    Star Wars was inspired by the World Wars in particular the Second World War, and that naval battle revolutionize how it will be fought for the rest of the century, with Carriers replacing the Dreadnoughts that dominated the seas and displayed the strength of the nations that fought in it. Though considering that Star Wars has a problem with scaling its conflicts in their lore books and especially in the Clone Wars with its units sizes and number of ships that the Republic had.

    Addendum: In a narrative note, traditional animation can give such space battles pure, unadulterated justice even compared to the CGI elements of live action storylines like The Expanse and animated works like TCW 2008. Besides, the likes of anime like the Universal Century iterations of Gundam and even Western animation like Exo-Squad have already done well with such action packed sequences.

      A similar maneuver was actually in the X-Wing books. Tycho's signature tactic was to bank his fighter so that it 'skidded' and turned around to shoot the guy chasing him.
      There are several other tactics discussed on that series, as well as Thrawn Trillogy, where the standard imperial doctrine called for turning the ship so that its hangar pointed away from the attackers, to shield the start of the fighters. The same book also talks about an enveloping maneuver, where fighters would fan out and approach from all around, basically creating a sphere formation.

    • @mattd5857
      @mattd5857 Год назад +15

      if you are referring to the movie battles it's a result of those specific battles. In RotS the Battle of Couruscant is a complete mess when we see it because the CIS fleet used secret hyperlanes to bypass the Republic defense fleet, meaning the defenders had to scramble to reposition and try to catch the enemy ships that were swarming the capital. At the point the film starts the CIS is trying to retreat with their prisoners and cause as much collateral damage on their way out all the while being dogpiled by Republic fleets arriving as reinforcements. As such utter chaos.
      In RotJ Lando and Ackbar narrate the stages of the battle pretty well. The Rebels arrive and make a push towards the Death Star but end up discovering the ruse and that the shields were still up. At this point the Empire's fleet launches it's fighters to engage the rebels while the fleet itself moves to stop the Rebels from fleeing the way they arrived. Once the Death Star starts firing on the Rebel fleet Lando urges Ackbar to order a charge at the Imperial fleet so that the Death Star won't be able to keep blasting the rebel capital ships without risking collateral damage to their own ships. Thus we end up with the close range scrum near the end of the battle with ships everywhere.

      Over Corcuscant it was largely because the CIS navy was holding over their forces on the surface regardless of what the Republic navy was throwing into the fight. If they attempted to maintain a cohesive formation away from the enemy that would involve giving up orbit to the Republic and dooming Grevious. As a result by the time we see the fight it's already almost over, it's the CIS forces being, in essence, totally overrun.
      The other really huge fleet battle in the movies is Endor. It is also chaos because the Rebellion dog piled into the Imperial fleet to complicate the Death Star 2's firing solution.

      Laser cannons are for point defense

      Ion cannons are for disabling ships and getting rid of shields
      Missiles depending on the type can be used for anything from disabling ships to destroying them they come in different types and yields but mainly are used as anti-capital ship ordinance and bombing planets.
      Proton torpedos are strictly used for destroying ships and space stations.

    Star Wars, BSG, Expanse, Star Trek are all so very different. What's your favorite style of space battles? Maybe you can make a top ten? It's a toughie - some look cool, some are realistic, creative, or have an interesting theme or premise. I still gotta give it to the Lost Fleet, despite the soft scifi handwaving in things like shields and inertial dampeners, despite the (seemingly intentional) 90s action movie in space vibe, each in-universe rule and battle builds on the previous in a way that feels natural, instead of contrived for a cheap twist and thrill. It very effective creates its own charming little bubble of realism.

    Can you do a video commenting your opnion about how Dave Filoni developed the Jedi in clone wars as an institution that made big mistakes and if that deviated from what George Lucas developed the jedi to symbolically represent in history? Do you think this "subversion" ended up working and giving the story the depth it needed? Do you think that George Lucas already raised this question, but didn't develop it in the story of the Prequels because that wasn't the focus of the plot?

      True.
      And it's bad.
      I was initially excited about how scientifically accurate the show was (imaginary aliens aside).
      In fact, the whole reason I started watching it is that it was heavily promoted by a science channel I follow.
      I always thought that you could do hard sci-fi and make it good.
      The overexcited fans told me that this was proof you could do hard sci-fi and make it good.
      But then *_The Expanse_* convinced me otherwise.
      Dead guys with magnetic boots just standing there in Zero-G like macabre zombie dolls and providing cover for those who are still alive in a shoot out was *THE ONLY* time them being scientifically accurate provided a minor plot point that was interesting.
      And that lasted a second.
      The rest of it is just:
      - either limitations to the story, making some scenes much less cool than they could be because of a misguided need to be faithful to the current limitations of human technology;
      - or pointless physics lessons that add nothing to the story;
      - or even real plot points that are very bad and detract from the story's overall quality.
      Killing off a beloved main character by aneurism / heart attack / whatever after using the fast spaceship travel, while absolutely scientifically possible, is a total narrative suicide.
      In normal movies and shows set on Earth, you never have one core member of the cast killed off in a car accident (that was truly an accident, and not suicide or homicide) for no reason.
      Sure, it *COULD* happen.
      But normal writers don't feel the need to educate us on the fact that car accidents could happen, and they certainly don't dumb down their plots to do so.
      To quote Benoit Blanc, it's not "so dumb it's genius"... it's just dumb.
      And you're all a bunch of Birdie Jays. 😅

  • @Uberdude6666
    @Uberdude6666 Год назад

    My biggest problem with space battles in the movies is that they are so chaotic and seemingly devoid of tactics. The only "proper" space battles with big capital ships on both sides we see in the movies are the start of Revenge of the Sith and the battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi (I think?)
    In Revenge of the Sith, the fact that the space battle for Courucant was so chaotic because the Separatists came out of nowhere and the Republic had to throw in reinforcements piecemeal as quickly as possible, so that it all devolved into a moshpit of ships fighting at much closer range than usual, was not really communicated very well to the viewers... For most movie-viewers, that is just the only instance of space combat they have seen, so they don't have a less chaotic space battle to compare it to. That's why I like the Clone Wars space battles better...
    The battle of Endor is fine in terms of explaining why things go down the way they do. The rebels move their big ships to point blank-range against the star destroyers in order to protect them against the death star. No problem. I just wish we had seen more combat-action from the Mon Calamari cruisers and other Rebel-capital ships in that battle... But, that's 1983 special effects-limitations for you, I guess?

      In space, your top speed is lightspeed, so acceleration is more important than actual speed. Until friction with the aether gets to you, that is...
      But it might be a good idea to just ignore the numbers that people come up with, as those people seem to care more about the size of the numbers than whether they make sense.

      So, flying backwards isn't actually that bad of an idea, especially in a dogfight where you'll be basically on a straight line to your enemy, pass them, then need to turn. If you turn and stay on that same path, it's really smart and allows you to immediately begin thrust and firing at the enemy

  • @jeffreycarman2185

    It’s probably extremely hard to really do those large space battles in a coherent movie. Star Wars has always focused on the stories of individual combatants so, until The Clone Wars cartoon series, that is. The Clone Wars gave us more access to strategies, but these strategies were not well developed or executed (on screen or in the screenwriter’s room) in the show and come off as very amateur more often then not.

  • @khandimahn9687

    Star Wars works on the rule of cool. Space battles are there to get the audience excited. Combat tactics are based mostly on WWII here on earth than any consideration for realism in space. And that's fine. Sometimes I just want to be entertained. Most of the audience don't care about G-forces, inertia, I could go on. But done well, realism can be exciting also. And, to me at least, realism adds tension that you just can't get without it. Just watch the battles in The Expanse to see what realistic space combat can be like.

    Space bombers fighter plaes were used to destroy engines, or in the case of morons who welded shield stuff to the outside of the armor, bombe them.
    No that's wrong,
    in the case of star destroyers, concussive missile were enough. NO, not proton torpedoes (stronger, more powerfull than concussion missiles)
    If you take down the sheilds, you can shoot guns and comand bridges.
    Figheters were super effective.
    THe bombers could have bombers fly in a line and drop their payload one at a time in a line, causing a line of bombs that drilled all the way down through the armoe, throguh the hull, deep inot the ship until hitting and destroying targets like sheild generators or fuel containers.

    • @matthiuskoenig3378
      @matthiuskoenig3378 Год назад

      Lol no. We never see fighters do that on screen.
      Read the script for revenge of the sith, the fighters destroy sensors after the shields were taken out.
      Not a single capital ship is taken out by fighters in the movies. And the dialogue supports the idea that fighters were mostly useless against large ships. The death star is said to be unusual due to its single weakspot over looked by the empire.
      If fighters and bombers were thag effective against star destroyers then the rebels wouldn't of had to build that giant ion cannon they had in empire strikes back.
      The fact if the matter is fighters are useless against a shielded capital ship and only can do minor damage after shields are down, bombers are a threat but only a minor one due to point defense, fighter screens and shields.

    Turbolasers are powerful, until they aren't like the time Thrawn bombarded the Lothal Rebels, then they were more like mortar bombardments. Honestly there are as many examples of turbolasers being weaker then ww1 artillery as there are with them destroying asteroids like they were nothing.
    They are as strong as the plot.

      So, we're not going to acknowledge the Destruction of Pammant from Legends, which established that hyperspace ramming could be catastrophic to planets? The following is taken directly from the Wookieepedia article.
      "The underground factories on the planet Pammant had been utilized throughout the Wars for Separatist warship production.
      "That came to an end when the Republic Praetor-class Star Battlecruiser Quaestor's hyperdrive was damaged by torpedo droids and an unintended jump to hyperspace occurred, causing the Quaestor to collide with the planet, fracturing it to its core and polluting the atmosphere with radiation."
      I love takes like these, because I can tell which people are sheeping.

But they are able to park in orbit and fire on land targets while being hundreds if not thousands of kilometers away.....makes no sense then why battles are taken place while capital ships are hundreds to thousand of kilometers away instead of HAVING to be with a 2km range. Oh, and can't travel in a three dimensiol way either.
