9:04 "Why would they let their tactical advantages go away so quickly?" It could be argued they are forming a protective perimeter around Mando and baby Yoda.
Dillon Brunschon it’s possible there is some safety mechanisms in the jet packs that prevents them from breaking their shins because they landed to fast
@Dillon Brunschon this clan also has limited resources, they may not currently be able to readily afford exoskeletons. So making a safety drop speed standard makes sense
That, and with the area too. Some did land on rooftops, but the only other place would be in the center courtyard or outside of it where they'd have to funnel through an archway
it could also be that they aren't giving up their tactical advantage. three things every spec ops soldier/veteran will tell you is the secret to their success in battle, and all three were on display in that attack. speed, surprise, and violence of action. gen tech needs to stick with the tech and leave tactics to the pros.
@Dillon Brunschon great question. let me answer it this way please, with a question. what airport or bridge seizure operation, or more to the point, rescue operation, has relied on drones and or guided missiles rather than putting boots on the ground? answer; NONE! why, several reasons. 1 accuracy. if you're going rely on those then you can't be worried about civilian collateral damage or the people you are trying to rescue. a hint, a grunt with a rifle is more accurate and has the ability to shoot or not shoot. guided missiles don't. example, assignation of Osama Bin Laden. 2 lethality. again consider collateral damage and damage/death to the ones you are trying to rescue. for example the use of guided missiles 1000 meters is considered danger close for the guys on the ground. call me silly but I don't think Mando and baby Yoda were 1000 m away from the guild members during that firefight. 3; cost; the cost of one of those missile/drones is far more than the cost of a squad of infantry. 4; reliability; technology is not infallible. it can and WILL fail. would really suck to fire one of or multiple missiles only to have the tracking system break down or get jammed and instead of hitting your target, it hits say idk a hospital for mentally ill children, circa Tripoli Libya 2010. hope that explains it. guided munitions and drones have a place on the battlefield, in the real world and in Star Wars. however in Star Wars drones didn't do all that well. but the bottom line is you can't win a war without putting boots on the ground. in some special missions, which is what that Mando op was, you have to use infantry/spec ops troops. to you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Jet packs are like high risk but high rewards type of thing but I do see uses of them for mobile troopers moving to cover over terrain quickly while flanking.
@@nunya3163 Actually it was right at the point where he talked about jetpacks providing smooth and reliable flight. That had to be an ironic statement on behalf of the channel.
The Mandalorian helmet is supposed to have many electronic gadgets like target assistance and visual magnification. And Kal Skirata addressed the concept of Mandalorian tactics to Nyreen Vollen with the statement "SEEING US COMING IS ONE THING, DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT IS SOMETHING ELSE"!
Jetpacks would be perfect for recon. Think the clone paratroopers had the right idea to deploy from high altitude and use it to slow your descent and fight on foot.
Back in the days of Battlefront 2 2005, I would use a jet trooper to get up in high places to begin sniping with my upgraded pistol. Via grinding for that elite rank to get said upgrade. Some of my favorite sniping spots were on Kashyyyk or Utapah.
Hey I love your videos but your comment about jetpacks using jet fuel and oxygen not working in space is not completely correct. While there is no oxygen in space, there is nothing keeping the jetpacks from bringing their own oxygen. Most space rockets today have fuel and oxygen tanks specifically for this reason.
@@lilithdemonia74 True, and the fuel they may be using may also be far more energy dense than Jet fuel and can run for far longer periods of time than he was thinking of
@@howardman3926 I think the idea of these jet packs being powered by jetfuel is very 21st century thinking in a highly futuristic scifi. Star wars has a seemingly limitless supply of power so why someone would use a highly explosive and heavy liquid when there are most certainly other more compact, and less volatile materials that can easily exist to explain it? Plus if the jetpack is made of beskar it would be highly resistant to blaster fire.
the other option, totally negating need for separate tanks, is a monopropellant. mono propellants are incredibly dangerous, being that they have a tendency to go off by themselves, and especially one energy dense enough for some of the jet pack feats in the EU. The young boba fett novels have him flying a jet pack for I think a few hours, maybe less. So if this propellant has the energy density to lift say, an 80lb object for two and a half hours at 1-200 mph, if it were to take a blaster bolt that thing could level a city block.
9:04 some would argue that showing your absolute strength in battle is a tactic in itself to demoralize the enemy. If one single Mandalorian already gave that hard of a fight, then a large handful all of a sudden show up blasting with the best gear, your best option is probably to break contact and spare yourself.
Two things: 1) The Pacifist Movement shows that groups like Deathwatch and other hyperviolent Mandos do not represent the true culture of the Mandalorians. The warrior spirit was one that they used to great effect and conquered a large sector of the galaxy, but their artistic sensibilities and the very idea of Foundlings belie the true nature of The Mandalore - toughness and conquest, beauty and liberty, strength and honor, Justice and equality. Genociding entire species was just a part of war; a time when in-the-moment justice sometimes needs to be swept aside for long-term goals including righting larger injustices or reigning in the chaos of a lawless region. 2) Gatling-gun Mando probably turned off his pack after turning back and went into freefall, turning on his pack in time to stop his fall with the last of his fuel. After all, they were now (temporarily) out in the open and among their kin, so refueling would not be a problem. The battle would have been over the instant our Mando got away, and, being all bounty hunters, pirates, and the like, the battle would have been seen as just business. That "just business" stuff would also be why they would have to start searching for a new hideout immediately, since turning them in for a bounty would be just business and in no way personal - a concept that Mandalorians understand to an almost genetic level. Edit: I would LOVE to see Baby Yoda become a Foundling. A Mandalorian of such intense power with The Force would be just about the only thing Papa Palpatine couldn't stop. LOL 😆
There is a huge misconception about mando culture that gets ignored a lot: they are not individualistic. By that I mean they value "us" over "me" in regards to their actions. For them everything they do is for the prosperity and protection of their family, clan, and culture. Being a mando is all that matters and they are willing to do whatever it takes to protect their own. They fight, they improve, they get good at whatever they do. It is why they go out into the world as mercenaries. It allows them to hone their skills and get an idea of what is going on in the galaxy. And when mandalore gets threatened they return. This is also why they fought each other in that nasty civil war before the pacifists took over. Each side believed they were preserving their culture the right way. The pacifists showed up after the devastation because of how much they value their own people and knew how dire their situation was militarily. It ultimately didn't work out because of the vulnerability that the pacifists saw themselves and because they forgot how adamant their own people could be at protecting their culture. I could honestly go into a huge rant on this topic of Mando culture as they get seen as nothing more than people in space armor being badasses with blasters when they are soooooo much more. Like the Norse people all being viewed as Vikings or Celts as barbaric berserkers.
Few things: 1. Love this channel, has a lot of interesting stuff for the star wars fan. 2. Recoil shouldn't be an issue, because lasers aren't "projectiles", they're focused energy/radiation. How many times has your lazer pointer kicked back? Again, nothing against the channel, I think the video is still great.
Technically L.A.S.E.R.s are light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation and move at lightspeed. There would be no dodging and no missing unless you are lightminutes away. These bolts move much slower than lightspeed which makes plasma the more reasonable projectile. Still, recoil would be equivalent to pressing a button.
The way the Mandalorians came in is also an intimidation tactic. 1 Mando was killing us one-by-one with his disintegration rifle. Now 30 more showed up.
Paz vizla as the show calls him more than likely had a power pack build into hit jetpack. Mainly to power his heavy blaster cannon, but extended flight would be possible with the extra power. Baze malbus also used a heavy blaster cannon paired with pack. Plus the mandoa were not looking to kill the bounty hunters. It was more a message establishing presence, the heavy mando was frustrated about having to hide. So showing off the whole covert was fun and refreshing to them.
That's one of the reasons I like Titanfall's quasi jetpack suits. They're smaller, lighter, but can't make you fly. They can however give you an assload of mobility that makes getting into unexpected spots easier.
The Kzinti Lesson applies: "A reaction drive is a weapon effective in proportion to it's efficiency." A jet pack that's capable of providing lift to several hundred pounds of man, armor and weaponry will also be a weapon by itself.
The mandalorians in the fight scene had the advantage of fear. The reputation they have means that, if one is coming at you with a gun, you won't live very long after.
A mandalorian would’ve been trained their whole life. If they used a jet pack for their whole life it would become part of them. And Mandalorians’ are SICKKKK
May I ask a question do you think this may :maybe this is how new canon work The Empire continues for a year til the battle of Jakku were sprinted into sub factions some of them form the Imperial remanent others became warlords and other became the first order
From what I gather this is a group of surviving True Mandalorians from Concord Dawn, aka the Protectors, which got wiped out. Sabine Wren's faction is Death Watch.
Mandalore might have gotten base delta zero-d after the events in Rebels. The same fate awaited Lothal that needed some very exotic writing to save it from doom. Thrawn himself says it to Ezra that he had no intention of burning the planet before the command center heist, as its people were not a threat, however since there is too much resistance he will have to do so. Now I can't imagine the same option was there for Mandalore. Their people are known for revenge and wouldn't be content with the Empire just leaving, so the best option for the retreating Empire was to glass the planet. Remember no one really had the resources to take on the imperial navy head on until Endor and that wasn't a fair fight either with the full rebel navy present. Mandalore was hopelessly outmatched in space without considerable help that was not present at the time.
i learned the "don't fly and shoot, use your mobility to find vantage points and to make an easy retreat" lesson from Battlefield II classic. i used to love the clone jet trooper. But i quickly realized that the Imperial jump trooper has a better burst mobility and i don't need to stay floating.
It would probably be great for hunting game, or chasing down an escaping criminal. But once your enemy is in more than one location and has good visibility, flying around becomes a disadvantage.
@@wesleygaray2666 Maybe for slow rate of fire weapons like star wars, that shoot about 50-90 rounds a minute, but rifles and machine guns that shoot up to 1000 rounds a minute, a slow moving jetpack would be shredded. The higher up you are, the more people that can see you, the more that can shoot at you. Shooting on the move isn't an easy thing in itself, shooting while floating isn't going to be any easier.
@@goldfishprime yes but in star wars the weapons go around 70 mphs the shots are very slow compared to what we use so it wouldn't be to hard to out maneuver a a bunch of shots the jedi can block them cause of how slow they are and others can if they are more skilled just not as proficient as jedi in our world they are completely useless due to how easy it would be to shoot them down
Jet packs can work in an emergency, but for extended usage and incorporated tactics and strategies, take clues from the most successful air forces and guerilla fighters (both of which share many similar philosophies): quick slash attacks and hit-and-fade methods to maximize damage at a point, and only use large numbers to execute as many of these as possible at one time - get in quick, one or two quick hard hits, and and get out at least as quick.
But it depends on the blaster bolt. Because they always travel across the screen at relatively the same speed, it really depends on the scale. Because of this, I'm pretty sure the Imperial Star Destroyer blaster bolts that shoot Tantive IV in A New Hope are ridiculously fast, but the blaster bolts from hand-held blasters are very slow. Personally I like to think though that, in universe, they probably actually are as fast as bullets (maybe the slower, sub-sonic ones, but still). I think they just slow it down so it looks cool in the movies.
or tehy dont "burn" fuel at all ... you do realize this is a universe where you can have power of a small nuclear reactor in lets say wrist watch sized device ...
Well sense we talk beskar and the idea of undying due to the armor, the closer you are the easier you can hit them,and even if you pass out your entire clan of undying soldiers is with you to keep fighting but eh any excuse to say. We had a limited area to work on. (Recording stage wasn't to big)
A jetpack would have been great in Ep 4 to jump on the ATST and just throw a grenade in. Although even a grenade launcher would have been enough. I never realised that the ATST's "eyes" were open.
I think the tactical use of jetpacks is ridiculously effective, but you shouldn't use them to get yourself into enemy fire, obviously. But the tactical advantage of being able to sort most obstacles and move quickly means you'll always outmaneuver the opponent.
With the extent of repulsorlift technology in star wars, I would make a set of mechanical wing with repulsors built in to achieve passive, quiet flight over long ranges. But, jetpack is more cool.
I have two points to make. 1. You were partially right about jetpacks using fuel and oxygen. We don't see any intakes on jetpacks, so it's pretty clear they mix solid fuel and oxidizer ( that's how rockets work by the way ) , they can work in space with no problem. 2. In my opinion Mandalorians tactics at the end of 3rd episode were perfectly valid. Mandos utilized "violence of action", descending stright into fight they forced enemies to take cover/retreat. Bandits didn't have time to return time, when you're fired at from air first thing you want to do is to survive. If Mandos were to start this slowly the fight would be drag on way too long.
1) Weight isn't necessarily a problem in the Star Wars galaxy; all the different planets have different gravitational field strengths at different altitudes so it's just not that simple. 2) Those jetpacks can work in space as well, the oxygen is inside the jetpack 3) I don't expect there to be much recoil in an energy weapon be it a gatlin or an e11. At the end of the day you're firing plasma which has the same density as gas. Don't expect a lot of recoil! Otherwise great video, can you dedicate an episode to asking why microjumps weren't used more often?
The main design of Boba Fett was done by Joe Johnson, who later went on to direct The Rocketeer. His obvious inspiration to the jetpack (His love of old Rocketeer) of what later became known as Mandalorian. The new character named Zorii Bliss or something looks straight up female Rocketeer without a jetpack, but an obvious homage. Having a rocket that close to your head would actually be a horrible flaw, but looks cool.
They can definitely handle more than 20 ‘bursts’ as this directly contradicts what we see on the screen, unless by a ‘burst’ they mean 10 minutes of flight Star Wars technological prowess can fit a fusion reactor inside a gonk droid, and fuel enough to power the Death Stars within a small portion of the Death Stars themselves - so it’s doubtless easy to contain a huge amount of highly energetic fuel in the jet packs
Do blasters have much recoil? I thought they fired something like plasma. Which means that it'd be very light. Now, the speed of the projectile is also something to take into account, but for the most part, it's no more than a bullet's projectile speed.
As a soldier, a jetpack allows for extreme mobility. This allows for rapid assaults, Fast repositioning, and extremely quick retreats. The force that maneuvers better than its enemy is sure to win in modern combat. Add in all the weapons Madalorians have, especially in their armor. And the jetpack becomes even more effective, especially when an enemy squad finds its cover negated AND coming under rocket fire from above. When used properly, the jetpack is an excellent tool. When abused and used excessively. However, it becomes a liability, especially when AA weapons are in play.
Has had a Christmas tree in the background of all Generation Tech videos all year round since last Christmas.... Now it's finally December again... Christmas tree = gone 🤣
Rule of cool trumps all Also considering you have pretty much near impervious armor with beskar steel, with the added mobility of the jet pack there isn't much issue of ''being exposed'', there is also the shock value you have as a Mandalorian flying in with jet pack and all guns blazing, the reason clones and then imperium had all white armor, it was to instill fear to the enemy and to signify the enemy ''we don't care if you see us or shoot at us we will kill you regardless'', though ofc to a even basically trained person the shock isn't as effective but then again, we are speaking about Mandalorians here, they have earned that fear and awe in Star Wars universe
In my personal opinion. I think an urban environment's jet packs could be incredibly useful as a way to quickly get up to rooftops or to get off them. You got to think of it like this. Say you're with your squad and you're moving through buildings and such and you're being attacked from the top of a staircase when you go to clear building. Wouldn't it just be easier to land on the roof and attack them from behind with some guys keeping them from coming running out of the bottom. You literally turned their biggest advantage, the fact that you have to assail up the stairs to come and get them much like we seen in Fallujah and you turn it to their worst enemy. You catch them in a pinter maneuver with literally no escape and no way to fall back away from the situation. Mix that with having an easy way to get over fences, barriers, and other obstacles That could impede troops. It could allow for incredible speed and blitzkriegs using the element of surprise and speed to compensate for the downsides of a jetpack. Plus keeping at low level flight just above the buildings would still provide cover in many of situations. I think a practical jetpack that would offer short stents of flight Could be incredibly useful. But that's just my two cents on things. An open terrain and such a would still be kind of useful for navigating mountain terrains and other areas where climbing would be difficult. Especially areas that would have deep snow and other less than favorable weather conditions to travel through. Why instead of having to swim across the river you could send a vanguard over the river by flight and simply take that side of the river while bridging equipment is pulled up for heavier vehicles.
i think you should check the "weight beskar" thing because in real life people think Plate Armor are heavy but their in fact not (or not the mouch). Maybe Beskar armor is like plate armor.
I think cad Bane had the right idea with the jet boots, if they blow up you can get robo legs, and it lets you carry gear on your back, though fuel might be a concern with them
My only point of reference for a Class 12 is 343 Guilty Spark's dialogue in Halo: Combat Evolved in The Library, where it states that MJOLNIR V is a Class 2. Depending on the order of magnitude of which the difference between the classes of combat skin, it could mean that the quality ranges from incredibly strong to trying-to-kill-a-Spartan-with-a-rotten-orange strong. The combat skins were designed to adapt to hostile weaponry, thus necessitating either several different weapons or taking down the target with very few shots. Taking gameplay stats from Halo 5 (because that's what i could find on Halopedia), it would take four body shots to kill a Spartan. The issue with using these stats is that they aren't lore-based, but it's what I could find. If the Spartans are armed with MA5Ds, they'd almost certainly lose. They'd need heavy weaponry of multiple varieties, preferably both plasma, conventional, and hardlight. The Spartans could win, but they'd have a tough time and would need to be specially equipped and be lucky. Blue Team, some of the best Spartan 2s out there, couldn't beat the Didact in anything resembling a straight fight. The combat skin the Didact wears allows him to pick up and seriously damage John-117's Mark VI MJOLNIR armor, meaning that the Forerunner warrior would likely be able to do very well in melee combat. Short answer, the Forerunner soldier with a Class 12 combat skin would be able to wipe the floor with the spartans due to the inability of the Spartan's weaponry to pierce the combat skin. There are only two advantages I can think of for the Spartans: the ability to use squad tactics and possibly stealth. The Forerunner would have both the offensive (more powerful weapon, armor making them much stronger, and other offensive systems) and defensive (basically the entirety of this post explains the armor) advantage.
I know it's not a one to one comparison, and it's just a video game. But, I don't recall seeing a lot of players pick jet packs in Halo Reach's multiplayer. They tended to be easy to hit and leave you exposed, and there weren't a lot of sneaky vantage points on the map you could get to only using the jetpack. It tended to mostly be armor lock and sprint. Even in the Halo lore, Spartans and other UNSC forces seemed to only use jetpacks for mobility or EVA actions in space. And, Spartans probably have more protective armor than the Mandalorians. Jump packs might be more useful for assault troops, like in 40k. That is, if you can find a way to prevent the user from breaking their legs upon impact.
yes and do you know why we use SHOTGUNS for that type of shooting ? Because trying to hit small target freely flying in the air with single projectile weapon is INSANELY HARD ... fast rate of fire automatic weapons and "area of efect" weapons are kinda rare in SW, blasters would overheat insanely fast if fired at rapid rof ... so considering most they would face are semi automatic rifles and handguns AND considering even durasteel armor is more than enough to deflect a hit here and there having a Mando soldier zipping around from place to place in mid air is kinda problematic especially considering they are all excellent marksmen TRAINED to fire from the air using HANDGUNS ... that pack a bigger wallop than a rifle ...
Has Generation Tech done a video if midi chlorians and force powers are weakened or lost if you have a limb cut off? I was wondering because alot of characters have robotic limbs but still use the force. I'm not much of a Star Wars buff if that question sounded odd, haha sorry.
@Dillon Brunschon their skin can turn various shades of red, depending on their emotions. seen a few pictures of them where their skin looks completely pink, so they might be able to make their skin redish blue.
I like how you said that, nothing wrong with some historically aware space politics, it's half the reason the Gundam series is such an amazing classic, but at the same time theres something great about just seeing some mandalorians doing their thing with little concern for what the greater galactic community thinks. I feel like that's part of why we love our scoundrels and bounty hunters so much, they have their personal politics at times but at the end of the day it usually just comes down to a personal honour code and whether there getting paid. Nothing wrong with going full historically inspired space politics, in a universe where the main conflict at the moment is space libertarians vs space fascists it's expected. But in that context the characters who chose to stay by the sidelines for the most part tend to stand out in an interesting way. Ps: I REALLY want to check out the mandalorian right now but unfortunately dont have the money for yet another subscription I will use a lot less than can be justified given the cost. Seriously Disney, I'd like to support you guys in this venture but your not making it feasible at the moment, not a lot of us young people have the disposable income to spare and I'm sure a lot of parents dont either.
Honestly the way I see it if they can compress a while bunch of gas inside the mags for blaster ammo I don't see why the same can't be done for the jet packs with the fuel supply maybe they have replaceable fuel tanks or refillable ones that can hold a bunch of compressed gas for fuel I say gas loosely bc I'm not sure I can spell tabana correctly the gas used for heating and blaster ammo
Jetpacks here depending on the models could launch one or multiple missiles at enemies. Also what about rocket jets on your boots like Cad Bane and other Bounty Hunters on SWTOR? Could they be used instead if jetpacks are so bad?
an Irishman: Jango's jetpack got visually damage due to sparks flying from it after he rolled out of the way of that charging Reek, so he probably could use the jetpack to fly away because of that damage.
@@COH-gl5yg either way he shouldn't have jumped into the arena like a lemming in the first place he could have just fired from cover out of the jedis reach, possible thrown a thermal detonator or two.

Could Darth Vader stop a disintegration round? If so how? I know there is some force ability to deal with blaster fire(energy based) weapons, but how would it work for the Mandalorians pulse rifle, how would he stop/deflect it, without his lightsaber.

Or would the round cause some sort of short or overloading effect on a lightsaber?

@Dillon Brunschon great question. let me answer it this way please, with a question.
what airport or bridge seizure operation, or more to the point, rescue operation, has relied on drones and or guided missiles rather than putting boots on the ground?
answer; NONE! why, several reasons.
1 accuracy. if you're going rely on those then you can't be worried about civilian collateral damage or the people you are trying to rescue. a hint, a grunt with a rifle is more accurate and has the ability to shoot or not shoot. guided missiles don't. example, assignation of Osama Bin Laden.
2 lethality. again consider collateral damage and damage/death to the ones you are trying to rescue. for example the use of guided missiles 1000 meters is considered danger close for the guys on the ground. call me silly but I don't think Mando and baby Yoda were 1000 m away from the guild members during that firefight.
3; cost; the cost of one of those missile/drones is far more than the cost of a squad of infantry.
4; reliability; technology is not infallible. it can and WILL fail. would really suck to fire one of or multiple missiles only to have the tracking system break down or get jammed and instead of hitting your target, it hits say idk a hospital for mentally ill children, circa Tripoli Libya 2010.
hope that explains it. guided munitions and drones have a place on the battlefield, in the real world and in Star Wars. however in Star Wars drones didn't do all that well.
but the bottom line is you can't win a war without putting boots on the ground. in some special missions, which is what that Mando op was, you have to use infantry/spec ops troops.
to you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
The high ground is a powerful weapon that many consider it to be unnatural.
High advantage and High risk, just like the good old days of the mandalorian wars.

The Mandalorian helmet is supposed to have many electronic gadgets like target assistance and visual magnification. And Kal Skirata addressed the concept of Mandalorian tactics to Nyreen Vollen with the statement "SEEING US COMING IS ONE THING, DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT IS SOMETHING ELSE"!
Love Kal, he's awesome
Jetpacks would be perfect for recon. Think the clone paratroopers had the right idea to deploy from high altitude and use it to slow your descent and fight on foot.
Russian VDV para Jetpack troopers is the way of da future comrade!
I also see that in Star Wars there is very little recoil in blasters, like the recoile you get from strong air rifle or a 22 cal.
spkt0r makes sense, if their just shooting out bolts of plasma theres no reason I can think of that they’d have significant recoil
just what I was thinking its not kicking back like an explosion from a bullet its just a blast of energy not a physical object right?
They needed to save Mando quickly so an aerial assault was needed to overcome the buildings into the courtyard.
Landing on the roof tops and firing from cover would've been 1000X smarter than floating in front of the enemy slowly decending.
Back in the days of Battlefront 2 2005, I would use a jet trooper to get up in high places to begin sniping with my upgraded pistol. Via grinding for that elite rank to get said upgrade. Some of my favorite sniping spots were on Kashyyyk or Utapah.
Hey I love your videos but your comment about jetpacks using jet fuel and oxygen not working in space is not completely correct. While there is no oxygen in space, there is nothing keeping the jetpacks from bringing their own oxygen. Most space rockets today have fuel and oxygen tanks specifically for this reason.
I know that you are a "spacealist" by seeing your profile pic...
Only if you know what powers the jet pack. Since we don't know what the power source is, our ideas of oxygen mixtures may not apply.
@@lilithdemonia74 True, and the fuel they may be using may also be far more energy dense than Jet fuel and can run for far longer periods of time than he was thinking of
@@howardman3926 I think the idea of these jet packs being powered by jetfuel is very 21st century thinking in a highly futuristic scifi. Star wars has a seemingly limitless supply of power so why someone would use a highly explosive and heavy liquid when there are most certainly other more compact, and less volatile materials that can easily exist to explain it? Plus if the jetpack is made of beskar it would be highly resistant to blaster fire.
the other option, totally negating need for separate tanks, is a monopropellant. mono propellants are incredibly dangerous, being that they have a tendency to go off by themselves, and especially one energy dense enough for some of the jet pack feats in the EU. The young boba fett novels have him flying a jet pack for I think a few hours, maybe less. So if this propellant has the energy density to lift say, an 80lb object for two and a half hours at 1-200 mph, if it were to take a blaster bolt that thing could level a city block.
Every jedi gangster till the mandalorians starts flying
And the klingons start decloacking!
Lol

But it need fuel

9:04 some would argue that showing your absolute strength in battle is a tactic in itself to demoralize the enemy. If one single Mandalorian already gave that hard of a fight, then a large handful all of a sudden show up blasting with the best gear, your best option is probably to break contact and spare yourself.
Two things:
1) The Pacifist Movement shows that groups like Deathwatch and other hyperviolent Mandos do not represent the true culture of the Mandalorians. The warrior spirit was one that they used to great effect and conquered a large sector of the galaxy, but their artistic sensibilities and the very idea of Foundlings belie the true nature of The Mandalore - toughness and conquest, beauty and liberty, strength and honor, Justice and equality. Genociding entire species was just a part of war; a time when in-the-moment justice sometimes needs to be swept aside for long-term goals including righting larger injustices or reigning in the chaos of a lawless region.
2) Gatling-gun Mando probably turned off his pack after turning back and went into freefall, turning on his pack in time to stop his fall with the last of his fuel. After all, they were now (temporarily) out in the open and among their kin, so refueling would not be a problem. The battle would have been over the instant our Mando got away, and, being all bounty hunters, pirates, and the like, the battle would have been seen as just business. That "just business" stuff would also be why they would have to start searching for a new hideout immediately, since turning them in for a bounty would be just business and in no way personal - a concept that Mandalorians understand to an almost genetic level.
Edit: I would LOVE to see Baby Yoda become a Foundling. A Mandalorian of such intense power with The Force would be just about the only thing Papa Palpatine couldn't stop. LOL 😆
Agreed LOL
There is a huge misconception about mando culture that gets ignored a lot: they are not individualistic. By that I mean they value "us" over "me" in regards to their actions. For them everything they do is for the prosperity and protection of their family, clan, and culture. Being a mando is all that matters and they are willing to do whatever it takes to protect their own. They fight, they improve, they get good at whatever they do. It is why they go out into the world as mercenaries. It allows them to hone their skills and get an idea of what is going on in the galaxy. And when mandalore gets threatened they return.
This is also why they fought each other in that nasty civil war before the pacifists took over. Each side believed they were preserving their culture the right way. The pacifists showed up after the devastation because of how much they value their own people and knew how dire their situation was militarily. It ultimately didn't work out because of the vulnerability that the pacifists saw themselves and because they forgot how adamant their own people could be at protecting their culture.
I could honestly go into a huge rant on this topic of Mando culture as they get seen as nothing more than people in space armor being badasses with blasters when they are soooooo much more. Like the Norse people all being viewed as Vikings or Celts as barbaric berserkers.
High speed , high risk
But most importantly high ground .
Generation Tech: "That's' impractical."
Bumble bee: "Hold my beer."
Magnificent choice of video clips to illustrate the points being made! Props to the editors.
Few things:
1. Love this channel, has a lot of interesting stuff for the star wars fan.
2. Recoil shouldn't be an issue, because lasers aren't "projectiles", they're focused energy/radiation. How many times has your lazer pointer kicked back? Again, nothing against the channel, I think the video is still great.
Technically L.A.S.E.R.s are light amplified by stimulated emission of radiation and move at lightspeed. There would be no dodging and no missing unless you are lightminutes away. These bolts move much slower than lightspeed which makes plasma the more reasonable projectile. Still, recoil would be equivalent to pressing a button.
@@MarioPerez-ng9it debates :)
The way the Mandalorians came in is also an intimidation tactic.
1 Mando was killing us one-by-one with his disintegration rifle.
Now 30 more showed up.
When you want to show you now nothing about historical armor.
"European plate vs mongol horse archers"
Yeah exactly European Knights metal plate armour is pretty light and you could even perform dodges and rolls withthem
Every episode of Generation Tech, Alan’s V-neck gets lower and lower
Paz vizla as the show calls him more than likely had a power pack build into hit jetpack. Mainly to power his heavy blaster cannon, but extended flight would be possible with the extra power. Baze malbus also used a heavy blaster cannon paired with pack. Plus the mandoa were not looking to kill the bounty hunters. It was more a message establishing presence, the heavy mando was frustrated about having to hide. So showing off the whole covert was fun and refreshing to them.
@Dillon Brunschon didnt notice the credits i was looking at subs
@Dillon Brunschon guy who makes it gives him self awesome armor and a grest weapon cant fault him for that
Definitely excited clone wars season 7
That's one of the reasons I like Titanfall's quasi jetpack suits. They're smaller, lighter, but can't make you fly. They can however give you an assload of mobility that makes getting into unexpected spots easier.
The Kzinti Lesson applies: "A reaction drive is a weapon effective in proportion to it's efficiency."
A jet pack that's capable of providing lift to several hundred pounds of man, armor and weaponry will also be a weapon by itself.
Fun fact beskar was extremely light instead of heavy as described in the video
Exactly from 9 pieces of metal Mando entire armor was rebuild
And added extra weapon system
The mandalorians in the fight scene had the advantage of fear. The reputation they have means that, if one is coming at you with a gun, you won't live very long after.
A mandalorian would’ve been trained their whole life. If they used a jet pack for their whole life it would become part of them. And Mandalorians’ are SICKKKK
The mandalorians jet pack have a single rocket. Good for anti air or infantry.
Them bending down constantly just to aim is impressive.
May I ask a question do you think this may :maybe this is how new canon work The Empire continues for a year til the battle of Jakku were sprinted into sub factions some of them form the Imperial remanent others became warlords and other became the first order
has mandalore completely fallen apart despite what happens in Rebels or is this group a deserted clan
From what I gather this is a group of surviving True Mandalorians from Concord Dawn, aka the Protectors, which got wiped out. Sabine Wren's faction is Death Watch.
From what little i have seen in the show they are following the supercommando codex, so I also think they are from concord dawn.
They mentioned the great purge maybe the mandalorian rebellion got decimated
Mandalore might have gotten base delta zero-d after the events in Rebels. The same fate awaited Lothal that needed some very exotic writing to save it from doom. Thrawn himself says it to Ezra that he had no intention of burning the planet before the command center heist, as its people were not a threat, however since there is too much resistance he will have to do so.
Now I can't imagine the same option was there for Mandalore. Their people are known for revenge and wouldn't be content with the Empire just leaving, so the best option for the retreating Empire was to glass the planet. Remember no one really had the resources to take on the imperial navy head on until Endor and that wasn't a fair fight either with the full rebel navy present. Mandalore was hopelessly outmatched in space without considerable help that was not present at the time.
@@csfelfoldi new head cannon accepted
i learned the "don't fly and shoot, use your mobility to find vantage points and to make an easy retreat" lesson from Battlefield II classic. i used to love the clone jet trooper. But i quickly realized that the Imperial jump trooper has a better burst mobility and i don't need to stay floating.
It would probably be great for hunting game, or chasing down an escaping criminal. But once your enemy is in more than one location and has good visibility, flying around becomes a disadvantage.
Srill be hard to hit them though
@@wesleygaray2666 Maybe for slow rate of fire weapons like star wars, that shoot about 50-90 rounds a minute, but rifles and machine guns that shoot up to 1000 rounds a minute, a slow moving jetpack would be shredded. The higher up you are, the more people that can see you, the more that can shoot at you.
Shooting on the move isn't an easy thing in itself, shooting while floating isn't going to be any easier.
@@goldfishprime yes but in star wars the weapons go around 70 mphs the shots are very slow compared to what we use so it wouldn't be to hard to out maneuver a a bunch of shots the jedi can block them cause of how slow they are and others can if they are more skilled just not as proficient as jedi in our world they are completely useless due to how easy it would be to shoot them down
I disagree. Having a jetpack against a group of armed enemies would make you hard to hit since you're flying aroud. You'd be terrifying to them.
I thought beskar was incredibly light weight compared to other durable metals used to forge armor, wasn’t that one of it’s big selling points?
Jet packs can work in an emergency, but for extended usage and incorporated tactics and strategies, take clues from the most successful air forces and guerilla fighters (both of which share many similar philosophies): quick slash attacks and hit-and-fade methods to maximize damage at a point, and only use large numbers to execute as many of these as possible at one time - get in quick, one or two quick hard hits, and and get out at least as quick.
3:36 i appreciate the counterforce that the launched missiles produce. they slow the forward progress of the jet pack, but only for a moment
I really enjoy these analytic videos. Science and I get along like the Jedi vs. Sith. Your videos are well done and I appreciate it.
I gotta get one of those.
It is the way
Blaster bolts go at a third to half the speed of a bullet, and everyone in Star Wars has terrible aim. Therefore jetpacks are worth it
I'd need to correct you on that one. Blaster bolts are AT LEAST 10 TIMES SLOWER than your average bullet velocity.
But it depends on the blaster bolt. Because they always travel across the screen at relatively the same speed, it really depends on the scale. Because of this, I'm pretty sure the Imperial Star Destroyer blaster bolts that shoot Tantive IV in A New Hope are ridiculously fast, but the blaster bolts from hand-held blasters are very slow.
Personally I like to think though that, in universe, they probably actually are as fast as bullets (maybe the slower, sub-sonic ones, but still). I think they just slow it down so it looks cool in the movies.
Hey love the thing hanging on the wall but what exactly is it would love to be able to know so that I can try to get a hold of one myself
It looks like a melinuom falcon
Star Wars Millennium Falcon Wood Kids Wall Shelf Beige
Its sold at target for 20 dollara
Hey thanks for letting me know
No problem
For use in outer space im sure there are models of jet packs with built in O2 tanks to allow fuel to burn in vacuum
or tehy dont "burn" fuel at all ... you do realize this is a universe where you can have power of a small nuclear reactor in lets say wrist watch sized device ...
Well sense we talk beskar and the idea of undying due to the armor, the closer you are the easier you can hit them,and even if you pass out your entire clan of undying soldiers is with you to keep fighting but eh any excuse to say. We had a limited area to work on. (Recording stage wasn't to big)
A jetpack would have been great in Ep 4 to jump on the ATST and just throw a grenade in. Although even a grenade launcher would have been enough. I never realised that the ATST's "eyes" were open.
This can be summed up in a few words. Shock and awe
I think the tactical use of jetpacks is ridiculously effective, but you shouldn't use them to get yourself into enemy fire, obviously. But the tactical advantage of being able to sort most obstacles and move quickly means you'll always outmaneuver the opponent.
Mando, "Its over Jedi, I have the high ground!"
Kenobi: *takes notes*
With the extent of repulsorlift technology in star wars, I would make a set of mechanical wing with repulsors built in to achieve passive, quiet flight over long ranges. But, jetpack is more cool.
I have two points to make.
1. You were partially right about jetpacks using fuel and oxygen. We don't see any intakes on jetpacks, so it's pretty clear they mix solid fuel and oxidizer ( that's how rockets work by the way ) , they can work in space with no problem.
2. In my opinion Mandalorians tactics at the end of 3rd episode were perfectly valid. Mandos utilized "violence of action", descending stright into fight they forced enemies to take cover/retreat. Bandits didn't have time to return time, when you're fired at from air first thing you want to do is to survive. If Mandos were to start this slowly the fight would be drag on way too long.
1) Weight isn't necessarily a problem in the Star Wars galaxy; all the different planets have different gravitational field strengths at different altitudes so it's just not that simple.
2) Those jetpacks can work in space as well, the oxygen is inside the jetpack
3) I don't expect there to be much recoil in an energy weapon be it a gatlin or an e11. At the end of the day you're firing plasma which has the same density as gas. Don't expect a lot of recoil!
Otherwise great video, can you dedicate an episode to asking why microjumps weren't used more often?
Mandos started using jet packs more because the jedi would throw them around.
Out side that its a portable ladder, and transportation.
From my understanding beskar Armor is actually light because it is an alloy, making it lighter than standard troopers armor while being tougher
In Star Wars, rocket and jetpacks often also have Repulsorlifts. So you just use the thrust for rapid acceleration and deceleration.
Can you explain why the mandolorians can’t take their helmets off when they could in the clone wars?
This could be a backlash to the great purge and they were went back to more traditional stuff
This is the way!
This is the way!
The jet pack was the response to Jedi
A mandalorian in CQC is scarier than a Jedi
Hmm...I can see how the Mandalorian series end. He will finally strap on a jetpack and fly off into the binary sunset...
That is a great shelf
Jetpacks are best used not to fly but jump and fall assist.
Like star wars battlefront 2? (The good one)
The main design of Boba Fett was done by Joe Johnson, who later went on to direct The Rocketeer. His obvious inspiration to the jetpack (His love of old Rocketeer) of what later became known as Mandalorian. The new character named Zorii Bliss or something looks straight up female Rocketeer without a jetpack, but an obvious homage.
Having a rocket that close to your head would actually be a horrible flaw, but looks cool.
Ya know you'd think the armor would have some sort of exoskeleton to remove the burden
I LOVE Your Channel. 'Gemeratopm Tech' Freaking Rocks!
Yeah, gattling guy flying as fast as the Razor Crest at 30,000' was a little silly, but an obvious Ironman nod from Jonny Favs.
They can definitely handle more than 20 ‘bursts’ as this directly contradicts what we see on the screen, unless by a ‘burst’ they mean 10 minutes of flight
Star Wars technological prowess can fit a fusion reactor inside a gonk droid, and fuel enough to power the Death Stars within a small portion of the Death Stars themselves - so it’s doubtless easy to contain a huge amount of highly energetic fuel in the jet packs
I find the most limiting of their interpretations of SW tech dubious and disturbing.
No body:
Me: are mandalorians just America's in starwars.
Guns are part of my religion.
Agreed
I have spoken
LOL no. You know how sedentary American civilians are? Potatoes are not warriors.
@@GP.Records and Europeans are tea sippers and pussy liberals
@@GP.Records have you even went to fucking America not every body's fucking fat you dumb shit
Do blasters have much recoil?
I thought they fired something like plasma. Which means that it'd be very light. Now, the speed of the projectile is also something to take into account, but for the most part, it's no more than a bullet's projectile speed.
Nice Appa shelf in the back.
As a soldier, a jetpack allows for extreme mobility. This allows for rapid assaults, Fast repositioning, and extremely quick retreats. The force that maneuvers better than its enemy is sure to win in modern combat. Add in all the weapons Madalorians have, especially in their armor. And the jetpack becomes even more effective, especially when an enemy squad finds its cover negated AND coming under rocket fire from above. When used properly, the jetpack is an excellent tool. When abused and used excessively. However, it becomes a liability, especially when AA weapons are in play.
So, 'Generation Tech' has become 'Generation Star Wars'?
Was it ever not?
Is, and always has been.
Ben is the senate now
This is the way.
We are...
Generation Tech
I got a question? Is it PRACTICAL to wear a V-neck so large you can almost see your entire chest?
Has had a Christmas tree in the background of all Generation Tech videos all year round since last Christmas.... Now it's finally December again...
Christmas tree = gone 🤣
I don’t think droids are emotionless just look at the b1s
Rule of cool trumps all
Also considering you have pretty much near impervious armor with beskar steel, with the added mobility of the jet pack there isn't much issue of ''being exposed'', there is also the shock value you have as a Mandalorian flying in with jet pack and all guns blazing, the reason clones and then imperium had all white armor, it was to instill fear to the enemy and to signify the enemy ''we don't care if you see us or shoot at us we will kill you regardless'', though ofc to a even basically trained person the shock isn't as effective but then again, we are speaking about Mandalorians here, they have earned that fear and awe in Star Wars universe
Love the concept of mandalorians adapted and grew stronger because of the competition of jedi
In my personal opinion. I think an urban environment's jet packs could be incredibly useful as a way to quickly get up to rooftops or to get off them. You got to think of it like this. Say you're with your squad and you're moving through buildings and such and you're being attacked from the top of a staircase when you go to clear building. Wouldn't it just be easier to land on the roof and attack them from behind with some guys keeping them from coming running out of the bottom. You literally turned their biggest advantage, the fact that you have to assail up the stairs to come and get them much like we seen in Fallujah and you turn it to their worst enemy. You catch them in a pinter maneuver with literally no escape and no way to fall back away from the situation. Mix that with having an easy way to get over fences, barriers, and other obstacles That could impede troops. It could allow for incredible speed and blitzkriegs using the element of surprise and speed to compensate for the downsides of a jetpack. Plus keeping at low level flight just above the buildings would still provide cover in many of situations. I think a practical jetpack that would offer short stents of flight Could be incredibly useful. But that's just my two cents on things. An open terrain and such a would still be kind of useful for navigating mountain terrains and other areas where climbing would be difficult. Especially areas that would have deep snow and other less than favorable weather conditions to travel through. Why instead of having to swim across the river you could send a vanguard over the river by flight and simply take that side of the river while bridging equipment is pulled up for heavier vehicles.
i think you should check the "weight beskar" thing because in real life people think Plate Armor are heavy but their in fact not (or not the mouch). Maybe Beskar armor is like plate armor.
I think cad Bane had the right idea with the jet boots, if they blow up you can get robo legs, and it lets you carry gear on your back, though fuel might be a concern with them
It's so awesome that the later soldiers adopted it.
How strong would a Standard Forerunner soldier with a Class-12 combat skin compare to a squad of Spartan 2s with MJOLNIR armor?
Spartan 2s would still shred
My only point of reference for a Class 12 is 343 Guilty Spark's dialogue in Halo: Combat Evolved in The Library, where it states that MJOLNIR V is a Class 2. Depending on the order of magnitude of which the difference between the classes of combat skin, it could mean that the quality ranges from incredibly strong to trying-to-kill-a-Spartan-with-a-rotten-orange strong. The combat skins were designed to adapt to hostile weaponry, thus necessitating either several different weapons or taking down the target with very few shots. Taking gameplay stats from Halo 5 (because that's what i could find on Halopedia), it would take four body shots to kill a Spartan. The issue with using these stats is that they aren't lore-based, but it's what I could find. If the Spartans are armed with MA5Ds, they'd almost certainly lose. They'd need heavy weaponry of multiple varieties, preferably both plasma, conventional, and hardlight. The Spartans could win, but they'd have a tough time and would need to be specially equipped and be lucky. Blue Team, some of the best Spartan 2s out there, couldn't beat the Didact in anything resembling a straight fight. The combat skin the Didact wears allows him to pick up and seriously damage John-117's Mark VI MJOLNIR armor, meaning that the Forerunner warrior would likely be able to do very well in melee combat. Short answer, the Forerunner soldier with a Class 12 combat skin would be able to wipe the floor with the spartans due to the inability of the Spartan's weaponry to pierce the combat skin. There are only two advantages I can think of for the Spartans: the ability to use squad tactics and possibly stealth. The Forerunner would have both the offensive (more powerful weapon, armor making them much stronger, and other offensive systems) and defensive (basically the entirety of this post explains the armor) advantage.
I know it's not a one to one comparison, and it's just a video game. But, I don't recall seeing a lot of players pick jet packs in Halo Reach's multiplayer. They tended to be easy to hit and leave you exposed, and there weren't a lot of sneaky vantage points on the map you could get to only using the jetpack. It tended to mostly be armor lock and sprint. Even in the Halo lore, Spartans and other UNSC forces seemed to only use jetpacks for mobility or EVA actions in space. And, Spartans probably have more protective armor than the Mandalorians.
Jump packs might be more useful for assault troops, like in 40k. That is, if you can find a way to prevent the user from breaking their legs upon impact.
To quote something that said roughly the same thing. "You know what we call flying soldiers on the battlefield?" "Skeet."
yes and do you know why we use SHOTGUNS for that type of shooting ? Because trying to hit small target freely flying in the air with single projectile weapon is INSANELY HARD ...
fast rate of fire automatic weapons and "area of efect" weapons are kinda rare in SW, blasters would overheat insanely fast if fired at rapid rof ... so considering most they would face are semi automatic rifles and handguns AND considering even durasteel armor is more than enough to deflect a hit here and there having a Mando soldier zipping around from place to place in mid air is kinda problematic especially considering they are all excellent marksmen TRAINED to fire from the air using HANDGUNS ... that pack a bigger wallop than a rifle ...
You objective deserve more subs
Has Generation Tech done a video if midi chlorians and force powers are weakened or lost if you have a limb cut off? I was wondering because alot of characters have robotic limbs but still use the force. I'm not much of a Star Wars buff if that question sounded odd, haha sorry.
Notice how Favreau was flying like iron man. It might be nothing but it also seems like a nod to some of his other beloved works
They are only useful for switching high ground cover and escaping land assailants
Can you please do a video on the Most Interesting blue skins species in Star Wars lore.
Someone has a secret Twi'lek fetish
or maybe even a Chiss one... noone knows :D
Chiss followed closely by the Zeltron, and the Chiss won't be able to talk the Zeltron out of it if they like them.
@Dillon Brunschon their skin can turn various shades of red, depending on their emotions. seen a few pictures of them where their skin looks completely pink, so they might be able to make their skin redish blue.

Generation Tech is so smart when it comes to Star Wars
I'd say average. *GLARES AT HUMANITY FIRST AND LACK OF LEGENDS*
WE ARE THE MANDLORES SUPER COMMANDOS, AND WE SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!!!!
Disney seems to have really buffed jetpacks. From relatively short powered jumps to full Iron Man flight. Not sure if that's a bad thing though.
I like how you said that, nothing wrong with some historically aware space politics, it's half the reason the Gundam series is such an amazing classic, but at the same time theres something great about just seeing some mandalorians doing their thing with little concern for what the greater galactic community thinks. I feel like that's part of why we love our scoundrels and bounty hunters so much, they have their personal politics at times but at the end of the day it usually just comes down to a personal honour code and whether there getting paid.
Nothing wrong with going full historically inspired space politics, in a universe where the main conflict at the moment is space libertarians vs space fascists it's expected. But in that context the characters who chose to stay by the sidelines for the most part tend to stand out in an interesting way.
Ps: I REALLY want to check out the mandalorian right now but unfortunately dont have the money for yet another subscription I will use a lot less than can be justified given the cost. Seriously Disney, I'd like to support you guys in this venture but your not making it feasible at the moment, not a lot of us young people have the disposable income to spare and I'm sure a lot of parents dont either.
Honestly the way I see it if they can compress a while bunch of gas inside the mags for blaster ammo I don't see why the same can't be done for the jet packs with the fuel supply maybe they have replaceable fuel tanks or refillable ones that can hold a bunch of compressed gas for fuel I say gas loosely bc I'm not sure I can spell tabana correctly the gas used for heating and blaster ammo
Jetpacks here depending on the models could launch one or multiple missiles at enemies. Also what about rocket jets on your boots like Cad Bane and other Bounty Hunters on SWTOR? Could they be used instead if jetpacks are so bad?
I never noticed before but just before windu cut off jangos head he tried to take off
an Irishman: Jango's jetpack got visually damage due to sparks flying from it after he rolled out of the way of that charging Reek, so he probably could use the jetpack to fly away because of that damage.
I should have added that the jetpack was damaged when he was trampled but the fact he tried to take off was a nice attention to detail
@@COH-gl5yg either way he shouldn't have jumped into the arena like a lemming in the first place he could have just fired from cover out of the jedis reach, possible thrown a thermal detonator or two.
Even with slight precognition giving them spider senses the jedi cant defend themselves against focused fire from all sides, everyone and everything in Star Wars just seems to politely and sluggishly shoot at them one at a time from easy to intercept angles
Could Darth Vader stop a disintegration round? If so how? I know there is some force ability to deal with blaster fire(energy based) weapons, but how would it work for the Mandalorians pulse rifle, how would he stop/deflect it, without his lightsaber. For that matter how would his lightsaber hold up to a shot from a disintegration round? Is it only organic material that catalysts the round? Or would the round cause some sort of short or overloading effect on a lightsaber?
When are you going to do a video on the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian, Paz Vizla?
Speaking of jet troopers fighting droid armies, jet troopers die a lot in classic Battlefront 1 and 2 against the droids.
