Return of the Jedi novelization, nerds ;)
-
Battle of Endor was a masterpiece. Not to mention, it's soundtrack (called "Into The Trap" for anyone wondering) is equally awesome, and goes with just about any suspenseful movie scene you can find
-
My favorite detail is that Wedge closed his S-Foils during the narrow part of the Death Star run into the core. Just before the Falcon lost it's Dish, you can see Wedge's X-Wing close it's S-foils when flying through the same narrow gap. A very fine attention to detail scene, something they could of easily ignored and viewers would of likely never noticed, but the fact it's there, for only like 2 seconds is gold.
-
There are numerous imperial defectors in Canon and Legends who would likely be in the cockpit of a rebel starfighter. In the original N64 Rogue Squadron video game Kasan Moor was a female pilot of the Elite 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron who defected shortly after being captured. According to her Wookiepedia article, however, she was pretty much only created for that game; it isn't much of a stretch to believe that there were others like her though.
-
As for the second detail: At knife fighting range against the trench of the Executor might actually be the safest spot for a bunch of Rebel ships during that battle. They’d be so close that most of the Executor’s guns couldn’t fire on the ships, and any other Imperial ships risk hitting the Executor if they fired on the Rebel cruisers. If you can survive the initial hail of turbolaser fire as you approach, you can stick like flies to the massive ship and just pummel away at it in relative safety.
-
“Attack the Executor” “Sir we are a medical frigate” “We got guns don’t we?”
-
My favorite detail is in the background when Ackbar says they need to give the fighters more time. There is a Mon Cal cruiser and ISD in the space right above Ackbar's eye and above the Executor. If you look closely, there is a split second moment where you can see the two firing at each other, then the ISD explodes. Its the only moment in the original movies where you can clearly see two capital ships engaging each other to the best of my knowledge.
-
There are many shield effects present, also. The ISD and the Mon Calamari cruisers (the MC80s), counter turbolaser fire with 'blueish explosions'. There is what looks like to be energy missiles or torpedos, in the background, within some shots. Perhaps concussion missiles. The Battle of Endor is great. My favourite space battle.

2:22 plus with that scene in motion the CR90 either grows or shrinks without actually getting closer to the camera.
-
this is the content youtube needs
-
That Nebula probably just got as close as it could to the SSD to not get shot at by the other SD's around it.
-
Hats off to the captain and crew with stones large enough to bring a Nebulon into point-blank range of the Executor to trade blows. There must have been many such sacrifices before the Executor was weak enough to be finished off.
-
Shocked and disappointed that no EU author has explained that weird scaling with a Nebulon Dreadnought
-
The weird scaling issues made me pick up a book about model making (albeit for wargamming miniatures) and blueprinting as a kid. Now I spend hours every semester explaining it to college students. It remains an issue.
-
I always like the idea of the Tector, and it fits in well with the Imperial mindset of creating warships for outgunning the more heavily armed (in relation to the republic) Confederate ships in slugging matches rather than starfighter support like the old Venators. And it does have less weak points for precision starfighter strikes to exploit.
-
the way I read it, the engines were intermittent and they were already having control problems. The loss of the primary bridge combined with other damage prevented the secondary bridge from gaining control of the remaining engines, which had gone to full throttle all of a sudden, before disaster.
-
"Right the ship" "Wadda mean right the ship?" "We're upside down stupid!!"
-
I would love a video going into all the scale shenanigans of the Original Trilogy and then, to explain to people that perhaps don't take that scale nerd stuff to seriously, what general rules do fans and sources tend to settle on as the "correct" scale. I mean, these are the films themselves, they should have the final say on scale, but where does the final say end up? Differences of a few meters shouldn't matter overmuch, but, like the CR90, that was a hilarious extreme.
-
0:29 Did you also notice that one regular Star Destroyer that EXPLODED as Ackbar commanded every Rebel ship to "CONCENTRATE ALL FIRE ON THE SUPER STAR DESTROYER"? Aside from Rogue One, I don't see any Imperial Star Destroyer get completely blown up like that in The Original Trilogy.
-
Another detail I love is that you can see a Y-Wing take out multiple Interceptors in a dogfight. I’ve always hated the misconception that Y-Wings were useless in dogfights. In fact, in the lore that should be said about the B-Wing everyone worships, not the Y-Wing
