Yes but what they forget to mention is bullets can not penetrate stormtrooper armor thats why sand people when using slugthrowers for example have to get a very lucky shot in the eye piece or a opening the of the armor which was not common also the E11 could fire full auto or semi and also be fully moded
@@cyberfux blaster bolts are higher tech than modern bullets and plastoid armor effectively nullifies any physical bullet, that we know of.(at any caliber) Thats why plastoid armor is used by the empire so yes it would Now say a tank shell were hit a stormtrooper the armor wouldnt be damaged but in saying that it would kill the human behind it do to shockwave or blunt force impact
And here's why you look back and are here's what we have done to aliens Yeah I don't think our trust would be that way like you're thinking it's in fact it's gonna be the military that will have the odds turned against the galactic Empire to where they will turn against the Galactic Empire I mean think about it this is not like the military will let themselves get stumped here I say the US military wins.
The problem is if we convincingly beat the Empire's ground troops, they'd view us as a potential threat like the Mandalorians, and wipe us out from orbit (not that I think we'd win anyway).
nah bro i don’t care what your amour is if your a human and a 30-06 hits you your either dead or on the ground in pain besides once we know they’re coming we’ll have a nice little display of plutonium fireworks ready for them
@@Slavicplayer251I don’t think a nuclear bomb would really do much to a star destroyer honestly. The largest nuke ever detonated by humans, the tsar bomba, had around 50 megatons of force. A heavy Turbo laser in Star Wars can max out at 200 giga tons of force (which I do think is kind of stupid, it should be around like 5 megatons a shot realistically), and star destroyer shields can take barrages of thousands of shots from other ships for hours
The whole "once we get a single hyperdrive or intact battleship, humanity would just roll across the Empire" is genuinely a subplot in the Animorphs book series.
@@pooperdooper3576 a very good kid's book series from the late 90's. It's out of print now, but the author has given her full permission for people to share it for free, so there's pdfs very easily available online. Give the first few a read if you want, they're quite short books.
@@dillont8750 the main series takes place mostly on earth, but one of the main reasons for the plot to happen in the first place is that humanity is like ten years from creating hyperlight travel and less than two from discovering FTL-communication. Both major factions of the war (Yeerks and Andalites) reckon humanity would dominate the battlefield once they get advanced technology and are trying to control how, when, and from who humans get said technology.
Empire: "Nooooo you can't just hide in every terrain and use slugthrowers that are prohibited by intergalactic treaties!!!" Earth: *fortunate son intensifies*
@@nicosd3017 "OOooooh Whatchu gonna do Empire? Cut off our supply lines? That's *cute*" **Fires ICBMs into orbit, the nuclear detonations obfuscating scanners and the EMPs possibly even disabling the fleet.
Alyss Mathrin that’s a fair point, but tbh, I don’t, they’re probably advanced past the point that anything but a direct hit is insignificant. Not that we couldn’t bombard them with the several thousand held in stores across the world.
Imagine invading a strange backwater planet not found on star charts that just so happens to have one of the largest pop culture followings of _The Entire History of Your Own Galaxy_
Imagine if they discovered us in the late republic or early empire or something and just wondered 'how tf do these backwater populations not only know the history of our whole galaxy but also know the next hundred years of the future of our whole galaxy'
Im just imagining that when earth and the empire go to war there is meeting room with some government officials, military generals/admirals, and then a bunch of star wars nerds discussing how to defeat the empire with the star wars nerds leading the whole conversation as they know nearly everything about the empire and then become internationally recognized heroes because their habits of watching every star wars movie, tv show, and reading every comic/book multiple times were the saving grace of our survival as a society.
Greater Terran Union: sees that the Star Destroyer has blatant flaws. Also Greater Terran Union: remakes the ISD to be better than its Imperial counterpart, adding hundreds of stronger weapons, thousands of space fighters, etc. Galactic Empire: you were not supposed to do that.
@@danielm.595 Not only does the GTU destroy worlds, they'll take the remains of it and use it to build up their massive war machine or they're ambitious building projects.

Greater Terran Union: *rebuild the star destroyer like a Battlestar, improve every system and tech to fit with a real well prepared army, built dozen of ship, arm everyone with nuclear hyperspace counterpart of an ICBM and cruise missiles, play pigeon shooting with the imperial army, never try to get a fuck to the rebels"
@@Tracer_Krieg Hmm, their art is varied and complex, with many overarching themes that are later subverted once the work's details are studied. This indicates a sophisticated intelligence and pragmatic nature that in my estimation we would do well to not underestimate. I do not think that a military approach would be our best course of action, perhaps something more political such as befriending their more hardline elements. I suggest we make contact with one of their leaders, someone that commands great respect among a small but vocal subset of their culture for irrational reasons, and bolster his rule. We can then slowly subvert his authority and replace it with our own, thus imposing the Emperor's will, and I have the perfect candidate (revealing a picture of Donald Trump). -Grand Admiral Thrawn, probably
I think the problem with the imperial military is that it was originally conceptualized to be futuristic. *IN THE 70s* Of course they would be trash by modern standards
@@ofthecaribbean they could nuke the world in our orbit, they didn't even need to approach our missiles range, or they can tank it with their force shield
@@Shackospeare Galactic Empire (or any other faction featured in starwars universe) entirely lacks ANY BVR (beyond visual range) combat capabilities. Which is pethetic by modern earth military standards.
Imagine the confusion of the SW Galaxy by the sudden disappearance of the empire. Also by their terms of surrender as said in the video, is it referring to Coruscant surrendering????
You mean 'Planet of the Space Orks'. Honestly, it's just a different focus on the tech tree. They figured out how to get around in the most efficient way possible. We figured out how to kill each other in the most efficient way possible. I honestly believe that we already have the capability to create hyperdrives, it's just that the farmers don't want their cattle to run away from them.
Easy. Massive nuclear and hacking attacks. Decades laters every nation on the world has Star wars technology and now the United Nation is the only earth goverment bent on conquering the Empire.
Also something that would impress the Empire are the suicide soldiers. No Empire soldier would voluntarly comit suicide. But Kamikazes,Jihadist,Fanatics all over the world would harass and instill fear in any Empire soldier
The empire most likely wouldn't even need to invade. An incredibly powerful and and technologically advanced power shows up one day and offers friendship and protection for any force allied with them? Planetary governments would be falling over themselves to ally themselves with the empire to get a leg up on their regional rivals.
Exactly. Earth would gain tech and Empire would get superior military personnel and better designs for using that tech. Win - win. No need for a bloody conflict.
Verrikan the thing is that I think the empire would try to assimilate the human population of earth until our cultural as a whole is completely gone. The majority of humanity would NOT be ok with that and would probably much rather have it’s independence.
I doubt that we would allow ourselves to be annexed. What government in history has let itself be annexed because someone showed up with a fancy toy. I also don't think the empire would even try to take Earth. To them we just some backwater planet. If they did want Earth they would just try walking in and taking it and considering the Empire's arrogance they would likely blunder into a nuke.
Admiral Thrawn would be so impressed that he'd employ Earth forces as mercenary army in exchange for their Autonomy and tech, which Earth government would probably happily accept instead of an all out war.
Yeah we are a planet with different climates it a perfect place for training and military forces human government has different tactic skills and ways to fight
I honestly think Thrawn might bail on the Empire, he seems endlessly unhappy with how bumbling and terrible they are. Seeing a more cohesive, disciplined and tactical force, he might see the writing on the wall and realize that Earth would be a better ally to the Chiss than the Empire. I'm sure he'd be thrilled at what our engineers do with the tech salvaged off of all the Imperial junk that gets blasted out of the sky.
@@Redlionreal5649 You never know, despite how inane memes can seem at times each does have a story and deeper meaning behind it. It can be really engrossing to go down the rabbit hole on how a meme grew to what it is. Besides, every culture will have good and bad art, and much of that is in the eye of the beholder. Thrawn seems more interested in the art for what it can teach about the creator than any perceived inherent quality anyhow.
If the Galactic Empire attacked Earth, George Lucas would probably find himself in some CIA office explaining the specifics of every single piece of Imperial equipment 😂
They were in the hills man and if they weren’t in the hills. The cities filled the valleys with their concrete buildings. Every intersection became a firefight. -George, A stormtrooper deployed in Japan.
A bunch of disadvantages the Empire has come from the fear-philosophy. The Storm-Troopers are not designed to not be seen. They are supposed to be seen and feared. Another example of this looks-over-practicallity mentality is the Star Destroyer design were the put the bridge, one of the most vital stations, on top of everything else were it was visible to everyone and very attackable. Much of the Empire's design choices says: "You have to fear us. We don't have to fear you. We are right here and you can't do anything about it."
Those aren't disadvantages if they work. Which they do. The empire lasted for almost twenty years, and though never peacefully, it wouldn't have lasted at all if fear hadn't kept the absolute majority of the systems in line.
@@ertymexx They are still disadvantages. They are just not bad design. The fear inducing design gives them a disadvantage to gain a (at least from their point of view) greater advantage. Like when you switch out heavy armor for light armor in video games. You usually take more damage (disadvantage) but you are also (for example) faster (advantage).
@@Alresu any armor is good if the opponent can't hurt you. Which is the case here. The ISD has no disadvantages against earthlings, that at best can scrape up an old space shuttle against them.
@@ertymexx Ah, I see the problem. I am talking generally. You are talking about a fight against Earthlings. In that case you might be right about the Star Destroyers. Unless the come into range. Same goes for the Storm Troopers. Of course the disadvantage will never be an issue if they are not deployed. But that does not mean there are no disadvantages. It would just mean you can work around them or that this one specific enemy can not exploit them.
Empire: Oh, those Earth ruffians hacked our server again! If only we had some kind of cybersecurity! NordVPN: (Kicks open door) DID SOMEONE SAY CYBERSECURITY?!

The Empire's entire engineering and design philosophy seems to revolve around the Rule of Cool, which is effective in movies and not so much elsewhere.
Grand admiral Thrawn: please ignore these idiot's & accept our surrender, I'm embarrassed that Your soldiers are so much more disciplined than our Trooper's & more accurate.
To borrow from a certain Colonel O'Neill: "The Imperial Walker is a weapon of terror--it's made to intimidate the enemy. The modern tank is a weapon of war--it's made to kill your enemy."
You. I like you. HOWEVER. What is unfortunate is that the ATAT is armored so heavily that nothing short of a battleship cannon with get through that armor. No AP tank round would EVER puncture that thing
@@ln7929 A joint or neck made out of a metal so strong that even a single MM could stop an Abram's round may be the weakest part of the walker, but still invulnerable to real life weapons fire. That's the point this video has overlooked. The technological disparity means that even if the weapon systems might normally be inferior, the sheer advances in tech means it doesn't even matter. Stormtrooper armor is entirely invulnerable to even 50 cal weapons. You could have rifleman shooting at the stormtroopers and, unless they hit the joints, they're doing zero to that stormtrooper. The same applies to every level of the imperial military save maybe tie fighters. Imagine fighting an enemy where their soldiers can just leisurely walk towards your squad, tanking every bullet you put down range where a single blaster bolt kills you. Imagine fighting a walker that shrugs off every tank round, artillery shell, and missile thrown at it and just effortlessly one-shots your tanks with a single blaster cannon bolt. There's a reason you never see projectile weapons used in SW and it's because they're so out-dated that even the most advanced projectile weapon is nigh worthless against armored soldiers.
Hat _ they tripped them, boarded them, and crushed them using big ass trees that probably weighed a couple hundred pounds each. But remember, the at-st is a scout vehicle, meaning it’s not suppose to be that strong
In Star Wars Rebels, an Imperial surveillance ship overloads and outright explodes from what's basically a DDOS attack. To say Imperial cybersecurity is lacking is an understatement.
I grant you that Canon Star Wars is laughably stupid in how underdeveloped Imperial technology is. Take literally any ship from Legends though, and it's a whole other story. Do you know the primary reason ships fight so close in Star Wars? A lot of people like to say it's because turbolasers have very short range, but they forget a very crucial detail. The reason turbolasers cannot fire at great distances is never specified. They always say "we're out of range" or "we're out of effective range", not "our turbolasers won't effect them at this range" or something similar. So, if we want the actual reason turbolasers aren't useful at long range, we have to look at the Legends Canon reason why battles are so close. It's because the energy shields of capital ships produce a sensor fog that jams tracking, transmissions, and other ECM capabilities of enemy ships due to how the energy field is structured. Due to this, the long range targeting software that gunners use to target ships is unable to get a lock on enemy ships. So, to counteract the lack of sensor capability, ships have to fight in visual range in order to actually have something they can hit. They can't use their FTL sensors to hit things that aren't within visual range due to the jamming, so instead they're forced to use visual targeting which can only work up close. That's why turbolasers are ineffective at long range, because the automatic effect if how energy shields in Star Wars works prohibit any kind of electronic warfare and sensor targeting. Against anything we have, however, they have no such restrictions. So they're free to shoot at us from orbit or wherever.
@Luke Sellers I cannot find an explanation in my copy, what are you talking about. They say the range, but not the actual reason behind it. There's nothing saying anything like "the magnetic fields can't hold the bolt together for longer" or anything along those lines like people like to say.
@@angryirishman7474 the same Radom admiral: “sir the defence of mars has fallen all ground forces they have not been killed have been evacuated and now we have reports of powerful earth ships that have power-full weapons should we send in a super star destroyers with loads of other ships sir?”
Palpatine: hey, guys, have you heard about those new Earthlings, their strange weaponry and approach to war? Well, I've decided to hire around 20 million of their soldiers for spare change. Earth enters Star Wars and basically ends up being Krogan mercenaries of the setting... or second coming of Mandalorians. Minus pointless rituals.
The biggest issue with the infantry section is that you’re forgetting the entire Imperial Army. The Stormtrooper Corp is technically a part of the Imperial Navy, but functions much like modern marines, being deployed planetside. The Imperial Army is, well, the army, and consists of different units and divisions, such as an Engineering Corps, Army Air Corps, Assault Armor Division, Artillery Corps, etc. The Army is better suited for ground operations than the Stormtrooper Corps, so I don’t know why they would be doing anything much more than policing and holding captured areas. Also it’s worth mentioning that earth can only make so much ammunition, and faced against a galactic force it will eventually run out of resources without outside help. If the empire wanted to take earth they would likely hit key targets from orbit, like radar stations, air defence grids, naval bases, etc. then jam all communications. Then they’d take over the Middle East which produces almost all the world’s oil, and would offer much less resistance than a large nation with a massive modern military like the US or China. Then it’s just a matter of whittling down the other countries with its galaxy amount of reserve troops. If the Rebel Alliance doesn’t come in to help earth, or at least take advantage of the Empire’s situation to hit key targets to take pressure off earth, then earth will either run out of resources and be taken over without a real military threat or be carpet bombed when the Empire decides we aren’t worth a years-long campaign.
Agreed. I think the Empire would just fly a small fleet, including a couple of Star Destroyers, into orbit then proceed to annihilate a major city in a couple of minutes. The they might take out a few pieces of key infrastructure (like our satellite networks -which would be easy pickings for TIE fighters), and give the people of Earth an ultimatum. My guess is that the reason that space battles happen at such close range in Star Wars is that countermeasures are employed that make fighting at close range necessary. All the Empire would need to do, to greatly diminish our war fighting capabilities, would be destroy all of the artificial satellites around the Earth. My guess is TIE pilots would make quick work of those.
your also forgetting orbital night cloaks don't go by what you see in the movies alone get the imperial sourcebook the empire had quite a bit of nice weapons. also the empire had a thing of overwhelming odds, first they wouldn't launch a ground assault until they knew that most of our defenses were down ....so tie's and bombers and gunboats would rain down fire along with the destroyers, lancer frigates along with other weapons then they would launch heavy armor so no no the earth would fall pretty quick
The only reason this even remotly works out for Earth is that George Lukas doesn't care about giving an acurate military picture a galactic empire would have. He wanted cowboys in space and that is what we got.
Warhammer 40k is ironically the most realistic with its numbers. Trillions of humans across the galaxy, sounds about right actually. Meanwhile: Oh no, my Betazoid senses tell me a colony the size of Manhattan was destroyed, killing hundreds!
@@power-armoured_german9856 It was 200,000 on Genosis. But the majority of battles involving clones usually had numbers that were nowhere near that large. Usually the number was around 50,000 or less. Unless the world was very strategically important.
@@manictiger bhahahahahah trillions?! That's realistic to you? If the Imperium of man were real it would have quintillions, sextillions, decillions citizens
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 Though 40,000 years from now isn't enough time to get those numbers, you'd probably need a few hundred thousands to million years. Also with FTL, you can expand rather quickly even though your system can easily fit 100^15 people from here to the oort cloud. If there was no FTL then the astronomical populations in that range are very reachable. Since it would be impossible to govern a million systems across an entire galaxy.
@@bloq6758 Given that many IFVs have some form of anti-armor weapons on them, then they would still be able to fight walkers. They might be limited to mobility or functional, rather than critical kills. APCs don't have the direct fire capability needed for an armor fight, so they would dismount their infantrymen and then hide.
I think the Empire could easily force the world’s governments to surrender with orbital bombardment, but as usual, they would have to figure out how to subdue the general populace and prevent constant rebellion.
Pre-invasion: "Recall our fleet? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!" Post-invasion: "YOU ARE FAILING! We stand on the brink of adding one more territory to our glorious Empire, yet we cannot proceed because YOU CAN'T BEAT A BUNCH OF PRIMITIVES WHO DON'T EVEN HAVE STARDRIVE!"
10 years post-war: We are stupid, we can no longer call them Primitive, as they are now the rulers of this Galaxy, they even managed to assassinate Lord Sidious, even with his powers. We overestimated ourselves, and died in our own shadow
honestly the empires entire military reminds of of that scene from Stargate "this is a weapon of terror, it is mean to intimidat your enemies, this is a weapon of war, it is meant to kill your enemies"
Yeah the Galactic empire and the goauld empire have a ton of similarities. Although if they came into conflict I believe that the GE would win simply because they have more unity and any victories they had would erode the religious base for the entire goauld civilization.
What we're forgetting is that if the Galactic Empire tried to invade Earth, they'd find their entire intelligence database turned moot as Wookiepedia starts trending
Imperial SD captain: Commodore, we have enemy fighters incoming. Commodore: What do you mean? They're miles away. Captain: You're new here, sir. That's close range for them. Commodore: Wtf
The Empire in this situation seems to have what I like to call: “The Goa’uld problem”. The bad guys use weapons more designed for intimidation than actual practicality. The issue the Goa’uld in Stargate faced was worse, but you get the idea.
Well, not really; stormtroopers are actually extremely effective - the difference is their armor is designed to dissipate energy, not deal with straight up kinetic weapons like our current arsenal.
@@lba_e_ross2152 Star Wars sources are also contradictory, as they state Rebel SpecForce units used slugthrowers due to their effectiveness against Stormtrooper armor. It's much more resiliant when it comes to blaster fire, and while it's still resistent to kinetic projectiles, it's a lot more prone to failing to protect the wearer from a slugthrower.
@@lba_e_ross2152 idk what to tell you dude, canon information confirms that Rebel SpecForce used slugthrowers against Stormtroopers. I get it, you don't like being wrong, but canon sources > a fucking roleplaying game from 1998 that isn't canon anymore.
I wonder how the humans of both galaxies would react to each other’s existence. ADD: I like to think the SW humans would be confused while all the other races would be like “SERIOUSLY?! You just can’t get away from the Humans!”.
humans from the sw universe probably wouldnt really care much being used to so much species and planets theyd just go oh more humans cool alr but we'd be fucking terrified
@@whyyes6429 Humans of the star wars realm don't have an actual home planet. They were all plucked by the Celestials from who knows where, but they certainly don't remember. If they discovered that a planet with genuine, rootstock humans existed, they'd go wtf crazy. If we discovered that the star wars Galaxy existed, we'd probably go, "huh. Neat." While some of the power hungry world leaders make plans to make their tech our tech.
Us Earthlings would be scared and view them as alien's. The SW humans would view us as barbarians. Or a lost humans tribe that got separated from the wider galaxy.
@@imperialwyvern I'm pretty sure that finding a planet with rootstock, invented everything from scratch humans in a completely unknown galaxy would be pretty shocking
One idea is that during the clone wars, the plastoid armor designed by the Kaminoans for the clones (the armor that Storm Trooper armor would inherit from) was camouflage - for the Kaminoans who could see ultraviolet light. To humans, it's plain white.
Kind of curious to know how the 20th century would fare against the empire….like let’s just say either during the Vietnam war or Cold War or WW 1 or 2, how would they fare?
@@adammartinez8061we don’t do a dam thing especially to star destroyers. At sts no problem a well placed shot from a tank will have them destroyed other than that however we can’t exactly do much damage to a at st. Their soldiers kinda have an advantage due to the armor we see plasma go through the armor easily cause it is mother fucking plasma shit is hot not like a fucking projectile we have. It would likely take 20 or more shots from a rifle. Air superiority depends on the amount of ties they send our way
@martinezseymore3007 When you're more likely to face energy weapons in combat. Why would you produce a combat armor specifically designed to defend against projectiles? You have it ass backward.
Every scientist and politician that realises nukes lose their destructive power in vacuum and creates an EMP in the ground below: "that would be highly problematic!"
Actually its stated that the Empire actually does still make and store Nukes themselves. But in Star Wars they are considered too dangerous to use in space warfare as they act like massive Ion bombs. Ya you just blew up a enemy ship with a direct hit and EMPed its allies....but the EMP also hit and disabled our ships too!
@@devan6935 Good question. Also, the EMP will probably fry our satelites so no GPS and possibly no internet for a (long) while. Everything else on the surface probably won't be affected so yeah... You can nuke 'em, but you'll also cause collateral damge to our communications.
I don't think Storm Troopers where killed by the rocks themselves. They where certainly knocked over, no amount of armour is going to make you immune to the physics of a rock to the face. I'm sure most of them where killed while stunned as the ewoks capitalised on the shock factor.
One thing the Empire has in its favor: cohesion. While on Earth, even in the face of alien invasion, we’d still continue to act as independent nations, all with individual battle plans and individual motives.
Well, if several nations that felt threatened by the USSR could form the NATO, I don't see why all nations in the world, threatened by an Alien invasion, could not form a Reb... eh, Resistance Alliance against the Empire.
Depends on how long we have to prepare. Before NATO, Warsaw Pact or before WW2, various militaries struggled to work together. But as these examples and many others in history show, competent professional militaries can combine forces efficiently. Especially given time
That is a theory. Facing doom unless subjugated would probably unite people. What is happening now is petty and powerstruggles. If we lose we lose all power. I highly doubt we would all lay down before we all stand. Earth is considered ours by everyone, the leaders might want it, but not because they deserve it.
I don't think you understand that when humanities backs are truly against the wall, humans know how to figure things out best. If a giant space ship came and said they were going to occupy the planet, I think that would be equal to America's 9/11 globally amd world leaders would put a pause on their bullshit and say fuck that.
@@lba_e_ross2152 lmao, did you not watch the video? The whole scenario was on the premise of no orbital bombardment and attempting to occupy. If this *were* a realistic scenario, why would the Empire devote that much force to take over a planet when they have the entire galaxy to hold at the same time. A complete waste of effort and they would lose hold over other planets over a single one. This video is also using the movies as reference. Stormtroopers killed by rocks thrown by slings, walkers crushed by logs, and incompetent troopers with the ability to aim worth shit. If it really were a ground war, I would have to agree they would likely get stomped.
The problem with using only the data we can see onscreen is that the empire doesn’t have plot armor and their enemies usually do, so that’s why they usually suck in a battle on screen
But empire really is weak, that's why palpatine needed the death star You cannot defeat a real ass planet like earth or alderaan or coruscant not even with 25000 star destroyers , a planet is the ultimate bunker, i think he realized it after nAboo . Most " planets" in that universe are mere outposts or are so depending on space trade that they can be made to agree with anything but fhe systems of full grown planets like the mon calamari are not so easily threatened and we see how easily they built a fleet to challenge the empires might The empire could not invade even the hutts to their face
I'd imagine that resistance groups would spring up like daisies. The sentiment of earth being enslaved and her people butchered harken back to the memories of many people. Russians, Poles, Chinese. Or people who have strong traditions or sense of independence and freedom. There's a lot of other countries, but I'd imagine that keeping a grip on earth is gonna be pretty tough
Imagine the empire trying to get a grip on the distinct mentalities of the Russians, Afghans, Finns, etc. Earth's humans overall seem to be much more adaptable and at times even scarier than the humans in Star Wars, even without the "magic" thing.
@@gustavoritter7321 Afghans especially, they have such a fascinating identity. There's an excellent lecture I heard on the identity of the Afghan peoples, tribes, and ethnic groups, I highly recommend it! I'll link it here!
In my mind I rationalize Endor like this: Imperial equipment was designed to deal with threats that were at a similar technological to their own. It never occurred to the Empire to make armor that withstood clubs and rocks, or walkers that would have to deal with getting smashed by logs. If that's the case, we might actually do pretty okay against them in a ground invasion, however my suspicion is that we'd surrender long before that became a problem. The empire doesn't *have* to invade. They have but to sit up there in their nice, safe, city-sized ships and say, "Surrender now please, we have you surrounded," and if we had any sense that's exactly what we'd do, lest they melt the whole planet down to the fossil record.
Well that's a problem when you're gonna go up against a gun that are on Earth that can Penetrate straight right through walls no matter what I'm sorry I'm picking the US military forces here No way around it I'm sorry but I'm just going to go with that the way I think about it I say when military puts you through all stuff that's a lot better than what storm troops I've been through that shows you that's a lot more impressive and a lot more feats of what they got And that power they got is a lot more on their side Then storm troops I don't think storm troops arctica would stand any of these guns there are too much for their armor and their armor might have limits to that at this point.
And that tells you how do you even top any of that with US military forces I mean that what military has done over the years has sharked me at this point. In fact I think storm troops would be a lot more afraid of the US military Other countries that were on Earth that it makes them think they don't have enough firepower here That are that big of a deal That are a lot tougher here Even if they do know it they know they are up against Them Is in a trap situation.
In fact US military and all these countries will make the galactic Empire look like as if they would suck Instead of them on Earth I say Earth Is with the US military and all of our countries wins On Earth and in space.
Or the empire could just destroy a big city and say surrender or all your city will be like this! Also the empire really dont care about civillians so they could just use a bioweapons and just send a bom that contains a deadly virus to earth and boommmm they will just sit and wait until everyone dies and send a million of stormtrooper to clear the dead bodies
@@Gmal51 The Empire very clearly has space superiority. They can park in an orbit that we can't reach and make us sorry we thought we had a chance. If they send troops to the surface it's our war to win but there's no reason for the Empire to ever do that before securing our unconditional surrender.
Empire: Why are you building such large ships? Earth: To colonise nearby stars. Empire: But we only sold you ion drives. It will take decades to get there. Earth: We know. Empire:
To those who don't get this joke, let me explain it in an oversimplified way: The joke points out about how Earth/Terran Humans can adapt very fast compared to other species as well as non Earth Humans. The reason why Earthlings can adapt so fast is because of our habit on copy and pasting inventions really fast. Examples are... - Europeans making better versions of China's gunpowder inventions - Japan being able to copy the drill from European countries - The US allowing exiled German Scientists to work on Nuclear weapons during ww2 - The US copying the *Blitzkrieg* tactic from N@zi Germany Welp, hope this explanation is good Edit: and i had nothing better else to do other than write this unnecessary explanation.
@@echidnanatsuki882 not to mention, even against new weaponry, we still manage to change the field of battle and adapt. With trench warfare we used chemical weapons. With the Enigma, we developed the first computer. With nuclear bombs, we developed MAD. With long range missiles, we developed CWIGs and other active defense mechanisms. With heat seeking missiles, we developed flares. Every time a new technology comes out, we come up with something to defend ourselves or counterattack. Its not just the copying and adapting to the new technology, but adapting counters to that technology. Also with the OP, it also shows how much will our species has. We're fully aware that it will take decades to go arrive and there will be no help, but we are so confident in our ability to survive on an alien planet with no information of the surroundings and likely no survivable atmosphere, it's frankly scary to go up against people with that much confidence and will power. That's the manifest destiny of the stars. No matter the odds, we just keep marching forward until we have our freedom. We are not free, we are tyrannized by gravity, so we make a massive ship to overcome it. To the empire: Do not take our freedom, or you will be the subject of our 'humanity' and you'll learn just how ruthless we are.
Joseph Stalin what are you talking about all Russians have to do is watch and laugh as they freeze as the Russia winter kills the stupid imperales trying to invade Russia
@@georgestefanou4250 I mean the empire is ad at many things but weather is never a issue to them. They operate on ice worlds and larva worlds there armor is able to handle seep space. So i think the Russians would have to role in.
They would have advance warning, they would be able to pretty much nuke indiscriminately (SCP 2000), They would be able to make a deal with some Keters (tell 049 that he can have all the test subjects he needs, just make sure they're the guys in white armor, tell 682 that it can go loose, just put it on a star destroyer) and most importantly: *THEY WOULD HAVE DR. BRIGHT*
One thing you didn't consider is satellites. The empire would be able to destroy our satellite arrays with ease. This would destroy our ability to communicate and coordinate, which is the greatest strength of our modern military
Not really, modern advancements have created a new communication system in case the satellite network goes down from a cyberattack or is shot down by the anti-satellite missiles. It works from multiple warships or communication arrays that make an interlocking network that passes communication when orbital satellites are down. But it only works for the Western nations as being spread out needed cohesion from the military.
even if the main hull was armored on an AT-AT, joints are much weaker, and a shot to the knees would likely immobilize an AT-AT, while shooting the neck makes it explode
@@moo4boy the only weak point was its neck. you see it get shot in the knee by an AT Battery and it did nothing. The neck was the weakest part... but it was still strong, just not as armored as the rest.
@@CoolMyron Well, not exactly, AT-ATs have at best 200mm of protection on the top or sides, and the armor is likely some form of Rolled Homogenous armor. AGM-114 hellfires can penetrate over a meter of RHA at any angle, and have a maximum range of 8 kilometers. Guided by laser pointer into the head of an AT-AT, the crew is dead as doornails.
One thing that I always come back to about being technologically advanced is that you might not be advanced in what matters. Look at TIE Strikers for example. It's just so odd. Here you have a plane with laser weapons, shielding, and ion engines. Yet it's still technologically inferior to something such as a MiG-21 or Dassualt AlphaJet. Even a B-57B. An A-10 Warthog, an outdated plane not even meant for air-to-air combat, would still smack it because the technology gap is surreal.
@@ryanconnelly2405 Knowing a bit of star wars lore the largest battle the empire took part in was over the forest moon of Endor. The imperial fleet had a grand total of, 35 star destroyers a super star destroyer and the death star. The empire was so overstretched that they couldn't spare to send too many more without the rebellion noticing or occupied worlds starting uprisings. For our world in our level of technology compared to theirs, even getting 2 star destroyers over our world would be excessive. Most likely some old flotilla of no more than 1 Venator with smaller support ships would stumble here. And they have weaker shields and less weapons than a victory or imperial 1 or 2 star destroyer.
I personally feel that the empire and the civilisation in star wars is stagnating, technologically mainly. And its this factor that'll spell doom for the empire. Even if we'd get to their level we'd also push to beat them technologically as well. Seeing as how dominance over the enemy is our whole thing.
@@alphagamer9505 Yeah like why? I know that there was a war in the SW universe that lasted so long and was so devastating that it resulted in people fighting each other with primitive weapons but to say that they haven't advanced their technology centuries after the war is ridiculous. Maybe they didn't want a repeat, IDK
@@Brother_O4TS My theories on why technology in the Star Wars universe is "stagnating" are from points of view from inverse and real life. George Lucas wanted the Star Wars universe to look and feel like a futuristic WWII/Vietnam battleground. Have you seen the movie, "Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow"? That's a weird movie from the perspective of how sci-fi/fantasy was envisioned from the 1930's of the future. In the real ever-expanding technology of Earth, close-quarter combat of aircraft is almost non-existent. Targets are hit with missiles hundreds of miles away without eye-contact. I think Lucas wanted Star Wars to have a particular feel of close-quarter combat which is awesome. Now onto why it appears technology in Star Wars is stagnating... I view the Star Wars "Universe" in the light of the God/Source/Force expansion of an earlier incarnation of time and space that is more limited than the Universe that includes Earth. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." implies to me that certain technological achievements are not able to be "unlocked". What would take thousands of years for some worlds to evolve into a "modern" technological era only took Earth 300 years. My view is a mix of evolutionary/philosophical/technological reasons why we see a "stagnated" technology. Think about it, the Death Star was the biggest technological device ever constructed in the galaxy and it was only the size of a small moon, but hyperspace technology has been around for thousands of years connecting thousands of star systems with access to the latest technologies. From how Earth is progressing from the last 300 years alone, we will be beyond that Star Wars technology 300 years from now. Our current incarnation has more "unlocked" features in every aspect. That's just my views of it all.
@@demonicaxeman7264 Your probably right. The stagnating technology is for story reasons. Realistically, we could go beyond the technology of Star Wars, as you said.
Yup...humans are insane enough to make earth skies and orbit glow red with nuclear explosions for a few minutes...if pushed against the wall...emp shockwaves disabling shields.. then afterwars Earth would have a nice ring from star destroyer leftovers...
There's a reason there is an Abundance of stories with us being basically the Space Orks, We're a Tenacious species that'll go the extra mile when needed to take you down even if it's for a petty thing
Except you don't actually have the ability to launch them high enough to hit SDs. Look up the actual orbital flight profile of an ICBM; most are estimated with reasonable accuracy. You're bragging about the size of a bullet in a jammed gun.
Considering how the Ewoks did against the empire with some stones and twigs I’d think we would have a pretty solid chance against them. Their armor is plastic and they can’t shoot straight
This is why I hate the "cannon" so much star wars legends shows stormtroopers as elite their training is ridiculous. They are motivated, etc the can't shoot straight is bullshit if they let them do that in the movie it would have ended in the first movie then boom star wars is over
@@random-le5qh Go to 12:55 in the video I sent and that will be Vaders reaction to when USA say some. Oh he beat the squads? Oh send in the nuke show him that real quik.
The Empires greatest advantage would be their ability to invade with massive amounts of resources and manpower and deliver them to battlefields nearly instantly from orbit.
It becomes a question similar to how another commenter phrased it: could the combined militaries of the Earth take over an ant hill? That's more along the lines of what it would be when Earth got turbolasered into oblivion or became a weapons testing site for the empire.
@@CoolMyron No, you just don't understand war. When taking a single planet (the equivalent of a city, country, whatever) takes more than a planet's worth of loss, it's not worth it. Why lose more than what you gain?
@@CoolMyron Okay but what happens when you lose more than you gain? And do you not realize we'd use the threat of making our planet unusable as leverage? If it's just about resources they could choose from any planet in our solar system anyways without conflict.
@@CoolMyron "Not every war is fought just to completely destroy the other faction. You gain everything on a planet when you conquer it." The Death Star says otherwise. The Empire doesn't care about planets themselves or their resources. They care about controlling the population and forcing it to submit to their will.
Damn those primitive savages with their "tactics" and "well designed weapons, armor and transports" and their "competence". Look at those tanks! They have such a low, sleek profile that makes them more difficult to hit. Not like our glorious at at wich towers so high and large a blind man could hit it from 3 miles away and with a centre of gravity so high a child could push it over.
The only reason why Ewoks won was because they knew the weak points of the storm trooper armor, they’ve spent time studying them from the safety of the forest environment, that’s how they knew where their shield bunker was
@@devan6935 the imperial army is far larger. They are the guys you see in black clothes, wear those weird helmets and tend to carry a rifle and pistol.
@@devan6935 because one plot, two you do see them just not very often e.g. solo, three they are usually delagated to more menial tasks such as garrisoning inner worlds, being boots on the ground for protracted conflicts like Mimbam.
You forgot 2 aspects: 1. Slugthrowers [standard rifles] exist in Star Wars and Stortrooper armor can't withstand their shots; 2. Hacking into the Galactis Empire's network would also give Earth the opportunity to steal the necessary blueprints to reserve engineer the engines and power sources that the Empire uses.
A few points. Blasters have no stealth, which is likely why the Empire had forsaken camo. No use wasting credits that could go towards building the Death Star. I think a more interesting fight would be earth vs the Galactic Republic. Clone troopers are FAR more disciplined than storm troopers, and their weapons and gear are much higher quality. The Republic put more focus on Quality than quantity. That boils down to context though. The Republic was fighting a major galaxy spanning war, the Empire on the other hand already controlled the galaxy. So the Empire's shock and awe doctrine is better designed to keeping down an already pacified civilian populace. All while keeping the gear cheap, if the Empire loses a bucket head, pull in the next schmuck and equip him with more cheap gear. Anything past rioting civilians and disgruntled nerf herders with their varmint shooters, the Empire has it's logistical network spanning the galaxy, plenty of bodies to throw at a problem. We can start to see why they eventually lost out to the Rebels, who where they could, invested in higher quality gear and starfighters. Whether the Empire could win a war against earth depends on how much resources they could dedicate towards the invasion. But even in a "Victory" scenario, there would still be a guerrilla war going on all throughout the occupation, and would likely mirror their failures on Lothal. Cases in real wars show that a dedicated guerrilla army can match a technologically superior army. (See Vietnam and various Middle Eastern conflicts.) Ultimately, if I were tasked with occupying Earth, I would try to take the planet through diplomacy and propaganda. I would offer individual nations membership into the Empire with a simple deal, run things as you like, pay Imperial taxes, get Imperial technology. Those nations would be propped up by that technology against their neighbors in the event that the neighbors become hostile. But good chance they will sign on too to avoid being left behind by the countries that joined the Empire. What's more, I could directly recruit new soldiers from Earth very easily, many would jump at the chance to leave to explore the galaxy. Without even taking the planet I could provide the Empire with the Earth's superior military personnel. Just imagine how much they Empire could benefit from hiring a veteran from the Iraq war working as an adviser on how to put down some local insurrection on a distant alien planet. If it really came down to an actual conflict though, why should I waste a single drop of Imperial blood? To fight a Terran, you send a Terran. Either, your allies win, or if they ultimately lose, Earth will have spent much blood and treasure to have ousted them. At this point, they should be battered, weak, and war weary. Invade, hopefully with a force that has learned a thing or two from Terran military doctrine or perhaps composed of Terrans loyal to the Empire. Reinstall Empire friendly leadership, and leave a garrison composed of Terrans, with Imperial overseers. Rinse and repeat the process, always have Terrans do the fighting for you, waste naught, want naught. Start mining and build shipyards on Mars. I don't necessarily need full political control of Earth to exploit the star system's resources to feed the Imperial war machine. Yeah, this post was longer than I planned. XD
Your probably right especially about the recruitment thing like even thinking about it now if the empire offered me a chance to go to space and new planets for a couple of years of being a storm trooper I would happily accept and I could just dessert of things weren’t going to great
I agree with the video, I just want to add few specification: 1) AT-ST can reach 90km/h on flat terrain and similar speeds in terrains most Earth vehicles couldn´t reach. They´re not that well armored, but their mobility could be important. AT-AT is still good only for parades though. 2) Stormtrooper armor is made to withstand heat of blaster fire, not power of gunfire. That´s why any bullet is going to go through as if the armor wouldn´t be there. It´s kinda weird, given that bullet shooting guns exist in Star Wars. 3) The cyber attack depends on how Star Wars computer works in comparison to Earth one. It propably would be possible to hack Imperial computers, but Earth would need to understand the computers first.
Los AT-ST no alcanza velocidad de 90 km/h, se mueve muy lento pera tener tal velocidad, y mucho vehículos militares en la tierra, alcanza velocidades de 90 km/h y hasta más.
@@AlphaCarinae thick enough Kevlar would stop a crossbow bolt better than storm trooper armor could stop a .223 though haha. Not to mention troops also have both Kevlar and ceramic plates in most body armor. Storm trooper armor is basically just insulated plastic.
There's a couple problems with your arguments here. The main thing that I think you're missing is that the Empire would attempt to incentivize existing governments to join the Galactic Empire willingly. Essentially just show the kinds of technological advancements that could be achieved through sharing technology since in terms of space travel and artificial intelligence and energy production Earth is relatively incredibly backwards. Once they've gotten the most powerful Earth governments to agree to joining the Empire they would then slowly but surely let economics become the weapon that they use to bring the rest of the planet under control. They wouldn't need to launch a full scale invasion. Governments like in America, China and Russia would be tripping over themselves to destroy any dissenters in order to acquire that technology. Meanwhile the Empire is just using us to strip mine our own solar system for them.
Don't forget the military industrial complex that pretty much took over the U.S's checkbook. Give us a couple of TIE fighters and a light cruiser to research and Lockheed Martin would have a new fighter out as quick as possible and if the empire gave our government ships and mining equipment, we'd mine the entire solar system for materials and create our own fleet of star destroyers. Plus our spec ops teams could be used to train imperial troopers on guerilla warfare. Honestly, it would be a win win on both sides.
That is exactly what happened in some Star Wars side material. Empire incentivized the major governments of a world with huge economic leverage and give them an imperial garrison that recruits locally. Bam. Didn't even need to fire a single shot.
The practicalities of large scale war come down to logistics. The Star Destroyers could sit in orbit and strike factories, rail heads, sea ports and runways and they win. No matter the courage or POSSIBLE tactical advantage of Terran militaries, as soon as the Empire's ships hold the orbitals, there is no winning the war. :(
@@Explodingtntfan I genuinely don't think any Terran militaries have a developed capacity to take down large targets outside of very low Earth orbit. ICBMs don't actually have very powerful rockets, in space terms. And their targeting systems really aren't set up for orbital targets either (probably). To add to the problem, nukes aren't great as space weapons, they would have to detonate in contact with the hull to do real damage. Could Terrans develop that sort of anti-spaceship weaponry versus high-orbiting targets, absolutely. Could we do it while under observation of a hostile force, without that force destroying the necessarily-large rockets first, I don't really think so. :)
High altitude nuclear detonation. Could destroy a Star Destroyer and disable the shields or electronics, creating massive fields or hunks of space debris the orbital invaders must dodge and move around, decreasing their effectiveness
@@nathanramage1275 I am not an expert, by any means, but I don't think that the explosion from a nuke will be very effective in near vacuum, unless in pretty-much-direct contact. And I would assume that a space-faring warship is pretty well armored against small debris, even moving at orbital speeds. But, again, I think the real problem is primarily range. As I understand them, ICBMs really only have the power to loft their payloads into sub-orbital or very low earth orbit, as that is all they need to create the necessary range. Once there, the warheads are un powered and un guided, and simply wouldn't be in a high enough orbit to reach the Star Destroyers. *shrug* That's my guess, anyway.
@@mrdragon5142 One, look up anti-satellite weapons. Two, did you just call Humans "Terrans"? GTFO with that bullshit. As for the ICBMs you mentioned in your other comment, I'd imagine they very much do have the power to do so. ICBMs don't just launch their payload up, they travel sort-of horizontally, minimizing time in orbit as to avoid detection, while also heading directly to the target. If you pointed an ICBM straight up, you just saved a shit ton of fuel that you can now use to go straight up.
@@bloq6758 if a packet of ionised gas can pierce it Then a jet of Copper excited to the state of Plasma will simply ignore it’s existence Think before you open your mouth
@@cnlbenmc you really think the Empire would care if we started killing prisoners? Because they wouldn't. And they have plenty of bodies to bury us in.
One thing about earth is we have truly mastered war. Something the Empire would certainly take into consideration. Not to mention our inability to surrender. An orbital bombardment may not be as effect when nukes and other missiles are involved. As soon as a fleet enters orbit we would certainly strike first. The Death Star is really the only option if a few thousand nukes don’t hit it first as soon as it’s in range.
Humans are just super violent and have relied on war throughout our existence so we’ve perfected it while in Star Wars there peaceful I don’t think they’ve needed a large military up into the clone wars so yea we probably could defend for a while but they would just get mad after we nuke there ships and then they would shoot us with Death Star because we’re so dangerous
You're over rating earth soooo much I reckon this is what the empire would need to conquer earth 2 Star Destroyers, multiple TIE fighter and some ground troops to use for occupation when it is over. First, destroy every satellite on earth, that gets instantly rid of any non-cable communication methods we have as well as GPS and, since it's in space, we can't do crap about it. Then, start the bombardment. Even if an ICBM manages to get into orbit and hit a destroyer (which I don't think would do anything because shields are a thing and ICBMS aren't precise to the meter, much less without GPS or other navigation methods) but, even IF it worked, and a destroyer was taken down... Then just give the order, screw it, this planet is too backwards, glass it, the destroyer would retreat into a higher orbit from were no weapons could touch it and give an ultimatum, surrender or face total surface annihilation. Imperial Win. Even if they decided for some reason to use conventional methods like ground troops and aerial dogfight they would still hold the edge over us. They have likely an army of millions with thousands of air fighters. Now, admittedly TIE fighters would go down rather quickly (tho they probably have some sort of long range radar to detect stuff like missiles so it is kinda dubious if our famous missiles would be able to hit them at all) but as soon as the units with shields get in, we're screwed. For ground units they can just use Russian tactics and flood us with men, men with good armour, canonically good aim (remember what Obi Wan said about Stormtroopers being great marksman? It's just that heroes often have meters thick plot armour that deflects blaster fire) and they have bacta and other solutions (so downed soldiers could be brought right back into action in a matter of minutes or hours rather than weeks or months) Overall their tech skill is way too high for us to overcome, especially in stuff like prosthetics and other methods, if a soldier loses a leg here on earth, that's it, he's no longer able to fight but if a stormtrooper loses it he can get a robot one and be back to the battlefield in a day. About hacking... Maybe? Except that, what you all seem to miss, is that they don't use USB, or standard computing, they're from a galaxy far far away, why the heck do we think they're gonna use normal computers?! We'll need to first study their tech and coding If we want any hope at all to defeat their cyberdefense and that takes time. Time that we'll not be given, because the empire will crush us. (As an example, the rebels can hack into imperial systems quite easily... Because compared to them they at least are on the same tech field, we're trying to compare our computers to those of an empire which has figured out FTL flight, galaxy-wide colonisation, cloning, etc...) So I ask again, what hope do we have? If I had to say, this will be looking less like an actual war and more like War of the Worlds, our entire military struggling against a vastly superior enemy and failing at it for a while (tho in this case we may actually be able to down their walkers and TIE fighters given how badly they seem to be designed) Or maybe the 7 hour war from Half Life? Something like that probably.
The empire better stay at Arms Lengths Because if hoomans get a single small starship the game is over, presumably we only need to hold the line till then and then the empire would be begging for mercy a few months after that
Empire: "This will be easy" Vietnam: *laughing tree noises* Russia: *laughing winter noises* Finland: *laughing sniper noises* Australia: *laughing* [insert any Australian animal] *noises* Empire: "Fuck this, we're going home. How much fuel do we have?" America: *laughing oil noises*
So I'll agree with the core premise, SW armies (as depicted on screen) are in most ways less effective at waging war than their modern terran counterparts, however I would argue they manage to look a hell of a lot cooler doing it.
You forgot the fact that, although it is not clear how large the empire‘s army was, they at least hat around 1.75 billion stormtroopers and millions of star destroyers. The entire earth has like maybe a few million soldiers, which means that every single soldier would have to face at least a few hundred stormtroopers and at least 1 star destroyer. Yeah guys we definitely gonna win this
Yeah but i dont think that they're gonna use every single soldier and destroyer for 1 planet,also,recruiting will boom due to the fact that they are fighting for their home planet
@@2000jalebi except their slug throwers are primitive. Seemingly worse than lots of lever action rifles we have. An in shape soldier has no issue carrying 4 30 round mags of 5.56. That’s 120 bullets being fired in bursts or full and slug thrower were outlawed due to how effective they were. 5.56 green tip ammo would shred storm troopers to pieces. Meanwhile, blasters have been proven to move extremely slow in comparison. As in less than 30m/s. At 200m we could kill a storm trooper in a blink of an eye but we would have roughly 8 seconds to dodge a blaster bolt we could see coming at us.
@@mr.p215 the trigger happy people don’t live in big cities lol. They live spread out in the country sides where isolation would be their key. The empire has ridiculously primitive scanning devices compared to real life. Whole rebel groups of hundreds of people armed with AR-15s could go unnoticed and seeing how much faster 5.56 green tip is compared to blaster bolts, our soldiers could literally take out an entire battalion of storm troopers before their blaster boots could even hit them. Blasters have been calculated on screen to move at roughly 30m/s. Which is so slow.
No...? The SCP foundation's Mobile Task Force isn't even a strictly military force, it's special operatives for dealing with (usually immortal) objects and things. They use about the same firearms as the rest of Earth except with less variety, which is a minor limit, but have you ever seen a Foundation tank or APC? No? The Foundation's MTF divisions are basically just other nation's armies, except with fewer weapons, fewer people and no armored corps. They don't stand a chance against the nations of Earth, let alone the empire; An entire galaxy vs. a single NGO. Stormtroopers could defeat SCPF with their fists, for God's sake.
I imagine the Empire would see our planet as extremely resource-rich, and therefore wouldn't want to destroy such a wealthy planet. And they're cocky: they'd try an invasion.
I would actually love to see this play out in a show. The idea of the Galactic Empire trying to invade and occupy earth would be such an interesting concept. Basically just Independence Day: Star Wars Edition lol As for how it would even work, why not the ever so popular trope of "wormhole" XD Holy crap, I actually wanna write that now
I think even he would reconsider invading after watching what we consider as "Art". (the Simpsons, Family Guy, Austin Powers and the Sequel Trilogy) He might see a Picaso and just call it a day.
I am not so sure. Thrawn is a genius but all the different cultures of earth would probably throw him off as one of the things that gives him a advantage is his understanding of different cultures and their flaws. And places like the U.S are mixed between all kinds of cultures due to call the people of different ethnic backgrounds. But then again he is a genius and would figure something out.
He may be a tactical genius but that couldn’t save them from the fact that their tech is horribly obsolete on every front except the ships themselves. Their blasters move at like 75mph. Meaning at sufficient distance, normal people could dodge them. Their armor couldn’t stop actual bullets (in canon storm troopers lose to slug throwers e which are just bullets all the time)
No. He would destroy or control the nuclear plants and military factories. He then would try to recruit any country to try to replicate our technology, then he would collect art from all over the world. He then would make a note to keep us divided and to make preparation in case of massive suicidal attacks.
We need to seperate between pre-Disney Empire and Disney-Empire. The Disney Empire would ram half of their fleet into the moon first, blow up the other half on orders of Tarkin and then confuse vulcanos for command bases losing their whole invasion army as a result.
Speed and range is variable, even from the same weapon. Clonetroopers and droids has engaged each other from hundreds of meters away or maybe even a kilometer, with bolts travelling as fast as a bullet.

@@Tracer_Krieg Hmm, their art is varied and complex, with many overarching themes that are later subverted once the work's details are studied. This indicates a sophisticated intelligence and pragmatic nature that in my estimation we would do well to not underestimate. I do not think that a military approach would be our best course of action, perhaps something more political such as befriending their more hardline elements. I suggest we make contact with one of their leaders, someone that commands great respect among a small but vocal subset of their culture for irrational reasons, and bolster his rule. We can then slowly subvert his authority and replace it with our own, thus imposing the Emperor's will, and I have the perfect candidate (revealing a picture of Donald Trump).

Also something that would impress the Empire are the suicide soldiers. No Empire soldier would voluntarly comit suicide. But Kamikazes,Jihadist,Fanatics all over the world would harass and instill fear in any Empire soldier
The empire most likely wouldn't even need to invade. An incredibly powerful and and technologically advanced power shows up one day and offers friendship and protection for any force allied with them? Planetary governments would be falling over themselves to ally themselves with the empire to get a leg up on their regional rivals.
Exactly. Earth would gain tech and Empire would get superior military personnel and better designs for using that tech. Win - win. No need for a bloody conflict.
Verrikan the thing is that I think the empire would try to assimilate the human population of earth until our cultural as a whole is completely gone. The majority of humanity would NOT be ok with that and would probably much rather have it’s independence.
Once a treat like that shows up regional rivalry would be meaningless ...
I doubt that we would allow ourselves to be annexed. What government in history has let itself be annexed because someone showed up with a fancy toy. I also don't think the empire would even try to take Earth. To them we just some backwater planet. If they did want Earth they would just try walking in and taking it and considering the Empire's arrogance they would likely blunder into a nuke.

A bunch of disadvantages the Empire has come from the fear-philosophy. The Storm-Troopers are not designed to not be seen. They are supposed to be seen and feared. Another example of this looks-over-practicallity mentality is the Star Destroyer design were the put the bridge, one of the most vital stations, on top of everything else were it was visible to everyone and very attackable. Much of the Empire's design choices says: "You have to fear us. We don't have to fear you. We are right here and you can't do anything about it."
Those aren't disadvantages if they work. Which they do. The empire lasted for almost twenty years, and though never peacefully, it wouldn't have lasted at all if fear hadn't kept the absolute majority of the systems in line.
@@ertymexx They are still disadvantages. They are just not bad design. The fear inducing design gives them a disadvantage to gain a (at least from their point of view) greater advantage.
Like when you switch out heavy armor for light armor in video games. You usually take more damage (disadvantage) but you are also (for example) faster (advantage).
@@Alresu any armor is good if the opponent can't hurt you. Which is the case here. The ISD has no disadvantages against earthlings, that at best can scrape up an old space shuttle against them.
@@ertymexx Ah, I see the problem. I am talking generally. You are talking about a fight against Earthlings. In that case you might be right about the Star Destroyers. Unless the come into range. Same goes for the Storm Troopers. Of course the disadvantage will never be an issue if they are not deployed.
But that does not mean there are no disadvantages. It would just mean you can work around them or that this one specific enemy can not exploit them.
Their equipment philosophy is just like German equipment in WW2

@@ln7929 A joint or neck made out of a metal so strong that even a single MM could stop an Abram's round may be the weakest part of the walker, but still invulnerable to real life weapons fire.
That's the point this video has overlooked. The technological disparity means that even if the weapon systems might normally be inferior, the sheer advances in tech means it doesn't even matter. Stormtrooper armor is entirely invulnerable to even 50 cal weapons. You could have rifleman shooting at the stormtroopers and, unless they hit the joints, they're doing zero to that stormtrooper. The same applies to every level of the imperial military save maybe tie fighters.
Imagine fighting an enemy where their soldiers can just leisurely walk towards your squad, tanking every bullet you put down range where a single blaster bolt kills you. Imagine fighting a walker that shrugs off every tank round, artillery shell, and missile thrown at it and just effortlessly one-shots your tanks with a single blaster cannon bolt.
There's a reason you never see projectile weapons used in SW and it's because they're so out-dated that even the most advanced projectile weapon is nigh worthless against armored soldiers.

I grant you that Canon Star Wars is laughably stupid in how underdeveloped Imperial technology is. Take literally any ship from Legends though, and it's a whole other story. Do you know the primary reason ships fight so close in Star Wars? A lot of people like to say it's because turbolasers have very short range, but they forget a very crucial detail. The reason turbolasers cannot fire at great distances is never specified. They always say "we're out of range" or "we're out of effective range", not "our turbolasers won't effect them at this range" or something similar. So, if we want the actual reason turbolasers aren't useful at long range, we have to look at the Legends Canon reason why battles are so close. It's because the energy shields of capital ships produce a sensor fog that jams tracking, transmissions, and other ECM capabilities of enemy ships due to how the energy field is structured. Due to this, the long range targeting software that gunners use to target ships is unable to get a lock on enemy ships. So, to counteract the lack of sensor capability, ships have to fight in visual range in order to actually have something they can hit. They can't use their FTL sensors to hit things that aren't within visual range due to the jamming, so instead they're forced to use visual targeting which can only work up close. That's why turbolasers are ineffective at long range, because the automatic effect if how energy shields in Star Wars works prohibit any kind of electronic warfare and sensor targeting. Against anything we have, however, they have no such restrictions. So they're free to shoot at us from orbit or wherever.
not mariolevi I will smash a vpn
@Luke Sellers I cannot find an explanation in my copy, what are you talking about. They say the range, but not the actual reason behind it. There's nothing saying anything like "the magnetic fields can't hold the bolt together for longer" or anything along those lines like people like to say.

The biggest issue with the infantry section is that you’re forgetting the entire Imperial Army. The Stormtrooper Corp is technically a part of the Imperial Navy, but functions much like modern marines, being deployed planetside. The Imperial Army is, well, the army, and consists of different units and divisions, such as an Engineering Corps, Army Air Corps, Assault Armor Division, Artillery Corps, etc. The Army is better suited for ground operations than the Stormtrooper Corps, so I don’t know why they would be doing anything much more than policing and holding captured areas.
Also it’s worth mentioning that earth can only make so much ammunition, and faced against a galactic force it will eventually run out of resources without outside help.
If the empire wanted to take earth they would likely hit key targets from orbit, like radar stations, air defence grids, naval bases, etc. then jam all communications. Then they’d take over the Middle East which produces almost all the world’s oil, and would offer much less resistance than a large nation with a massive modern military like the US or China. Then it’s just a matter of whittling down the other countries with its galaxy amount of reserve troops.
If the Rebel Alliance doesn’t come in to help earth, or at least take advantage of the Empire’s situation to hit key targets to take pressure off earth, then earth will either run out of resources and be taken over without a real military threat or be carpet bombed when the Empire decides we aren’t worth a years-long campaign.
If the Empire wants to take earth, they would not invade but come as friends and slowly install puppet regimes.
Agreed. I think the Empire would just fly a small fleet, including a couple of Star Destroyers, into orbit then proceed to annihilate a major city in a couple of minutes. The they might take out a few pieces of key infrastructure (like our satellite networks -which would be easy pickings for TIE fighters), and give the people of Earth an ultimatum. My guess is that the reason that space battles happen at such close range in Star Wars is that countermeasures are employed that make fighting at close range necessary. All the Empire would need to do, to greatly diminish our war fighting capabilities, would be destroy all of the artificial satellites around the Earth. My guess is TIE pilots would make quick work of those.
This one should be the pinned comment.
Just about
your also forgetting orbital night cloaks don't go by what you see in the movies alone get the imperial sourcebook the empire had quite a bit of nice weapons. also the empire had a thing of overwhelming odds, first they wouldn't launch a ground assault until they knew that most of our defenses were down ....so tie's and bombers and gunboats would rain down fire along with the destroyers, lancer frigates along with other weapons then they would launch heavy armor so no no the earth would fall pretty quick
The only reason this even remotly works out for Earth is that George Lukas doesn't care about giving an acurate military picture a galactic empire would have. He wanted cowboys in space and that is what we got.
Agreed. For another example we just need to take a look at episode 2, where 100,000 clones were apparently enough for a planetary invasion

@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231
Though 40,000 years from now isn't enough time to get those numbers, you'd probably need a few hundred thousands to million years. Also with FTL, you can expand rather quickly even though your system can easily fit 100^15 people from here to the oort cloud. If there was no FTL then the astronomical populations in that range are very reachable. Since it would be impossible to govern a million systems across an entire galaxy.
Don’t forget that map blasters projectile speed is only around 75mph, so from long distances, soldiers could dodge Stormtroopers shots.
When the battlefield became dogdeball field for our soldiers lmao

And even if a nuclear weapon doesn’t take out a star destroyer, usually what follows after the nuke is an EMP.

Knowing that it is possible is half the battle when it comes to inventing new tech.
One thing the Empire has in its favor: cohesion. While on Earth, even in the face of alien invasion, we’d still continue to act as independent nations, all with individual battle plans and individual motives.
Well, if several nations that felt threatened by the USSR could form the NATO, I don't see why all nations in the world, threatened by an Alien invasion, could not form a Reb... eh, Resistance Alliance against the Empire.
Depends on how long we have to prepare. Before NATO, Warsaw Pact or before WW2, various militaries struggled to work together. But as these examples and many others in history show, competent professional militaries can combine forces efficiently. Especially given time
That is a theory. Facing doom unless subjugated would probably unite people. What is happening now is petty and powerstruggles. If we lose we lose all power. I highly doubt we would all lay down before we all stand. Earth is considered ours by everyone, the leaders might want it, but not because they deserve it.
I don't think you understand that when humanities backs are truly against the wall, humans know how to figure things out best.
If a giant space ship came and said they were going to occupy the planet, I think that would be equal to America's 9/11 globally amd world leaders would put a pause on their bullshit and say fuck that.
@@lba_e_ross2152 lmao, did you not watch the video? The whole scenario was on the premise of no orbital bombardment and attempting to occupy.
If this *were* a realistic scenario, why would the Empire devote that much force to take over a planet when they have the entire galaxy to hold at the same time. A complete waste of effort and they would lose hold over other planets over a single one.
This video is also using the movies as reference. Stormtroopers killed by rocks thrown by slings, walkers crushed by logs, and incompetent troopers with the ability to aim worth shit.

"The Galactic Empire lacks spine."
That sir, is a burn on a magnitude never seen before.
Vader has.
In my mind I rationalize Endor like this: Imperial equipment was designed to deal with threats that were at a similar technological to their own. It never occurred to the Empire to make armor that withstood clubs and rocks, or walkers that would have to deal with getting smashed by logs. If that's the case, we might actually do pretty okay against them in a ground invasion, however my suspicion is that we'd surrender long before that became a problem. The empire doesn't *have* to invade. They have but to sit up there in their nice, safe, city-sized ships and say, "Surrender now please, we have you surrounded," and if we had any sense that's exactly what we'd do, lest they melt the whole planet down to the fossil record.
Well that's a problem when you're gonna go up against a gun that are on Earth that can Penetrate straight right through walls no matter what I'm sorry I'm picking the US military forces here No way around it I'm sorry but I'm just going to go with that the way I think about it I say when military puts you through all stuff that's a lot better than what storm troops I've been through that shows you that's a lot more impressive and a lot more feats of what they got And that power they got is a lot more on their side Then storm troops I don't think storm troops arctica would stand any of these guns there are too much for their armor and their armor might have limits to that at this point.
And that tells you how do you even top any of that with US military forces I mean that what military has done over the years has sharked me at this point. In fact I think storm troops would be a lot more afraid of the US military Other countries that were on Earth that it makes them think they don't have enough firepower here That are that big of a deal That are a lot tougher here Even if they do know it they know they are up against Them Is in a trap situation.
In fact US military and all these countries will make the galactic Empire look like as if they would suck Instead of them on Earth I say Earth Is with the US military and all of our countries wins On Earth and in space.
Or the empire could just destroy a big city and say surrender or all your city will be like this! Also the empire really dont care about civillians so they could just use a bioweapons and just send a bom that contains a deadly virus to earth and boommmm they will just sit and wait until everyone dies and send a million of stormtrooper to clear the dead bodies
@@Gmal51 The Empire very clearly has space superiority. They can park in an orbit that we can't reach and make us sorry we thought we had a chance.

To those who don't get this joke, let me explain it in an oversimplified way:
The joke points out about how Earth/Terran Humans can adapt very fast compared to other species as well as non Earth Humans. The reason why Earthlings can adapt so fast is because of our habit on copy and pasting inventions really fast.
Examples are...
- Europeans making better versions of China's gunpowder inventions
- Japan being able to copy the drill from European countries
- The US allowing exiled German Scientists to work on Nuclear weapons during ww2
- The US copying the *Blitzkrieg* tactic from N@zi Germany

One thing you didn't consider is satellites. The empire would be able to destroy our satellite arrays with ease. This would destroy our ability to communicate and coordinate, which is the greatest strength of our modern military
Not really, modern advancements have created a new communication system in case the satellite network goes down from a cyberattack or is shot down by the anti-satellite missiles. It works from multiple warships or communication arrays that make an interlocking network that passes communication when orbital satellites are down. But it only works for the Western nations as being spread out needed cohesion from the military.

Yet it's still technologically inferior to something such as a MiG-21 or Dassualt AlphaJet. Even a B-57B. An A-10 Warthog, an outdated plane not even meant for air-to-air combat, would still smack it because the technology gap is surreal.

Knowing a bit of star wars lore the largest battle the empire took part in was over the forest moon of Endor. The imperial fleet had a grand total of, 35 star destroyers a super star destroyer and the death star. The empire was so overstretched that they couldn't spare to send too many more without the rebellion noticing or occupied worlds starting uprisings. For our world in our level of technology compared to theirs, even getting 2 star destroyers over our world would be excessive. Most likely some old flotilla of no more than 1 Venator with smaller support ships would stumble here. And they have weaker shields and less weapons than a victory or imperial 1 or 2 star destroyer.
How?
I personally feel that the empire and the civilisation in star wars is stagnating, technologically mainly. And its this factor that'll spell doom for the empire. Even if we'd get to their level we'd also push to beat them technologically as well. Seeing as how dominance over the enemy is our whole thing.
They have the same tech for thousands of years
@@alphagamer9505 Yeah like why? I know that there was a war in the SW universe that lasted so long and was so devastating that it resulted in people fighting each other with primitive weapons but to say that they haven't advanced their technology centuries after the war is ridiculous. Maybe they didn't want a repeat, IDK
@@Brother_O4TS My theories on why technology in the Star Wars universe is "stagnating" are from points of view from inverse and real life. George Lucas wanted the Star Wars universe to look and feel like a futuristic WWII/Vietnam battleground. Have you seen the movie, "Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow"? That's a weird movie from the perspective of how sci-fi/fantasy was envisioned from the 1930's of the future. In the real ever-expanding technology of Earth, close-quarter combat of aircraft is almost non-existent. Targets are hit with missiles hundreds of miles away without eye-contact. I think Lucas wanted Star Wars to have a particular feel of close-quarter combat which is awesome. Now onto why it appears technology in Star Wars is stagnating... I view the Star Wars "Universe" in the light of the God/Source/Force expansion of an earlier incarnation of time and space that is more limited than the Universe that includes Earth. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..." implies to me that certain technological achievements are not able to be "unlocked". What would take thousands of years for some worlds to evolve into a "modern" technological era only took Earth 300 years. My view is a mix of evolutionary/philosophical/technological reasons why we see a "stagnated" technology. Think about it, the Death Star was the biggest technological device ever constructed in the galaxy and it was only the size of a small moon, but hyperspace technology has been around for thousands of years connecting thousands of star systems with access to the latest technologies. From how Earth is progressing from the last 300 years alone, we will be beyond that Star Wars technology 300 years from now. Our current incarnation has more "unlocked" features in every aspect. That's just my views of it all.
@@demonicaxeman7264 Your probably right. The stagnating technology is for story reasons. Realistically, we could go beyond the technology of Star Wars, as you said.

@@jamesyap8364 Palpatine: Good. Gooood. Well done! Welcome to the Galactic Empire!
You forgot 2 aspects:
1. Slugthrowers [standard rifles] exist in Star Wars and Stortrooper armor can't withstand their shots;
2. Hacking into the Galactis Empire's network would also give Earth the opportunity to steal the necessary blueprints to reserve engineer the engines and power sources that the Empire uses.
A few points. Blasters have no stealth, which is likely why the Empire had forsaken camo. No use wasting credits that could go towards building the Death Star. I think a more interesting fight would be earth vs the Galactic Republic. Clone troopers are FAR more disciplined than storm troopers, and their weapons and gear are much higher quality. The Republic put more focus on Quality than quantity. That boils down to context though. The Republic was fighting a major galaxy spanning war, the Empire on the other hand already controlled the galaxy.
So the Empire's shock and awe doctrine is better designed to keeping down an already pacified civilian populace. All while keeping the gear cheap, if the Empire loses a bucket head, pull in the next schmuck and equip him with more cheap gear. Anything past rioting civilians and disgruntled nerf herders with their varmint shooters, the Empire has it's logistical network spanning the galaxy, plenty of bodies to throw at a problem. We can start to see why they eventually lost out to the Rebels, who where they could, invested in higher quality gear and starfighters.
Whether the Empire could win a war against earth depends on how much resources they could dedicate towards the invasion. But even in a "Victory" scenario, there would still be a guerrilla war going on all throughout the occupation, and would likely mirror their failures on Lothal. Cases in real wars show that a dedicated guerrilla army can match a technologically superior army. (See Vietnam and various Middle Eastern conflicts.)
Ultimately, if I were tasked with occupying Earth, I would try to take the planet through diplomacy and propaganda. I would offer individual nations membership into the Empire with a simple deal, run things as you like, pay Imperial taxes, get Imperial technology. Those nations would be propped up by that technology against their neighbors in the event that the neighbors become hostile. But good chance they will sign on too to avoid being left behind by the countries that joined the Empire. What's more, I could directly recruit new soldiers from Earth very easily, many would jump at the chance to leave to explore the galaxy. Without even taking the planet I could provide the Empire with the Earth's superior military personnel.
Just imagine how much they Empire could benefit from hiring a veteran from the Iraq war working as an adviser on how to put down some local insurrection on a distant alien planet.
If it really came down to an actual conflict though, why should I waste a single drop of Imperial blood? To fight a Terran, you send a Terran. Either, your allies win, or if they ultimately lose, Earth will have spent much blood and treasure to have ousted them. At this point, they should be battered, weak, and war weary. Invade, hopefully with a force that has learned a thing or two from Terran military doctrine or perhaps composed of Terrans loyal to the Empire. Reinstall Empire friendly leadership, and leave a garrison composed of Terrans, with Imperial overseers. Rinse and repeat the process, always have Terrans do the fighting for you, waste naught, want naught.
Start mining and build shipyards on Mars. I don't necessarily need full political control of Earth to exploit the star system's resources to feed the Imperial war machine.
Yeah, this post was longer than I planned. XD

I agree with the video, I just want to add few specification:
1) AT-ST can reach 90km/h on flat terrain and similar speeds in terrains most Earth vehicles couldn´t reach. They´re not that well armored, but their mobility could be important. AT-AT is still good only for parades though.
2) Stormtrooper armor is made to withstand heat of blaster fire, not power of gunfire. That´s why any bullet is going to go through as if the armor wouldn´t be there. It´s kinda weird, given that bullet shooting guns exist in Star Wars.
3) The cyber attack depends on how Star Wars computer works in comparison to Earth one. It propably would be possible to hack Imperial computers, but Earth would need to understand the computers first.

Empire: *comes to Earth to invade*

There's a couple problems with your arguments here. The main thing that I think you're missing is that the Empire would attempt to incentivize existing governments to join the Galactic Empire willingly. Essentially just show the kinds of technological advancements that could be achieved through sharing technology since in terms of space travel and artificial intelligence and energy production Earth is relatively incredibly backwards. Once they've gotten the most powerful Earth governments to agree to joining the Empire they would then slowly but surely let economics become the weapon that they use to bring the rest of the planet under control. They wouldn't need to launch a full scale invasion. Governments like in America, China and Russia would be tripping over themselves to destroy any dissenters in order to acquire that technology. Meanwhile the Empire is just using us to strip mine our own solar system for them.
Don't forget the military industrial complex that pretty much took over the U.S's checkbook. Give us a couple of TIE fighters and a light cruiser to research and Lockheed Martin would have a new fighter out as quick as possible and if the empire gave our government ships and mining equipment, we'd mine the entire solar system for materials and create our own fleet of star destroyers. Plus our spec ops teams could be used to train imperial troopers on guerilla warfare. Honestly, it would be a win win on both sides.
That is exactly what happened in some Star Wars side material. Empire incentivized the major governments of a world with huge economic leverage and give them an imperial garrison that recruits locally. Bam. Didn't even need to fire a single shot.
The practicalities of large scale war come down to logistics. The Star Destroyers could sit in orbit and strike factories, rail heads, sea ports and runways and they win. No matter the courage or POSSIBLE tactical advantage of Terran militaries, as soon as the Empire's ships hold the orbitals, there is no winning the war. :(
and we TOTALLY dont have missiles that could get them. totally.
@@Explodingtntfan I genuinely don't think any Terran militaries have a developed capacity to take down large targets outside of very low Earth orbit. ICBMs don't actually have very powerful rockets, in space terms. And their targeting systems really aren't set up for orbital targets either (probably). To add to the problem, nukes aren't great as space weapons, they would have to detonate in contact with the hull to do real damage. Could Terrans develop that sort of anti-spaceship weaponry versus high-orbiting targets, absolutely. Could we do it while under observation of a hostile force, without that force destroying the necessarily-large rockets first, I don't really think so. :)
High altitude nuclear detonation. Could destroy a Star Destroyer and disable the shields or electronics, creating massive fields or hunks of space debris the orbital invaders must dodge and move around, decreasing their effectiveness
@@nathanramage1275 I am not an expert, by any means, but I don't think that the explosion from a nuke will be very effective in near vacuum, unless in pretty-much-direct contact. And I would assume that a space-faring warship is pretty well armored against small debris, even moving at orbital speeds. But, again, I think the real problem is primarily range. As I understand them, ICBMs really only have the power to loft their payloads into sub-orbital or very low earth orbit, as that is all they need to create the necessary range. Once there, the warheads are un powered and un guided, and simply wouldn't be in a high enough orbit to reach the Star Destroyers. *shrug* That's my guess, anyway.
@@mrdragon5142 One, look up anti-satellite weapons. Two, did you just call Humans "Terrans"? GTFO with that bullshit. As for the ICBMs you mentioned in your other comment, I'd imagine they very much do have the power to do so. ICBMs don't just launch their payload up, they travel sort-of horizontally, minimizing time in orbit as to avoid detection, while also heading directly to the target. If you pointed an ICBM straight up, you just saved a shit ton of fuel that you can now use to go straight up.
I think just detonating a nuke in any battle may just scare them away from any attempt at a ground assault

Marrqi7 wini if people say Empire wins because Death Star, I point to the Sword of Terra.
@@xavi-kun Not only that; the culture and industry of the GTU is dedicated to war. The GE is fucked - slowly. But surely.
One thing about earth is we have truly mastered war. Something the Empire would certainly take into consideration. Not to mention our inability to surrender. An orbital bombardment may not be as effect when nukes and other missiles are involved. As soon as a fleet enters orbit we would certainly strike first. The Death Star is really the only option if a few thousand nukes don’t hit it first as soon as it’s in range.
Humans are just super violent and have relied on war throughout our existence so we’ve perfected it while in Star Wars there peaceful I don’t think they’ve needed a large military up into the clone wars so yea we probably could defend for a while but they would just get mad after we nuke there ships and then they would shoot us with Death Star because we’re so dangerous
You're over rating earth soooo much
I reckon this is what the empire would need to conquer earth
2 Star Destroyers, multiple TIE fighter and some ground troops to use for occupation when it is over.
First, destroy every satellite on earth, that gets instantly rid of any non-cable communication methods we have as well as GPS and, since it's in space, we can't do crap about it.
Then, start the bombardment.
Even if an ICBM manages to get into orbit and hit a destroyer (which I don't think would do anything because shields are a thing and ICBMS aren't precise to the meter, much less without GPS or other navigation methods) but, even IF it worked, and a destroyer was taken down...
Then just give the order, screw it, this planet is too backwards, glass it, the destroyer would retreat into a higher orbit from were no weapons could touch it and give an ultimatum, surrender or face total surface annihilation.
Imperial Win.
Even if they decided for some reason to use conventional methods like ground troops and aerial dogfight they would still hold the edge over us.
They have likely an army of millions with thousands of air fighters. Now, admittedly TIE fighters would go down rather quickly (tho they probably have some sort of long range radar to detect stuff like missiles so it is kinda dubious if our famous missiles would be able to hit them at all) but as soon as the units with shields get in, we're screwed.
For ground units they can just use Russian tactics and flood us with men, men with good armour, canonically good aim (remember what Obi Wan said about Stormtroopers being great marksman? It's just that heroes often have meters thick plot armour that deflects blaster fire) and they have bacta and other solutions (so downed soldiers could be brought right back into action in a matter of minutes or hours rather than weeks or months)
Overall their tech skill is way too high for us to overcome, especially in stuff like prosthetics and other methods, if a soldier loses a leg here on earth, that's it, he's no longer able to fight but if a stormtrooper loses it he can get a robot one and be back to the battlefield in a day.
About hacking... Maybe?
Except that, what you all seem to miss, is that they don't use USB, or standard computing, they're from a galaxy far far away, why the heck do we think they're gonna use normal computers?!
We'll need to first study their tech and coding If we want any hope at all to defeat their cyberdefense and that takes time.
Time that we'll not be given, because the empire will crush us.
(As an example, the rebels can hack into imperial systems quite easily... Because compared to them they at least are on the same tech field, we're trying to compare our computers to those of an empire which has figured out FTL flight, galaxy-wide colonisation, cloning, etc...)
So I ask again, what hope do we have?
If I had to say, this will be looking less like an actual war and more like War of the Worlds, our entire military struggling against a vastly superior enemy and failing at it for a while (tho in this case we may actually be able to down their walkers and TIE fighters given how badly they seem to be designed)
Or maybe the 7 hour war from Half Life? Something like that probably.
The empire better stay at Arms Lengths Because if hoomans get a single small starship the game is over, presumably we only need to hold the line till then and then the empire would be begging for mercy a few months after that

So I'll agree with the core premise, SW armies (as depicted on screen) are in most ways less effective at waging war than their modern terran counterparts, however I would argue they manage to look a hell of a lot cooler doing it.
of course, Star Wars is nothing more than the rule of cool.
How cool can you look with several large holes in your chest? sm
Honestly, I don't think Star Wars looks that cool. It's a unique aesthetic and I love it, and it's really cinematic, but realism and coolness..

@@Eepolz And they have boats with guns..... gunboats.

You forgot the fact that, although it is not clear how large the empire‘s army was, they at least hat around 1.75 billion stormtroopers and millions of star destroyers. The entire earth has like maybe a few million soldiers, which means that every single soldier would have to face at least a few hundred stormtroopers and at least 1 star destroyer. Yeah guys we definitely gonna win this
Broooooo...yeah, we toast, like Vader on Mustafar! Dont mention that though, weve already got it bad enough. We dont need Vaders wrath too!
Yeah but i dont think that they're gonna use every single soldier and destroyer for 1 planet,also,recruiting will boom due to the fact that they are fighting for their home planet
@@antoniothegunexpert5955 true. But, if Vader realizes just how much we know of him(basically his whole life), how screwed are we when he shows up?
Did the Empire ever have to invade an area where all of the civilians had assault rifles?
No need, destroy a big city to show what happens to trigger happy people.
The tuskin raiders use rifles. Rifles exist in Star Wars. The main con was ammo and bulkiness, hence most use blasters.
Texas huh?
@@2000jalebi except their slug throwers are primitive. Seemingly worse than lots of lever action rifles we have. An in shape soldier has no issue carrying 4 30 round mags of 5.56. That’s 120 bullets being fired in bursts or full and slug thrower were outlawed due to how effective they were. 5.56 green tip ammo would shred storm troopers to pieces. Meanwhile, blasters have been proven to move extremely slow in comparison. As in less than 30m/s. At 200m we could kill a storm trooper in a blink of an eye but we would have roughly 8 seconds to dodge a blaster bolt we could see coming at us.
@@mr.p215 the trigger happy people don’t live in big cities lol. They live spread out in the country sides where isolation would be their key. The empire has ridiculously primitive scanning devices compared to real life. Whole rebel groups of hundreds of people armed with AR-15s could go unnoticed and seeing how much faster 5.56 green tip is compared to blaster bolts, our soldiers could literally take out an entire battalion of storm troopers before their blaster boots could even hit them. Blasters have been calculated on screen to move at roughly 30m/s. Which is so slow.
I feel like the SCP foundation would just clap them back to the stone age.
insertions the amount of anomaly they have it would be one sided
No...? The SCP foundation's Mobile Task Force isn't even a strictly military force, it's special operatives for dealing with (usually immortal) objects and things.
They use about the same firearms as the rest of Earth except with less variety, which is a minor limit, but have you ever seen a Foundation tank or APC? No?
The Foundation's MTF divisions are basically just other nation's armies, except with fewer weapons, fewer people and no armored corps. They don't stand a chance against the nations of Earth, let alone the empire; An entire galaxy vs. a single NGO. Stormtroopers could defeat SCPF with their fists, for God's sake.
@@boxcarz I'm talking about the anomaly also.
@@somedude0921 I mean what if they send in Vader although it's on a different galaxy wouldn't he still be able to use the force?
JackComics Entertainment just show em 096 face ☠️ dead
I imagine the Empire would see our planet as extremely resource-rich, and therefore wouldn't want to destroy such a wealthy planet. And they're cocky: they'd try an invasion.
I would actually love to see this play out in a show. The idea of the Galactic Empire trying to invade and occupy earth would be such an interesting concept. Basically just Independence Day: Star Wars Edition lol
As for how it would even work, why not the ever so popular trope of "wormhole"
XD
Holy crap, I actually wanna write that now
Disney plus needs to get a series going. Vader has to be in it of course. But for it to work we’d need Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie
Would be a very short and boring show. Would just end up like mandalore. Just being realistic
@@rogueparagon9952 Fair enough
How many millions of backwater low tech planets has the empire occupied and subjugated? Earth would be no different.
I’m afraid we would be absolutely screwed if Thrawn is commanding the invasion force.
I think even he would reconsider invading after watching what we consider as "Art". (the Simpsons, Family Guy, Austin Powers and the Sequel Trilogy) He might see a Picaso and just call it a day.
I am not so sure. Thrawn is a genius but all the different cultures of earth would probably throw him off as one of the things that gives him a advantage is his understanding of different cultures and their flaws. And places like the U.S are mixed between all kinds of cultures due to call the people of different ethnic backgrounds. But then again he is a genius and would figure something out.
He may be a tactical genius but that couldn’t save them from the fact that their tech is horribly obsolete on every front except the ships themselves. Their blasters move at like 75mph. Meaning at sufficient distance, normal people could dodge them.
Their armor couldn’t stop actual bullets (in canon storm troopers lose to slug throwers e which are just bullets all the time)
@@RiceCubeTech perhaps Thrawn would simply enlist the use of a superpower here on Earth as an alternative then.
No. He would destroy or control the nuclear plants and military factories. He then would try to recruit any country to try to replicate our technology, then he would collect art from all over the world. He then would make a note to keep us divided and to make preparation in case of massive suicidal attacks.
We need to seperate between pre-Disney Empire and Disney-Empire. The Disney Empire would ram half of their fleet into the moon first, blow up the other half on orders of Tarkin and then confuse vulcanos for command bases losing their whole invasion army as a result.
Lol
Yup
Destroying the moon would fuck us up as well btw
i am guessing that the pre-disney empire is smarter.
Luckily, it seems that the Templin Intitute used mostly Original Trilogy content for their analysis of Imperial capabilities.
It’s also noted that blaster bolts travel slower and have a shorter range than ballistic weapons
Speed and range is variable, even from the same weapon. Clonetroopers and droids has engaged each other from hundreds of meters away or maybe even a kilometer, with bolts travelling as fast as a bullet.
they dont only have the normal blasters u see in movies theu also have sniperlike weaphons far more advanced than ur regular sniper rifle
