The Incom T-65B X-Wing was one of the finest starfighters to grace the battlefields of the Galactic Civil War. Today we look at the most famous individual unit AA 589 call sign Red Five, other wise known as the X-Wing of Luke Skywalker.

I actually wish he had not made this video. The Last Jedi movie angered me so much, I refused to watch anymore of Disney Star Wars. Of course, I learned a few things by accident, having many nerd friends and nerd social media channels I am subbed to, like this one. I already knew that Rey stole the Skywalker name, and ended up with the Falcon. It was only just now that I found out she got Luke's X-Wing too. Eff Kathleen Kennedy.

*Fun Fact:* In Legends Luke continued to use his X-Wing until the end of the War against the Empire in 19 ABY. Curiously, thanks to said ship Mara Jade was able to locate and capture Luke, so said ship is responsible for the first meeting between both Jedis and thus the continuity of the Skywalker lineage.

There’s no way Luke flew the same ship the whole time since the X-wing left behind on Cloud City was certainly lost to him. But I guess if Luuke can be cloned from Luke’s severed hand and the Youngling Killer was retrieved in both the EU and Disney Canon them SOMEHOW his X-wing can be saved from the Imperial garrison on Bespin. I guess.

C3P0 Also wasn't a friend, he was a refurbishment hobby project, so it isn't hard to see why he didn't notice one of the hundreds of protocol droids was one he had rebuilt as a kid. And after Anakin became Vader, he had grown to hate droids, he barely tolerated his medical droids and frequently destroyed them in his pain or rage. I doubt Vader would care much about R2D2 one way or the other.

BTW Many US Air Force fighters follow that Incom model. If you can fly a T-38, you can fly an F-15 or an F117 Stealth. They all even have the same landing gear. Of course, with fighters like the F-22 and the F-35 entering, and the F-15 and F-117's programs ended and being decommissioned, you no longer have this much uniformity.

Not so much the "Incom model" as it is the "standard model". While almost all aircraft are different to a degree, after WW2 most aircraft started using the same layouts and controls. Kinda like how a Ford Model T was controlled vs how modern cars are controlled (Thankfully. Never drive a Model T if you don't have to) Look at the cockpits of the different fighters from WW2 vs the same nations fighters in the early 60's. So far, off the top of my head I've been in over a dozen different MDS of fighter, from American, to European to a couple Russian. Once you learn one, you can easily figure out the rest. ALso, the Air Force is currently planning on retiring the F-22 and will likely replace it with a new version of the F-15. Depending on the NGAD program.

The Millennium Falcon isn't the only ship that's been fitted with copious amounts of Plot Armour. To be fair, after it's dunking in the Dagoba swamp, Luke probably had the ships refitted to make sure it could survive such water with some prep, so any repairs Rey needed to make would've been from the thing sitting for so long. Basically giving it a service, new battery, probably checking it with an OBD2 scan tool...

Let's be honest. If "Rise of Skywalker" made 0,0000001% sense, Luke's X-Wing scene would have been this: Rey: "Will you let me have your ship, Luke?" 😃 Luke's spirit: "Honey, that thing has been submerged at the bottom of the sea for years. It must be as rusty as it is starved of fuel. By the way, I'm a ghost, so all the support I can give yoy is purely motivational." Rey: "So this is what having a flaw with consequences feels like..." 😢

Why do people keep referring to it as "Red-5?" Call signs are assigned to pilots, not planes or ships. This is why Luke was originally given that call sign, because the previous pilot with the call sign was killed in the Battle of Scarif, and I mean that ship was totally destroyed, so it's not like Luke was given that ship. Luke did not keep that call sign however, he was "Rogue Leader" in The Empire Strikes Back, and even if you assume that Rogue Squadron only referred to the snowspeeder squadron, Luke would've been "Red Leader" in his X-Wing (Wedge Antilles is Rogue 2 in Empire and Red Leader in ROTJ, so he clearly succeeded Luke as the head of that squadron once Luke joined the ground mission at Endor. The legends material I believe gives readers the idea that Rogue Squadron, which is referred to many other times, did include X-Wings and was only called "Red Squadron" at the Battle of Endor in honor of the original Red Squadron from the Battle of Yavin. Either way, Luke clearly did NOT keep using Red-5 as a call sign, so it makes no sense to refer to his ship by that designation.)

@Plaprad
@Plaprad 6 ай бұрын
Probably a very decentralized series of mobile factories building different small parts that all go to one final assembly. The Germans tried it towards the end of WW2 with their aircraft and missiles. But it only works if you can get the components to that final assembly without .50cal holes. The modern equivalent would probably be the 787 from Boeing. Almost none of the aircraft is actually built in Everett or Charleston. They are built ALL over the world and all the parts come together at one place for final assembly. For extra interesting, several parts are made by Airbus, I believe in Italy. Have a few small factories making a few different parts each, and bring them all together on a ship or base. That also spreads out your supply chain for spare parts so one factory being destroyed doesn't mean you have no more engines or seat cushions.

My head Cannon is that the T-65A were built at the Incom factory and the T-65B was a simplified version produced at secret Rebel Facilities. The T-65C was a late war improved version. Original T-65 prototype. T-65A for initial production run that had more "polished" look. T-65B which was simplified and more rugged for Rebel use- included a Hyperdrive that was same model as Standard on Y-Wings to improve compatibility. (lots of Y-wing hyperdrives avaible for use) T-65C improved fire control and systems as well as improved shields. Standard T-65Bs could be upgraded to this model. Terms like "X-wing" "Y-Wing" and "A-Wing" are not technical designations but monikers (like an F-15E being known as a "Strike Eagle") Originally the Term "Wing" was a marketing term used by Koensayer for marketing the Y-Wing (the idea being that space frame was highly adaptable for multiple uses such as fighter, recon, bomber, attack, patrol etc.) Y-Wing was a modular ship that could be rebuilt with different parts for different mission types but using the same basic drive core and hyperdrive and frame. This was why the Rebels LOVED the Y-wing despite it being old. X-Wing was a term invented by Incom to follow the concept coined by Koensayer during the Clone Wars although the X-wing was not nearly as modular as the Y-Wing (Rebels for this reason did not modify X-wings as much as Y-wings mainly usesing their T-65s as space superiority and limited bombing work) Also X-wings were always built as single seaters while Y-wings would have a Varity of crew configurations. The A-wing was originally not ever called "A-wing" but "R-22 Spearhead" but rebels took their R-22 and heavily modified them into RZ-1 "A-wing" interceptors. the R-22 was a significantly less capable ship than the RZ-1 since it had a new more powerful drive core and updated avionics and fire control. Drive core is the "heart" of any Starwars ship with the basic equation being Drive core power-size-ships Mass= ship speed, maneuverability, hyperdrive speed. B-Wing followed suit after it was developed as an anti-Ship specialized fighter and the Rebels continued their tradition of giving ships a "Wing" name.

When I was a kid, watching A New Hope for the very first time, I knew that I was never going to become a Jedi. (I look terrible in a brown robe) But while every kid was "training" with their lightsabers and trying to "mind trick" the teacher into less homework, *I* was dreaming about being an X-wing pilot. The Boss 302 of the galaxy.😉 Thanks for the breakdown, Alan. Red-5 deserves major props.

I always wondered what happened to his ship after he left it at Cloud City. Also, Luke constructs his new lightsaber on Tatooieen. Not just the deleted scene on Return of the Jedi, but the part when Vader is talking to him on the landing platform on Endor. "I see you have constructed a new lightsaber, now your training is complete." Palpatine says something similar in the throne room. "Ah much like your father's" Obi Wan left him some parts, some knowledge and a journal to find a Kyber Crystal. That's what Luke was missing. Normally it takes a Jedi about a month to put the parts together with the force alone, and do all the fine tuning so it doesn't blow up. They are very tempermental. Just ask Tenel Ka. Her first attempt cost her an arm. Obi Wan left instructions from the clone wars, and previous jedi wars with the sith and manalorians and stuff that taught them how to 'mass produce' a light saber in a few nights of meditation and, Luke also happens to be a fucking master mechanic, just like Anakin. So you see him putting one together with his hands, not his force powers is a big deal. That cut scene had a bit more too it. Read the book I, Jedi. Talks a lot about how a jedi passes their test of making a lightsaber and the faster method.

Luke put his X-Wing underwater as to hide it from being on land to be spotted more easily. When Rey finds Luke, Luke was suffering from Despair (Despair - The voluntary and complete abandonment of all hope of saving one's soul and of having the means required for that end, Catholic Encyclopedia 1917) of having losing hope with his own self.

@9:30 Unstable flow of fuel/energy to an engine would generate an unsteady amount of thrust from an engine. Given that spacecraft use their engines to steer rather than control surface, due to a lack of atmosphere, This would result in the same problems and damaged control surface would for an aircraft. Basically, Different terminology, same problem except the explanation works in a vacuum.

Seeing the Imperial Gov't (propaganda) Advert for the TIE Fighter early in this vid and thinking of many others I've seen over multiple vids, I was wondering Allen if you might consider dedicating a video, to the multiple propaganda promotional displays that SW has provided us? Some are quite cool and hearing any historical facts associated with them (in-story and behind the scenes), I think would be quite interesting. :) Of course, thanks again for a great vid Buddy!

The development of the X wing kinda mirrors the progression of American carrier fighter wing groups. Z95 Head Hunter = F4 Phantom im fast a f*** boii Arc 170 = F14 Tomcat large standoff fighter with huge radar. Come on a Arc 170 with star wars version of Phoenix missles be badass. And the X Wing is the f18 Hornet. Not the best at anything but can dog fight, ground pound, refuel buddies, and jam radars off same air frame

How fast was the hyperdrive aboard the X-wings? How quickly could they get from point A to point B ? Do those hyperlight-enabled starfighters have a full life- support system, with full connections available to the pilots when needed, if a flight needs to last more than 12 hours, being cooped up in those tiny pilot seats only?

The Tie fighter is the ultimate lesson in "you get what you pay for" sure it was only 1/3 a price of the X-Wing, but with those saving came with a super cramped cockpit, no light engines, no shields, no droid compartment fo an astro droid to do on the fly repairs and was just a cheap POS in my opinion. (with the exception of the interceptor, those had shields and light speed capability)
