I love that the Rogue One introduced the U-wing and Reaper and everyone was just so chill with it. Like, they're both getting used like they were in the setting all along.
@@Sky_Guy It's always baffled me how the sequels went from creating some of the best ship designs in all of Star Wars, to the most uninspired within 3 movies. It's not as if the designs in general got lower in quality. Stormtrooper designs have been absolutely phenomenal ever since Disney took over and they constantly top themselves, but man I would've loved a new Capital Ship that rivals the Resurgent I can respect the odd designs from TLJ, because there was thought behind them and they do fit within the general Star Wars ship style and Solo honestly had some great designs for vehicles and ships, but TROS just sticks out like a sore thumb with the designs.
Because everything else just fits. Imperial 1 star destroyers, X-Wings, Mon Cala capital ships... It just fits perfectly into the universe. Why wouldn't there be a U-Wing or a Reaper? It's like when Ep5 introduced the Executor. Back then, you did not have fans complaining about the new class. Why? Because it fits into the setting. U-Wings, Reapers and MC-75 just have that seemless feel to them. It does not feel like an Addon. Just like something that always existed, but wasn't shown until now.
Rogue One was by far the best modern addition to the Star Wars Lore in terms of ship design. The MC-75, U-Wing, TIE Striker, and TIE Reaper, all amazing designs. Defo gonna be using these in my next Age of Rebellion game. Amazing video too, you never disappoint Spacedock.
The entire Sinar fleet systems _line of Ties_ would've made more sense and been more practical if they had followed the paradigm of having solar panels mounted perpendicular to the hull like the Reaper and the Striker. No obstruction of vision, side target profile isn't huge, and can manoeuver far better in atmosphere (useful for maintaining dominance over were people actually live, and where enemy bases tend to be … based). And if they folded up it would make storing them far more efficient and compact in a hanger. The First Order Ties should have taken cues from the Striker design and had "wing panels" instead of the same model with a new paint job.
@@Bruh-hq1hx That's due more to necessity since they often don't have the resources to construct landing pads. I guess it makes the ship less top-heavy on uneven ground?
@@zelithfang2365 I still think the FO would've been way better if they had stayed as only a handful of capital ships, but were able to leverage their wealth to acquire Defenders along with Interceptors for their ships, it would have fit well with their Resgurgent class being far more expensive than a standard ISD and much more capable, and it would have made the FO a credible threat to the fledgling New Republic while not being completely rediculous. Hell, if you want a superweapon, an automated Defender factory that can crank em out like standard TIEs would be a huge threat fairly quickly and would be something different for a change instead of Deathstar 3 but bigger because disney needs to be bigger and better than original films
@@battleoid2411 that won't be the case, I'm afraid. The First Order is basically the Weerhoboos of the Star Wars universe, and Star Killer had paid self SEVERAL times over with its only strike. Basically, Starkiller took out the entire upper echelons of the New Republic leadership in a single blow. Since the New Republic wasn't CnC's GDI who suffered something similar but within weeks turned it around and then took it to Nod's HQ in Serbia... before getting an alien invasion (the Scrin) right on top of everything and within weeks forced them back to their only interstellar wormhole generator complex...
I don't think the Tarkin doctrine is universal across the empire, only the regions that Tarkin had any influence. But he had vast influence due to being emperor's favourite.
I can really appreciate how the Reaper feels like a logical successor to the LAAT. Not only can it fill the transport role the LAAT filled during the clone wars(a role that no other Imperial ships can fill) but it can carry out ESM, Support and Scout missions. It's just nice to see the Empire improving on Republic designs instead of making worse versions of Clone Wars vehicles.
Definitely one of my favorite Imperial ship designs. Rogue One gave us this, Death Troopers and the Occupier tank, all three being incredibly fitting and just plain cool.
Occupier tank was too obviously a real-world vehicle with some tubes glued to it imo. I think it could do without the side turrets and maybe a few more angles concealing the base vehicle.
@@aurtosebaelheim5942 Completely disagree, it's utilitarian, it fits the stripped-down aesthetic nature of a lot of the Empire's vehicles. And it was nice to see something like a tank that didn't try to be something more, since AT-STs are also a thing that fit a slightly different role.
The reaper was basically a resurrection of the old Sith imperial fury class intercepter used in the old republic Era. It's neat that the emperor brought back a large number of 'Sithy' ships for his empire.
@@deaddoglasagna7793 this is why she needs a reaper. Grand Inquisitor "The Jedi are on top the next building, let's fly there" Rest of the Inquisitors "Sure" Ninth Sister "Ermmmm...boss, could you call in a Reaper?"
Love the design, Sleek, Intimidating and well armed, It just looks cool in squadrons being deployed coming out of Star Destroyers with TIE fighters ahead of it.
This thing has a class 1 hyperdrive! I would have expected a class 3 or 4 at best given how expensive they are and the fact these things were made by Sienar. Seems a tad excessive aside from the small handful set aside for groups like the inquisition.
I always thought the Reaper would perform well if they doubled it as a heavy bomber as well, like the Imperial equivalent of a B-Wing. It certainly makes more sense than the normal Tie Bomber which has a smaller payload capacity and lacks the speed and shields you'd expect from something in that role. If you just modified the troop compartment on the Reaper you could have it carry a very impressive payload.
Sorry for this not being related to the video here, but is it possible that you could make more Space Battleship Yamato ship breakdowns? I'd love to see more of them.
It had orange thrusters in fallen order but blue in squadrons and in one scene during rogue one it looked like they forgot to add the lighted up thrusters
There's 15 years between the two stories, so maybe the Empire updated to the twin ion engines, making the blue afterburners later in time. And Rogue One had done big hiccups in the last stretch, so a bit of missed animation wouldn't surprise me.
@@kaicreech7336 It's not a complaint, it's a statement of fact. While I agree that wanton criticism is rife in the Star Wars fandom, it's not unhealthy to point out deficiencies even in a franchise you love to death.
The Tie Reaper looks like it could dock forward ventral section with the Raider Class Imperial Corvette. Sort of redundant since the Raider can land on a planet's surface but the Reaper's still a useful option to be used in case the Raider's too big like going inside a small hangar bay.
I've always been a bit confused. Are the black panel wings on TIE variants solar panels or heat radiators? I've heard both takes. This video said solar panels so is that what new canon has decided on?
In Canon they are solar panels with piping for heat radiators, but people like to disagree with canon arguing they couldnt possibly provide enough energy. Doesnt help that the TIE fighters reactor is also called variously a 'Solar Ionisation Reactor' or a 'solar furnace'.
At the risk of getting blacklisted by you, I have to make this request. In the TV movie paw patrol Fly to the rescue each team member got a jet. How exactly is Rubble supposed to use his jet construction rig? It has a bulldozer blade on the nose and probably a boom arm in the rear and it's a high altitude vtol jet.
So basically, the TIE/rp is the Canon equivalent to the Delta-class DX-9 Stormtrooper Transport (TRN) of the old X-Wing games, sounds like? Playing Squadrons, it seems to fill a similar role, even if they aren't as common, and has very similar capabilities in terms of armament, crew/passengers, hyperdrive, and even length (the DX-9 being 20 meters to the TIE/rp's 21), making it functionally equivalent. The TIE/rp is probably a bit more maneuverable and modular (in Squadrons, of course), but it seems to be more or less the Canon equivalent. Granted, it seems to be less common, as TRNs were basically everywhere in X-Wing and TIE Fighter games, while the TIE/rp is somewhat less common and seems to fill a more specialized role, shifting to even more of an important role post-Endor.
Hey love your channel and all the hard work you put in. However, was curious is you would ever come out of the stars and back down to earth by doing reviews of other popular sci-fi shows. Such as AIRWOLF helicopter (TV Show), FIREFOX (Clint Eastwood movie), Blue Thunder TV show, Knight Rider TV Show, Street Hawk TV show, SeaQuest TV Show, ThunderCats TV show Thunder Tank, Buck Rodger in the 24th Century TV Show and the ships from Space 1999 TV show. The list goes on and on, just an idea, but really hope these other gems get some love soon.
The TIE Huey deployed to a Jungle planet where the might of the Imperium was defeated by a primitive species or teddy bears. The planet's name was Namviet.
back when Rogue One was new they released a bunch of toy ships i had bought, they had the U-Wing and Tie Striker, but sadly didnt have the Tie Reaper, would have liked one of those.
The direction of the ramp doesn't make much sense. Shouldn't it face toward the rear instead of facing forward? How are troops supposed to deploy except four at a time?
I like this design, but I always felt it was under armed for some reason, especially when compared to the LAATs used by the Republic. With the U-Wing it is more understandable since it is a Rebel design and pretty much an ad hoc creation to give the Rebels something to fight in aerial/ground warfare. The Reaper could carry more, than just a couple laser cannons (LAATs were littered with guns). Perhaps we never had a chance to see it in Rogue One in full action besides dumping troops.
@Spacedock I know you think the U-Wing is probably the greatest contribution Disney has made to the Star Wars franchise from a spaceship perspective, so I'm just wondering what your personal thoughts on both the Reaper and Striker are.
What does "fighter support" mean within the actual story? You don't think the reaper and U-wing are flying around shooting magical ship healing missiles? I'm sorry, I understand why it's a thing in Squadrons, it makes sense and fits well within the game, but I don't think we should consider it cannon.
@@UGNAvalon so EW and AWACS craft - as for resupply I would be cautious mostly due to size of craft and fact that it was not designed to be dedicated transport/refuelling shuttle and just say it was for the purpose of game
@@UGNAvalon Scanners and sensor jammers make sense for a long range patrol/scout craft, but I still don't see it being part of a fighter squadron. Neither the reaper nor the U-wing look large enough to hold much spare fuel or ordinance, and besides that, how exactly does it get fuel into the tanks or new ordinance into the torpedo tubes of fighters in mid-flight? Again, just doesn't make sense to me outside the game.
I imagine its just modular to a decent degree, so you have some EW and fighter support stuff for one mission, maybe extended tanks and extra sensors for a scout mission etc.
@@frag2k12 A lot of nations' military helicopters that are not purpose built attack craft (like the Cobra or Apache are) have that kind of flexibility. You put strong engines in a sturdy and roomy fuselage, and you can do anything from deliver troops and supplies to sub hunting and even be an ambulance, or a second-tier gunship or EWO/comms platform. They can even be kitted out with comfortable seating for ferrying general grade officers and VIPs.
We have cargo planes that serve as the platform for multiple mission types. The C-130, for example, can be seen as cargo hauler, firefighting bomber, hurricane hunter, electronic support, refueling tanker, and a gunship.
I like the overall shape of the Reaper, but it's size relative to other craft seems a bit out of place. It would seem a bit more appropriate at about 80% of its current scale

U-Wings, Reapers and MC-75 just have that seemless feel to them. It does not feel like an Addon. Just like something that always existed, but wasn't shown until now.
That thing looks like it would make an immensely more capable TIE Bomber than the TIE Bomber.
Yeah, like swap out the cargo/troop compartment for an internal weapons bay.
especially with the shields. bombers are pretty hot targets.
clearly not as good as the tie tanks though lol
With its cargo hold, it could drop the Star Wars equivalent of Daisycutters in the same way modern cargo airplanes drop these oversized munitions
the TIE Bomber is a pretty good bomber, though
By far one of the best looking ships in the whole franchise.
It's interesting that most of the new ship designs come from Rogue one, I'm not picking on the sequels but they barely had new ship designs :(

Both lovely ships but the u-wing has those side guns too.

I imagine its just modular to a decent degree, so you have some EW and fighter support stuff for one mission, maybe extended tanks and extra sensors for a scout mission etc.
Kind of similar to the Russian Hind helicopter in that regards, a gunship, troop transport with scouting and electronic warfair suites.
@@frag2k12 A lot of nations' military helicopters that are not purpose built attack craft (like the Cobra or Apache are) have that kind of flexibility. You put strong engines in a sturdy and roomy fuselage, and you can do anything from deliver troops and supplies to sub hunting and even be an ambulance, or a second-tier gunship or EWO/comms platform. They can even be kitted out with comfortable seating for ferrying general grade officers and VIPs.
We have cargo planes that serve as the platform for multiple mission types. The C-130, for example, can be seen as cargo hauler, firefighting bomber, hurricane hunter, electronic support, refueling tanker, and a gunship.
@@BogeyTheBear Dang it! How did I forget that one?! I have temporarily suspended my "dude card".
I like the overall shape of the Reaper, but it's size relative to other craft seems a bit out of place. It would seem a bit more appropriate at about 80% of its current scale
