      @@Azorees-oj5zr The writers at Disney don't believe in competence. Their framing of politics can't accept that the people in the higher ranks of the Empire will likely be pretty good at their jobs or exceptionally good at playing the bureaucracy. That's why characters like General Hux are just petty laughingstocks. They have to be corrupt nepotism hires or tyrannical bullies. I'm a little scared to see how Thrawn is portrayed by them.

The Lasat species is rather new to Star Wars. It’s pronunciation was made known on the show Rebels. Where did you hear it pronounced the way you say it? Was it on Rebels? I’ve never heard it that way. It being a newer word in this context, and not an actual race spoke of for centuries.

    At 29:12 is not entirely correct. Cassian Andor was ordered to assassinate Galen Erso, do to the importance of Erso to the Empire. He could not bring himself to go through with the assassination. But another force was sent by the Rebel Alliance to attack the base, which in their attack mortally wounded Erso. The intention of freeing Erso was by his daughter and the rest of the groups, Andor only played along to get a chance to assassinate Erso. At about 134:40 it was the commander of Blizzard 1 in an AT-AT that took out the power generator at the Rebel base at Hoth, not Vader as the video shows. The audio is correct here, but is confused by the video of a tie interceptor firing on the power generator.

      Nice clarification of these errors. There have been a few other errors that I've noticed as well, and I'm only up to the beginning of the events depicted in "The Empire Strikes Back." There is a lot to go through for the crew at Wizards and Warriors, so I suppose errors are bound to happen. (fyi, perhaps his name isn't mentioned for any number of reasons, but the commander of Blizzard 1 was General Veers. "Yes, Lord Vader, we've reached the power generator. The shield will be down in moments. You may start your landing.")

      Some much-much-needed complexity was mercifully reintroduced in Andor. I believe we owe that to Tony Gilroy not being a Star Wars superfan - he's actually capable of thinking and writing beyond one's info bubble. The political/family drama of Mon Mothma and the thrilling Luthen Rael subplot were some of the best pieces of sci-fi to be found in recent decades.
      Shame so many "fans" immediately hated it and declared it a borefest just because there wasn't an action scene every 15 minutes.

      The only cohesive part of Legends Galactic Civil War between Return of the Jedi and Heir to the Empire was the X-Wing series, outside of that there was tons of material that didn’t fit together and contradicted.

      I think current canon wraps up too soon and Legends drags its feet far too long with the GCW personally-- though meta-wise, that's because when a lot of Legends was being written, the PT didn't exist yet so the only conceivable story was continuing the GCW. Not to mention Dark Empire being the first case of "Somehow Palpatine returned", and it was as dumb then as it is now.

      It’s plot armor to not die in a situation you’d definitely otherwise die in with no logical, in universe reason at all.

    I cannot wait for them to do a series on the empire ,that take place after the events of Rise of Skywalker episode IX,
    According to Book Cannon, Admiral Daala and Pellaeon team up and save the empire, and reform it...making it like a imperial republic empire like Rome, only no evil sith ever again to rule it.
    in order for this to happen in a tv series hopefully it will be considered, it will take place many years past. but it could be alot like the movies only in show form.
    7 - 10 seasons maybe.
    and all their old MK I's II's and III's will be replaced with their new MK IV's and a variety of new and improved ships.
    all old ships will be scrapped and replaced by better and newer ones...
    the main ISD's at this point will be MK IV's replacing the old I, II's and III's, etc...
    weapons, troops, gear looking alot like modern variants of clone gear etc...better training, improved everything.
    the Star Imperials will be Admiral Natasi Daala and Admiral Gilad Pellaeon, among many others Imperials and Republican and jedi as well.

    the more i learn about star wars lore, the less impressed i am. I used to be a fan, but the sheer incompetence and the unflattering scale of combat is just so unrealistic and disappointing. 22 ships for a capital battle like Yavin? In WWII a major confrontation consisted of hundreds of aircraft on each side; but you tell me an intergalatic conflict of desperate proportions can only field 22 ships? versus 7000 TIES on the death star? They should have been swatted out of the sky in seconds. Thawne? Carried away by space whales? What are the guns on the ship for?
    Admittedly, Vader crushing several squads of aircraft and companies of men was pretty awesome, and was one of the better written segments. But then he runs off without keeping an eye on a major rebel leader just to take out someone who challenged his power? A true sith would have just killed her and moved on.
    there are also so many instances of imperial star destroyers hanging back and doing jack all instead of surrouding a pathetic rebel fleet with TINY ships as compared to them and obliterating them for NO reason.
    i know that there are fans of the series, but today's explanation has solidified what i suspected all along - the series is badly written by people who have no sense of scale and storytelling. By no means am i condemming fans of the series, but i have been disappointed so many times i find it hard to continue to be part of the fandom. :(

    the Disney version of Post ROTJ is just baffling. I will never understand the point of killing off the Empire in one year. Like why? What do you gain narratively? Having peace for the next 29 years until the First Order comes in the Sequels where nothing happens, is that in any way interesting? You could have so many cool warlord storylines and the empire gradually loses in favor of the New Republic by smartly playing off imperial factions but no, the rebels just win after one big battle. Such wasted potential and opportunity. If you want to explain how the empire lost so that the first order could happen, you don't need to kill off the empire immediately to explain something that won't happen for another 30 years. The Empire lost Endor, Vader, Palpatine, and a huge fleet but they still commanded the resources of the entire galaxy while the Rebels were still a ragtag group. They still got 10+ Super Star Destroyers but Disney wanted to kill them off so fast that the reasons they give for them losing those ships is absurd. Like one of them got stolen by fucking pirates, you serious? Imagine if the US Navy lost an aircraft carrier to Somali pirates on fishing boats. Like Bruh you can't make this up. Then you got Operation Cinder where the Empire literally destroy its own loyal planets for no reason besides Palpy got butthurt and rage quit. It was a contingency that the Empire destroy itself after he died because the empire couldn't protect him, making him lose any nuisance or complexity to his character, turning him into a petty cartoon villain crybaby. Even if officers were extremely loyal to him, I find it hard for them and the soldiers under them to carry out his orders. They would potentially destroy their own homeworld and kill their own families and friends on the planets they protected. That's ludicrous especially if they knew Palpy was dead so why listen to a dead man anyway? You kill off the empire in one year just so you can retcon them back in the Mandoverse shows where apparently warlods and Thrawn do exist. If you want to tell more imperial stories years after Endor, why have the empire surrender after one year in the first place and shoot yourself in the foot then? They had to write the New Republic in the Ahsoka show as clowns for that to happen. The Empire loses most of their hardware on Jakku, a desert planet with no importance in terms of galactic politics. Let's bet all of our eggs in one basket to an inferior enemy over a planet with no resources except it takes place in the Sequels all because JJ wanted nostalgia star destroyer on the planet. The Empire that still controlled 90% of the galaxy after Endor losing to rebels in one year is like the US Superpower Military loses to Taliban forces in Afghanistan and then immediately after, the braindead Taliban launches an invasion of the Continental US and somehow wins by winning a single battle in the desert of Nevada where for some reason braindead Washington sent most of their military assets to defend, then the still numerically superior surviving US forces overreact and completely abandon the entire country after losing just Nevada to the unknown regions of Canada. Then they watch while the Taliban takes every city without a fight for 29 years just to come back and retake the same territory they would still be in control of if they didn't leave in the first place. Good video, but holy shit their worldbuilding is awful.

      I will disagree on one point: Palpatine was NOT complex or nuanced. He _should_ be, given how smart he could be and how well he pretended to be, but he wasn't. Palpatine is NOT realistically evil. He's just evil, and he loves it. He's not Doofenschmirtz, tied to tragic backstory, or Thanos, who genuinely believes he's doing the right thing, or Sauron, who started with good intentions, even retained them to some degree, but lost his way and focused more and more on taking power. Just killing people out of spite, or even for amusement, is absolutely a thing creamy Sheev would do.

    Thanks for this - short summary. It would be useful to see a similar production for the eras from 4000 BBY (or earlier) when the force became usable, and the Jedi and Sith emerged and grew as [institutions]/movements. The 9 films only cover 32 BBY - 35 ABY. This time line includes Solo and Rogue One and all the current TV series.
    But the history is deep and long (at least to 1,000,000 BBY). Starting with the Celestia Era (c 1,000,00-40,000 BBY); then the era of the Dawn of the Jedi (36,453 BBY) and first Force Wars (25,793 BBY), a host of subsequent expansions, crusades and conflicts, leading up to Old-Republic (25,000-1,000 BBY), High-Republic (500-100 BBY), Rise of Empire/Fall of the Jedi (100-19BBY), Age of Rebellion (3BBY-4ABY), New Republic (5-34ABY), Rise of First Order (34-35 ABY), New Jedi Order/Legacy etc.. (50ABY - unknown)
