I had to destroy this AWFUL Star Wars take

You got better eyes than me, I missed those shots at Endor and Scariff. I figured the Mon Cal cruisers were meant to operate like aircraft carriers due to the implied superiority of Rebel fighters. Definitely one of my favourite little moments was at Endor when the rebels figured out it was a trap but before the iconic "It's a trap!" line. I love the clip of the ships all veering off from the unseen shield and turning away, followed by the shot from inside the bridge of home one where the Imperial fleet comes into view like it had just completed the jump in. I always figured the meme overtook the scene, but the sudden break of coordination among the rebel ships as they all brake and turn only to see the Imperials flanking them, it felt Thrawn-esque.

I don't understand why people don't get that there were technical limitations to those movies. We're spoiled nowadays with the technology we have and it has been detrimental in some ways. Just because we can't always see something, doesn't mean it isn't there or it isn't happening.

This channel is slowly turning into a "roast my spaceship" channel and I am here for it. 🤣🤣🤣

Hopefully you all realize that this is in good fun. Thanks GIgas for all your passion and sense of humor!

My favorite underrated moment in a space battle is from Revenge of the Sith: during the Battle of Coruscant, we see a Venator destroy a Munificent-class frigate with only one shot, using a miniaturized Death Star-like superlaser. When I first saw this, I thought it was foreshadowing about how a weapon of this type would eventually be upscaled enough to obliterate whole planets. But according to sourcebooks, the "superlaser" is literally just an SPHA-T's main cannon mounted in the bottom hanger of the Venator. It's almost like a Xyston-class star destroyer, but much more sensible and realistic.

Kinda wild how the cross section of Home One at 5:13 shows a straight up public park in the middle of the ship complete with a lake.

0:45 They do have weapons, the fact that they operate more like carriers gives them a REASON to not rush headlong into a brawl with an Imperial II. Just because something isn't firing its weapons doesn't mean it hasn't been equipped with any. Besides, the Rebel Alliance's values the ability to strike fast and leave faster over staying and slugging it out given the nature of the what sort of military the Alliance is, it makes sense that the largest ships they have, while able TO take on other capital ships, would stay farther back and operate as carriers as opposed to battleships. Consider how many ships and crewmembers those things have and how MASSIVE a blow losing them would be when you're a force that's only got a few secret shipyards and is a REBELLION, every ship the Rebels lose is a massive blow when it's something the size of a MC80.

Makes sense. External guns have a higher chance of being damaged and rendered unusable. Having guns in the interior and protected by a shield would insure that some guns remain operational.

why do research when you can annoy a youtuber into doing it for you? honestly galaxy brain

You know, one thing in the battle of Endor I've never seen brought up, is when the TIE Fighters charge in formation as you see in 1:10 , some of the TIEs just fucking spawn in out of thin air in the background, it's something that I can never not notice every time I watch it

Always knew there was something fishy about those cruisers

3:29 had me dying, the delivery along with the fact that I never actually realized that it was seriously broadsiding the executor made it perfect.

0:14 This man has his own Clone or Droid Army with how often he's posted.

That ISD going down that easily at 0:25 got me dead already.

My favorite underrated scene in a SW space battle huh...? Well there's two that immediately come to mind for that: During the battle of Atollon, right after Sato sacrifices himself and the Phoenix Nest to give Ezra a chance to escape, when we see the Rebel fleet turning around to retreat to the surface, I really like that shot of the Rebel ships just swinging around during that maneuver, it looked awesome. The second scene that comes to mind is in ROTJ when Wedge calls all wings to lock S-foils in attack position and we see the B-wings opening up their wings and then hear those sexy B-wing's flying by, the sound of a B-wing's engines is like music to my ears.

I think an Underrated part in a Space Battle Was During the Seige of the Malevolence, when Anakin And his Squad Were about to Bomb the Bridge, Anakin Had to Choose Between Ending the War or Saving the Clone. and Anakin Chose the Boys

One of my favorite little scenes in star wars was actually from the Clone Wars movie (I know, not too much was good from that one, but hear me out). I love the moment when the gunships are getting ready to land on Teth. The blastdoors close, you see the battle lighting go off, and all the troopers making their final arrangements (one trooper informs another that his comm has static and he scrambles to fix it). The scene showed me a glimpse to what would happen behind the scenes as the clones were on one of those gunships, which amplifies the sadness and meaning when you see a gunship get shot down.

It makes sense for mon cal ships to be covered with blisters for weapons. They were not built as warships, weapons were added after the fact and most likely more fragile than the weapons on a isd that were built in place and designed for combat. You'd want to armor them since you're basically welding weapons onto the outer hull where they shouldn't have been.

It is kind of ridiculous to think that the main rebel capital ships not to have guns

Underrated moment 1: At one point Wedge closing his S-foils inside the second Death Star. Underrated moment 2: Ships entering the second Death Star - it's an impressive maneuver.
