and defeated the emperor... until we learned literally nothing changed. They're just another failed generation who pissed their victory away. It completely ruins these movies and the franchise for me.

MVQlech_67 that’s why legends is better

My thoughts as well.

MVQlech_67 couldn’t have said it better myself

Not likely you’ll see many want to go back

It's funny, your comment reminded me to an imperial pilot in the game(Venrig) who says to the main character that she wants to hunt down all the imperial defectors after the war (and she mentions Iden Version, the main character of the alphabet squadron books and captain Javes) I wish I could tell her about Kallus, Sabine, Hobbie, Crix Madine, Jail, Han, Del, Wedge, Doza, Kendy, Thane and all the others, she would never finish the hunt 😂

Rodrick Lindsey Oh, alright, thx

Yeah, they sometimes let the KZfaq Channels like this Early Access to farm the Cutscenes together and release them to help drive a conversation and the story of the universe. It does marketing wonders, because seeing this, is very different to playing it yourself and they're banking on that mentality.

smoketinytom Thats pretty smart of them.

@@smoketinytom Interesting....

They don't really look evil when you compare them to other imperial characters though. Maybe they sound like it at certain moments, but when you listen to their dialogue during non-combat, it's not a black and white picture at all. Grey even vocally expresses he isn't sure about the methods that the Empire uses at one point, but he ultimately thinks the empire is the only government that can bring order to the galaxy. And if those methods work and save imperial lives, then he is all for it. His background as a cop means he's seen a lot of bad stuff, and he points out that the red tape preventing him from arresting killers and smugglers was one of the reasons why he joined up; to make a difference. Shen is a very neutral character. He just doesn't know any life other than being a fighter pilot. Sol is also a person who thinks the empire is needed to bring order to the galaxy. Sure, she might sound like a snake by always mentioning how titles get you influence, but that's because she comes from a family that had a big presence in politics. And she isn't wrong either. I highly doubt the New Republic senate would be any different. Vonreg acts like a bloodthirsty killer, but that's only towards those who deserve it; traitors who caused suffering for her friends. Don't forget that she had to watch a lot of her former squadron die to rebel pilots. In her case, it's just a matter of vengeance. Captain Kerril is the same in that regard, but on the other hand, she simply does what is required of her. Her former squadron leader's betrayal hit her hard on a personal level, and effectively stonewalled her career progress. She even displays good traits like cooperation and concern for her fellow imperials, and is very supportive of Titan Three, going to the point to even praise the pilot's accomplishments directly to Sloane. She knows the pilot also suffered because of the betrayal, and wants the best for her/him. Whenever she acts "evil", it's mostly because of her anger directed at Javes or incompetent and selfish officers. Destroying civilian transports for example may seem horrible to us, but that's the empire's strategy; simple as that. Besides, there's no clear "geneva convention" that tells us what is a warcrime in the Star Wars universe either. What stood out to me during the attack on the dockyards, was Hera asking Kerril to spare the "civilians/engineers' on the unarmed transports. In this scenario, I think Kerril made the right choice. Those transports were being escorted by rebel corvettes, and a dockyard is a military facility; not a civilian one. In other words, the people on those transports were clearly affiliated with the rebels, and wanted to escape a battle. You're not just going to allow the enemy to do that. Sorry for the long rant; didn't really mean to do that. Just wanted to say it's not black and white at all, and the imperial characters have actual motivations this time around.

@@generalofchaos5174 when you put it that way, I guess it makes sense

@@TESkyrimizer Yeah I meant like it wouldn't be realistic for the common Imperial soldier or pilot to be as villainous as the likes of Palpatine or Tarkin. I mean, look at Lost Stars as evidence of Imperials who joined for a good cause

The real issue is that you are talking about showing 'good' in a faction known for its genocidal, civilian murdering, mustache twirling corrupt villains who make it a habit of ruining lives. Clearly the rebels aren't all filled with bright eyed hopeful innocents youths, and the Empire isn't crewed by ALL evil, but they pretty much made it their standard to be bad. Its really hard to paint them in a good light without introducing enemies that you WANT to hate. Now, if they gave us an Imperial set of missions where we are doing what the Empire was SUPPOSE to be doing (dealing with pirates, terrorists, unsympathetic rebels, and other criminal scum), then they could actually come off as a firm but understandable faction. I actually ran a SW RPG where the players were Imperial, and changed a few things so that, at least this section of the Empire, was pragmatic and usually ignored the entire 'Tarkin Doctrine' because it was stupid and would lead to problems. They got to be legit heroes and they enjoyed that, because they never had to worry about killing refugee groups, or ripping apart planets with satellites. They got to fight enemies that the average person could feel good about fighting. Sadly no Star Wars game has yet embraced that particular idea. If they gave us Rebels we could hate, Commanders we could like, and missions where we feel like we are doing more than trying to kick puppy dogs, then you could have a good Imperial Campaign.

They're imperials who stuck around after Alderaan, Endor, _and_ Operation Cinder. Of course they're bad people.
