That is so true.

And because of this, it and the Old Jedi Order were rightfully destroyed so for the New Republic (later, the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances) and the New Jedi Order to rise from their ashes.

@@michaelandreipalon359 I would love for the Jedi to remain dead and forgotten, they're just repeating the same mistakes they did in the clone wars era, no change and no reformation just defenders of their own Virginia's..

@@stuartemmanuel3735 So long as there are people born with Force sensitivity, there will always be a need for the Jedi Order in some form or another... or at the very least some kind of order of Force sensitives aligned with the Light Side of the Force. Also, I have to figure that rehabilitating the image of the Jedi after public opinion swaying against them during the Clone Wars, followed by decades of Imperial propaganda against them would be quite the uphill battle anyway.

@@stuartemmanuel3735 In Legends that's false, I'm pretty sure they didn't make the same mistakes the old Jedi order did. And in the sequels, that's true, but the people who made those films had no idea what they were doing. They should've let most of Legends remain canon and follow Lucas' original sequel trilogy plan.

@@capslatt7208 Pretty much yah

@@michaelandreipalon359 they probably honestly didn’t live well after retirement. Lot of people more than likely held great resentment and hatred for the clones after order 66

I mean Imperator and Victory Class Star Destroyers were now being mass produced, Clones were being given weapons such as E-11, Clone Fighters became more like Tie Fighters, Clone Armor Phase II looked very similar to Stormtrooper armor, At-Ats were being made, aswell as At-Sts. Yeah Palpatine was definitely pushing Imperial weaponry during the Clone Wars.

Well said!

Some people truly feel like the prequels and the lore from the clone wars was unnecessary, but I’ve always said it did a great job in showing how something like a large scale galactic empire could even possible come into existence.

Accurate to real history. The Roman Republic was gradually corrupted to the Roman Empire in a span of about a century and Hitler used the unpopularity of the Weimar Republic and the economic crises at the time to make the Nazis control Germany.

@@hydrogendiamond5830 hate of minorities is other thing that the nazis and empire have in common

Even now we know that democracy has its shortcomings. Ideally, a tyranny of the "wise men" (quoting Platoon, maybe? Can't remember) would be the ideal. There are four problems on that: 1. A tyranny is inherently unfair by its own definition, no matter who rules. 2. It's hard to find a shared definition of "wise men". 3. You just need one bad ruler to ruin the government forever. 4. Corruption runs rampant. The latter two can be shared with democracies too, to an extent. Still, if I knew FOR SURE that someone honest and sane was gonna rule, without racism or other irrational prejudices, probably a tyranny would be the way to go in real life.

@Darth Sidious that‘s during the time immediately before Darth Bane. The republic collapses and only the Jedi remain while the Sith rule the galaxy while fighting them selves. Technology regresses and life gets worse

More like the Imperial Guard compared to the Space Marines for me.

*knights

Bit random, but between me and my mates, our insult word is peasant

Yeah. The Jedi and a small group of senators like Bail Organa, Padme, and Mon Mothma were the only ones that were really keeping the last bits of the Republic alive. Get rid of the Jedi and silence the disobedient senators, and you'd have no resistance and you could do whatever you want. Palpatine was already a dictator even before the CW ended. It didn't help that the citizens supported the Empire in the early years and that he had an army of hyperloyal Clones.

Kinda sounds like a certain faction in my government that keeps trying to do an pull in more an more for themselves

@@shaydowsith348 honestly they are more like the ranger regiment if anything

I doubt that. Got one thing, Palpatine could be legally elected out. Yeah, he got around getting legally kicked out by creating the Separatist Crisis, but I’m of the opinion that so long as the Jedi Order and Senate still had power, the Republic was standing. The Senate did have the authority during the war to make peace with the CIS and decrease the military budget. If you have to use scare tactics and terrorism to get people to vote on your side, I say there is still hope. I say the Republic died during Order 66, when the last legal enemy of Palpatine was crushed, the Jedi Order. The Senate died sometime between when they gave Palpatine control of the banks and the Battle of Coruscant. Sometime during that period they gave Palpatine the last of their power to stop him, thus leading to them being replaced by military governors after the Battle of Coruscant.

Maul did.

The video game Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds showed that the Rebels in the early days were not above using old CIS military assets with a repaint.

In legends rahm kotas milltia used the DC 15 blaster since they had pleanty of those left and they were considered a pretty solid weapon still along with the rotary blasters

Yes. In Fallen Order, you see some dropships parked, being used by the local rebel forces we as some of the troopers using the DC15 blasters.

What a BUFFOON

The do or die mentality... Fearing what would happen if the CIS took over if they didn't.. Later fearing what Palps, Vader, Etc Imperial forces would do later

It's the Aussie accent!

Stop complaining about a good trait.

@Darth Sidious Think way back in the old republic times

@Darth Sidious Fair, well one example I can think of is the genocide of the sith. Or sterilizing the planet Desevro, Xenocide of the Ubese, secret prison camp on Belsavis, Pius Dea Crusades, Anti-Sith bill (which was used as an excuse for the new sith war), Mandalorian Excision. I admit some I didn't know about until now.

I have to disagree. Yes, Outer Rim worlds paid taxes and got nothing in return and the megacorporations taking over worlds did so after the Senate gave them permission, but I’m of the opinion the Republic only truly became the Empire during the last year of the Clone Wars. The two factions have dark similarities, but that isn’t the same as being practically alike.

@@tristankawatsuma8962 And the genocides? I listed a few things in another reply in this thread.

@@Mate397 The Old Republic war crimes and Clone Wars war crimes? If war crimes were only a thing totalitarians did, than the Rebels shouldn’t be allowed to run the galaxy. No faction would. Every faction has people who commit war crimes. The Republic at least punished a number of war criminals in its ranks, though of course we know those with friends in high places like Tarkin and Anakin avoided too much scrutiny. Still, the Empire is one of the few factions who made war crimes a policy. Even with the Separatists, it’s more of who has a close or special relationship with Dooku and the Separatist Council. No so much as war crimes are policy as Dooku keeping a loose leash sometimes and needing some atrocities committed at others.

Most of the channels on "Star Wars" dwell on same topics in most cases. Another similarity I found while going through these, whenever they make a video on a certain topic, they provide unnecessary background info too much that become irritating to watch sometimes.

There hangers were located along the sides of the ship. Republic cruisers did as well but less side ones since their ships had that large central main hanger

A lot of it was external mounting

Weight. It would be impractical to use Duracrete/Thick Durasteel in combat due to how much material you would need to wear to have blaster bolts bounce off slowing you down if not leaving you unable to move, not to mention on the off chance that you end up fighting a Jedi they can melt through your armor and some hand held blasters can still get through(the DC-15 A Rifle and the Westar 32 hand canon come to mind) while you need some type of turret or an explosive to get past Beskar if it’s of good quality and thick enough to resemble standard Clone/Stormtrooper armor(aka Mando, Gar Saxon[TCW] and a few others kits with the Fett set and most Death Watch derivative Mandalorians having armor able to be pierced or dented by stronger blasters or Lightsabers at the right angle[ie:every time a Mando shot another one with a Westar, the Boba vs Cad Bane duel, and how Ashoka cut through some Death Watch members in an episode of TCW]). Light Durasteel armor would offer similar protection to a weaker set of Beskar as seen in Legends, however at a cost in long term use(Bo Katan’s armor has existed as an armor set for at least 500 years with only relatively minor non cosmetic and technical changes while Boba had to occasionally make repairs in Legends and Din’s chest plate didn’t survive a blow even a weak Beskar set could take from that mudhorn in the second episode of the Mandalorian).

Dual bridge doesn't usually mean separate systems - to do what you are suggesting you'd need to duplicate and separate the backplanes for each bridge because a destroyed bridge inc electronics would be throwing shorts and undervolts into the systems and probably cooking them. This is expensive (and is why meatspace battleships often had either limited or no auxiliary electronic systems). And yes, an A Wing is quite small, but add a dose of inertia and lots of nice vulnerable electronics... Even an auxiliary bridge would need duplicate systems in that situation.

Using ISD wasn't so much about actual tactical ability - more about the size and image - the fears the thing.

@@rosiehawtrey nerd

you just don't want to hear the truth

TIEs are faster, cheaper, more maneuverable, and more terrifying. Their weapons systems may have been inferior (for the standard TIE model: TIE Interceptors were better than V-Wings and TIE Bombers were better than ARCs), but with the numbers they were deployed in, they could do everything a V-Wing could, and Star Destroyers had more firepower than they knew what to do with. As for Venators, they had far less offensive firepower and were much less durable than Star Destroyers, which were also far more terrifying figures due to their size. They were better carriers, sure, but Star Destroyers were good enough, and with their other advantages and the Imperial emphasis on firepower over just about everything else, good enough was indeed good enough.

Yup.

But Vader didn't beat Palpatine. He survived. Besides, do you really think that Luke would have gone up to some Mandalorian and said "Hey, I killed my father, who killed the emperor, who beat up that one guy who took over your planet a while back, so technically that's mine and I'm going to give up being Grandmaster of the Jedi Order to rule over a bunch of warriors."? I don't. It would have made for a much better Episode IX, though. Luke with full Beskar armor, duel-wielding the Darksaber and his green lightsaber as he beats up anyone trying to get him to rejoin the wider galaxy and oppose the First Order, then eventually being convinced and leading an army of Mandalorians against the Sith Eternal...
