Planning to eventually do a giant compilation of every Y-Wing scene I can find, so drop a comment if I missed any scenes from Clone Wars so I know to go find the footage for that scene. Thanks!
I'll have to go rewatch that episode then, but now that I think of it some Y-Wings did show up to provide close air support at one point. I've also found I missed a couple bits from the Malevolence attack, and fixed an issue I had with that last few scenes here not showing up in optimal video quality.
Ah the good old y wings. My favorite ship in the star wars universe. Only thing i hate is how the video games, movies, and shows contradict each other... in the video games they are slow, heavily armored and have good shields, and true to it you can take so much damage and be perfectly fine. But in the shows and movies they are as fast as the fighters and get taken down with like one or two hits... make up your mind star wars.... :/
Everything in Star Wars is Plot Driven. Ships are as fast as the Plot needs them to be. They are as tough (or weak) as the Plot needs them to be. They can do whatever the Plot needs them to do to advance to the next scene, the next episode. Holdo Maneuver? Sure, why not. Hyperspace Skipping? Sounds great! Just like the Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon Saturday Matinee Serials of the 30's/40's/50's. Kill the Bad Guy and thwart his Evil Super-Weapon? Don't worry, he'll be back (the Studio owns the Actor's contract and WILL re-use him!) next week somehow, and his Evil Super Weapon is now TWICE as big and powerful as the old one The Heroes destroyed last episode.
Especially considering R2 also flew with Luke, who Vader also had a hard time dealing with. There was a small battle that happened in Canon after Episode 4, where Vader took on and destroyed Squadrons of Rebels. Only for Luke to fly in and ram his ship into Vader's, causing both of them to crash down to the planet. Just goes to show Anakin, R2, and Luke are some crazy skilled pilots.
Like how the BTL-B and A4 are canonically the same ship/model because it’s cool that the Rebels salvaged Clone Wars ships like the Y-wing and stripping the paneling off and heavily modifying the Y-wing to become a part of the Rebellion.
I actually missed that in the show, but later I got this Star Wars paper airplane book and something looked off about the Y-wing in that book. I went back to the show and saw that low and behold, Anakin’ was different.
Inverse plot armor, designed to make something easier to kill than it should be... kind of like how every generic pilot in Star Wars Rebels seems to get blown up instantly
Christian Torres dude, Y-wings are a huge threat to large ships due to their high proton + ion torpedo and proton bomb capacity. They are high-priority targets for the Empire.
And Anakin flies one and ends up shooting down Gold Squadron. Maybe having flown a variant before let him track them better, get the drop on them easier.
The Y-Wing is actually based off the likes of the Ju-87, The Ju-88, the Gloster Mosquito and many similar WWII-era "Dogfighting" bombers... So it's really not surprising to hear a Ju-87 "Jericho Trumpet" as a Sfx.
I always had a problem when they show Y-wing squadrons going out on their own. Sure the Y-wing is tough and has a lot of firepower but it isn't a good dogfighter, so generally they pair them up with assualt or interceptor fighters to keep enemy fighters off them while the Y-wings pound their targets (capital ships, facilities, etc). Sending them without some sort of escort fighters means they'll take extra casualties when they have to dogfight and will have fewer torpedoes to use against their target.
If you want to see what is the correct equivalent to a B-17 in the Star wars universe it's the resistance bomber due to its large Bomb Bay carrying many proton bombs. Y-wing the SBD Dauntless🇺🇲 Ju-87C StgTgr186🇩🇪 of the Star Wars universe
Dan Conti Y-wings required heavy mainenance post-battle. Rebel engineers got tired of constantly taking off the plates that they eventually left them off for good. Nevertheless, the Rebel Y-wing was still a sturdy bomber.
Y - Wings are awesome and all, but for agresive fighter - bomber tactics, the ARC-170 would've been a better choice just based on how well rounded it was against fighters and capital ships
I don't understand this fanaticism over Arc 170, Y wing is a much better Assault Fighter, that's exactly why the rebels used them so much and not Arc-170.
ARC-170 is an adaptation of the P-61. It is a long-range heavy fighter with some small bombing capability. It excels in shooting down bombers and using its sensor suite for reconnaissance (since night fighting isn't a thing in space). The Y-wing is a more specialized tactical bomber. It fills a role similar to the TBF Avenger.

so how does it feel watching some of your predecessors fight in the clone wars
You have a few scenes replayed a few times, is that intentional ?
And also you forgot about the y-wings in the geonosis battle episode.

There are some episodes of Rebels that they appear in
Ashoka Tano - "Doesn't anyone care what the Padawan thinks" Shadow II - "Nope", what a cheeky edit! XD
This nope is an engineers quote from tf2
Of course...a Clone Flying a Y-wing has to quote Gold Leader before he dies.
It’s just a harmless reference
When?

Yes I have a lego one and whenever I play with it I can't make my mind
Well Star Wars starfighter shields have never been that good

I always took it as fighters going slower than they can so that their bombers don't fall behind. When they want to, they tend to catch up to bombers.
5:21 that's when I realised r2 always pilots for anakin and that's why he's considered the best pilot in the galaxy
Not when he became Vader. Even then he was considered one of the top pilots in the galaxy, astromech or not.
Ah but he learned from the best. Proves my point.
Especially considering R2 also flew with Luke, who Vader also had a hard time dealing with.

like if you noticed Anakin's Y-Wing has a reversed paint job
I actually missed that in the show, but later I got this Star Wars paper airplane book and something looked off about the Y-wing in that book. I went back to the show and saw that low and behold, Anakin’ was different.
I only noticed because of the lego set
Bro you’re messing with my head, I have a model y wing with the body painted like anakins y wing but the nacelles are painted like a clone y wing
For a bomber suppose to have heavy-shields it gets shot down really quick
Inverse plot armor, designed to make something easier to kill than it should be... kind of like how every generic pilot in Star Wars Rebels seems to get blown up instantly
BTL Y-Wing rip countless a-wing pilots in rebels
So many A-Wing pilots...
Barrobroadcastmaster why can't we have plot armor like the ghost?
Christian Torres dude, Y-wings are a huge threat to large ships due to their high proton + ion torpedo and proton bomb capacity. They are high-priority targets for the Empire.
good old y-wings, too bad they got shot down a lot, to be expected tho, kinda a importan thing not to let get thur
Inverse plot armor, he said. It actually makes a lot of sense.
Love that it’s canonically confirmed the Rebel Y-wings to be the same exact Y-wings that were used in The Clone Wars series.
anybody else like how the republic y wing looks more than how they look when used by the rebels or is it just me?
Michael McGrath rude
Jirachi dude leave him he is a prequel hater i seen him many times
R4P17 wait who?
when the rebels used them they didnt have the resources to make them have the full body
@@user-lj1rs9pn4g aren’t you supposed to be asleep it hasn’t been ten thousand years yet

Barrobroadcastmaster if they had the bubble turrent variant gold squadron would probably still be alive
@@christiantorres9713 Aye.
God I love the smell of proton torpedos in the morning
6:43 Chopper was in one of those Y-Wings before it crashed
Which one the first one
R4P17 Chopper wasn’t invented yet, so despite the fact that Chopper WAS canonically there, he wasn’t physically.
Good eye
@@t65bx25 Technically he was
@ultrabrian8151 I’m being Doylist. Filoni hadn’t conceived of any of the Ghost crew yet.
6:07 Y-wing with a Stuka siren?
Huh.
It does make you wonder how many people hearing that sound realize it came off a JU-87 and isn't the sound only made by aircraft crashing in cartoons
Yep
I like the idea of the Y-Wing making a siren when it dives. I recall hearing it in one episode when Y-wings dive bomb Geonosian artillery as well
The Y-Wing is actually based off the likes of the Ju-87, The Ju-88, the Gloster Mosquito and many similar WWII-era "Dogfighting" bombers...
So it's really not surprising to hear a Ju-87 "Jericho Trumpet" as a Sfx.
R2 is a Mad Droid with Mad Skills

OBI-WAN KENOBI AND THE FIGHTERS cockpitGJEDI:
I have never watched 2008 Clone Wars before but I like those ships😍🤩
When R2 was flying, and dogfighting the vulture Droid, I was like, "Droid on Droid violence. Oh the inhumanity!" 😜
5:58 Did it just say "Wowzers"???
2:44 Didnt gold leader also say that line in A new hope?
i was looking to see if anyone noticed
*S T A Y O N T A R G E T*
This just part of the easter egg.guess what happened for both of them
My Favorite Republic Starfighter.
AFTER LOVE EXPLOSION.
Honetly i Love Y-wing and U-wing
Tfw r2 can fly a y wing better then some clones smh
So you're gonna tell me this video didn't include the Glorius " Landing At Point Rain " Bombing run???
Unfortunately for you history will not have it that way
@@ftferlo8868 fR
@@fushimi4208 what?
The y wings are the b 17s of star wars
What? No they’re the Ju-87 Stukas of Star Wars. They even have the Jericho Trumpet in some scenes like Stukas in real life.
I always thought they were loosely based on the P-38

You missed the clip from Darkness on Umbara where the Y-wings bomb the ridge.
Ha love that cheeky nope edit
I didnt know that the clone wars troopers were also engineers
0:55 not sure if youre a TF2 fan :P
clayvision what did you expect they built sentries on top of their Y-Wings so they can shoot back while they shoot back
thx for the video
It’s sad that they don’t have escort fighters with them :(
When that clone says nope it sounds like DARTH VADER
SQUADRON/ESCADRILLE, WE ARE NEGATIVE ON THIS ONE .😊
I was kinda hoping for the CAS scenes from Geonosis and Umbara...
Funny how the previous version of the Y-Wing is more armored than its successor

Are the pilots and the gunners both clone pilots?

They should have used the ORIGINAL Y-wing in this series, after all the A model comes before the B.
@ultrabrian8151 Relearn your alphabet son. It is A then B.
@ultrabrian8151 No, they aren't. And I call you son because you are a child, I have been at this ALOT longer than you.
Dude, they used the ORIGINAL Y-wing in the Clone Wars before they were stripped-down and heavily modified.
