@@CascadianRanger yeah... well when you know imperial remnants in the outer rim are super militaristic. Getting at least some militsry might be a good idea. I mean hell. How would you even stop something like criminal empires from just taking over? "Those without swords can still die upon them."
@@TheIfifi they basically did as the republic did before the clone wars. Regional and planetary military's and security. They did have a a military, it was just very limited
"In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganize into the FIRST GALACTIC EMPIRE! For a safe and secure society!"
The Empires main weakness was its obsessive centralization of power in the hands of Palpatine. No succession, no anti-corruption, no optimally efficient operation. The Empire had a chance at working, but to do that it had to create institutions that weren’t entirely based around one Sith Lord living for all of eternity.
The empire did punish corruption, for instance there would occasionally be imperial officers who would double dip and sell guns to the rebels. When they were caught they were executed…
Funny thing is, the master of its creation was the blacksmith of its downfall. Firstly, he quite literally had a plan in motion after Endor to help destroy the Empire. Then he also chose to constantly put faith in overpowered but centralized weapons.
Remember, loyal Citizens of the Galactic Empire and His Imperial Majesty’s military and navy. The Imperial Security Bureau is your friend. Trust the Security Bureau.
@Max Smith We shall have a Star Destroyer base/delta/zero your area ASAP. If you live you shall be a hero. If not you die gloriously for Emperor and Empire!
best tribute to empire was given actually by some of its most ardent opponents: Wedge: "We're going to face them with an enemy they've never had the displeasure of fighting. We're going to hit them with the Empire." Tycho: "They're not going to like the Empire."
Suddenly have an image of the Lusankya bearing down on the Vong and there's a message stenciled along the prow of the ship... "Have a Nice day!" And on the back of the ship: "We break for no one!"
In Universe, it was Palps, the xenophobia, all the corruption he allowed and the Tarkin Doctrine, if none of that had existed, then the Galactic Empire could have been something good, but hey, Palpie wanted to plunge the whole Universe into Darkness.
@@onrch I think we can still have a choice to enjoy legends. Legends EU timeline or Canon squeal timeline, pick up one that you like. All pick both of them if you wish.
I know this would never happen, but I want a series based on the Imperial's viewpoint; not the cliche "Oh No we're the bad guys, let's switch sides!" kind of story, but the story of an imperial admiral who believes the empire can bring order to the galaxy, a Tie Fighter who wanted to be a great hero for the empire, and stormtrooper who wanted revenge & justice on the rebels who kill a love one of his. In other words, people who truly believe the empire can do good and are willing to fight for it.
Even better (albeit tragic and painful to watch), a Stormtrooper who's wife and kids were killed by Rebels. And after he retires, he remains bitter against the New Republic.
@@tinobemellowThere was an ISB agent in the Empire's End book series that lost his family in a New Republic bombing of an Imperial prison installation and attacked a New Republic pilot over it in Maz Kanata's castle.
It's not just a belief, the Empire actually brought order, security, jobs, thriving economy and trade to the galaxy. It was also a pan-galactic empire where all species was included, so not racist, it also tried to reduce to the bare minimum the victims of its campaigns, while other forces like the Jedi, despite self-proclaimed "keepers of peace" really had a passion for violence and murdering. Not to mention meddling in the democratic process by determine for and by themselves what a "democracy" should be and how it must run. The Empire, unlikely the former corrupt Republic, gave power to regional regions and sectors to self-rule themselves in the name of the Emperor. So no more waitings the Galactic Senate would fix their problems. I never saw a decentralized Empire in my life. This is the only available example. Surely the imperials was less patient with rebels and terrorists, but again, we talk about rebels and terrorists, not peaceful citizens. One can argue that the life of normal citizens was more hard with the Empire, but at the same time we have to remember that thanks to the redustribution of wealth, much more people in the Galaxy had the chance to obtain a decent life... and that imply that others, formely rich communities, had to ceed part of their wealth for a greater good. Isn't that democracy? Isn't that Justice? The Empire wasn't the bad guys. Maybe the Emperor, a dark sith lord but, even in that case, we have to admit that it was by his orders if the Empire was able to obtain such progressive goals. The Republic instead left the galaxy in such state of retrograde state, with even slavery left untouched in some places of the galaxy, only because they believed that the opinion of such discutible persons should be considered and respected. That's not democracy, that's corruption. I see the same values of the old fascist Italy in such Empire and I can't stop myself to think if that regime wasn't worthy of something after all. But again, the current Republic is way better. We have yield some of the heritages kf the regime while refusing others and we have mixed them into our new Republic. One day a new Caesar will rise and lead the Republic to the new Empire. A just Empire. An Empire that will repair at the wrongs suffered and tribute justice for all our people that was left in the dust by those corrupt "western" republics that talk so much about democracy while leaving this world to the mercé of tyrants and warlords only to protect their pitiful, mediocre and sad interests, ignoring by that, the needs of billions of people. Long Live the Empire!
If Vader and his wingman were in TIE Defenders, especially if Vader was flying one modified to his specifications, the Millennium Falcons shot wouldn't have taken out Vader's wing men and Luke would have ended up dead or captured.

@@LetholdusKaspyr That's how sad it is, and then they introduced the new Death Troopers, and they turned out the same, but without large scale battles or a show that focuses on the military aspect of SW, the Stormtrooper Corp will never shine as it should, just in cómics
xX Valtiel Xx Yep. The thing is- the „Stormtroopers can’t do shit“ stereotype hasn’t even been started by the main movies. In Ep.4, they Stormtroopers intentionally let the protagonists escape to find the rebel base. In Ep.5, the Stormtroopers absolutely mop the floor with the rebel forces in open combat. In Ep.6 it’s much the same, until they are overwhelmed by superior numbers (also keep in mind that Ewoks are literally mini-Wookies, they can mash in your head with their staffs and maces), terrain advantage and sheer luck. In the expanded univerSe they’re much the same: Ruthless, expertly trained and skilled elite forces crushing any resistance they meet (unless they’re up against main characters). The internet made them a meme, and somehow that fucking joke counts more than the actual evidence of their superior skill.
Every time I see the Death Troopers jump off the Tie Reaper in Rogue One, I always end up wanting a Short series that follows a Squad of Death Troopers that have a Hardcore loyalty to the Empire.
"All this talk of the Empire and they lasted less than thirty years." Really puts it in perspective. The Empire was pretty much an eyeblink in galactic history, especially compared to the Republic's 25,000 years of existence in various forms, yet the horrific scars it left on the galaxy would never fade.
@@spiffygonzales5899 can we all stop pretending one canon is better than the other they both sucked for keeping palpatine alive and agree that everything else is fair game?

Please note that in the Legends Universe, the Galactic Empire had a much more enduring legacy than the canon one that ended at Exegol. There was officially a 2nd Galactic Empire in legends, that which was ruled by the Fel dynasty of Imperial hardliners, and it may be taken that as many as 3 more also existed: the Dark Empire, in its heyday, was semi-Galactic; the Galactic Alliance under Commandant Jacen Solo/ Darth Caedus might as well have been a de facto empire, and really the Fel dynasty's Empire ended with Darth Caedus' coup, which brought about a galaxy-wide Sith empire.
Oh this was fantastic. I really enjoy y’all’s extended videos where you can really sink into the endless lore surrounding factions as faceted and dominant as the Galactic Empire.
Citizens of the civilized galaxy, on this day we mark a transition. For a thousand years, the Republic stood as the crowning achievement of civilized beings. But there were those who would set us against one another, and we took up arms to defend our way of life against the Separatists. In so doing, we never suspected that the greatest threat came from within. The Jedi, and some within our own Senate, had conspired to create the shadow of Separatism using one of their own as the enemy's leader. They had hoped to grind the Republic into ruin. But the hatred in their hearts could not be hidden forever. At last, there came a day when our enemies showed their true natures. The Jedi hoped to unleash their destructive power against the Republic by assassinating the head of government and usurping control of the clone army. But the aims of would-be tyrants were valiantly opposed by those without elitist, dangerous powers. Our loyal clone troopers contained the insurrection within the Jedi Temple and quelled uprisings on a thousand worlds. The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated! Any collaborators will suffer the same fate. These have been trying times, but we have passed the test. The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning. In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. An Empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body and a sovereign ruler chosen for life. An Empire ruled by the majority, ruled by a new constitution! By bringing the entire galaxy under one law, one language, and the enlightened guidance of one individual, the corruption that plagued the Republic in its later years will never take root. Regional governors will eliminate the bureaucracy that allowed the Separatist movement to grow unchecked. A strong and growing military will ensure the rule of law. Under the Empire's New Order, our most cherished beliefs will be safeguarded. We will defend our ideals by force of arms. We will give no ground to our enemies and will stand together against attacks from within or without. Let the enemies of the Empire take heed: those who challenge Imperial resolve will be crushed. We have taken on a task that will be difficult, but the people of the Empire are ready for the challenge. Because of our efforts, the galaxy has traded war for peace and anarchy for stability. Billions of beings now look forward to a secure future. The Empire will grow as more planets feel the call, from the Rim to the wilds of unknown space. Imperial citizens must do their part. Join our grand star fleet. Become the eyes of the Empire by reporting suspected insurrectionists. Travel to the corners of the galaxy to spread the principles of the New Order to barbarians. Build monuments and technical wonders that will speak of our glory for generations to come. The clone troopers, now proudly wearing the name of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example. The New Order of peace has triumphed over the shadowy secrecy of shameful magicians. The direction of our course is clear. I will lead the Empire to glories beyond imagining. We have been tested, but we have emerged stronger. We move forward as one people: the Imperial citizens of the first Galactic Empire. We will prevail. Ten thousand years of peace begins today!
Actually after the battle of Endor, Empire was separated and many of admirals became warlords in attempt to take the emperor's throne. Because of that the New Republic can take advantage by destroy an battalion who won the battle.
The Dark Brotherhood from the Elder Scrolls universe would be an interesting lore video. I am curious how you guys would do another lore video about assassins.
Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of all the clone troopers becoming geriatric old farts in the space of a decade or so, thanks to super duper rapid aging processes.

“The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed. But I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger. In order to preserve the ongoing security and stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the FIRST. GALACTIC. EMPIRE!!!!! For a safe and secure society.”
This was probably one of the best starwars synopsis videos ever. If you have a person that has never seen any starwars material have them watch this and they will be caught up.
The Grand Republic was a galactic institution dedicated on ensuring peace force its citizens and had aaid from the ancient jedi order. The Galactic Empire was the most ambitious and powerful organization ever seen in galactic galactic history with weaponry capableof destroying entire worlds with ease. The New Republic relegated the majority of their forces to a single system and was vanquished by a single blast from Starkiller base. The First Order aspired to rule the galaxy just like its predecessor and yet, with an even greater arsenal, they failed to defeat a puny band of misfits.
The fight the rebels had against the empire was sound in logic and planning- especially in the lore, fighting a war of attrition with hit and run while having their bases highly mobile. The base on Hoth was designed around being completely evacuated of all manpower and personnel within a few hours. The eventual defeat of the empire came from a thousands cuts with the Death Star loss’s being the two fatal stabs that started the downfall after being galvanized by the destruction of Alderaan. The “resistance” has nothing of note in terms of planning or execution, nor does their operating procedures make any sense. They have only plot armor to make them seem like the rebels but in every way worse against an enemy portrayed as the extreme evil- worse than the empire, without any backstory to speak of. My opinion, the fight between the rebels and the empire is the best way wars should be fought against a massive superior enemy- not that suicide attacks the resistance did.
@@assult878 I agree that episodes 4-6 did a much better job of displaying how the rebel alliance executed the Star Wars equivalent of guerilla warfare and not just having them win by default because of plot.

I love this content because it tells the story from the opposing perspective. It allows the consumer to see both sides of the conflict which engages the mind more readily and makes for a more interesting experience.
I wonder how the tie fighter’s performance would’ve been improved if they simply installed some external cameras to increase the pilot’s field of view. It’s one of the main disadvantages of most, if not, all tie variants.
I think it would have helped a whole lot to the pilots giving them lots of awareness. Considering they do not have on board sensors for other starfighters it would have been a major advantage over any other Voidcraft. Hence they could simply look where the enemy was wich as you are well aware is helpful, and this would also make the pilots be able to use more of the TIE advantages TL:DR You're a genius
Finally, been waiting for this one since the channel started. I do like it being documented from a certain point of view and that it is also the longest faction video done so far on this channel. The galaxy thanks you for your loyal service to the Galactic Empire.
@@jlokison Rakatan Infinite Empire occupied about 500 worlds known worlds but controlled the entire unknown rim aswell as the core and mid rim and parts of the outher rim at the time they existed they occupied all planets that contained life, thats litterally on par to the empire. Issues here is that due to the nature of the subject and canonity of it its hard to truly pin point the actual numbers. Seing as the Infinite empire is litterally called the strongest empire in the old republic era and thats alot bigger then 500 worlds or so mentioned. Lore wise they are considered the first major power. So big and strong that the entirety of the galaxy more or less banded together to deal with them leading indirectly to the creation of the old republic.
@@jlokison the only reason why the Rakatans crumbled is they got some kind of force sensitive illness which made them all regress to barbarism so their empire quickly collapsed.
@@Brakiros The Rakata had technology that could only be operated by someone using the Dark Side of the Force. The disease stripped them of their Force sensitivity, so their Empire fell because they couldn't so much as even switch on the lights anymore.
Can you make an updated video on the First Order.... which includes Snoke's death, the Supremacy ship getting wrecked, the Battle of Crait and the planets that the First Order occupied, invaded, or destroyed leading up to the events of Rise of Skywalker... and do a video on the Imperial Remnant (both in Canon and Legends) if possible please...
If I'm not mistaken, that first order settled on jedi secret planet Ilum. They used kyber crustal and core of the planet to power their super weapon. But seems that Jedi will need to find new material for light sabers.
I love how they do the review of said empires, gov, people's, etc. In said respected universes lore while also being informative a good balance. So Jedi are traitors cause that's what the history books would say in that universe. Or how the emperor isn't a sith Lord and just the Senate. If you get what I mean.

@@L0stEngineer Well, they have their own cosmic horrors. Firce users of all kind, zombie-plagues, giant monsters that could destroy a huge ship, threats from the unknown regions and maybe even trans-galactical invaders...

Still cute by the standards of what the Imperium has to deal with ^^
I mean the fact that its about you know....Wars? makes it inherently political. War is like the most base form of Politics its just done through mass violence instead of diplomacy it is what it is
SgtKaneGunlock It’s not the most base form of politics, but it is one form that much is true. More importantly : you can totally do stories about wars that’d be in no way political, instead focusing only on characters’ reactions to hardship and fighting, and/or strategy, and/or action.
I wish the Empire in the legend universe would have been chosen to be the main source of the video, would be more deeper and better than the Canon version.
They definitely used the Legends version of the Republic, which had a military history spanning thousands of years. The canon version hadn't fought war in a millennium and had a military history spanning only a few decades.

In Universe, it was Palps, the xenophobia, all the corruption he allowed and the Tarkin Doctrine, if none of that had existed, then the Galactic Empire could have been something good, but hey, Palpie wanted to plunge the whole Universe into Darkness.
That and a lack of elite fighter support and a obsession with superweapons.

I know this would never happen, but I want a series based on the Imperial's viewpoint; not the cliche "Oh No we're the bad guys, let's switch sides!" kind of story, but the story of an imperial admiral who believes the empire can bring order to the galaxy, a Tie Fighter who wanted to be a great hero for the empire, and stormtrooper who wanted revenge & justice on the rebels who kill a love one of his. In other words, people who truly believe the empire can do good and are willing to fight for it.
Read Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn.
Ok
Even better (albeit tragic and painful to watch), a Stormtrooper who's wife and kids were killed by Rebels. And after he retires, he remains bitter against the New Republic.
@@tinobemellowThere was an ISB agent in the Empire's End book series that lost his family in a New Republic bombing of an Imperial prison installation and attacked a New Republic pilot over it in Maz Kanata's castle.
It's not just a belief, the Empire actually brought order, security, jobs, thriving economy and trade to the galaxy.
It was also a pan-galactic empire where all species was included, so not racist, it also tried to reduce to the bare minimum the victims of its campaigns, while other forces like the Jedi, despite self-proclaimed "keepers of peace" really had a passion for violence and murdering.
Not to mention meddling in the democratic process by determine for and by themselves what a "democracy" should be and how it must run.
The Empire, unlikely the former corrupt Republic, gave power to regional regions and sectors to self-rule themselves in the name of the Emperor. So no more waitings the Galactic Senate would fix their problems. I never saw a decentralized Empire in my life. This is the only available example.
Surely the imperials was less patient with rebels and terrorists, but again, we talk about rebels and terrorists, not peaceful citizens.
One can argue that the life of normal citizens was more hard with the Empire, but at the same time we have to remember that thanks to the redustribution of wealth, much more people in the Galaxy had the chance to obtain a decent life... and that imply that others, formely rich communities, had to ceed part of their wealth for a greater good.
Isn't that democracy? Isn't that Justice?
The Empire wasn't the bad guys. Maybe the Emperor, a dark sith lord but, even in that case, we have to admit that it was by his orders if the Empire was able to obtain such progressive goals.
The Republic instead left the galaxy in such state of retrograde state, with even slavery left untouched in some places of the galaxy, only because they believed that the opinion of such discutible persons should be considered and respected.
That's not democracy, that's corruption.
I see the same values of the old fascist Italy in such Empire and I can't stop myself to think if that regime wasn't worthy of something after all.
But again, the current Republic is way better. We have yield some of the heritages kf the regime while refusing others and we have mixed them into our new Republic.
One day a new Caesar will rise and lead the Republic to the new Empire.
A just Empire. An Empire that will repair at the wrongs suffered and tribute justice for all our people that was left in the dust by those corrupt "western" republics that talk so much about democracy while leaving this world to the mercé of tyrants and warlords only to protect their pitiful, mediocre and sad interests, ignoring by that, the needs of billions of people.

xX Valtiel Xx Yep. The thing is- the „Stormtroopers can’t do shit“ stereotype hasn’t even been started by the main movies.
In Ep.4, they Stormtroopers intentionally let the protagonists escape to find the rebel base.
In Ep.5, the Stormtroopers absolutely mop the floor with the rebel forces in open combat.
In Ep.6 it’s much the same, until they are overwhelmed by superior numbers (also keep in mind that Ewoks are literally mini-Wookies, they can mash in your head with their staffs and maces), terrain advantage and sheer luck.
In the expanded univerSe they’re much the same: Ruthless, expertly trained and skilled elite forces crushing any resistance they meet (unless they’re up against main characters).
The internet made them a meme, and somehow that fucking joke counts more than the actual evidence of their superior skill.

"All this talk of the Empire and they lasted less than thirty years."
Really puts it in perspective. The Empire was pretty much an eyeblink in galactic history, especially compared to the Republic's 25,000 years of existence in various forms, yet the horrific scars it left on the galaxy would never fade.
By the same token, A certain Reich only existed for 12 years, and yet its effects on our planet can't be overstated.

Please note that in the Legends Universe, the Galactic Empire had a much more enduring legacy than the canon one that ended at Exegol. There was officially a 2nd Galactic Empire in legends, that which was ruled by the Fel dynasty of Imperial hardliners, and it may be taken that as many as 3 more also existed: the Dark Empire, in its heyday, was semi-Galactic; the Galactic Alliance under Commandant Jacen Solo/ Darth Caedus might as well have been a de facto empire, and really the Fel dynasty's Empire ended with Darth Caedus' coup, which brought about a galaxy-wide Sith empire.

Citizens of the civilized galaxy, on this day we mark a transition. For a thousand years, the Republic stood as the crowning achievement of civilized beings. But there were those who would set us against one another, and we took up arms to defend our way of life against the Separatists. In so doing, we never suspected that the greatest threat came from within.
The Jedi, and some within our own Senate, had conspired to create the shadow of Separatism using one of their own as the enemy's leader. They had hoped to grind the Republic into ruin. But the hatred in their hearts could not be hidden forever. At last, there came a day when our enemies showed their true natures.
The Jedi hoped to unleash their destructive power against the Republic by assassinating the head of government and usurping control of the clone army. But the aims of would-be tyrants were valiantly opposed by those without elitist, dangerous powers. Our loyal clone troopers contained the insurrection within the Jedi Temple and quelled uprisings on a thousand worlds.
The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated! Any collaborators will suffer the same fate. These have been trying times, but we have passed the test. The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning. In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. An Empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body and a sovereign ruler chosen for life. An Empire ruled by the majority, ruled by a new constitution!
By bringing the entire galaxy under one law, one language, and the enlightened guidance of one individual, the corruption that plagued the Republic in its later years will never take root. Regional governors will eliminate the bureaucracy that allowed the Separatist movement to grow unchecked. A strong and growing military will ensure the rule of law.
Under the Empire's New Order, our most cherished beliefs will be safeguarded. We will defend our ideals by force of arms. We will give no ground to our enemies and will stand together against attacks from within or without. Let the enemies of the Empire take heed: those who challenge Imperial resolve will be crushed.
We have taken on a task that will be difficult, but the people of the Empire are ready for the challenge. Because of our efforts, the galaxy has traded war for peace and anarchy for stability. Billions of beings now look forward to a secure future. The Empire will grow as more planets feel the call, from the Rim to the wilds of unknown space.
Imperial citizens must do their part. Join our grand star fleet. Become the eyes of the Empire by reporting suspected insurrectionists. Travel to the corners of the galaxy to spread the principles of the New Order to barbarians. Build monuments and technical wonders that will speak of our glory for generations to come.
The clone troopers, now proudly wearing the name of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example.
The New Order of peace has triumphed over the shadowy secrecy of shameful magicians. The direction of our course is clear. I will lead the Empire to glories beyond imagining.
We have been tested, but we have emerged stronger. We move forward as one people: the Imperial citizens of the first Galactic Empire. We will prevail. Ten thousand years of peace begins today!
Then Return of the Jedi happened.

The Grand Republic was a galactic institution dedicated on ensuring peace force its citizens and had aaid from the ancient jedi order.
The Galactic Empire was the most ambitious and powerful organization ever seen in galactic galactic history with weaponry capableof destroying entire worlds with ease.
The New Republic relegated the majority of their forces to a single system and was vanquished by a single blast from Starkiller base.
The First Order aspired to rule the galaxy just like its predecessor and yet, with an even greater arsenal, they failed to defeat a puny band of misfits.
The fight the rebels had against the empire was sound in logic and planning- especially in the lore, fighting a war of attrition with hit and run while having their bases highly mobile. The base on Hoth was designed around being completely evacuated of all manpower and personnel within a few hours. The eventual defeat of the empire came from a thousands cuts with the Death Star loss’s being the two fatal stabs that started the downfall after being galvanized by the destruction of Alderaan.
The “resistance” has nothing of note in terms of planning or execution, nor does their operating procedures make any sense. They have only plot armor to make them seem like the rebels but in every way worse against an enemy portrayed as the extreme evil- worse than the empire, without any backstory to speak of.
My opinion, the fight between the rebels and the empire is the best way wars should be fought against a massive superior enemy- not that suicide attacks the resistance did.
The New Republic didn't get destroyed, just the then senate representatives who were all convened in that system.

Can The Templin Institute do a video on the Sith Empire from Star Wars the Old Republic?
I love this content because it tells the story from the opposing perspective. It allows the consumer to see both sides of the conflict which engages the mind more readily and makes for a more interesting experience.
Now that this empire is out of the way, do the Irken empire (Invader Zim) and the Great Diamond Authority (Steven Universe).
feeling more invested in a 20 minute video talking about a fictional empire than studying a real-life one
I wonder how the tie fighter’s performance would’ve been improved if they simply installed some external cameras to increase the pilot’s field of view. It’s one of the main disadvantages of most, if not, all tie variants.
I think it would have helped a whole lot to the pilots giving them lots of awareness. Considering they do not have on board sensors for other starfighters it would have been a major advantage over any other Voidcraft. Hence they could simply look where the enemy was wich as you are well aware is helpful, and this would also make the pilots be able to use more of the TIE advantages
TL:DR
You're a genius
Great job, you guys! That was one of your best to date!
You’re narratives are amazing! Think you can do a bit on expanded universe? In the EU or Legends the Galactic Civil War lasted about another 40 years
This is my new favorite channel! You make it seem like actual history the way you narrate
Finally, been waiting for this one since the channel started. I do like it being documented from a certain point of view and that it is also the longest faction video done so far on this channel. The galaxy thanks you for your loyal service to the Galactic Empire.
These longer profiles videos are great! I can't wait for the next ones! :-D (Maybe one about Project Wildfire, from "The Andromeda Strain"?)
Sweet now do the one from Legend of the Galactic Heroes
Do you ever plan on covering The Sith Empire from the old republic era? I would be very interested in that.
If only the Empire had used resources for something else other than two Death Stars. They would have accomplished so much more.
Such a great job with these videos. I know it's a little bit mixed, but would love a Legends universe only version of this content as well.

Seing as the Infinite empire is litterally called the strongest empire in the old republic era and thats alot bigger then 500 worlds or so mentioned.

So big and strong that the entirety of the galaxy more or less banded together to deal with them leading indirectly to the creation of the old republic.

the imperium does not brutally supress it's citizen . He conviced them with strengt .
To be fair, the galactic empire doesn't need to worry about the gates of hell literally breaking open every time some citizen starts listening to the latest pop song.
@@L0stEngineer Well, they have their own cosmic horrors. Firce users of all kind, zombie-plagues, giant monsters that could destroy a huge ship, threats from the unknown regions and maybe even trans-galactical invaders...
@@marcbartuschka6372 still nothing compares to the powers of hell itself..
Marc Bartuschka ... so basically 40k’s horror elements, but smaller, and without armies of soulless automatons trying to eradicate and/or submit every living being in the galaxy, or a species of sadistic enslavers able to enter the galaxy at nearly any point to raid whole words and capture their citizenry to use them for their devious pleasures, etc.
Ok.
Still cute by the standards of what the Imperium has to deal with ^^
Man the way the Empire controlled the Galaxy it was like a combination of the Terran Empire of the Star Trek Mirror Universe and the Nazis.
There’s a right way to Intertwine politics into Star Wars in there is the wrong way.
This is the right way.
Amen, brother.
It's always been in Star Wars, intertwining is not needed.
I mean the fact that its about you know....Wars? makes it inherently political. War is like the most base form of Politics its just done through mass violence instead of diplomacy it is what it is
SgtKaneGunlock It’s not the most base form of politics, but it is one form that much is true.
More importantly : you can totally do stories about wars that’d be in no way political, instead focusing only on characters’ reactions to hardship and fighting, and/or strategy, and/or action.
@@SgtKaneGunlock "War is politics by other means."
15:07 I know that Thrawn line - awesome addition
I wish the Empire in the legend universe would have been chosen to be the main source of the video, would be more deeper and better than the Canon version.
They definitely used the Legends version of the Republic, which had a military history spanning thousands of years. The canon version hadn't fought war in a millennium and had a military history spanning only a few decades.
