1:26 LONG LONG LONG LONG

The V-wing is probably the coolest looking republic ship, always thought it looked like a wolf head too

The droid tri-fighter is still an absolute monster.

FINALLY! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE STAR WARS FIGHTER!

6:48 this is what I miss the most in the new movies. The tech progression of the Star Wars universe.

Always loved the evolution of the minimalist design of the V wing and its transitional design aspects showing the evolution from jedi starfighter to empire superiority fighter with its cutting costs on life support and other options. Personally I would've loved to see more of this ship in action and I'm glad we saw more in The Bad Batch and perhaps we'll see a Mark 2 some day.

There is something with republic ships that even flying them in EA BF II feels fun. Unlike flying anything from the galactic civil "War"

I find it really cool how the republic used different types of fighters. The V-19 kinda feels like the F-16 of republic fighters. Mass produced and super nimble, but smaller and not as survivable.

It’s cool how bad batch uses them from a distance to foreshadow the tie fighter

Funny thing, in starfox assault. The arwings fuselage was similarly shaped as the v wing. Nintendo would make a fighter for the space battle over corneria using the arwings fuselage but with wings similarly shaped as the v wing. It looked very much like v wing.

One of the most underrated underused republic era ships and my personal favorite fighter ever

You brought up an excellent point I never considered beforehand, after years of fighting the droids, it seems, in more ways than 1, that The Republic & later The Empire gradually began adopting many of the tactics that were being used against them by the droids, including starfighter swarms and large amounts of relatively disposable infantry. It just makes me realize that the Empire was not only geared up for a war it wasn't fighting, (capital ship to capital ship for example), but geared up to fight a war it had already won.

NerdZ, in case you make a video in the future a new updated video of the Venator-class Star Destroyer, as you did of the V-wing It would be interesting if you calculate the size and space of the Venator hangar by calculating its square meters,similar to your Gladiator-class video.

It’s really nice to be able to start watching ship vids again since I’m still procrastinating finishing Andor. Great work as always!

The V-Wing for me is basically a "what would happen" when you use the design of the RZ-1 A-Wing, & the Mass Production of the Tie Fighter, & mix it together.

The Besh variant from the miniature game is to represent the bomber from BF2. I think the only source that gives them missiles is the FFG/Edge RPG.

0:57 nice catch. I wish they had been shown more prominently in the battle of Courscant at the start of Revenge of the Sith.

These are my favorite starfighters in Star Wars Battlefront 2, along with the Droid Tri-Fighter

The V wing was my first Star Wars Lego set. It’s one of my favorite fighters

Also these ships in legends were captured by the Rebel Alliance.

I like to think that fighter is versatile like you said with all the optional weapons Like those bombs they could be swapped out

I'd love to see a shipyard make a fighter that has an ion cannon that is set up like a Gatlin Gun and able fire like a Gatlin gun and maneuver like a v-wing. It would be a very useful fighter against star destroyers.

love this ship. its one of those ships that didn’t het much screen time but was goated in extended content like comics and books like Lords of the Sith when Vader hopped in one. Republic navy moving from those goofy torrents to these and Headhunters was probably the biggest glowup in SW PS this video reminded me how gorgeous Battlefront II is 🥲

It's a cute little ship. I'm not a pilot, but i would go for the V-wing if shuttles didn't exist.

This was always my favourite ship, next to the N-1 of course. Such sleek and beautiful starfighters

Excellent clip. I’m so happy this has been clarified and elaborated upon.

The wings are depicted to fold either forwards, backwards, or outwards. I wonder if there is an official way they are supposed to, or if they can do whatever depending on the situation.

Still my favorite starfighter since 2005!!

You forgot how the way the wings adjust for landing changed, from rotating, to folding, to both most recently

Bummer the most screen time for this one was at the very end of RotS. I liked how George would pick stuff from the EU to throw in his films. Made the universe feel more fleshed out.

You forgot to mention that the v-wing fighter also appeared in starfox assault for the GameCube

Always thought the v wing looked so slick.

Missed you man! Keep up the great work!

Just a great looking ship. A fraction of the price of the Eta with better guns and shields and almost equal in speed. Way better looking too. Throw in some life support upgrades and you've got a great little ride.

One of my favorite Republic starfighters. Keep up the good work, man.

Great video MetaNerdz, truly a fascinating starfighter.

My favorite ship from the Clone Wars and Imperial era.

Great vid

I think it's such a cool looking design. So glad to see them in action in bad batch

Keep posting great content man. I'm currently recovering from surgery and I'm binge watching your stuff again.

So is this the beginning of going through all the Republic ships or just one of those spur of the moment type postings? 😂 Cuz I would really love to see the Z-95 redone.

Always enjoy your videos.

Yes I had the biggest grin on my face ty for this vid I love this Fighter. 💯 ❤️

That was, Awesome thank you

When I first heard about this Starfighter, I got a little confused since I've heard of the V-Wing used by the Rebels in Legends. Don't know why The V-Wing from the classic Battlefront 2 game is one of my favorite variations of it

This was my first lego starwars set. It is what started my love for the franchise and will always hold a special place in my heart.

One of the coolest looking starfighters of the franchise, at least of the Republic. I know some people before said that the Arwings and Cornerian Starfighters of Star Fox Assault are very similar to the Nimbus V Wing (with the latter being basically a clone of it), but here's the thing: _Star Fox: Assault_ was released over three months before _Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith_ (February 14th vs May 19th). So either someone at Nintendo/Namco saw production material for RotS and added the Cornerian Starfighter as a reference, they're both based on a previous ship or it's just a coincidence.

I just want to say that having things like large panels on fighters to dissipate heat because of the way heat and space work together is a detail that's pretty damn unimportant, but it shows care with the world that's being created. We got things like that with Lucas running things, but we get a single TIE that's able to take out all the gun emplacments on a Star Destroyer with JJ and KK doing things. No, I don't care that the Star Destroyer was surprised because it didn't expect one of it's own fighters to attack it, the thing still shouldn't have been able to do that, even with that model TIE being better than the old one. "Poe is the best pilot ever!" Yeah but Finn is a janitor. JJ sucks. KK sucks. Rian sucks twice (your name isn't rye-an if you spell it like that, you're ree-ann, just because your parents got cute with how they spelled your name because they thought they were being clever doesn't mean the rest of us have to change the way we say words, you made half a good movie, only the first part of Looper was any good, you suck).

Fun Fact: the original Lego V-Wing that came out in 2005 only had an R4 head piece, not a full astromech body. Meaning that it was technically more lore accurate than the recent set in that respect.

4:08 That's really cool art of a V-Wing on Mygeeto

I remember the first Vwing Lego set that came out during episode 3, nostalgia hits good w/ this video

Underrated fr

I love the Nimbus-class V-wing

You are such a fracking nerdiod! watched this twice. Love it .... thanks

I personally interpreted the "Besh" and "Esk" variants of the V-Wing as the solutions for the inconsistencies. The B version is the bomber seen in BFII, a fast-moving ground-attack vehicle designed to fly in, drop ordnance on a ground target, and then get out. The E version is the escort seen in Revenge of the Sith, which has been noted to have an in-built hyperdrive.

One of my favorite Star Wars fighters. If you think about it, it's the perfect fighter for planetary defense forces. It is fast, shielded, and with the high rate of fire you don't have to be super accurate. It's also got an Astromech to help the pilot do things like fly and angle the weapons for firing. The mech can also be used after flying for maintenance and repairs, as well as to get the preflight done when the scramble alert goes out. Put in the bomb launchers and you have a low-end superiority fighter that can dogfight AND bomb larger targets.

It would have been cool if the Empire kept the V-Wing. Then both it's star destroyers and it's star fighters would have been wedge shaped.

Love this ship love your vids keep it up

Love the vwing

Nice looking ship

I have always been facinated with republic fighters. something just makes them feel rugged and well made

One of my first if not my first lego set 2005 v wing thanks grandma, too bad I was too dumb to put it together correctly lol

Dude I love this video no the worth thing I wanna ask for from you is do a video on the V-19 torrent/BTLB-Y wilming/ The ARC-170 and the clone Z-95 handle just starfighter Please can you do that I will give you 10000% of my support

YESSSSSSS MY FAVOURITE FIGHTER (other than the B wing)

the shot of v-wings screeching as they fly past the camera was always so silly to me

I wish we had seen them escorting ARC-170s. Clearing out vultures and letting the bombers go through undamaged.

I'll bet Empire pilots were pissed when they had to trade in these ships for the worse and way less survivable Tie fighters.

I would love to see a video about the Millennium Falcon here on Meta Nerdz Lore.

Got the 2006 lego V-wing it is a very nice starfighter it is my third favourite behind the ARC-170 Starfighter and X-wing Starfighter.

Technically the Eta-2 you see Anakin and ObiWan flying at the beginning of Episode 3 is the precursor to the Tie Fighter since it was developed alongside the Tie program in its early stages. Its deployment is probably what led to many of the features you see in the Tie. If anything the V-wing has more in common with the A-wing which would make its debut in Episode 6 since both craft were interceptors. The nail in the coffin for this debate is that Tie Fighter prototypes were first tested in 29bby. That is 7 years before the Clone Wars started(22 BBY) and 10 years before it ended(very late into 19BBY). The V Wing was first used in the 3rd year of the Clone Wars of 19BBY. TL;DR the V Wing can't be the precursor to the Tie Fighter since the Tie Fighter predates it by 10 years.

V Wing pilots look really cool.

"That's not how you VWING!" *Willie punches Frink*

Looks really dope though like something from The Old Republic Gree or Rakatan Empire design.

Is there any source, why they changed the landing gear - from landing on the wings to backfolding wings and the front „foot“?

My favorite Republic and Imperial ship!

I've been trying to find the micro galaxy squadron v-wing. Great looking ship!

i forgot i had seen this, so i just saw it again., you released 5h ago. god this weed is strong, but i dont feel like i wasted time, so kudos sir

always loved this ship, madea great bomber and heavy interceptor. every since battlefront 2, no not the PoS ea version for the ps4. looked like a beefy jedi starfighter i love the look

I really enjoy the V-wing. It certainly has had a lot of ambiguous attributes over the years. I'm still unsure of how the wing rotations work. Sometimes they depict the wing folding forward together and in the one wide shot clip here, the wings are folded backward. But then it also has the wings as landing gear feature where the whole thing stays open but rotates down. Are all of them true? Great video.

I have a toy of one of these somewhere, it's huge

FFG Collapse of The Republic book, nice. These books got a lot of neat details and lore in them; let alone fun to play.

Definitely top three ship designs in all of star wars

Never thought I’d see a Star Wars KZfaqr be sponsored by fume

I didn't really enjoyed that much in sw bf ii (2005) because of the way it fires lol. Tho I love how it looks like and of course the stuka like sound

My favorite Starfighter

Are there any plans to do a lore breakdown on the wookies?

How does the V wing only have a 75 mglt while the slow ass arc 170 have a rating of 100 mglt???

There was a recolor release of the V-Wing LEGO set that was an Imperial variant.

This has always been my go-to ship if I was to ever be in Star Wars.

The V-Wing are the main fighter for the Republic on Battlefront: Elite Squadron on the PSP. I think because I have thousands of hours on that I grew to respect the fighter. It isn't a tie fighter. I'd say its better.

Can we get one of these on the Theta class shuttle? It’s my favourite shuttle and it’s (in my opinion) underrated as hell

V wings do really remind me of the Starfox Assault Arwing

Can you do the harower destroyer breakdown

Alpha nimbus Vwing is also predecessor of Awing. Vwing has better armoured cockpit , and speed is close to equal

This is the fighter design the empire should have used en masse. You could strip out the droid while keeping the shields, high firepower and great speed.

MetaNerdz Lore: "You want to buy some Fume?" Me: *Performs mindtrick* You don't want to sell me Fume. MetaNerdz Lore: " I don't want to sell you Fume..." Me: "You want to go home and rethink your life." MetaNerdz Lore: "I want to go home and rethink my life."

my favorite, even though I don't know why in Bad Batch it's vipada without a shield even though it should even have a palpatine escort and a hyperdrive

Okay so to fighters don’t have life support so the pilots need sealed suits but what about when Poe and Finn took the tie fighter from the first order and didn’t have helmets

Really hope they make a new Lego version of it especially a grey one

I always thought the Eta class was the predecessor to the Tie Fighter? as least visually they looked similar
