In Ep 9, the First Order will make Super Star Killer base, that's built out of a gas giant. And their flagship will be the new UltraMega Star Destroyer that's over 1 million miles long
I love how the new A-Wing looks like a hybrid of the Rebel Alliance A-Wing and a Jedi Interceptor. A lot of the new ships and vehicles are using this template: Hybrids of OT and PT designs and I think that's awesome.
TheGameOnGuys it’s lazy and boring And name any other ship on this that looks like a combo of OT and PT designs, cuz you said a lot of them but I don’t think you actually put any time into your comment when you posted it...
Probably the coolest thing for me is the use of legs on the Heavy Hauler (and I presume based on the Lego set, the unseen Heavy Scout). They really function more like wheels and are far more stable, but still carry the tradition of legs on vehicles.
I was disappointed by some of the stuff in the movie (like a fanboy that I am). I took my time to vent. Now I'm at a point where I want to focus on all the positives. Channels like this really help with that. Keep up the good work!
Imo, Raddus death has more meaning then Ackbar final moment, its so sad for a war hero of both clone wars and galactic civil war having offscreen death just like that in TLJ. edited: wait a sec, both also died offscreen lol
Actually we DO see Ackbar die in TLJ. (He can be seen being engulfed by fire behind Leia.) Doesn't change that they could have put some more work in it. I would have been very happy to see Ackbar do the hyperspeed ram.
I'm surprised that the First Order didn't bring any Dreadnaughts with them to pursue the resistance. The Resistance only knew about them a few hours before the evacuation so they haven't destroyed any before the evac to suggest that the one they took down was the last.
Apparently, a first order bomber was planned at some point, since they showed up in the concept art. Makingstarwars.com saw artwork of a first order ship that appeared to be a bomber alongside Kylo Ren's ship (which the article described very accurately.)
I was hoping the First Order would be using newer TIE models like the Hunter and Avenger (Standard to the Silencer), to show progression of technology and lessons learned, but it would seem that still isn't the case. The movies are 0-2 when it comes to any assortment of new Starfighters and no the TIE Silencer and Awing II do not count, the former is a personal ship, the latter is an upgrade. Lol not only did they not have ant new Starfighters but they actually *took away* models. Could have given Ren two upgraded TIE bombers in escort with 2 TIE/SFs on his attack on the Raddus, would've been the perfect time.
Remember when hux called back Ren to the fleet after the bombing run on the raddus? Both of his wingmen were shot down. Couldn’t have been x-wings of a-wings they already been destroyed from the bombing run.
I was excited to see the news that A-Wings were coming back into Star Wars as they are my favorite space ship, but upon watching the film, the lack of action on their part was disappointing. I hope they return in Episode IX AND we FINALLY get to see a version of the B-Wing IN COMBAT on the big screen.
Umm...To be fair, The Raddus was fast for it's size, and had one of the best SHIELDING in the Star Wars Universe, which is able to withstand Supremacy's barrage. It maybe undergunned but it's generally a good ship IMO.
Sabian Wisanggeni it has a retarded name though. Sounds like a 14 year old came up with it. Besides since when have the vehicles been named after the specific type of weaponry it uses? It’s always been that they are named after their purpose, usage, or role: AT-AT = All Terrain Armored Transport AT-ST = All Terrain Scout Transport AT-TE = All Terrain Tactical Enforcer AT-RT = All Terrain Recon Transport UT-AT = Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport Etc. But now instead it sounds like the sixth entry in a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game... GET READY FOR MEGACALIBER 6 MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Obi-Wan Kenobi - quite nice-looking though I know the sequel trilogy is meant to be this nostalgiafest thing, but I do wish they would be a bit more adventurous in vehicle design, especially since they've proven to me they are capable of great and unique designs like the U-wing.
They're also improved versions of older vehicles. Disney decided to redesign all the older ships to be bigger and better, but I personally would've preferred they just left it at better. If you keep making things bigger than before, you quickly reach a point where things become "too big to be believable."
Suomas I thought about that after I posted, but without confirmation of somethings destruction I don't think was is the proper tense. So by saying "was" I think you are still confirming destruction.
You don't get to call your massive, over-sized bombers the 'star fortress' when it explodes the moment someone explodes JUST OFF THE SIDE OF YOU. And btw, by having this massive, bloated bomber drop the bombs directly downwards you guarantee that you will have MASSIVE losses because you have to be right on top of the enemy ship, instead of sending a volley of propelled bombs towards the target from smaller, more nimble bombers like the TIE Bomber or the old work-horse of the Republic and rebellion, the Y-Wing bomber.
I'm kinda disappointed that many of these vehicles are just "bigger and better" than the old ones without proving many unique elements other than some tossed here and there
KenKarma to be fair it would be harder to make new technology instead of upgrading existing tech, plus if it works the best thing to do is fix weaknesses
Better than Legends, where they kept on using the same old stuff, with the exception of some that literally WERE just bigger. And while Legends did have a bunch of new letter-winged starfighters, even those feel kinda lazy, like they were designed using pieces of other OT fighters.
I mean the New Republic didn't allow any new advance weapons after the defeat of the Empire so the only had to work on smaller scale weaponry and current models and just improve its design, the First Order were off the Unknown Region and they had to scrounge up tech the Empire had left old projects and prototypes and improve there design, the resistance weren't even allowed to use the current era of weaponry of what the New Republic had so they had to use old tech like for example the T-70 X-wing that Starfighter was a older fighter since the New Republic and that current state before they were wiped out had T-85 X-wings so the resistance only weaponry were old and decommission ships and weapons
Of course most of the "new" vehicles are BIGGER, BETTER & MORE POWERFUL in order for them to be a bigger threat then before... not to mention that most of them are slightly upgraded rehashes because "creativity".
The Scoundrel's Cantina ya know, I HATE automobile industry. For a hundred years they’ve just practically rehashed the car year after year. And what about the toaster industry? I mean they’re all the same slightly upgraded. GEEZ
I basically did a video about people like you that make up excuses using real life stuff to justify the sequel trilogy's unoriginality. How do you then explain the huge differences between the prequel designs and original trilogy ones? This video is for you ua-cam.com/video/ULZfQ39F5sI/v-deo.html
I like the bombers and I love that opening scene, but the bombers are so slow and poorly defended that I don’t see their usefulness, especially when you have so few fighters.
Mon calamari ships are too powerful and I mean too powerful. Those ships are the only reason why the rebels and resistance wins battles or survives one.
Krongfah Mahankalarp Problem with that is that they would go down, feel the bomber much closer to them, and go up latching on to the bomber. And to another comment saying it was a gravitic generator or something, why not turn it vertically, and launch the bombs out of range of the cannons?
Dreadnought Al Once the bombs got out of the ship there would be no gravity so they wouldn’t fall unless magnetically guided or rocketed to the target. Did you attend middle school
Caav Would've been a meat grinder though. Due to the number of fighter deployed by the Dreadnaught. Not to mention the Bombers had a bigger payload that could destroy the ship in one run.
A Somewhat Decent Person terrible excuses. 1) Would not have been more of a meat grinder than the battle was with those stupid impractical heavy bombers. 2) those stupid things were so slow that saying they could destroy a ship in one bombing run is meaningless because they’d be blown up way before they could even get close to their target. The only reason they made it in the film is because of a little thing called P L O T A R M O R
Charter for Deviancy But Y-Wings would've never made it past one run. Their bombs are inefficient enough to properly destroy the Dreadnaught before it could target the Raddus. The X-Wing escort were already having a hard enough time keeping the Bombers safe due to how much TIE fighters there were. Plus, the ships got destroyed in the end and only one managed to drop its payload before getting destroyed. I don't think you even know what Plot Armor even means.
It always bothers me that everything in the new trilogy era is just iterations on original trilogy stuff (with a few exceptions). More innovation was seen in the 3 or so years of the Clone Wars and then the early days of the Empire than the 30 year gap between the original trilogy and the new trilogy.
Well, it makes sense since the FO was built off the the reminence of the Empire. And the Resistance just scrapped together whatever they could. With the New Republic, much of that was just upgrades to the ships that won them the war against the Empire. Even the prequels ended showing ships that were clearly predecessors to things we saw in the OT. And you should look at our military vehicles in real life. Gen 6 planes just look like more advanced updates to Gen 5 planes.
Military advancements aren't always physically obvious. For instance, the F-22 and F-35 look like a sleeker F-15 and F-18. Most of the advanced tech is all under the hood.
I'll add that the ship stolen from Canto Bight, the Libertine (and the police speeders for that matter) are pretty unlike anything in the PT or OT. They look like something out of the comics, which is cool
Joey Kevorkian Everything about them is a reference to it. The interior design, the crew design, the name B/SF-17. Heck, even the gun turrets are armed with EM-1919 blasters, a homage to the M1919 MG!
Sangheili Warrior that’s a random assumption. Fact: I just like good stories, EU or not, so long as it’s GOOD. Unfortunately, the sequel trilogy is fanficfion hot garbage
Sangheili Warrior what are you even talking about, by the way? This has nothing to do with change, that bomber is literally just a retarded idea. It’s slow, it’s unshielded, its hull is weak, it has the most impractical method of bombing, and there’s no reason that ship would exist in the SW universe other than in the very early stages of space-faring societies - something TLJ takes place far from...
I really like the new Resistance bombers. It's no secret that Star Wars fighters are based on WWII era planes, but up until now all the bomber craft we've seen have been more a kin to dive bombers (fast, single pilot craft that can just at most a couple bombs per run). It's cool to see a Star Wars ship that more like an actual bomber (slow, tough, multi-man ships that can drop a huge amount of ordnance in one run).
The AT-HS was confirmed to exist by the visual dictionary, but we currently have no images of it. The closest we have is the lego toy, which makes it appear to be a smaller version of the walkers that were dragging the siege cannon.
Maybe they couldnt find an appropriate role for it in the film? (dont worry spoiler free) but as we know alot of lego kits never apprea in the films so maybe thats the case?
I don't know, while it's role is somewhat similar to the executor, design wise I think the supremacy is quite unique while maintaining obvious lineage to previous star Destroyers.
Ruby Rose Good question. Maybe, uhm, because a heavy cube on top of four really long legs is... uhm... you know... not the smartest design, I think... ;)
Grand Inquisitor Sug The Dark Clone of Gus do you’re ok with a semi-rehash, as if that’s better? Too late, it’s already a rehash with a few stupid twists.
Looks like Resistance Bombers are basically this universe's B-17: it's a lot cooler in concept than in practice since for all its firepower, it's a sitting duck.
Paul C yeah that's true, but they knew they were gonna have to fight star destroyers so I personally don't see why they didn't give the raddus atleast as much firepower as an imperial 2 class SD
I had no idea how big The Supremacy was. That blows me away. Also favourite ship had to be the Star Fortress bomber. Reminds me so much of the B-17 Flying Fortress.
The "lore" explain can be that at least fighters were able to operate inside the ship shield bubble. But, in more realistic explanation it was just a "movie thing".
The shields in SW operate in different ways depending of movie or book or game. There can be shield close to the hull or the bubble or it "have shield" but it look like there is no shield at all. This depend of what effect you want to get in the movie, dreadnought did not have any shield in the movie. In lore it do have a strong shield but in the movie, nope.
They just follow the role in script. "Fulminatrix" had 6 powerful deflector shields generator, it probably was shielded enough to survive counter battery fire from ground to orbit defense systems. It was heavy armed and protected siege platform. That's the lore. Now, in movie you see Poe "race" to the Fulminatrix, destroying it's CIWS turrets, then bombers that slowly approach the ship and then fly above it like nothing. They did that because movie script said they will do this, "Fulminatrix" was just a spectacular victim to die in the opening. This is the role of "bad guy" in the movie, die in the stupid way against any logic. On the other hand, captain Canady of "Fulminatrix" was one of the most competent commander we saw in SW at all on the bad side. He instantly know what Poe was doing and why, he expected incoming bombers after what Poe did and did criticize Hux for not deploying fighter screen earlier. I must say that I instantly start to like him, finally a competent starship captain of bad side that don't look like arrogant and total moron. And then they kill him...
Doesn't TLJ kinda contradict TFA due to the fact that the last half of TFA consisted of Starkiller Base re-charging when they could've just sent a dreadnought ship to D'qar and destroyed them using their orbital cannons? Just wondering if there are any references as to why
Supremacy is definitely my fav, the thing can churn out Resurgents! I don't know why, but I actually really like the Vigil, maybe because it's long, and those little gas/liquid tanks :D
Really disappointed they haven't given the Resistance any new Wing ships. All the designs are so uninspired. I mean, the Resistance Transport is basically just a flying rectangle.
I would just like to state unequivocally that while many Nebulon-B frigates found themselves serving in Rebel fleets during the Galactic Civil War, it was originally designed for the Imperial Navy being primarily manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, which was controlled by the Empire at that time.
Megacaliber is a turbolaser? I was always thinking that it would be some high powered mass driver, something of a slugthrower's equivialant to turbolasers.
Why? Why should they be weaker? Like really, why? What's the point? The restatnce bombers was an utterly stupid idea - starting from the way they travel very close to each other (even WW2 bomber pilots knew this is a bad idea) and finishing the way they "drop" bombs. In space.
I’d like to know more about B.B. units, they just appeared and I haven’t seen much of any more on them, also the miniaturised Death Star canon in the last Jedi :D that was cool!
Second biggest ship in the First Order fleet. Gets taken out by like one X-wing and a pile of oversized thermal detonators. Did the First Order learn nothing from all the humiliating Imperial defeats to Rebel guerrilla tactics and starfighter squads?
I really liked the Sky Skimmers tbh, something about their absolute shittiness yet extreme resistance to ground impact is appealing to me. Also watching them kick up the dust on Crait just looked amazing
The only reason I like the tie silencer is that you can actually look up and out of the cockpit. That visibility increase represents an actual itteration of the Tie design.
Who says you can't weaponize lightspeed? In any case, in ANH Han says without precise calculations they could "fly right through a star..." and be killed. Seems to me you could intentionally calculate a lightspeed jump to go right through a ship and destroy it and yourself.
Can we talk about how while in the bomber Roses sister proceeds to fall down the bomb hatch and almost drops the activation device out the hatch even though there’s no gravity?
steven ala personally, I wish that when the bombs dropped out, they hit the hull, made an explosion, but just dented the thing. Then they would have lost all of those bombers for literally no gain. Would have been a better reason to sack Poe imo
5Picoseconds Death Star...weak spot...2nd Death Star...shield generator and a weak spot...starkiller base...weak spot...let’s put a huge gaping hole in this star destroyer! What’s the worst that could happen?
Alexander Wood - to me the supremacy is the only ship that make sense being so huge. Being a flying R&D lab/factory/Shipyard. Sure you can make thousands of star destroyers instead of the Death Star or executor. But the supremacy is the one that makes those thousands of star Destroyers! Haha
I think we should have seen a battle between the resistance fleet and smokes ships and other star destroyers, because it would be cool to see mom calamari’s amazing shielding up against the first orders amazing fire power
With that many people aboard the Supremacy and it's attendant Star Destroyers, the 'good guys' continue to rack up quite the body count. It'd be interesting if we could work out a running total of all the deaths the various factions have caused across all the films
I loved those new RZ-2 A-Wings. But I'm still waiting to see T-80 X-Wings (I'm hoping they use the Ralph McQuarrie/Joe Johnston X-Wing more closely, since the T-75 looks so similar). Also still waiting to see B-Wing MK II
In Ep 9, the First Order will make Super Star Killer base, that's built out of a gas giant. And their flagship will be the new UltraMega Star Destroyer that's over 1 million miles long
Don't forget about a Mandator MDCCLXXVI SuperMega Dreadnought with 50 death star superlasers under it.
I think the term is super duper star destroyer
Every Star Wars battle station ever.
This aged well 🙄
Just 1 mil star e
I love how the new A-Wing looks like a hybrid of the Rebel Alliance A-Wing and a Jedi Interceptor. A lot of the new ships and vehicles are using this template: Hybrids of OT and PT designs and I think that's awesome.
TheGameOnGuys it’s lazy and boring
And name any other ship on this that looks like a combo of OT and PT designs, cuz you said a lot of them but I don’t think you actually put any time into your comment when you posted it...
What about the ship that DJ, Finn, and Rose stole?
GamePlayer553 i also want to see this
GamePlayer553 looked sleek
he also missed the 1st star destroyer that got destroyed in the movie (can't remember the name, but it looked BA)
Charmle H tje dreadnought?
i think he means the supremacy
Probably the coolest thing for me is the use of legs on the Heavy Hauler (and I presume based on the Lego set, the unseen Heavy Scout). They really function more like wheels and are far more stable, but still carry the tradition of legs on vehicles.
Jon Taylor looks to be based on Theo Jensen’s strandbeests
I loved the *spoilers*
Scene it was amazing
I was disappointed by some of the stuff in the movie (like a fanboy that I am). I took my time to vent. Now I'm at a point where I want to focus on all the positives. Channels like this really help with that. Keep up the good work!
My feelings exactly, totally agree with ya
Focusing on the few positives when there are way more negatives is part of the problem
It's easier for some people to find fault. It's just the way they are. They always seem so unhappy. :(
Jari Vessonen Good for you! If only more people had your attitude.
Imo, Raddus death has more meaning then Ackbar final moment, its so sad for a war hero of both clone wars and galactic civil war having offscreen death just like that in TLJ.
edited: wait a sec, both also died offscreen lol
probably just a moncalamari thing
Bayofthe91st Than*.
Actually we DO see Ackbar die in TLJ. (He can be seen being engulfed by fire behind Leia.) Doesn't change that they could have put some more work in it. I would have been very happy to see Ackbar do the hyperspeed ram.
fan expectations literally defy reality
CptHer Disney isn’t gonna let Ackbar basically suicide bomb something.
I'm surprised that the First Order didn't bring any Dreadnaughts with them to pursue the resistance. The Resistance only knew about them a few hours before the evacuation so they haven't destroyed any before the evac to suggest that the one they took down was the last.
AffluentDishSoap
Based on the Mandator-IV
's destruction, I would guess they would want to keep the other ships away from the Resistance.
I was bummed out as there was no new first order bomber. The silencer doesn't count.
Well the y wings were old as they were around before the clone wars but the first order could have deployed tie bombers.
Apparently, a first order bomber was planned at some point, since they showed up in the concept art. Makingstarwars.com saw artwork of a first order ship that appeared to be a bomber alongside Kylo Ren's ship (which the article described very accurately.)
Resistans use several Y-wing (in Black squadrons served 2), but yes - they are "relics"
I was devastated when there were no B-wing MK.II on the screen
I was hoping the First Order would be using newer TIE models like the Hunter and Avenger (Standard to the Silencer), to show progression of technology and lessons learned, but it would seem that still isn't the case. The movies are 0-2 when it comes to any assortment of new Starfighters and no the TIE Silencer and Awing II do not count, the former is a personal ship, the latter is an upgrade.
Lol not only did they not have ant new Starfighters but they actually *took away* models. Could have given Ren two upgraded TIE bombers in escort with 2 TIE/SFs on his attack on the Raddus, would've been the perfect time.
This is a longshot but could you cover the new pilots? Like tallie lintra, cobalt, and crimson squadron
Why didn’t the raddus shoot back at the first order ships? I mean we’ve never seen the weapons of a mon calamari cruiser and rebel frigates
BipperCipher XD only reason I could think of is because they were diverting all power to rear shields and engines
Even Raddus just shoot the Resurgent , it still a waste of energy.
Raddus shot Kylos wingmen
All energy was diverted to the rear shields, it would be worse to have the engines destroyed rather than having a few fighters damaging the ship.
Remember when hux called back Ren to the fleet after the bombing run on the raddus? Both of his wingmen were shot down. Couldn’t have been x-wings of a-wings they already been destroyed from the bombing run.
I was excited to see the news that A-Wings were coming back into Star Wars as they are my favorite space ship, but upon watching the film, the lack of action on their part was disappointing. I hope they return in Episode IX AND we FINALLY get to see a version of the B-Wing IN COMBAT on the big screen.
I'm not sure if the A-wings are gonna return since both X-wing and A-wing squadrons looked like were destroyed by the TIE Silencer
You would love TROS
I'm happy Y-wings are bacc
Only 18 turbasers on a 3000 meter ship?
Well, they were heavy turbolasers.
Umm...To be fair, The Raddus was fast for it's size, and had one of the best SHIELDING in the Star Wars Universe, which is able to withstand Supremacy's barrage. It maybe undergunned but it's generally a good ship IMO.
surprised when the Death Star only have one "decent" weapon? xD
I like the AT M6
Sabian Wisanggeni it has a retarded name though. Sounds like a 14 year old came up with it.
Besides since when have the vehicles been named after the specific type of weaponry it uses? It’s always been that they are named after their purpose, usage, or role:
AT-AT = All Terrain Armored Transport
AT-ST = All Terrain Scout Transport
AT-TE = All Terrain Tactical Enforcer
AT-RT = All Terrain Recon Transport
UT-AT = Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport
Etc.
But now instead it sounds like the sixth entry in a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game...
GET READY FOR MEGACALIBER 6 MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Charter for Deviancy the foot cringes me im like BREAK IT
Who cares about the name? I could call one "The Princess Pounder" and it would work the same as something called "The Valiant"...
Captain Language ..... I hope you’re joking but unfortunately I know you’re not lol...
Snoke is really bad at naming things. He really likes the word Mega.
Most are just bigger versions of older vehicles
Obi-Wan Kenobi oh yes cuz technoogical innovation means increase in volume with BIGGER flaws
Obi-Wan Kenobi - quite nice-looking though
I know the sequel trilogy is meant to be this nostalgiafest thing, but I do wish they would be a bit more adventurous in vehicle design, especially since they've proven to me they are capable of great and unique designs like the U-wing.
Well, bigger the better they say. Though I agree that I wish their was some new designs than upgraded ones.
They're also improved versions of older vehicles.
Disney decided to redesign all the older ships to be bigger and better, but I personally would've preferred they just left it at better. If you keep making things bigger than before, you quickly reach a point where things become "too big to be believable."
Since bigger mean “high ground”
does anyone else wanna learn more about the ship that DJ stole with finn,rose,and BB-8 in the last jedi
The O Fam it's called the Libertine which belongs to a Manager of Sienar Jaemus Corp, which made profit selling surplus fighters to independent worlds
Random Stormtrooper thanks dude i was curious of what that was
It tells more in the visual dictionary
It will be nice but I don’t know I think they should in the future or now wondering about my idea
Random Stormtrooper Sienar Jaemus? I thought those folk only sell ships to the FO?
RIP Tallie.
We hardly knew her.
themetalstickman but she was hot
Wait, which one was she?
The pretty A-Wing pilot in the opening battle. She's the one who orders the fighters to protect the bombers in the attack on the dreadnought.
What about the battering ram cannon
Technically not a vehicle but i see your point.
Aidan Carlson hay me and you have same first name 👍
I'm guessing either spoilers or Disney hasnt released any info on it yet
The God Of Imagination no you dont
"Spoilers will be limited..." "...the Supremecy WAS the..."
Remember this is Star Wars, everything happened a long long time ago
Suomas I thought about that after I posted, but without confirmation of somethings destruction I don't think was is the proper tense. So by saying "was" I think you are still confirming destruction.
no
He spoke in past tense for pretty much all the vehicles
Why would you watch this if you haven’t seen the movie tho? anyone who watches these shows has seen the movie by now
You don't get to call your massive, over-sized bombers the 'star fortress' when it explodes the moment someone explodes JUST OFF THE SIDE OF YOU.
And btw, by having this massive, bloated bomber drop the bombs directly downwards you guarantee that you will have MASSIVE losses because you have to be right on top of the enemy ship, instead of sending a volley of propelled bombs towards the target from smaller, more nimble bombers like the TIE Bomber or the old work-horse of the Republic and rebellion, the Y-Wing bomber.
You discover that star wars has no scientific and strategic sense good but de all know this for years
I'm kinda disappointed that many of these vehicles are just "bigger and better" than the old ones without proving many unique elements other than some tossed here and there
KenKarma to be fair it would be harder to make new technology instead of upgrading existing tech, plus if it works the best thing to do is fix weaknesses

Gyarretto7 If you dont know what your talking about then just dont talk at all.
The Scoundrel's Cantina
He's right you know.
I mean the New Republic didn't allow any new advance weapons after the defeat of the Empire so the only had to work on smaller scale weaponry and current models and just improve its design, the First Order were off the Unknown Region and they had to scrounge up tech the Empire had left old projects and prototypes and improve there design, the resistance weren't even allowed to use the current era of weaponry of what the New Republic had so they had to use old tech like for example the T-70 X-wing that Starfighter was a older fighter since the New Republic and that current state before they were wiped out had T-85 X-wings so the resistance only weaponry were old and decommission ships and weapons

The Scoundrel's Cantina Dude we're trying to enjoy Star Wars can you please take your constant negativity elsewhere? You have no place here.
Hey now. At least the powers that be were creative enough to repaint the tie fighters
Come on man give the film a break. Just nick picking away why don’t ya? I like to see your “creativity” on new vehicles.
I like the bombers and I love that opening scene, but the bombers are so slow and poorly defended that I don’t see their usefulness, especially when you have so few fighters.
Mon calamari ships are too powerful and I mean too powerful. Those ships are the only reason why the rebels and resistance wins battles or survives one.
Ah, so the Resistance bomber deliver the bombs with electromagnetic?
That would explain why the bombs were falling in space.
Krongfah Mahankalarp - or just dropped due to the artificial gravity generated by the bomber.
Krongfah Mahankalarp it would be the same as firing warheads DOWNWARD
And the name explains why it's so reminiscent to the B-17 flying fortress
Krongfah Mahankalarp Problem with that is that they would go down, feel the bomber much closer to them, and go up latching on to the bomber. And to another comment saying it was a gravitic generator or something, why not turn it vertically, and launch the bombs out of range of the cannons?
Dreadnought Al
Once the bombs got out of the ship there would be no gravity so they wouldn’t fall unless magnetically guided or rocketed to the target.
Did you attend middle school
You to missed AT-HS and Siege Cannon
master13fox - does the Siege cannon really count as a vehicle?
No, since it had to be towed...
master13fox what's at hs? How do they look like?
What is the AT-HS🤔?
Kashmer Langston All Terrain Heavy Scout
I loved the new Resistance bombers but they got torn through like tissue paper in the movie.
reminds me of the B-17 bombers from WW2.
TryHardGaming HD should’ve stuck to using their original bombers, those were really fast, could’ve easily gotten all of them over the dreadnought
Caav
Would've been a meat grinder though. Due to the number of fighter deployed by the Dreadnaught. Not to mention the Bombers had a bigger payload that could destroy the ship in one run.

The Vigil looks like a MC-30c frigate with half of its armor ripped off
Artemis 'Stormrunner' Sader not really
The Tie Silencer will go down as my favorite ship. The thing looks badass
It always bothers me that everything in the new trilogy era is just iterations on original trilogy stuff (with a few exceptions). More innovation was seen in the 3 or so years of the Clone Wars and then the early days of the Empire than the 30 year gap between the original trilogy and the new trilogy.
30 years of peace. It make a difference. Beside, the Resistance use old tech, not the brand new fighters.
Well, it makes sense since the FO was built off the the reminence of the Empire. And the Resistance just scrapped together whatever they could. With the New Republic, much of that was just upgrades to the ships that won them the war against the Empire.
Even the prequels ended showing ships that were clearly predecessors to things we saw in the OT.
And you should look at our military vehicles in real life. Gen 6 planes just look like more advanced updates to Gen 5 planes.
When there are nearly 30 years of complete peace there just isn't a need for a lot of military advancements.
Military advancements aren't always physically obvious. For instance, the F-22 and F-35 look like a sleeker F-15 and F-18. Most of the advanced tech is all under the hood.
I'll add that the ship stolen from Canto Bight, the Libertine (and the police speeders for that matter) are pretty unlike anything in the PT or OT. They look like something out of the comics, which is cool
I’m a sucker for the TIE Silencer, but I like those Resistance Bombers as well.
Fun fact: the resistance bombers were based off B17s
Joey Kevorkian Everything about them is a reference to it. The interior design, the crew design, the name B/SF-17. Heck, even the gun turrets are armed with EM-1919 blasters, a homage to the M1919 MG!
Another fun fact: they are retarded in Star Wars and almost every other sci-fi setting imaginable
Sangheili Warrior that’s a random assumption. Fact: I just like good stories, EU or not, so long as it’s GOOD. Unfortunately, the sequel trilogy is fanficfion hot garbage
Sangheili Warrior what are you even talking about, by the way? This has nothing to do with change, that bomber is literally just a retarded idea. It’s slow, it’s unshielded, its hull is weak, it has the most impractical method of bombing, and there’s no reason that ship would exist in the SW universe other than in the very early stages of space-faring societies - something TLJ takes place far from...
Charter for Deviancy lmao the bombers got the job done even if they had heavy casualties. Just like B17s in real life.
I really like the new Resistance bombers. It's no secret that Star Wars fighters are based on WWII era planes, but up until now all the bomber craft we've seen have been more a kin to dive bombers (fast, single pilot craft that can just at most a couple bombs per run). It's cool to see a Star Wars ship that more like an actual bomber (slow, tough, multi-man ships that can drop a huge amount of ordnance in one run).
I play X-Wing. Such a lack luster roster of new ships...
Lock Jaw boo hoo
What about the AT-HS (All-Terrian Heavy-Scout)?
We didn't really see that in the film, as much as we saw it in Lego form lol
Maybe got cut in final edit. Just like their walker and speeder in TFA
It's a shame. It was pretty weird, but way more creative than the FO AT-ST
The AT-HS was confirmed to exist by the visual dictionary, but we currently have no images of it. The closest we have is the lego toy, which makes it appear to be a smaller version of the walkers that were dragging the siege cannon.
Maybe they couldnt find an appropriate role for it in the film? (dont worry spoiler free) but as we know alot of lego kits never apprea in the films so maybe thats the case?
Can someone write a list of Prequel easter eggs in Last Jedi, please.
Alexi GVS why don't you do it?
Luke talks about Darth Sidious.
zbrown02 Maybe because he doesn’t know them and wants others to tell him what he missed? Dumbass.
Samuronite Wars the end
There were two AT-AT's at the battle of krait
Do you think we will see the last Superstardestroyer that was stolen by the pirates? But I refuse to believe that we will never see them again.
Sounds like a solid anthology movie to me! ;p
Now that you say that.... thats sound facking cool. Like a movie about space pirates that have with a Superstardestroyer would be pretty awesome.
TheCactusKnights Do you mean the annihilator?
SpartanGerm 212 Yes but the Captian of the new Pirat Impire Eleodie Maracavanya renamed it into "Liberty's Misrule"
*EARRAPE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN THEME*
That's not a lot, even more so some of it is just a re-hash bigger upgraded versions ...
Croz Raven as long as it doesn't make the plot a full rehash. Plus the mon calamari cruisers look alike.
Croz Raven it makes sense though, why would the remnants of the empire invest in new technology instead of just upgrading
I don't know, while it's role is somewhat similar to the executor, design wise I think the supremacy is quite unique while maintaining obvious lineage to previous star Destroyers.
Ruby Rose
Good question. Maybe, uhm, because a heavy cube on top of four really long legs is... uhm... you know... not the smartest design, I think... ;)
Grand Inquisitor Sug The Dark Clone of Gus do you’re ok with a semi-rehash, as if that’s better? Too late, it’s already a rehash with a few stupid twists.
Looks like Resistance Bombers are basically this universe's B-17: it's a lot cooler in concept than in practice since for all its firepower, it's a sitting duck.
I think it's ridiculous how few weapons there was on the raddus
Random Canadian all the new tech in that ship was focused on engines and shielding
Paul C the thing still had barely more weapons than the nebulon c, which was less than a sixth the size
Random Canadian that is true. Although because of the raddus' advanced shields, the raddus would eat the nebulon c up lol
Paul C yeah that's true, but they knew they were gonna have to fight star destroyers so I personally don't see why they didn't give the raddus atleast as much firepower as an imperial 2 class SD
I’m pretty sure the Resistance doesn’t have the resources to man all the cannons.
Fell in love with the resistance bomber as soon as I saw them in the trailer. Shame that they all kinda blew up...
For your next video, answer why Palpatine couldn't use the force like Leia to fly out of the Death Star shaft?
Leia wasn't fighting gravity.
I had no idea how big The Supremacy was. That blows me away.
Also favourite ship had to be the Star Fortress bomber. Reminds me so much of the B-17 Flying Fortress.
What happened to the shields in this movie? Especially for the dreadnaught, it’s like they were nonexistent.
The "lore" explain can be that at least fighters were able to operate inside the ship shield bubble. But, in more realistic explanation it was just a "movie thing".
Galvars Yeah, but why not make the shields hug the hull like in every other movie?
The shields in SW operate in different ways depending of movie or book or game. There can be shield close to the hull or the bubble or it "have shield" but it look like there is no shield at all. This depend of what effect you want to get in the movie, dreadnought did not have any shield in the movie. In lore it do have a strong shield but in the movie, nope.
Galvars Well that just makes the First Order even dumber then the Empire...
They just follow the role in script. "Fulminatrix" had 6 powerful deflector shields generator, it probably was shielded enough to survive counter battery fire from ground to orbit defense systems. It was heavy armed and protected siege platform. That's the lore. Now, in movie you see Poe "race" to the Fulminatrix, destroying it's CIWS turrets, then bombers that slowly approach the ship and then fly above it like nothing. They did that because movie script said they will do this, "Fulminatrix" was just a spectacular victim to die in the opening. This is the role of "bad guy" in the movie, die in the stupid way against any logic.
On the other hand, captain Canady of "Fulminatrix" was one of the most competent commander we saw in SW at all on the bad side. He instantly know what Poe was doing and why, he expected incoming bombers after what Poe did and did criticize Hux for not deploying fighter screen earlier. I must say that I instantly start to like him, finally a competent starship captain of bad side that don't look like arrogant and total moron. And then they kill him...
Nice to see some classic vehicles like the AT-AT and AT-ST with new updates. Great video!
Doesn't TLJ kinda contradict TFA due to the fact that the last half of TFA consisted of Starkiller Base re-charging when they could've just sent a dreadnought ship to D'qar and destroyed them using their orbital cannons? Just wondering if there are any references as to why
RogueTwo why waste a Dreadnought when you can destroy an entire Star system with no possibility of survivors?
Richard Ched - That makes sense :D
ooooh, I had requested this one in the last video. So great! Thank you very much, the video is great.
I wonder what happened to the heavy scout walker, Lego made a set out of it so i assume it was cut
Mr Ghostsface maybe it makes an appearance in E9
Mr Ghostsface
It was mentioned in the Visual Guide but never showed.
Wondered that myself. Got it for my son for Christmas but of course not in movie. WTF Disney?
Mr Ghostsface wait weren't they pulling this weapon with desthstar tech on Crait?
TIE SILENCER and every First Order WALKER is pretty cool.
>implying the Ninka is not a terran battlecruiser-light from starcraft..
At least I know I'm not the only one to think that
Starfortress ... I wonder where they got the inspiration for that name from xD
heh yeah
Man I loved those bombers
from the ww2 bomber B-17. It was called flying fortress
Alessio Del Conte it’s from the B-29
The US actually had three "Fortresses", the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-29 Superfortress and the B-52 Stratofortress.
Really happy to see both sides got massive upgrades.
What about DJs stolen ship?
Notice how the Ninka looks like a blockade-runner with extra stuff added on. That’s pretty cool
Do you believe we will see the fall of Ben Solo in film or Book?
In books or comics, definitely. But not in a movie form.
I think it will be a comic
In comic form
Animated show between 6 and 7?
Supremacy is definitely my fav, the thing can churn out Resurgents!
I don't know why, but I actually really like the Vigil, maybe because it's long, and those little gas/liquid tanks :D
The mc90 would have more turbo lasers than the entire resistance fleet. These ships are pathetic in terms of firepower
I love the resistance bomber. And I see those references to the B-17 Flying fortress
I hope we will see the Supremacy again
Der Katalysator it was rapped by the raddus
Yeah it was destroyed.
It was put out of commission and will take years to repair so we might finally see the Eclipse in episode 9.
RAMMING SPEED
Me too. Hope it can still be repaird.
TIE Silencer is my favorite. I love ships that are balanced while looking bad ass too.
I wonder what happened to Home one. Last time I heard the Resistance had it as Leia's capital ship. I hope we see it in episode IX.
I guess it was decommissioned by the new republic
Intresting video, I personally think that the bunker buster is a corvette but buffed up and bigger
what about the ship that they escaped the casino world on?
Thanks for explaining how the bombs were dropped in zero g. Subscribed just for that. Keep up with the great videos.
Really disappointed they haven't given the Resistance any new Wing ships. All the designs are so uninspired. I mean, the Resistance Transport is basically just a flying rectangle.
The resistance transport has been mentioned as redesigned B-Wings
Ahh yeah I can see that now you mention it. Still it would have been cool to see an original Wing design.
Wet Water no they were made out of b wings
I mean star destroyers are flying triangles
I would just like to state unequivocally that while many Nebulon-B frigates found themselves serving in Rebel fleets during the Galactic Civil War, it was originally designed for the Imperial Navy being primarily manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards, which was controlled by the Empire at that time.
There's always a bigger ship
Megacaliber is a turbolaser? I was always thinking that it would be some high powered mass driver, something of a slugthrower's equivialant to turbolasers.
The whole first act of TLJ with the Resistance Bombers was Great!
LOL :D
I really like the look of Holdo's ship and the Canto Bight police speeders
I wish the resistance Fleet was bigger, and I wish the Raddus had better weapons.
The Raddus did have good weapons, it's just that if it used them in the movie it would weaken the aft shields and leave that area open to attack
World Wide Productions hello resistance? It doesn’t have a lot of ships, especially after being formed about 4 years before the new film begin
That police speeder's so cool. Same as the Bunker Buster
The bomber was a stupid idea. Slow, big, seemingly weak shields and hull.
Ted Schoenling oh my god is there anything you guys can't complain about?!
It's the Resistance, of course they should have weaker shields and armor!
Why? Why should they be weaker? Like really, why? What's the point?
The restatnce bombers was an utterly stupid idea - starting from the way they travel very close to each other (even WW2 bomber pilots knew this is a bad idea) and finishing the way they "drop" bombs. In space.
The other problem is that rebels will normaly use hit and run attacks. The slow bombers just don't fit in with those tactics.
Thanks for the input ted
GRZ NGT they just give a push to the bomb and they fly through space
I’d like to know more about B.B. units, they just appeared and I haven’t seen much of any more on them, also the miniaturised Death Star canon in the last Jedi :D that was cool!
Does the Dreadnought even have a shield 🤣
Second biggest ship in the First Order fleet. Gets taken out by like one X-wing and a pile of oversized thermal detonators. Did the First Order learn nothing from all the humiliating Imperial defeats to Rebel guerrilla tactics and starfighter squads?
Leon Blum the bombers have proton bombs which can pass through both ray and particle shields
Lucas A the bomber scene was ok but the scene where poe destroys all the turrets just doesn't make any sense.
Leon Blum - poe=op
CR12
*ahem* except those detonators-when combined-was more powerful than the Tsar-Bomb.
AT-AT: camel walker
AT-M6: gorilla walker
AT-ST: chicken walker
Walker vehicles have animal nicknames for them (like the chicken walker)
The first order has better Vehicle.
Gerardo Reyes the supremacy was ill equipt for Frontline duty. It served better as the mobile capital of the first order.
Gerardo Reyes the Supremacy also got destroyed, sorry, “severely damaged”, by a ship 20 times smaller than it. #TheFirstOrderSucks
The fact it still function while taking that in his face is still a proof of how good Imperial / First Order tech' is x')
Gérard Lacroix I mean it is so big that it's probably going to not be entirely depressurised if it's split into fragments like that.
Gerardo Reyes grammar please
I have to say the M6 walker is my favorite. There is something about the gorilla-like stance i really like
Not a huge fan of the new orders "edgey", teenagerish design. They look more like something outta the animated series.
Boomstick Gaming "Edgy teen" aesthetic you say? Makes you wonder if Kylo himself was in charge of their design lol
UnlimitedEdge i know it was a joke but it kinda feels that way
Temp John same funny as hell
The Mandator IV is definitely “edgy.” It’s so harshly geometric that it hurts.
I really liked the Sky Skimmers tbh, something about their absolute shittiness yet extreme resistance to ground impact is appealing to me. Also watching them kick up the dust on Crait just looked amazing
2.2 million... REALLY?!
serious KDR for Laura Dern there
That’s just ridiculous. The Death Star, which was three times the size, required less crew to operate.
Get your s**t together, First Order.
Activate Halo Well, the Supremacy is known as the First Order's HQ.
The only reason I like the tie silencer is that you can actually look up and out of the cockpit. That visibility increase represents an actual itteration of the Tie design.
SPOILER ALERT !
The Supremacy is destroyed by one kamikaze pilot
Kamikaze home one into the Death Star lol
You will need many BIG ships, X-wing will just turn into a pancake or bounce
Teemo4Life You know how the Executor was destroyed?
Who says you can't weaponize lightspeed? In any case, in ANH Han says without precise calculations they could "fly right through a star..." and be killed. Seems to me you could intentionally calculate a lightspeed jump to go right through a ship and destroy it and yourself.
1 kamikaze vice-admiral and a huge ass cruiser
Can we talk about how while in the bomber Roses sister proceeds to fall down the bomb hatch and almost drops the activation device out the hatch even though there’s no gravity?
The huge gaping hole/weak spot in the dreadnaught is so cheesy
steven ala personally, I wish that when the bombs dropped out, they hit the hull, made an explosion, but just dented the thing. Then they would have lost all of those bombers for literally no gain. Would have been a better reason to sack Poe imo
making ships as large as supremacy makes no sense to me.. even when i try to think with star wars logic.
5Picoseconds Death Star...weak spot...2nd Death Star...shield generator and a weak spot...starkiller base...weak spot...let’s put a huge gaping hole in this star destroyer! What’s the worst that could happen?
To be fair star Destroyers have always had their reactors exposed (the sphere protruding from the underside).
Alexander Wood - to me the supremacy is the only ship that make sense being so huge. Being a flying R&D lab/factory/Shipyard.
Sure you can make thousands of star destroyers instead of the Death Star or executor. But the supremacy is the one that makes those thousands of star Destroyers! Haha
My favorite is...
Mega Star Destroyer
Tie Silencer
RZ-2 A-Wing
SWIVEL HERE
Like if you get it
I think we should have seen a battle between the resistance fleet and smokes ships and other star destroyers, because it would be cool to see mom calamari’s amazing shielding up against the first orders amazing fire power
SPOILER! Nothing is new. All are just slightly modded vehicles from the original trilogy 😂
Shows how outdated the Resistance is....
Were have you seen something like the Supremacy before? Oh wait you were using meme talk instead of actually looking at It.
Oh so nothing means AT-HH Mandator-IV Dreadnought, Siege Cannons, Heavy Bombers and Supremacy itself didn't exist? M'kay
I like them all, all of them. Not just the originals but the prequels and the sequels too.
a little thing to note. the tie silencer doesnt require pilots to use space suits inside like previously seen tie models
My favorite is the ATM6 it looks great and has a lot of armor it’s design is really cool I like his two front legs
The AT-M6 is so badass i always love the walkers in starwars
With that many people aboard the Supremacy and it's attendant Star Destroyers, the 'good guys' continue to rack up quite the body count. It'd be interesting if we could work out a running total of all the deaths the various factions have caused across all the films
Putting the First Order AT-AT next to the AT-M6 makes the AT-AT look like a housecat in a pack of bloodhounds XD
My favourite...
Spaceship:supremacy, rz2 a-wing, tie silencer, the vigil, and mg100 starfortress.
Ground vehicles:atm6
The Ninka looks pretty dang similar to the battlecruiser from Starcraft.
They took the design from the viscount for the resistance ship
I loved those new RZ-2 A-Wings. But I'm still waiting to see T-80 X-Wings (I'm hoping they use the Ralph McQuarrie/Joe Johnston X-Wing more closely, since the T-75 looks so similar). Also still waiting to see B-Wing MK II
As always, an amazing video
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the TIE Silencer is the successor to the TIE Avenger, which is a mix of the TIE Interceptor and TIE Advanced.
