Last time I was this early, Palpatine hadn't made it legal yet.

I love this because it shows that republic and empire were essentially the same entity especially visually, it just slowly changed over time to become associated with the negative aspects that we see of it.. identically to the roman republic/empire. Rome did most of its conquest as a republic.

Although there is no official art, fractalsponge has, as usual, made a spectacular model that looks like it was pulled from a full HD official movie.

That empire at war gameplay looked so slick

Subtitles said "Eckharts Slaughter" laughed a little to much at that idk why.

This actually points to one of my only real issues with the clone war series, the seperatists had a variety of warships, while republic warships were almost always just a small group of venators. I love the venator, but why the animators never bothered to show us anything but venators for the republic.

Just like any Star Wars era story, for me personally, I would think there would be a ton more design diversity, and even more than a few dreadnought, battlecruiser, & Star Destroyer classes out there. I think this would be true just due to the size of the Galaxy, the number of planetary navies, the tech, and resources at hand. Love these Fractal and Legends designs, and I sure hope we get more of them in the future.

When he was talking about the Subjugator having at least one sister ship, he ALMOST talked about 'the Devastation' *You were on the verge of greatness. You were THIS close*

A little geeky rant. I love the military evolution of star wars (until the sequel trilogy) Before the clone wars planets had to defend themselves with fighters and small cruisers. They didnt have the resources to make and maintain capital ships. This ideology was used in the clone wars. The republic and CIS navy is based off this mindset. It used retrofitted civilian ships, consular, cr90, lukrehulk, munificent and created ships to support a fighter dominated warfare, venator and providence. The republic through the development and use of victory class and probably prototype ISDs found out heavier, stronger ships were more effective in a conventional war. So with the trasition into an empire, with this mindset, they built more and more ISDs. But to have hands on control of the galaxy ISDs were too expensive and resourse intensive. (Even the republic couldn't patrol the entire galaxy) That's were the tarkin doctrine comes in. Control the galaxy through fear. But the tarkin doctire military was ineffective against rebels who use hit and run tactics. This evolution is amazing because you can see the military evolve. As the audience we can nitpick and see why this and that could've been done better, but within the lore, the military evolves using it's own history. The empire didnt know of the rebel threat when it created its military. It only had the clone wars to look to for guidance. A war that could've been prevented/won earlier if it had a heavier hand and stronger ships. Therefore the empire created the tarkin doctire and ISDs

Procurator?!? Sounds like an evil version of a Proctologist.

Ive always loved the idea that in some far distant corner of the galaxy during the war, The Republic was using Victory-I, Mandator III's and Proto imperial Star destroyers all decked in republic red livery against the seps.

“Now boys are you ready for your,..... SUPER(SUPER)........SECRET(secret)........SHIP(ship)......VIDEO(ViDeO)!!!!”

All I've ever wanted to see in Clone Wars were victory sds and Dreadnoughts but I think that dream is dead.

The Maelstrom sounds like a very interesting and powerful warship

#AskEck How many capital ships did the CIS navy have in the Expanded Universe? Not canon.

I wanted to thank you for re-igniting my love for Star Wars. Once I compartmentalized the keeps and dumps, the alternate universes with the what if's history, I realized, once again, what it was I loved about it. I realized the depth and breadth of the lore extended so far beyond Lucas's vision. That the galaxy was everyone's sandbox. That most of what I loved wasn't in the so-so movies, but the Extended Universe, the "non-canon" shows", and the games. I needed to be reminded what I lost along the way, and you helped. So, thank you.

All seasons of THE clone wars are canon, what the question meant was if Clone Wars (2003) was both canon and legends, and no, it's plain ol' Legends

What would have happened if UNSC had defeated he covenant forces and captured the forerunner fleet in Halo Wars instead of destroying the ships?. #askeck

#askeck *Do you think there’d be sense in changing the lore and extending the Clone Wars to 5 years instead of 3?* (So push everything pre ROTS back 2 years) I say this because it feels like far to much happens socially, character and plot wise for just 3 years. Look at Ahsoka, for example, she ages far more than just 3 years in the show. And logistically thinking a galactic scale war (ship building, battles, troop movements across the galaxy) would probably take more time to take place. This change would also slightly mirror the timeline of WW1 & 2, thus making it more understandable/relatable.

Now I’m thinking about what potential missions could’ve been undertaken to upgrade existing ships that are Loyal to the Republic & such… The Pilot Sim “TIE Fighter” had a number of escort & guard duties that involved resupply and/or upgrades so…

Sadly, from what communities I’m part of related to FFG: the Rpg side of things have gone down. So unless X-Wing/Armada gets a new wave of attention, we may not see too much on other ships beyond comics/novels

I personally dont think it was a crappy drawing my friend, cause I found great inspiration from it be it a very basic drawing, it gave me a great image and a grgreat challenge to recreate what could have been and bring life to your drawing. I'm grateful for your design and for the mention above. Thank you my friend, and thank you for you channel and all the hard work you do. Keep it up. 👍

Honestly I’m really glad you’re winding down the sequel trilogy content

Personally, I like EvilleJedi's representations of the Procurator, Praetor I, Mandator I/II, and Bulwark I/II. And I definitely hope one day they're canonized... with permission, of course...

thank you for not turning into those channels that only uploads videos called “STaR wARs COnFIrmS” bs. this is genuine great, consistent lore videos. keep going :)

3:13 "the man- dater"

Bulwark class, I remember that from _Star Wars: Rebellion_ I think.

When you talk about Star Wars, I love your passion for all ships. I wish hot wheels could make this ships to buy. I try collect as many as I can. Thanks for knowledge and keep the great work!

I love the use of space engineers to show the maelstrom

It'd be cool to see this for every major era.

This is a topic I really enjoy. EAW modding does a great job with bringing the secret capital ships to life, especially for the republic.

I love the prequel era it’s so good

Great video

AWESOME!! I love capital ships!!

#AskEck if Wat Tambor was taking into republic custody after the battle of ryloth then why he is he commanding a facility on Skako Minor. Because the techno Union is a corporate power or he had a food excuse to be there, I think.

What people don't kno is the corona virus is actually darth tenabrous' failed virus to sever the jedi connection to the force! 😆

Cool topic Eck, i enjoyed the video.

Good Job

Hi eck love the vids keep it up

Of all the things, I was not expecting to see space engineers in this video.... im not complaining.

Still can't get over seeing a Star Destroyer in republic use

that will be a very good super capital ship i love it

If im not mistaken Mandalorians has sort of triangle style ship, than it was stolen by the Republic, the Interdictor ship appeared , and later on transformed into the star destroyers, venators an other triangle class ships.

Everybody Gangsta til the Republic pulls out the Star Dreadnought.

4:13 that ship looks pretty cool

Despite not being great for carrying ships these star destroyers are pretty badass.

Some of those ships needs to be canon!

How do starships turn in Starwars? We really only ever see rear facing thrusters/engines. Internal gyroscopes? Lateral thrusters we don’t really notice? It seems like most space “flight” in SW is based on planes with banking, etc., but maybe there’s an explanation I’ve missed?

Idk why, but every time the Malevolence (or Subjugator class in general) gets mentioned the Devastator from Star Wars the Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance pops up in my head. It’s definitely not canon anymore, if it ever was to begin with... but I’m curious if I’m the only one remembering it, because it was definitely very different from it’s sister ships. I also never heard it being mentioned like ever.

I was introduced to the Bulwark class vessel in Star Wars: Rebellion (pc game) which I play from time to time.

I feel like you could probably fit a small hangar bay the front part of the superstructure for the bridge.

I love your channel keep grinding.

I mean, there was the Devastation as well. It might have only appeared in Star Was: The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance for the Nintendo DS, but i think its save to say that it deserves some recognition as well

Seeing that Praetor take on a subjugator makes me happy

i love that the large providence and recusant are just a result of the clone wars team messing up the scaling from their original size seen in revenge of the sith🤣🤣

Thanks for releasing yet another very interesting video on the Star Wars universe! Out of curiosity, would it be possible to get a link to the image used for the thumbnail?

I wish we had seen these ships in the clone wars series.

How would Palpatine do in the Warhammer 40k universe? Would he be able to achieve a position of power through either his political skill or for be powers? Or would he be destroyed easily since the Warhammer universe is so much stronger than the Star Wars universe? #askeck

wow seeing SE in a eck vid that cool

Clone Wars before Disney was considered Quasi-Canon to EU. Because of known inconsistencies between established Clone Wars comics and books, Dave Filoni unfortunately opted to take his own route outside the bounds of Legends. Which can be considered a negative or positive outcome, depending on your stance.

#AskEck *Attempt 729* Remember to do the Forerunners vs the Imperium of Man faction versus video.

I bet that the republic senate expected the clone wars to finish quickly, so they didn’t approve the funding of many imperial class destroyers because it was expensive and took a long time to build.

Could you do a video on the Ruusan Reformation and how it compared to real world, post Great War treaties that limited the size and armaments of Naval Vessels? It would be interesting to see a Star Wars take on the Hunt of the Bismark.

Lol i just got on the computer and there was a 2 min old video. Glad I made it.

I like the Imperator’s paint job

Maybe do a video on grysk technology or do grysk tech vs yuuzhan vong tech

What would win, The Malevolence VS Imperial Star Destroyer #AskEck

Tbh the bulwark looked like an angry buffalo charging at full speed

4:11 watching this while playing space engineers lol

#AskEck Could the Archdevils (Barbatos, Dispater, Belial, Mammon, Geryon, Moloch, Baalzebul and Mephistopheles) Defeat The Flood? | Pathfinder vs Halo (76th attempt)

The "z3r0x" mod for Empire at War adds both the Procurator and Mandator battoecruisers as well as Bulwarks to the game. I do like the model used for the Mandator, but the Procurator screams "Old Republic" and almost looks Mon Cal inspired. I'd reccomend trying out the mod on stream. From what I've heard it's one of the older mods for the game. It basically adds a ton of new units and some small factions.

Notifications are great.

Sure would’ve been nice to see some of these things in clone wars.

The Maelstrom originally appeared in the Living Force campaign from Wizards of the Coast.

I’m sad you didn’t make a read all options video... I voted for it

Have I heared right? Some seasons of Clonewars are legends now?

I would like to remind you that the time of the Old Republic is nearly 1000 years before the movies in legends, nothing in that era for canon though there will be the High Republic taking place 200 years before the movies. The Republic in the Clone Wars is known as the Galactic Republic. It's only called the "Old Republic" in Empire Strikes Back because to them, it was the old regime. Just wanted to clear that up, noticed you called it the Old Republic in the video

EckhartsLadder, well but what is about the secutor? Isn't it a republic design that was used in the empire and the republic?

As of this comment, I'm in the process of drawing a rough sketch of the Maelstrom after studying the fan designs (including EckhartsLadder) and refining the design. I have no clue how to put the image in comments but I am eager to show EckhartsLadder and get feedback (more inspiration and references come from the Venator and the Secutor, the latter coming from the wonderful FractalSponge) so I can improve (I hope to also show FractalSponge so we can finally have a depiction of the Maelstrom, even if it is fan-made).

I heard of a subjugator in legends that had a superlaser instead of a ion weapon

I wonder why (other than making animation cheaper/covering up scaling mistakes for the clone wars) the CIS liked making oversized versions of their capital ships so much? Like, was it much easier for automated production than designing a bigger ship from the ground up, or was it another bit of corporate logic like using the B1 for literally everything that saves you 0.00000001% on total costs at the small price of hamstringing your entire military.

Hope the Maelstrom class battlecruiser appears in Empire at War.

At the risk of shooting myself in the foot for thinking this, but I'm tempted in trying my hand with making a 3D model of the Maelstrom(?) dreadnought. Though it be in Google Sketchup if I did.

You are right there is the old republic but to be more specific it is the galactic republic and not the old republic as in the one from several thousands of years before the battle of Yavin

#askeck Why didn’t the rebels mount the Recusant prow mounted heavy turbolaser onto the bow of Rebel One like they did with the engines? Video suggestion/request: X-83 Twintail vs. Tie Defender (Legends)

I could've sworn, in a game, there was a scaled up venator that look pretty cool but i can't find it

I wish we could of seen the republic use the victory class star destroyer

1:23 smaller ships: am I a joke to you?

4:16 I am literally making a death star on space engineers on a server rn

The Malevolence having a sister ship makes sense as the Bismarck had a brother ship, the Tirpitz (Both were the only ships referred as male)

What would a Star Destroyer that has been captured and put into use by the Rebel Alliance look like? Any ideas for markings and modifications for a model I'm building?

Why do I get the feeling that this whole "Providence and Recusant are made in two different sizes" thing was just a lazy explanation for inconsistent depictions of what should've been the same sized ships?

The mandatory sort of resembles the Corvus

That’s one sexy ship design in the thumbnail

15 seconds ago new record

Unaware lower your reading but the imperial class Star destroyer was the biggest ship class in Star wars universe. Even the new republic could not build something as powerful as a star destroyer

Gaddamn can I get some love for the chancellor class star destroyer.
