Man i would love to see on screen the Moncalamari ships taking off and the reaction of the imperials, maybe Rebels should do that but Rebels never do anything good (except for Trawn...kinda) -_-
ummm so this is a bit of continuity error the a-wing is being used prior to the battle of yavin by pheonix squadron 2:10 but was designed after the battle of yavin 2:20
it gets worse, A-wings were used in the second year of the empire, as seen in the Canon Ahsoka novel, not long after the first Empire day, about 1-3 months after.
there is a way to rectify this. the pre yavin a wings could have been an earlier model than the ones used at Endor.this could be following the same concept. we see the earlier a-wing with phoenix squadron and other "diplomatic" groups. we also see in rebels that y wings were stolen from scrap yards and other such facilities.
I think it's a combination of stealing ships, buying them from the black market, buying them from friendly planets that aren't fully under the control of the empire, or buying them under disguise (like Bail Organa buying some ships for Alderaan, then giving them to the rebel alliance). I also assume they have some level of industrial capability, considering many worlds in the outer rim aren't under the control of the galactic republic, and they could also go to scrapyards and refurbish some old ships.
You should do a video about what would happen if a super star destroyer crashed into the Earth. Just like it did with the death star in return of the Jedi
Given the Executor and other Star Dreadnoughts (SSD) are around 19km in length, it would be like an asteroid hitting the earth surface, as well the detonation of the ships solar ion reactors and munitions stores, it would probably cause an near extension level event, and quite possibly alter the planet's gravitational axis, either is very, very bad or at the very least plunge our little mud ball into a nuclear winter for several decades and release tons of radioactive material into out atmosphere.
It would be like the Ravager (The last Super star destroyer) in the battle of Jakku, Jakku wasn't destroyed, it all depends on the way it crashed. Nose first: Well if it crashed in Africa then about half the continent would be screwed, but if it crashed belly first into the ground only a approximate radius of 100 kms around the crash point would be destroyed If it crashed into the ocean then just imagine the worlds biggest tsunami and times it by two-four
You guys are so clueless it hurts my brain. The mass of a star destroyer is alot smaller than an asteroid and by FAR. It would probably feel like a nuclear bomb was dropped when it crashes but that's all. If it would crash on japan, for example, people in europe, america etc wouldnt feel anything. Don't forget that it wouldnt crash as fast as an asteroid... except if you mean crashing on earth while being at the speed of light, then earth would become an asteroid belt lol.
Glad you clarified that this explanation about the A-wings was Legends. As soon as you said AFTER the Battle of Yavin, my head just spun in its chair trying to figure out what I'd just heard.
Nice guy Han updates his precious ship to be more accommodating for his new wife. "Han was low-key hinting that she should cook for him, no wonder his marriage didn't survive!" Even 0.5 past lightspeed couldn't save the poor guy from the gender roles debate.
The food on the Millennium Falcon was a protein-vitamins-mineral-carbohydrate paste. Having a kitchen installed wasn't about sexism, it was about having the option to eat a good meal.
He added a kitchen so what they have droids to cook you fools. Han and chewie lived off MREs and ration packs most of the time. Oooh gender that morons.
Leaving the covers off equipment in order to obtain easier access to repeat maintenance/repairs will always happen, now and in the distant future. Claims like "It not really needed", "Its quicker", and "It works better this way" will always be a staple for technicians, mechanics and repair personal.
as he said, there currently isn't enough Canon info to go on. A-wings in canon have actually been around since around the first empire day (Canon novel Ahsoka) and we still don't have their current backstory.
It's the R-22 Spearhead, It was around for a while before Battle of Yavin (BoY) and (apparently) got nicknamed the A wing by some pilots, the Rebels decided they needed a faster fighter so they (in Disney canon) modified the R-22 design and gave it the designation of A-Wing. I say Disney just liked the design and wanted to use it in Rebels to differentiate them from the Rebels who used the X and Y-wings. From Wookiepedia starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R-22_Spearhead
The Tantive IV was a Correlian corvette and not the only one of its kind. There were dozens in the rebellion with three seen in Starwars Rebels and two in Rouge one. Don't forget the Dawnstar and Rouge squadron itself.
I love how hammerhead corvettes appeared by magic in rogue one to fit the plot. That's when movies can piss me off a bit lol (by that i mean inventing stuff out of nowhere just to become a plot device).
The Rebels also used Trade Federation Lukerhall-class vessels and even used CIS Providence-class capital ships too. Would’ve been awesome to see the Rebels use these vessels in “Disney Canon.”
In SW: Empire at War it is said that the rebels stole the X-Wings from Fresia, and before of that they have been using Z-95s. In Rebels we don't know how the rebels got the X-Wings, but we know that A-Wings were used before of them. EDIT: so we can assume that Cpt. Antilles was leading an A-Wing squadron instead of piloting the sundered heart when he attacked the Kuat shipyards
When I played Rebellion tabletop with expansion a Star Destroyer of mine was destroyed by a Corellian. Corvette. With such performance I am not amazed rebels were so daring.
My favourite rebel ship is the DP-20 Gunship. I mean, it's smaller, faster, more maneuverable en better armed than the CR90. Also, the Y-Wing. It is the perfect combination of Fighter and Bomber that you need in a guerrilla. If I am a rebel officer and I have to raid an imperial ground base protected by one ISD and some light cruisers, my fleet would be: 1x Nebulon-B Frigate, as command ship 2x DP-20 Gunships, as artillery and picket ships 15x Y-Wing Bombers, To carry bombing runs on the ISD with ion torpedoes 5x A-Wing Fighters, to engage imperial fighters and Ghazanti Cruisers 2x GR-75 Transports, to raid the imperial base
Great video, i had always wondered why we didn't see a lot of tech taken from the days of the Republic, a lot of equipment left or littered all over the galaxy as we saw in Rebels?
Star Wars Rebels is Canon, Phoenix squadrons main fighter is the A-Wing, they existed before the Battle of Yavin. Phoenix squadron also tested the B-Wing Prototype, and was involved in stealing Y-Wings that eventually became parts of Gold and Green Squadrons (that were seen at Scarif and Yavin). We have yet seen them acquire X-Wings but the Season 4 trailer shows Hera leading an X-Wing squadron so they will get them.
Darn it I'm such a star wars nerd, I know the origins of most ships in star wars and mostly everything about star wars itself, it's just such a great franchise
There probably aren't sources, I imagine there were either stolen (as they were often used by the empire) or perhaps some were donated by planets that had some in their inventory.
I pretty much enjoy the hammerhead-class, but my favourite (although not a rebel ship due to its era), is the bigger cruiser version from Knignts Of The Old Republic (a good example of this being the famous Endar Spire)
I always liked the Z-95 Headhunter and Not just because of the name alone. It hit harder flew faster and was cooler looking then the X-wing. the only drawback was It didn't have jump capability like the X-wing. But the years in service and ease of flight and maintenance, makes it a very valuable ship for anyone who owns them.
Back in the 80s there were comics on the old wars between the Sith and jedi and at one point the Sith controlled most of the galaxy and the jedi were regulated to these huge jedi training ships that looked like the quasar class cruises but big enough to stuff a small mountain range in and they had a ball in front of it. Where the docks for the ties were for large freight ships to dock.
great history. I played Kingdom Hearts 2 where you had the option to make you own spaceship, and I ended up creating my own version of the Falcon. I had the body of the Falcon with the "wings" of a tie fighter. I called it the "Millennium Tie Falcon", which proved to be very power full
You left out like 9 other people who stole the Falcon from a prior owner, AND the orgional owner. That ship's history is HILARIOUS. It may actualy be cursed to wind up stolen.
Millenium Falcon: It was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, and repeat. We love the inventor of Ctl+C + Ctl+V
I still can't get past how a rebellion is able to get fighters which are extremely more powerful (and certainly expensive) than their imperial counterparts and still manage to have them in decent numbers
Generation Tech Then why the fuck would you bring it up? When something like that happens cannon takes over. You confused way too many people trying to be a legends fanboy.
You know that the Tantive 4 isn't the only ship of that kind they used, there were a ton of corvette class cruisers. You also left out a lot of ships, even if your just doing the most popular ships science there are a lot, you missed a ton.
I can't find a lot of information on the Marauder class ships. Maybe you guys could do a video? They carried a fighter type that had a large bubble cockpit. Not much info on that ether. Thanks for the great stuff you do.
I like phenix squadrons modified BX-100 (the Ghost) partly because of its iligale modifications to hide from the Empire while in hyperspace and it's a small ship gone mad.
How does it not make sense. Seeing as the entire squadron just got wiped out, explains why they have none at Scariff or Yavin IV in ANH. So easily they can build new ones after BoY and legends can continue if they so choose.
My favourite Star Wars ship is definitely the X- Wing. I mean, they are fast, durable and far more agile than a TIE fighter. If I had the chance to be a fighter pilot, the X- Wing would undoubtedly be my fighter if choice.
Same place the Empire did. The Alliance and the Empire were, prior to Alderaan, basically the same thing. The Alliance was the Senate trying to end Sidious' dictatorship and the Empire was Sidious' New Order. They all ruled the same planets, owned and shopped at the same businesses and used the same shipyards (the X-Wing for example was an Imperial design that lost out to the cheaper TIE). After Alderaan there was a genuine split/war on the scale of the CIS but that didn't change any of the tech.
You guys should do a Sabacc play through (provided the game can even be played with traditional cards) and maybe do the variant Han and Lando played for the falcon.
Canon: There's never any confirmation how many Y-Wings the Rebellion had, and at least some of them were "liberated" from an Imperial station where they were being dismantled for scrap. (Rebels S3, ep1) It's possible that was their entire compliment of Y-Wings. Given the state of them at that station, it's possible they never had the outer hulls to reattach anyway. (And why would they leave off part of the freaking armor?)
That single raid wasn't their entire compliment obviously, they only ended up getting something like six, I think, yet many were destroyed later in the season or at Scarif, and there were still 8 at Yavin, along with presumably hundreds more used later (only one Y-Wing survived). I imagine partially it was from other scrapping stations, but they also explained most of your inquiries in the video.
What does speed and weight mean in orbital combat? There is no atmosphere and limited gravity so the considerations are acceleration, maneuverability, piloting control and targeting systems. If you're firing plasma you'd think that combat would occur at (literally) astronomical distances.
Wasn't there an episode of Rebels when they stole Y-Wings from a planet where they were being decommissioned and dismantled?
SFtheGreat s3 ep 2
cannon vs legends I guess
@@BumAssNigga408 it's canon because Disney produced and confirmed the rebels series is canon
@@thunderusnight I was talking about the lore the video cited as being legends and rebels being cannon
And that other carriers
"Call up a hammerhead corvette i have an idea"
This is admiral raddus of the rebel alliance. All squadron leaders report in.
Admiral this red squadron standing by
Green squadron standing by
Ass squadron standing by, I have a thicc ass.
Grey Squadron, standing by
B wings have an interesting orign story as well
I think the Falcon needs a better anti-theft system XD
Zed.0 so true
What the hell is an aluminum Falcon?
I machined a slot car for a class, and I painted it silver and cut out "Aluminum Falcon" and put it on the hood. I'll post a picture some day.
Whose they?
Lol
That thing wasn’t even fully paid off yet
Lol
My reaction?
The rebels steal ships like it was GTA.
Man i would love to see on screen the Moncalamari ships taking off and the reaction of the imperials, maybe Rebels should do that but Rebels never do anything good (except for Trawn...kinda) -_-
You forgot the imperial shuttle Tyderium that were stolen by rebel scums and brought rebel terrorists to the Endor moon
Handled like a school bus too.
Jennifer Brewer I blame the wookie... Those ships arnt made for those hairy beasts
Tiberian ?
FionaOfMountLawley its not C&C 😂
Lambda-class shuttle ,my god is this ship sexy
Correction: Han and Leia were married for 30+ years and they had 3 kids...yeah, I'm sticking it to Disney on this.
The only thing Disney has done right is creating Rogue One
It makes sense now. Kylo is Jacen, Rey is Jaina, and Anakin may or may not appear in some form in future films.
Rey and Kylo Ren are siblings
I think it was around 24, though it's possible they were divorced earlier or later. I really can't remember to be honest.
In both legends and cannon though one of their kids turned Sith.
ummm so this is a bit of continuity error the a-wing is being used prior to the battle of yavin by pheonix squadron 2:10 but was designed after the battle of yavin 2:20
Lucifer He said it was legends
it gets worse, A-wings were used in the second year of the empire, as seen in the Canon Ahsoka novel, not long after the first Empire day, about 1-3 months after.
Yeah, he was just using legends for no apparent reason. Should have just left that bit out. None of that info matters anymore.
there is a way to rectify this. the pre yavin a wings could have been an earlier model than the ones used at Endor.this could be following the same concept. we see the earlier a-wing with phoenix squadron and other "diplomatic" groups. we also see in rebels that y wings were stolen from scrap yards and other such facilities.
well that is Disney for ya they don't care what they fuck up only what makes them $$$$$$$$$$$ money
I think it's a combination of stealing ships, buying them from the black market, buying them from friendly planets that aren't fully under the control of the empire, or buying them under disguise (like Bail Organa buying some ships for Alderaan, then giving them to the rebel alliance). I also assume they have some level of industrial capability, considering many worlds in the outer rim aren't under the control of the galactic republic, and they could also go to scrapyards and refurbish some old ships.
My favorite Rebel vessel is the B-wing. As for Imperial, it would be the Tie Defender.
You should do a video about what would happen if a super star destroyer crashed into the Earth. Just like it did with the death star in return of the Jedi
Probably kill everything living on it and plunge the planet into darkness for a few decades or a century or two.
Given the Executor and other Star Dreadnoughts (SSD) are around 19km in length, it would be like an asteroid hitting the earth surface, as well the detonation of the ships solar ion reactors and munitions stores, it would probably cause an near extension level event, and quite possibly alter the planet's gravitational axis, either is very, very bad or at the very least plunge our little mud ball into a nuclear winter for several decades and release tons of radioactive material into out atmosphere.
It would destroy everything. The only reason it didn't with the Death Star II was due to the advanced and heavy shields.
It would be like the Ravager (The last Super star destroyer) in the battle of Jakku, Jakku wasn't destroyed, it all depends on the way it crashed.
Nose first: Well if it crashed in Africa then about half the continent would be screwed, but if it crashed belly first into the ground only a approximate radius of 100 kms around the crash point would be destroyed

Don't forget that it wouldnt crash as fast as an asteroid... except if you mean crashing on earth while being at the speed of light, then earth would become an asteroid belt lol.
also my favorite rebel ship has to be the Lusankya which was a captured executor class SSD
Glad you clarified that this explanation about the A-wings was Legends. As soon as you said AFTER the Battle of Yavin, my head just spun in its chair trying to figure out what I'd just heard.
Nice guy Han updates his precious ship to be more accommodating for his new wife. "Han was low-key hinting that she should cook for him, no wonder his marriage didn't survive!" Even 0.5 past lightspeed couldn't save the poor guy from the gender roles debate.
Han chose to marry a Princess, LOL. He had to expect certain quirks. Besides, when would Leia have had time to even learn to cook?
Plus the ship was a rust bucket held together only by duck tape and luck.
There's a rumor that after the "kitchen incident," Leia dumped Han in less than 12 parsecs....
The food on the Millennium Falcon was a protein-vitamins-mineral-carbohydrate paste. Having a kitchen installed wasn't about sexism, it was about having the option to eat a good meal.
He added a kitchen so what they have droids to cook you fools. Han and chewie lived off MREs and ration packs most of the time. Oooh gender that morons.
The Mon Calamari ships were just buildings from their old cities, which is frickin awesome.
Leaving the covers off equipment in order to obtain easier access to repeat maintenance/repairs will always happen, now and in the distant future. Claims like "It not really needed", "Its quicker", and "It works better this way" will always be a staple for technicians, mechanics and repair personal.
Oh, It’s this guy,
Great!
The rebels tv show takes place before the battle of yavin so if the a wungs are made after that why are they in the show?
as he said, there currently isn't enough Canon info to go on. A-wings in canon have actually been around since around the first empire day (Canon novel Ahsoka) and we still don't have their current backstory.
Could be a prototype the Rebels were only just starting to use in combat.
Not prototypes. They had an entire squadron.
Hazz Because Disney dosent give a fuck
It's the R-22 Spearhead, It was around for a while before Battle of Yavin (BoY) and (apparently) got nicknamed the A wing by some pilots, the Rebels decided they needed a faster fighter so they (in Disney canon) modified the R-22 design and gave it the designation of A-Wing. I say Disney just liked the design and wanted to use it in Rebels to differentiate them from the Rebels who used the X and Y-wings.
From Wookiepedia starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R-22_Spearhead
The nebulon B is great. seeing as it's an imperial ship but you only ever see it being used by the rebels
Han retrofitted the Falcon with some engines from an Imperial ship and reinforced the entire ship so it wouldn't fall apart.
The Tantive IV was a Correlian corvette and not the only one of its kind. There were dozens in the rebellion with three seen in Starwars Rebels and two in Rouge one. Don't forget the Dawnstar and Rouge squadron itself.
I love how hammerhead corvettes appeared by magic in rogue one to fit the plot. That's when movies can piss me off a bit lol (by that i mean inventing stuff out of nowhere just to become a plot device).
Where's the B-Wing?!!
Except that, it was a nice video :) Longue Vie à la Rébellion!
The Y Wing is my favorite.
So the Millennium Falcon was essentially a souped-up TUGBOAT? No wonder everyone calls it junk when they first see it.
No mention of mon calamari cruisers or nebulon b frigates. Also Tantive IV was a corellian corvette, which the alliance had many of.
The Rebels also used Trade Federation Lukerhall-class vessels and even used CIS Providence-class capital ships too. Would’ve been awesome to see the Rebels use these vessels in “Disney Canon.”
Hans millienum falcon has a bit of story about who owned it
What about the B wing and the U wing? they were used in major battles like Endor and Scarif.
Installing a kitchen on the millennium falcon as a gift is like giving a broom as a gift. You jus don’t do that hahahaha
In SW: Empire at War it is said that the rebels stole the X-Wings from Fresia, and before of that they have been using Z-95s.
In Rebels we don't know how the rebels got the X-Wings, but we know that A-Wings were used before of them.
EDIT: so we can assume that Cpt. Antilles was leading an A-Wing squadron instead of piloting the sundered heart when he attacked the Kuat shipyards
Yeah that game is a far better source than other legends sources. That's the story I've always agreed to trust.
Nice thumbnail!
5:48 what about the ebon hawk.
Since when they're got it?? They're never got that because it's drifting to Earth and crash landed on Baltic sea 😂
5:16 shots fired XD
When I played Rebellion tabletop with expansion a Star Destroyer of mine was destroyed by a Corellian. Corvette. With such performance I am not amazed rebels were so daring.
I'm in love with the YT-1300 light fregute.
Every ship is either one of two:
1. Cheap.
2. Stolen.
And if your lucky, it's both!
didn't even Mention the B-wing, U Wing, K wing, E wing, VCX-100, Z-95 and the HWK-290!
z-95 headhunters... oh shitty fighter it is... haha
Thomas Hulks or the vixtory class 1 and 2s and so on
My favourite rebel ship is the DP-20 Gunship. I mean, it's smaller, faster, more maneuverable en better armed than the CR90.
Also, the Y-Wing. It is the perfect combination of Fighter and Bomber that you need in a guerrilla.
If I am a rebel officer and I have to raid an imperial ground base protected by one ISD and some light cruisers, my fleet would be:
1x Nebulon-B Frigate, as command ship
2x DP-20 Gunships, as artillery and picket ships
15x Y-Wing Bombers, To carry bombing runs on the ISD with ion torpedoes
5x A-Wing Fighters, to engage imperial fighters and Ghazanti Cruisers
2x GR-75 Transports, to raid the imperial base
Like to see an ep about experimental TIEs.
the A-Wing was already there before the battle of Yavin for example in rebels
I love the X- Wing!!
the Ghost has become one of my favourites
Great video, i had always wondered why we didn't see a lot of tech taken from the days of the Republic, a lot of equipment left or littered all over the galaxy as we saw in Rebels?
Star Wars Rebels is Canon, Phoenix squadrons main fighter is the A-Wing, they existed before the Battle of Yavin.

We have yet seen them acquire X-Wings but the Season 4 trailer shows Hera leading an X-Wing squadron so they will get them.
Except in the Movie Green Squadron is clearly in Y-Wings.......it is Green that ionizes the ISD.
And Ezra lost a A wing when he went looking for Kenobi. On the bright side he got the Knight Brother (a mandalorian ship) out of it.
The A-wings need to appear at Yavin or Scarif before I believe Disney's backstory for them.
I'm pretty sure there is an A-Wing at the Battle of Scarif if you look closely. It flashes by the screen.
sorry, but for me rebels is not canon, for the moment ;(
I thought one Rebel Cell got a hold of a sqaudron of Y wings after Phoenix Cell stole some from an imperial junkyard
My favorite ship is the B-Wing. I know it's weird looking, but that's part of its charm.
You missed so many more rebel cruisers like the indepdence cruiser
Darn it I'm such a star wars nerd, I know the origins of most ships in star wars and mostly everything about star wars itself, it's just such a great franchise
Where's the nebulon B
There probably aren't sources, I imagine there were either stolen (as they were often used by the empire) or perhaps some were donated by planets that had some in their inventory.
They were originally designed by LADY to protect convoys from rebel scum. So the rebels stole some to raid said convoys.
I pretty much enjoy the hammerhead-class, but my favourite (although not a rebel ship due to its era), is the bigger cruiser version from Knignts Of The Old Republic (a good example of this being the famous Endar Spire)
I always liked the Z-95 Headhunter and Not just because of the name alone. It hit harder flew faster and was cooler looking then the X-wing. the only drawback was It didn't have jump capability like the X-wing. But the years in service and ease of flight and maintenance, makes it a very valuable ship for anyone who owns them.

Where the docks for the ties were for large freight ships to dock.
You should make a "How many times was the Millennium Falcon stolen?" video!
Its pronounced Kay-nan not Ka-nan. Also its Koo-what for Kuat.
Great video!
The hammerhead corvette is my favourite by far
great history. I played Kingdom Hearts 2 where you had the option to make you own spaceship, and I ended up creating my own version of the Falcon. I had the body of the Falcon with the "wings" of a tie fighter. I called it the "Millennium Tie Falcon", which proved to be very power full

Meep Changeling it’s been through a lotta shit
Do a video on the most used spaceship in the rebel Alliance against the most used imperial spaceship
Millenium Falcon: It was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, then it was stolen, and repeat.
We love the inventor of Ctl+C + Ctl+V
You missed the u-wings,gr-75 medium transport,the ef75 nebulon-b frigate,dornean gunships,and the mon calamari star cruisers.
wow.... you didn't mention the Bird of Prey one time :(
HA! I see what you did there.
when you talk about the a-wing, and say "despite the extra weight of a shield generator and hyperdrive".. you're in space...weightless...
Marry Christmas
They had A-wings before any other fighter was in the rebellion
I still can't get past how a rebellion is able to get fighters which are extremely more powerful (and certainly expensive) than their imperial counterparts and still manage to have them in decent numbers
It comes down to tactics, every fighter lost was a huge blow to the rebels so they needed to preserve them.
You said the a wing was designed after the battle of Yavin. Wait didn't you also say they were in Star Wars rebels?!
That story about the A-wing is legends.
Funny Gruny He did he showed em landing on the carrier n then said they were made several years later
Generation Tech Then why the fuck would you bring it up? When something like that happens cannon takes over. You confused way too many people trying to be a legends fanboy.
+HacaPotato Calm down. Canon has no backstory for the A-wing other than that Phoenix Squadron mysteriously got them from somewhere.
And after reading this comments section, I'm betting the origin of the A-wing actually BECOMES legend....
Wait wasn't the A wing in use since the Ashoka novel? In the book she says that Bail Organa sent several A wings to help free the planet she was on.
Make a part 2.
1:53 the word is "commandeered" when taken from an enemy force for the purpose of use in military operations it was commandeered.
You know that the Tantive 4 isn't the only ship of that kind they used, there were a ton of corvette class cruisers. You also left out a lot of ships, even if your just doing the most popular ships science there are a lot, you missed a ton.
Pheonix home.
Funny Gruny *COUGH* Dornean Gunship *COUGH*
Funny Gruny,Yea i was surprised that he didn't mention the:B-wing,Nebulon B or any of the mon calamari ships.
He mentioned the Hammerheads, and all ships they used had to have appeared in Canon
He specificly Said at the end of the vid that he left out some ships and that we should not write about it in the comments
I can't find a lot of information on the Marauder class ships. Maybe you guys could do a video? They carried a fighter type that had a large bubble cockpit. Not much info on that ether. Thanks for the great stuff you do.
My Favorite Ships are the Mon Calamari Cruisers, and the X-wings
One of my favorite rebel ship is the Nebulon B Frigates.
The star vipers were awesome legend starfighters
I like phenix squadrons modified BX-100 (the Ghost) partly because of its iligale modifications to hide from the Empire while in hyperspace and it's a small ship gone mad.
wait wasnt the A-wing used before battle of yavin, you see it in rebels
There is very little A-wing backstory in the new Canon, and the Legends one just makes more sense.
Rebels? You mean Disney's shitty attempt at making new canon?
That lame horrible show, yes.
How does it not make sense. Seeing as the entire squadron just got wiped out, explains why they have none at Scariff or Yavin IV in ANH. So easily they can build new ones after BoY and legends can continue if they so choose.
That was R-22 Spearhead
My favourite Star Wars ship is definitely the X- Wing. I mean, they are fast, durable and far more agile than a TIE fighter. If I had the chance to be a fighter pilot, the X- Wing would undoubtedly be my fighter if choice.

You guys should do a Sabacc play through (provided the game can even be played with traditional cards) and maybe do the variant Han and Lando played for the falcon.
My favorite is the mon calamari Mc80 cruiser. The Home 01 version.
My favorite is the a-wing, only for its speed
*Old, easily stealable spaceships exists
Rebels: bibity bopity, your ship is now my property!
This came to mind for some reason:
Anakin: lost hands
Luke: lost hand
Leia: lost han
A-wing is my fave.
Man. It's hard to pick a favorite. Of course the _Falcon_ is awesome, the fighters are sweet, and I'm a _huuuuuge_ Quasar Fire fan.
Canon: There's never any confirmation how many Y-Wings the Rebellion had, and at least some of them were "liberated" from an Imperial station where they were being dismantled for scrap. (Rebels S3, ep1) It's possible that was their entire compliment of Y-Wings.

That single raid wasn't their entire compliment obviously, they only ended up getting something like six, I think, yet many were destroyed later in the season or at Scarif, and there were still 8 at Yavin, along with presumably hundreds more used later (only one Y-Wing survived). I imagine partially it was from other scrapping stations, but they also explained most of your inquiries in the video.
B-Wing for the win
where is the b wing star fighter
Glaring omission - B-Wing.
The hammerhead corvets all the way. There has to be a reason a thousands of years old design is still in use.
The B-wing...
What does speed and weight mean in orbital combat? There is no atmosphere and limited gravity so the considerations are acceleration, maneuverability, piloting control and targeting systems. If you're firing plasma you'd think that combat would occur at (literally) astronomical distances.
Dash Rendar's Outrider :D or like how Juno Eclipse was the captain of the Salvation. ? :D
