Swordfish if they had done that they may have missed the escape pods with people in them. The empire’s gamble was that the escape pods with people in them were far more likely to have the plans. In the chaos of battle you don’t have time to shoot everything. You have to choose your targets. In this case they chose poorly.
Wasn't the point to retrieve them? I don't want to be killed by vader....or shot out of an airlock....or worse, be Palpatine's new force lighting test dummy. No amount of convincing is gonna change my mind
I love that, during "Rise of Skywalker," a CR90 is in the background during Leia's funeral. It's almost Viking-ish. (Great leaders/warriors buried with their ship.)
@@dtinagliastudios Well, its a copy of Roj AND the writing is terrible. Instead of getting a new villain, they brang back Palpatine. They undid the chosen one prophecy, also Rey killed him so he should to took over him. He cloned himself so why is he on life support? I was like you when I first watched it, then I re watched it and realized everything wrong with it. The sequel trilogy was made for money, they ruined star wars. Rey deflected his force lightning and thats what killed him? Thats dumb. I mean, you can like it, but its dumb.
The CR 90 has so many engine thrusters in the back taking up so much space per ship size you would think it was the fastest ship under sublight speeds instead it's considered reliable because having so many it instead it's considered very balanced.
Those essential guide books, i got a few for ships droids, character races, and blasters, are really darn useful when your looking up shit. I legit pulled one out when the Scorpenek annihilator droid came out in book of boba Fett because i thought the damn thing was a Colicoid annihilator instead and got super fuckin confused when she called it a Scorpenek. I'm still wondering if its a name retcon or if its literally just a new model tbh...

Wow seeing this video it just becomes clearer and clearer that this is one of the most well thought through ships in the galaxy. From the escape pods to the armour to the well thought through weaponry - this thing seems like a very safe vehicle to navigate through the Star Wars-Galaxy. Definitely one of my favourites!
Personal favorite besides the U-Wing. With massive customization choices I can basically turn it into nearly anything i want it to be. It can hold tons of cargo and have enough room to carry a Small army. Given its history I believe it can speak for itself.
Imagine getting into a fight with this thing and finally blowing it up just for a bunch little tiny rocket rooms swarm around and shoot you then just blast away into hyperspace
Very nice, always love back stories to sci-fi / fantasy stuff, I saw the first movie at what was then the new wide screen theaters w stadium seating, I was in the 2nd row so the destroyer just got bigger and bigger, great when you're 13. Keep up the good work !
I think it could use some additional redundant shield generators, and more armor around the reactor. I would also modify it to carry around half a squadron of strike craft, and add some more point defense modules. That would greatly improve its tactical application and destructive power, and be much cheaper and more efficient than just adding more lasers.
I think that an additional redundant shield generator and a stronger hull, primarily around the reactor, would make this far more effective. increase the size of the ship to more match the engine's, which is the increased hull, which is modified to carry around half a squadron of strike craft add some more point defense modules That would greatly improve its tactical application and destructive power, and also carry a full squadron or 2 of troops would be great. make it cheaper and replace the single turbo lasers with the Charger C70's duel turbolaser cannons. and we have a winner
What you’re describing is absurdly more expensive. And possibly unfeasible. Also unstrategic. “Yes let’s make our ship who’s best tactical and strategic advantage is it’s speed and make it slower by adding a bunch of bulky armor”
Eric Andara me too but I would also modify it to have a few hanger bay as I think having more starfighters to protect my ship is wise in case if there is a group starfighter and/or bomber attacking the weak spots

This was one of my favorite rebel ship. She seems to have had many variants and with the modular design she could be turned into virtually anything needed. She did seem a bit under armed even for a corvette.
The first ship we see in Star Wars, and an iconic symbol of the rebellion. I wish I had the Lego model of this. Can it dock X-wings and Y-wings internally and externally, or are those to big? And those airlocks at the back on the sides don’t exactly look like airlocks, when I think airlocks I think of 2 doors, not 1
"Commander *tear this ship apart* until you've found those plans; And bring me the passengers, *_I WANT THEM ALIVE!"_* And so they did. They literally tore that ship apart looking for the plans. That's how Vader wants his orders followed. To the letter, without question. If he says 'tear this ship apart', he doesn't mean 'look in every crevice and crawl space'. He means, quite literally, to forcibly rip every panel off, strip the ship down to the frame, and inspect everything for those stolen plans. And then he had to put up with the Imperial Navy. Oafs like Ozzel, who are so busy second guessing his orders they shoot themselves in the foot by coming out of hyperspace too close to properly set up the cordon undetected, letting massive numbers of rebel forces escape what should otherwise have been a wall of destroyers and TIEs.
Night Crawler was actually modified twice, Wraith Squadron modified to original configuration to accomidate their X-Wings, while moving the TIEs to the escape pod areas.
I'm realizing now that the movies never do that good of a job communicating scale to the audience. This thing is twice the size I always thought it was until I was playing the first of the battlefront reboots and saw the crashed one on jakku
The ATST riding ontop of an ATAT is an interesting concept. Would have been cool if the ATAT could crouch or something, to allow the ATSTs ontop to jump off, which would require better jumping ability for the ATST. Would have been cool to have the ATAT as more of a vehicle and infantry carrier, requiring it to be lower to the ground, bit also still a tank in it's own right.
Definitely a really fun interesting ship, shows up a lot in the novels and the expanded universe. In one of the I think wraith Squadron novels there's a corellian Corvette decked out to carry Tie fighters internally.
Wow I never New the empire completely tore down the Tantive IV. I just always assumed they searched it thoroughly and sent it to a junk yard. Idk why it kinda makes me sad 😂
I'm kind of unsure on this, I was under the impression that it was junk-yard'd and recovered sometime before Last Jedi and presented to Leia as a gift. Pretty sure the ship seen in Last Jedi is actually Tantive IV
There is something about the cr90 that makes is one of my favourite ships....
It's the first ship we see in star wars
Caleb H Actually the second ship.
Melese Ghetahun {ImpPro} Nope. It's the first.
Its just cool.. My favourite.
Is apparently scaled down to around 100 metres in TROS (going by page 41 of the Visual Guide)
"And remember: always shoot at escape pods, even if no life is detected. And the force will be with you...always."
Swordfish if they had done that they may have missed the escape pods with people in them. The empire’s gamble was that the escape pods with people in them were far more likely to have the plans.
In the chaos of battle you don’t have time to shoot everything. You have to choose your targets. In this case they chose poorly.
*warcrime lawyer wants to know your location*
No..the real reason why they didn't shot is the fact that the movie would have ended right after 10 minutes.
Wasn't the point to retrieve them? I don't want to be killed by vader....or shot out of an airlock....or worse, be Palpatine's new force lighting test dummy. No amount of convincing is gonna change my mind
@@Quincy_Morris bbbu-bu-ut-but...it star 'stroyer. It big. Many gun. Shoot all. Zap!

AT-ST riding a AT-AT? sounds neat...
TheMovieGamer for that extra rebel pant-shitting.
TheMovieGamer An AT ST "riding" an AT AT
LOL !!!!!
It's how AT-RT's are made
No an AT-AT rides an AT-AT then they give birth to an AT-RT
Edit: then the AT-RT grows to an AT-ST, then AT-AT and finally an AT-M6

It's even called the blockade runner. It should be the fastest ship in the galaxy. But nope. For some reason it's just average.

Loved this ship since the first time I saw it in Episode IV
And it's never waned
Such a Classic Design

Chris one of the few viable star wars design
As another Chris, I find myself agreeing.
8:43
The T-6 was a trainer, not a racer. Though many today are used for that as well as demonstration aircraft
Easily my favourite rebel ship, but they will never be anywhere as cool as an ISD. Great vid as usual.
I'm happy that Night Caller finally got a mention in a video.
Thanks for throwing in the Night Caller. Time for a Lorran spitball...
You know, I love laying down and watching videos like this, videos that go really in depth on Star Wars. Thanks so much for this video, it’s amazing
This was always my favorite rebel ship because of the start of episode four when it fires backwards
Wow. I am so surprised this hasn’t been done before
I really wish we had such detailed blueprint/artwork for more Ships like Heavy Dreadnoughts or Hammerheads.
now we need a video on that CR90 2A Assassin Class Corvette and the Vanguard C20 for there stat's
Finally guys....the best ship in SW universe:))
Personal favorite besides the U-Wing. With massive customization choices I can basically turn it into nearly anything i want it to be. It can hold tons of cargo and have enough room to carry a Small army. Given its history I believe it can speak for itself.
The *very first ship* we see, behind the ISD, of course
This ship is great and it is cool. I love your channel and this ship is awesome. The CR90 is one of my favorite.
Same
That’s my work at 5:50!
I’m honored someone used it!
Are you going to cover the cr70
Yeah hopefully soon
This is my favourite corvette,it just works
What would you do i-
MORE LAZERS!
...You can take more time to answer if you'd like.
This would make a perfect gunboat to take on Imperial Light Cruisers.
Also Notification Squad, where you at???
NOTIFICATION SQUAD WHERE U AT!?!?!?!
lol right here fam
Considering its apparent modularity, I can imagine just two of them being an easy counter to one.
I do appreciate, that there is a clear definition between Legends and Disney-canon.
7:10 That is a DP20, not a CR90.
Love your channel, great stuff. Also happy to see you branching out from Star Wars.

Pretty sure the last E in “Tantive IV” is silent
same. that drove me nuts, lmao
As dumb as it seems, the E is not silent.
nope, thats actually how its pronounced
never realised how big it was
@@omarbaba9892 the one in TROS is a CR70, which is 30 meters shorter than a CR90, which explains why it looks so small
Somehow, the Tantive IV has returned

Yes finally the pain is over school is done and great video as always
Good video ! This is such a fine ship :)
I would modafy it to be a heavy armored and with a lot of guns
Eric Andara me too but I would also modify it to have a few hanger bay as I think having more starfighters to protect my ship is wise in case if there is a group starfighter and/or bomber attacking the weak spots

www.moddb.com/mods/awakening-of-the-rebellion-2/images/heavy-corellian-corvetteEric Andara and a heavy cr90
Me too but I would replace it with a Class one HD
Eric Andara Just go for the DP20 Frigate then
An iconic starship!
This ship is bigger than I thought it would be.
ahh my favorite corvette specially when described in the xwing series
Awesome video meta.
First, I was wondering when you would make a CR90 video and second, I didn’t think the inside and the outside would be big
One of my all time favorites! Love this vid, MNL! 👍
One of my absolute favourite ships ever. Would definitely want to have many in my imaginary fleet
One of my most favorite medium sized ships ^_^
This was on my birthday, Yay
I loved that ship
my favorite Rebel ship is the B Wing and Home One and the Nebulon B
u should also do the Inderdictor class Cruiser
what is your favorite Rebel ship
mine is the B Wing for their Fighters and the Nebulon B for their cruisers
Absolute favorite sci-fi ship
finally someone pronounced the ship's name correctly you get a like
Most iconic ship other than SDs
"Remember: never fly without escape pods, and the force will be with you al-"
*ad starts playing*
You should definently have more subs. Your videos are actually good, well thought out, quality
Gotta like a ship with a keg of beer up front. 😏🍺

Difficult. Might need to hollow out the rear section.

Hey wait a second… there is an art piece in this that normally has an Asari ship but it’s replaced with a CR90… That’s a damned good edit too.
Wow it’s a lot bigger then I thought
I loved them in empire at war, and the corellian gunships
I don’t know if you already had this video in development but if you didn’t, thanks for listening to my suggestion I left on you last video!
Great Video :)
I love it's anti-fighter role in Empire at War. 2 of those can take on any fighter and bombers. A little hard on taking down Tie-Defender
