Next video... what do you want to see? 🤔
Im working on a star wars story about a soldier in a planetary defense force during the clone wars. If you did a video breaking down ships and armaments that they normally use it would go a long way to help out my writing. I also don't really know what planet it should be set on.
The various warships and vehicles as portrayed in Empire at War?
I have been curious about the Sith Rule of Two. It is an interesting plot point, but obviously there are more than two Sith in the universe at any one time. I have come to understand the rule more as Sith pairing off, the same as the Jedi - master and apprentice.
#AskEck Could you please make a video on your favorite/most powerful faction in Star Wars canon
#AskEck Can you talk about how count dooku is never truly evil? He never gets the sith eyes cause I feel like he has good intentions at heart
Fighting for power amongst small factions is inevitable. Sure Mon Mothma made some super dumb decisions as the head of the NR but she united and carried the rebellion. Although alienating Bel Iblis was super dumb
Edit: thanks MarMar! Great editing
Angering Bel Iblis was dumb. Angering him by insisting on sticking to a plan based on old intel was idiotic. For those who don't know in the Legends continuity Garm bel Iblis, Mon Mothma, and Bail Organa were the big three leaders of the early Rebel Alliance which was composed initially of three resistance groups each led by one of them.
Each had areas they were stronger in and bel Iblis was the tactical and strategic expert of the trio.
At some point before Alderaan was destroyed Bail Organa and Mon Mothma drew up a plan to hit an Imperial base without discussing it with bel Iblis but decided to shelve it for a while. Months after the Battle of Yavin Mon Mothma dug out the plans for the attack and decided to run with it. bel Iblis has information indicating the base is much stronger Mon Mothma thinks and Mothma basically says "Your information doesn't matter we're sticking to the plan."
bel Iblis refuses to send his troops on what he views as a suicide mission so Mothma tells him the Alliance doesn't need him anymore. He and his loyalist leave to form their own rebel movement, and bel Iblis comes to believe Mon Mothma is planning to defeat Palpatine then to declare herself Empress though he eventually excepts that was a mistake on his part.
@@roguerifter9724 Do they eventually patch things up?
@Memelord1117 They do eventually patch thing up during Thrawn's attack of corusant in the third book of the heir to the empire trilogy.
@@Memelord1117 Yeah eventually
(Some Legends Thrawn novel trilogy spoilers ahead)
Garm realizes he misunderstood her motivations. He's visiting the planet when Coruscant was besieged by Thrawn (Why I don't recall and my copy of The Last Command is MIA.) so she asks him to take command of the defense and he's commissioned as a general in the New Republic military.
He apparently exists in canon, and was allied with Bail and Mon Mothma when they began to fear Palpatine's intentions during the Clone Wars but hasn't been mentioned beyond that. He's my favorite Legends character so I would like him to get more attention in canon if its a writer that won't set out to ignore everything established about him in Legends.
Bel Iblis and Mothma act like pouting children for as long as possible to keep him out of the fight until they can raise the stakes
Thanks to both marmar and eck. Marmar has done some fantastic editing, and eck has been making great content. Thanks for all the good work, both of you!
#AskEck On this topic of rebel worlds I have a lot of curiosity about Lothal, in the canon. They basically were able to defeat the empire and remain free during the entire galactic civil war, but what were they doing meanwhile? Manufacturing for the alliance? Just taking care of their business? Nothing? Is one of the things I would like to see explained in canon.
Yeah, it's completely undefined within the canonical continuity. I like to personally rationalise that the Galactic Empire engaging the Alliance within open-war, only a few months or weeks after the Battle of Lothal would have diverged their attention from potentially retaking the planet. Lothal is actually far flung, according to essentially all canonical star maps and star charts. It must've been quite a substantial logistical effort to maintain supply lines and support to that region of space. That in tandem with the aforementioned would perhaps ensure a precarious safe space for Lothal.
Marmar is doing a fantastic and subtle job, keep up the brilliant work both of you.
I've always wondered if Operation Domino was a reference to the RTS games (like Galaxy At War), given how the old policy used to be "if it's a Star Wars product, it's canon until proven otherwise". Kind of a way to acknowledge their existence while saying "but that's not how it ended up going".
No the name is a giveaway to what it is a reference to. Operation Domino is a reference to the Domino Theory posited in the Cold War that if one nation went Communist, their neighbors would soon follow. Jason Fry, who wrote that the lore about Operation Domino said as much.
@@emberfist8347 Makes sense, I suppose. George Lucas did say that Star Wars was partially inspired by the Vietnam War.
#AskEck Two Questions
1. If the Imperial Senate was still around by Endor, do you think they could have chosen a new Emperor and avoid the complete fracture of the Empire, least to the same degree? I know that by Yavin the Senate was just a rubber stap, but it is something I have always wondered about.
2. What are your thoughts on Ederlathh Pallopides, the supposed grand neice of Palpatine? Shes and obscure character in legends which I find interesting, expecially since there was an attempt to make her Empress, and also of course the lore conflict since Palpatine killed on his siblings and his parents.
Then you get stuff in canon (like the Mid Rim Offensive from the Star Wars Twilight Company novel) that seem to be not quite the same. The Rebels advance along the Mid Rim until they outrun their supply lines, then begin a fighting withdraw that seems to end with it's falling to guerilla warfare sometime before Hoth. Then the Rebellion is scattered after Hoth and the Empire is hunting down their fleets and there's barely any level of coordination until after Endor.
The Mid Rim Offensive at least seems like it ended in a controlled fashion rather than a collapse. But (likely) in universe it gained ground in isolated areas until the Empire threw together enough forces to drive the Alliance back, whereupon they gave up most of the territory they took.
Legends is the true canon
@@coolname2629Whatever dude.
That offensive from Twilight Company was very well depicted, the warfare from that novel is great.
"It basically assumed that pure passion would be enough to defeat the Empire and fight the start for peace across the galaxy" when you put it that way, it almost sounds like using the Dark Side to fight the Sith
"I am condemned, to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them"
@@cloudmaster182 The more I think about this concept, the more I want to see it expanded
If you think about it, Leia followed the sith code to a T.
Just read the sith code and think about her actions
@@Fanboy_of_everything nahh kinda just sounds like ur reaching
Thanks marmar, the editing is noticed and appreciated, like having appropriate b-roll and not just using the swtor cinematics as footage for anything book related. lol
Glad to hear you enjoy the editing! It's been a big of an arduous process to find some footage for the background, a bit difficult sometimes to find high quality scans of some of the pictures tho.
@@MarMarBunbun As a fellow editor, I can sympathise and appreciate the work. Much as I love swtor, it was getting a bit much to just rewatch the same duel over unrelated topics. lol
@@MarMarBunbunoh is that u editing? U do a really kick ass job then.
#AskEck What do we know of the development of the Venator? Was it ready at the outset of the Clone Wars or did it enter service sometime after it began? And what did the Republic Navy have before the Venator (and by extension, the Victory) came into service that could stand up to Seperatist capital ships?
Lore ship Versus video request:
Resurgent vs. Starhawk
Tie Striker vs. New Republic V-Wing
World Devastator vs. Vong Worldship
Tie Silencer vs. X-83 Twintail
Tie Silencer vs. Tie Defender (legends version)
Keldabe vs. ISD II
MC90 vs. Nebula class star destroyer
Nebula class vs. Pellaeon class
Majestic class vs. Bothan Assault Cruiser
EAWX: FOTR’s Mandator II portrayal vs. Subjugator
Praetor vs. Subjugator
EAWX: TR’s Mediator portrayal vs. Resurgent
Starhawk vs. Bulwark MK III
Gargantua/Aratech 520 Battle Platform vs. A6 Juggernaut
We know the Venator was developed some time after the war began. This is clear from the 2D micro series which shows Acclimator-class ships acting as carriers in the first months of the war. It is also clear from who built it. Almost all the early GAR craft were built by the company Rothana Heavy Engineering which was the skunkworks division of Kuat Drive Yards. The Venator was built by KDY itself who took all the credit for the products Rothana because they were the parent company and all that. Before the Venator entered service, the main capital ships were smaller models such as the Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser which were built on Russan-era treaty restrictions and the largest ships they had were the Mandator-class a star dreadnought but a lumbering and poorly armed for their size because of the treaties I mention. The Venator was pretty much one of the first ships built once the Russan Refrormations were thrown out of the window.
@@emberfist8347 you forgot to mention that an acclamator was modified into a carrier for the muunalist campaign in the ‘03 clone wars series. I know the Republic had a shit ton of dreadnought class heavy cruisers lying around as well as those of battlecruiser and star Dreadnought size (over 2 km long) but I’m asking about those vessels used as frontline battleships (aka Star destroyer range) in the 1-2 km range.
@@lightspeedvictory They didn’t have anything so Acclimators were the closest they had.
in some ways operation Domino was like the Tet Offensive. the belief that a few show piece uprisings and sneek attacks would create a mass revolt.
This was what I was going to write. I think it's inspired by this and kind of chimes with Lucas' referencing of the rebellion as similar to the Vietnamese
@@jcsmith333 one thing that always bugged me about rebels was the lack of merchant raiders and disguised carriers.
given the rebellions size... "small" carriers with a capacity of 6-18 ships would have been prefect. different cells operating a single ship that looked like a merchent ship. say a GR-75 modified to carry 6 x-wings. operating as a mobile supply base... jumping "near" an imperial target... the fighters then launching and only having to do a short jump, engage, jump back and repair and rearm... saving the pilots from having to spend days in the cockpit for each mission.
add to that again, medium freighters with hiden guns and/or weapons. Again picture a GR-75, how many cargo pods are open on its front... or belly... now picture each of those carrying a set of missiles and torpedoes. as an imperial ship even a star destroyer, approaches, the GR-75 opens its cargo bays and puts out dozens or even 100's of torpedoes on the star destroy then jumps out. this would quickly overwhelm the shields of even a star destroyer... and likely do serious damage across the ship.
while it might not be a "kill" if you can keep forcing star destroyeres into drydock for months, to get repaired... you are going to quickly demoralize crew... have captains blamed... and undermine chains of command.
@@jenniferstewarts4851 Yeah, there's a lot of references to hit and fade tactics in SW (not sure if EU or current content), and I think the rebels would have been inventive enough to use what they had to benefit from the element of surprise.
I like the fraying at the edges strategy and the issue to do with morale affecting the Imperials.
Again it echoes the American War in Vietnam, where the overwhelming superiority of the US military wasn't able to always be used effectively because the Vietnamese would often just disappear.
This had a demoralising effect and maybe also led to bad decision-making and retribution against civilians, which would play into the Vietnamese hands
@@jcsmith333 During ww1 and ww2, there was something called "Merchant raiders". These were civilian ships armed with hidden weapons.
these ships started life as merchant ships often refrigerator ships. They were then armed with hidden weapons. 6 inch and even 8 inch guns disguised as shipping crates that would "fall open" when an enemy ship got close enough.
many carried mines and acted as mine layers deploying mines from covert rails. and in some cases they even carried underwater torpedo tubes. mounted much like a submarines in the bow and stern, then maybe 1 or 2 launchers per side... they could wait for an enemy warship to pull close for an inspection then hit it with torps often at point blank ranges. IN in WW1 and even early ww2, 2 torps were a major threat to even battlecruisers and some battleships.
the japanese also operated the I-400 class of subs... submersible aircraft carriers designed for covert operations. Able to surface and lauch aircraft against targets, recover them then dive and move away...
while we see small fighter scale freighters used as fighters and attack we never really see larger ships used in this roll...
Heck again, picture a GR-75 dumping 20-30 ion torpedo's into a star destroyer, then with its shields down guns offline, opening up with 100-200 concussion missiles across the hull targetting the big turrets, bridge, shield generators, sensors, and once fired turning and jumping out...
@@jcsmith333It is actually inspired by the Domino Theory and how it turned out in practice.
THANK YOU MARMAR, your videos rocks and I am so glad that you are here to help the channel grow and develop. May the Force be with you, always.
Great job on the editing Marmar! And cute sona too!
Awww thank you, glad you find my sona cute. glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks marmar I hope I spelled that right ❤ also congrats on your new baby Justin love seeing you grow I've been watching you since I graduated highschool I'm 25 now
I'm loving these AskEck segments - keep them coming! And great job @Marmar, the quality is not just fantastic, but seamless - I can't tell it isn't J. doing it himself.
I would LOVE a Canon version of the Essential Guide to Warfare! The closest thing we have is "Battles that Changed the Galaxy," which I heard is close in terms of content but not exactly the same.
Love your work Eck please keep it up, thought i knew a bit about Star Wars, but WOW learnt more from you.
I would like a novel based on the RA Ordnance and Supply division. They were responsible for finding and securing food, medicine, weapons and starships. I would have them using old starfighters like the Toscan 8-Q and the Starchashers to capture freighters and transports and make deals with farmers and merchants for all the necessities.
It could also possibly show a bit more of what Winter was doing for the Alliance
@@Mann528 has winter even been seen in the movies or tv shows? Hopefully she’ll be in Andor.
No. She has only been in books and (I think)

Shoutout to marmar, editors rarely get enough credit for the work they do on youtube
Well they get paid for it...

This book is absolute MADNESS. It tell us the whole military history of the Galaxy, from Xendor's rebellion in 25.000 BBY to Darth Krayt's Empire. I freaking love the unique illustrations by Chris Scalf that depict the Pius Dea Crusades, Darth Bane's duel on Tython, the Yuuzhan Vong War, etc. Anyway, my only problem with the book is how it tries to fit the Clone Wars CGI show in the Legends continuity, even though Filoni's cartoon has too many important inconsistencies to make something like that possible
Absolutely reccomended
@@michaelandreipalon359
Troy Denning's books, despite being too s*xually questionable, at least don't destroy the continuity, like Filoni did
@@michaelandreipalon359
Which especific parts did he retcon? By the way, don't say "X was out of character in this book", because that's something completely subjective, unlike events
@@michaelandreipalon359
How is it otherwise incompatible?
@@michaelandreipalon359
But that's not Troy Denning's fault. Dave Filoni caused those inconsistencies and then Lucasfilm forced Troy and other authors to include references to TCW in their product, no matter how destructive to continuity that would be.
@@michaelandreipalon359
Anyway, I honestly think the Mortis TCW event could have actually happened in Legends, as long as Ahsoka wasn't with Anakin and Obi-Wan, of course
Congrats on the new baby.
Omg Star Wars battlefront 2 in the background I love it
Dude, genuinely didnt notice the editor change. Marmar, you're real talented!
I have to admit, I am kind of curious about a logistics/supply centered story. Like a back water world in imperial records that makes rink-a-dink harvesters, produces some food, and pays their taxes. But on the ground they overproduce and send the excess to the rebels. Probably my nerd brain at work, but still.
#AskEck What if the Rebellion were able to set up in the unknown regions with the help of the Chiss Ascendancy?
The Chiss Ascendency would have no interest in aiding the ones fighting the power they saw as their potential ally against the Far Outsiders. If anything, they would use the rebels as an opportunity to gain the Empire's favour.
@@violetlight1548 I’m not so sure about that given they weren’t thrilled about Thrawn siding with the empire over them.
would be interesting, the rebels or the republic in exile could give the Chiss and other regional powers access to their technology: droids technology being the very interesting to Thrawn along with how the core/rep do faster then light travel without the nav guilds.
biggest draw backs are: the unknown space isn't empty so were are they going to set up without upsetting their new neighbors? another big problem is the unknown space is being conquered by a shadowy cabal.
They couldn't do that, because helping the rebels would be considered an act of war by the empire, and the Chiss don't start wars.
I imagine mass panic spread on Lothal when news of Alderaan's destruction and the existence of a Death Star reached them.
Also, Lothal in canon was def one of the prime targets of the DS2.
Yes, Palpatine's a sore loser and would've had Lothal blown up to spite Ezra and to destroy a symbol of resistance to Imperial rule.
I legit think that raising an army, even if out of a revolutionary movement, makes more sense. The fact it failed makes it more realistic, even if it looks dumb in retrospective. Reminds me of the separatists during the clone wars. A messy war, one where you don't care about the means but the results. The rebels in the original trilogy looks pulled out of a show for teens, with their small teams beating the big bad unlimited empire. I guess the rebel leadership was too idealistic right away, and learned the power of stealth with time.
Big thanks Marmar! From an OG (ANH) Star Wars fan.
Operation Domino sounds like the kind of plan that Disney would have used if they made the original trilogy except they would have won through deus ex machina and overpowered characters.
Marmar out here putting in work
Thanks Marmar! I appreciate your hard work.
Hey eck thank you and marmar for the work youve been putting up to make some amazing content so thanks for that
Another concept that would be cool to see, would be regiments of the imperial military going rogue. With how the Empire treated certain campaigns, like Mimban, it is possible for a group of imperial soldiers to become dissilusioned.
An entire group of well trained, well equipped rebels armed with imperial hardware could pose a significant threat.
I agree 100% that having a movie or TV series detailing how the Rebel Alliance got and maintained their X-Wings, and other fighting craft, would be phenomenal if done correctly.
This operation sounds like something you should do after the Empire blew up -it's reputation- Alderan and lost the weapon to do it. I imagine a lot of not only systems but the very Imperial units revolting en masse. But that would be a bloody and uncontrollable revolution.
On the other hand, rebel medical frigates are supposedly constructed by the Empire, and it would be really interesting if they were run by ex-Imperials. Stormtroopers with rebel camo paintjobs are not a thing, but they really should be.
Nah Stormtroopers are too indoctrinated to be turned. The Ex-Imperials that joined the Rebellion en masse after Alderaan were mostly generationals who served in the Clone Wars and thought of the Empire as a successor to the Republic.
Thanks for all the videos you make Eck! I’ve been watching you for years now and you’ve always been a source of comfort and joy! Happy new year!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words and donation!!
So, Death Star was an answer to Domino before Domino even existed.
"Operation Domino" succeeding would be like "What happens when Rebel EAW Campaigns become Canon"
A series about the folks behind procurements for the Rebel Alliance would be fantastic.
At least they fixed their mistakes later on.
Question though: how would an alliance government work? Is it an actual government type?
No, it was not. Mon Mothma held supreme command, but often delegated to her military leaders like ackbar
@@EckhartsLadder I see
No it was an actual government. The civil side of the Alliance was also headed by Mon Mothma and you had different ministries handling different duties that often worked with other Alliance branches (For example the Ministry of Education worked with Alliance Intelligence to expose Imperial atrocities) the government positions of the cabinet changed often as it was held by the member worlds of Alliance who made the most sacrifices at the moment (except for Alderaan as Leia didn’t want to be moved out of active duty).
They did in fact establish a full government, at least in Legends. Ifk wtf the New Republic is supposed to be doing in Disney lore, but in the old Legends lore they became the New Republic as well.
The clue is in the name, I guess. "Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic"
But yeah, they essentially just take over the Imperial government, with Mon Mothma leading this laying of in-roads into government as well as other Rebel-allied political figures. They also had to restore the Republic Senate entirely anyways as Palpatine had disbanded it when it was still the Imperial Senate.
Many of the miltary leaders in the Legends NR were just experienced Rebel fighters and commaders, obviously. Essentially they just kept upgrading Rebel technology like the Mon Cala cruisers and X-Wings for a while, sometimes making a new model like the K-Wing.
Holy shit, I remember interacting with Mar in stream chats, good work Mar!
It's always been crazy to me that Eck isn't a bigger channel, he's been grinding for years now
Yea. Its the algorythm i think. Cuz i love his work but i nvr see his content till i forgot about him. Now all of a sudden he appeared again.
It's got something to do with YT delistinh users that criticize Disney and their business decisions too much.
Those that run YT are all buddy-buddy with the jerk0ffs in Hollywood so don't put it past them.
They also got caught bribing Rotten Tomatoes into deleting bad reviews, so that tells me that Disney is absolutely unscrupulous enough to use their influence at RUclips HQ to blacklist anyone who critiques them, especially now as they hemorrhage money.
If I remember Lothal was at the far-end of the hyperspace lane (at least one one map) that had Mon Cala on it.
I'm not 100% sure how reliable the map was, but that could also explains why Lothal didn't get retribution.
They had some sort of retribution tho. The empire burned down Tarkin Town, large extends of slave Labour etc.
@@Dudewithguns-ww7wc that was before the Purgill. I'm referring to last episode Epilogue
Those paintings are amazing. Are they from the Warfare book?
So I know this can be a touchy subject among people, but I was looking through your playlist and I didn't see anything covering the lore of the Star Citizen universe. Now, obviously, the game has its controversies and the amount of lore is less currently than other sci-fi universes, however its still a pretty well fleshed out world and I was curious if you ever considered making a video or two talking about it? You may have already done that or explained why you don't want to, but I didn't see the videos on that as I am an infrequent viewer of your channel and don't see everything you post. So if you have already talked about it, my apologies for missing that.
Marmar is a real one! Wouldn’t mind more marmar tidbits scattered through videos.
When Lucas and crew started filling out the lore after the OT, they fell into the writing trap of Good is Dumb. And it never got fixed. Lucas started in the pulp, serialized style he loved, but that type of storytelling falls apart when you start world building.
I always found it strange that the period of the empire and rebellion is called the galactic civil war, but the clone wars isn't
Think of all the personnel and resources the early Rebellion could have had if they had not gone through operation Domino
“I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see.“ - Luthen
Thanks Marmar, also congrats and good luck Eck XD
Love the content keep up the great work!
#AskEck Could you please make a video on your favorite/most powerful faction in Star Wars canon?
Holy crap, thanks for answering my #AskEck question! I've been posting that for a few months now, I hadn't expected you'd actually pick it! Another awesome lore video man, keep 'em coming!
It’s interesting how the Alliance in the Legends Canon understood that a strong military was essential for holding back even the Imperial Remnant, but in the Disney Canon Mothma just threw is all away. Right there, that was galactically dumb. 🤦♂️
Thanks Marmar! Great work!
I really like this; it shows mistakes and evolution in the military campaign.
In theory, Dominos could've worked and wasn't terribly too stupid, just early. The galaxy at large, from the Republic to the Empire Eras is more like a coalition. Most planets have their own military forces and navy (as seen with Naboo and Geonosis), and prior to the Clone Army there was no unifying military force. Any military action would require bureaucratically gathering token forces from Senate members. So when the Grand Army came about, the Clone Wars gave the Republic the resources and tools to jumpstart it's own enforcement core.
We know the Empire only had so many Star Destroyers and Stormtroopers; but while they weren't heavily involved on every planet everywhere, they were plenty large enough to go after a number of worlds, even simultaneously. And if the rebelling planets weren't unified, they could be systematically crushed easily (which apparently is what happened).
Thanks Marmar!! The videos are great!
I want more videos on how the New Republic got a foothold on the galaxy in Legends.
This guy stared into the abyss of lore and the abyss stared back.
If you are not subbed to Eck I strongly recommend it, There’s a lot of Star Wars channels but in my opinion eck is the most well written, thought out, other than personal opinions, he uses lore, or canon info, never his personal fan fiction.
In canon after the first deathstar was destroyed the alliance actually took a lot of outer rim and pushed into the mid rim as well. Briefly touched on in the twilight company book.
It certainly makes sense the early Rebellion made some major mistakes. After coming out of the Clone Wars, the leaders were used to being on the side with overwhelming firepower. It was a very different war. It took making mistakes to realize guerrilla tactics were the only way to fight the Empire with any hope for success.
Isn't Rebels basically a story of a backwater manufacturing planet that gains independence?
Viewers: man geez RUclips recs is boring lately
Star Wars Content: *Hello There!!!*
it not being dumb, they are just fighting the last war. this always happen when a new war starts or fighting a different war. the commanders just don't have the skills, adaptability or the experiences.
Domino was essentially the separatist 2.0 the Emoire is design against this
Honestly that plan sounded as feasible as the rebels after Yavin doing attrition warfare while on the offensive.
Thanks Marmar!
Thank you Marmar!
"Domino" is a modern-day cultural reference. Interesting that it slipped past the usual sci-fi-ization filter.
Eck please make longer videos again PLEASE
How are 63% of us not subscribed the the best Star Wars content on YT? Are we blind, deploy the subs!
My biggest question is why Empire didn't use death star to blow up Mon Calamari, they clearly seen that majority of rebel line ships come from there
Hopefully in bbs3 we can see the start of the rebellion, not just the clone rebellion but how the rebels first attacked the empire and how the empire responded
Thanks MarMar!
Nice to see you holding the line by still focusing on actual star wars lore and content. A lot of other channels are falling for the ragebait "woke" dramafarming and it's good to see you just talk about star wars, honestly.
Filtering out ragebait is the hardest part of being a SW & 40k fan for me.
thanks Marmar :)
Thanks MarMar
The issue for those seeking to hold land/planets were older commanders from the Republic and deserting Imperial officers who thought about the Clone Wars mentality. Traditional warfare could be done.
Thank you marmar
I have a question: Why did the republic in the clone wars not a type of venter star destroyer that remove the huge hanger bay and replace it with more weapons and armor? Because it would have made the republic fleet more balanced, and you wouldn't have to change much in terms of the slipways/shipyard, retrain the workforce, or development time.
"Not build"
Tell Marmar she's doing a great job :)
Thanks Marmar
Secession worlds should be a plot point in Andor season 2 or 3
Love your channel.
I suppose you see Operation Domino in the Imperial battle in Solo.
Thank you, MarMar.
Thanks to ton Marmar. You too Eck good work 👍
i like how Mon Mothma was updated on the thumbnail. nice touch. but don't be soo hard on them. they did the best they could with what they had. they were most likely scared and paranoid for their lives.
This worlds literally said "I die trying to fight standing, not like a coward that holds a gun hinder his back."
And I can respect that. It's foolish and stupid but respectable.
Feels like sector forces should have coordinated for hit and run or moved military infrastructure to new planets
MarMar the GOAT
Marmar and Eck the goats‼️‼️
Also i think Bel Iblis was also in the right with allying to several separatist forces. It wasted a lot of ressources to enter in a 3 way fight between rebellion, separatists and imperium. It may some backlash if there is an alliance but atleast a non aggression pact would helped the rebellion not waste personals
They didn’t have anyone to sign a non-aggression pact. The Separatist holdouts were small cells with no central command structure like the Alliance had. Some former Separatist did join the Alliance but they had to renounce their former allegiance to the CIS and the war crimes it committed.
There is a reason we didn’t have former Nazis help us fight the Soviets in a Third World War.
@@Veylon I am referring to how West Germany was not a thing for 5 years and the big names were almost all executed.
#AskEck - How did the Empire not know that leaders like Leia, Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis were opposing them? And if they did, why didnt they just fully occupy/assault those planets?
The rebels were slippery and hard to catch, but they were mobile and fast. Planets and the millions of people on them aren't. I find it hard to believe the Empire wouldn't immediately bring down the hammer on them. On Mon Cala, the oceans and durability of Mon Calamari ships and planets were good at outlasting orbital assaults, but even a powerful planetary shield on a core world like Alderaan wouldn't be able to outlast several months of bombardment from a fleet of Star Destroyers. That's also not mentioning the possibilities of blockades, special forces infiltrating the shield, or a number of other methods to bypass these shields.
I can't imagine that the Empire would be aware of a planet supporting the rebels and letting them get away with it.
Leia was able to get away with it because her father and her couched their critiques of the Empire as loyalists basically being the brutally honest types and Leia was too popular from her legitimate diplomatic aid missions to be on a hit list the closest they got was the Force Unleashed when they had to taken as an “observer” the Imperial occupation force on Kashyyyk to keep her father in line “it would be a shame if she was killed by a escaped Wookiee prisoner wouldn’t it bail?” And the game has not physically present at the signing of the Corellian Treaty.
They knew about Mon Mothma and Bel Iblis and tried to arrest the former and assassinate the later. Mon Mothma was secretly warned by Bail and left the Senate before she could get arrested and Bel Iblis survived the attempt on his life and used it to fake his death.
As for Mon Calarmari the Empire never had the time to send a battle fleet (which was the only force capable of doing that bombardment you described) because they kept trying to track the Alliance High Command and the Rebel Fleet with Mon Calamari being tertiary.
#AskEck Could you do a video on the history of Imperial repulsor tanks. And would Hoth have been more successful for the empire if High Colonel Zel Johans had been able to participate and have more of an influence on Imperial armor Doctrine?
Marmar a real one
