      I still think the new Republic fleet and legends was better I still think that was a great disadvantage they did for the series the neuter the new Republic like they did but they could actually bring some of their old capital ships back in we could actually get to see the full on battles we want to see and that will be really good for episode 9 it would candidate give those huge battles we heard about the legends books

      I can see having a full sector fleet guarding Hosnian Prime since it is the capital and having that be destroyed. But, come on, this is the faction that took on the EMPIRE- you know, the government that built not 1 but 2 death stars, world devastators, the galaxy gun (it's the death star but a gun), the sun crusher (it's a death star, but a snub fighter), 25,000 star destroyers, probably 50-100 super star destroyers, the Eclipse, the Eye of Palpatine, and oh my god can the Empire be any more dark and edgy? Add in cloaking tech and Spaarti cloning facility on Wayland. Yet, Legends Republic won. They beat this. They beat all of this. The Canon New Republic can't keep Ackbar from getting killed off screen.

      Okay but the senate is comprised of multiple different systems who at the time of it's formation just got done being ruled over by a galactic army. Why would these planets yet again place all their power into an army that COULD be once again utilized for evil. Instead of just concentrating on building their own defense forces like is hinted at in the new novels.
      Saying that they needed a fleet to keep peace only makes sense if they know what we know as viewers. That in 30ish years time a new threat would emerge. Why would they need a fleet powerful enough to defend the galaxy, if the entire galaxy was at peace and part of this new government. The old republic seemed to chug along perfectly fine without a massive standing army until a sith lord came around to mess it up.
      Like the threat they just got done taking out wasn't from without it was from within. All the systems that banded together to remove the emperor from power were the ones that GAVE HIM THAT POWER. So to them the only way to stop a threat like the emperor from happening again is to remove the capability of a single person ever wielding that kind of power again. Whether you think that is a smart political move is up to you. However I think it is very realistic and has a lot of foundation in World history of similar things happening. Look at the US revolution than the articles of confederation that followed.

    • @michaelramon2411

      Yes, they do know what happened to the previous republic. They know that it militarized to fight a war, won the war and then never demobilized. The Galactic Republic died specifically and as a direct result of the fact that it DIDN'T demilitarize once the threat was over. The Canon New Republic leaders did everything in their power to make sure that didn't happen again, and probably went too far overboard, but their knowledge of in-universe history encouraged that behavior, not discouraged it.

    In my head: The New Republic Military is a fraction of the Galactic Republic Clone Army. The First Order Military is smaller than the NR's (But far superior in technology). But there is enough military force to reclaim the most populated areas of the galaxy. That gives you an idea of how big it is. Some of the fleet did survive the destruction and what's left was relocated to protect surviving senator homeworlds.

    I find it strange that galactic governments would consolidate their forces around obvious targets. I know this is the Pearl Harbor cliche we see constantly in fiction but I sympathize with Eck on this, legends was more logical. The EU/legends had fleets divided and had mass numbers of task force and manageable forces that came from system, sector, and regional forces. If there is a sizable fleet anywhere in the galaxy after the loss of the capital it will probably be near Mon Cal. That way any competent leaders would/should organize quickly around a strong position. I ask Eck, do you see a potential leadership rift between new fleet and army commanders who survived and the old experienced rebel alliance leadership?

    • @lordfrostwind3151

      Total headcanon, but I remember reading that the Republic Senate wasn't a full-time body, they'd meet a few times a year. It could be that the fleet would be present heavily at the capital as security and also for propaganda purposes to show off the fleet while the senate was in session. After the destruction of Hosnia Prime the First Order blitzed the main naval bases and industrial worlds for the Republic like Mon Cala or Corellia and used their hyperspace trackers to hunt down the Republic navy's hidden rally and fall back positions, which would likely sow further confusion as individual commanders become paranoid at the prospect of saboteurs and spies among their ranks causing the Republic fleet survivors to scatter even further. Sorry for the dissertation dump.

      Granted there is little chance they could conquer the galaxy in that short of a time frame, but hear me out, if the objective is not to take and hold territory but just to dismantle the Republic military in preparation for the actual invasion you could pull it off. You just have to destroy or cripple enough of the Republic and remaining loyalist worlds fleet and infrastructure (communications, ship yards, fuel depots, repair facilities, etc) to give your fleet stellar superiority over any enemy forces. Still a long shot but it is possible.

  • @michaelramon2411
    @michaelramon2411 5 років тому +2

    I'll take this opportunity to reiterate a point I have made before: The 90% demilitarization the New Republic implemented was eliminating 90% of the Rebel Alliance's maximum, galaxy-spanning-war-fighting strength (backed by over a year of overt support from thousands of systems). Keeping that entire fleet would have been enormously expensive (especially over the next 30 years) and many of those ships were modified civilian craft and weren't built for a unified supply chain. The sensible thing for them to do would be to sell off or scrap most of the converted vehicles and keep a relatively small core of elite, purpose-built warships, capable of taking on an Imperial fleet or two. As the decades went on and it became clear that no fleet capable of challenging them existed, they could parse the capital ships down a bit further. We know that new types of frigates and fighters were produced, which would be both much cheaper than heavy capital ships and a much better fit for the type of route-patrolling, anti-piracy missions the fleet would actually be performing. Clearly the Home Fleet was overly centralized, but it was only a problem because the First Order had a destroy-a-star-system-from-the-other-side-of-the-galaxy weapon, which the Republic had no reasonable way of knowing about.
    For the record, after World War II, the United States military cut its personnel by about 90% in just two years, so there is definitely real-world president for a victorious democratic power sending the troops home. Tends to be popular in election season as well.

    Thank you so much for making a video about this. If we don't have any New Republic presence in IX, I'd say it's because of poor story telling by Disney. No governmental or military faction in charge of an entire galaxy is going to have a single defense fleet located in one system.

  • @harrysmith1711
    @harrysmith1711 5 років тому

    Basically, the New Republic is the Allies after WW1, with the concordance acting as both a Treaty of Versailles and Washington Treaty, accepting the surrender of Imperial galactic authority, and limiting the fleet size and certainly what size ships could be. Of course the First Order comes along, break these treaties and the New Republic tries to get by with appeasement, resulting in a combination of the invasion of Poland and the Pearl Harbour attack with Starkillers attack and the subsequent occupation of New Republic territory. Now if they follow this trend in episode 9, the New Republics ship building will be going into overdrive and supersizing or maximising their designs.
    Another fantastic video Eck. It would be great to see this factionalism represented in episode 9, or perhaps a future animated series, with some powers resisting the First Order, some becoming galactic contenders themselves, and some joining the resurgent Empire

    I hate when a writing staff actively avoids the potential for epic battles. Not every battle has to be against absolutely overwhelmingly odds to be cool. The good guys can win in a satisfying way without the main characters doing everything themselves.
    Though I’m not planning to see IX right now, things like even a solid acknowledgement that the war has gone galactic would go a little ways towards convincing me to reconsider.

    Ships that, as you say Eck, were set aside by the New Republic would most likely be placed in either reserve or mothballs. Reserve vessels are newer model ships that can be brought up to battle standards relatively quickly. The reserve can even be divided into a active and inactive reserve, with vessels in the active reserve needing little more than consumables, crew, and minor repairs to prep them for battle. Inactive reserve ships will require more work, but would still be relatively easy to bring up to operational status. Mothballed ships are usually older ships that have come from the inactive reserve, and will generally need more work before they are ready to fight. Mothballed ships can also include unfinished hulls that were placed in storage instead of being finished.

      Basically with hyperspace tracking it becomes imperative to disguise the movement of ships, by launching and retrieving fighters from hyperspace 1 makes the F.O think that there more rebel bases than there are, a tactic the Japanese used in ww2 with drop tanks. 2 it frees up space in the more modren ships for weapons supplies etc. 3 it has some anti ship capability unlike a pure carrier even the first order drew inspiration from the venator when designing the resurgence. But you got somethings right it is older and it's weapons are underpowered compared to it's contemporaries, it could be remedied with a escort fleet and or upgrades, as there still nebulon b's still floating around the Galaxy as depicted in Battlefront 2 in this era.

    I want to say about the UNSC vs Yuuzhan Vong, I think an advantage pre and post UNSC would have is their MAC guns. While it may seem a little odd, I think the heavier mass of the rounds in comparison to say, turbolasers would initially give a huge advantage until the Vong learned to counter them. As Dovin Basals would have to put a much larger amount of power into shielding to actually catch the round compared to possibly only altering the MAC rounds trajectory somewhere else into the hull. Pre war UNSC MACs were meant for piercing heavy armor without any thought of shields, much like Vong ships. Post war UNSC use very different MACs and rounds, lighter rounds so MACs can fire several in quick succession. Combine either with AI, that could potentially predict how the dovin basals would interact with the MAC rounds. My personal belief is that initial Vong invasions would be stonewalled, but later fights would see the UNSC knocked back on their heels.

    It sucks but it is what it is. Although admittedly, it doesn't deny the possibility of the Sector Fleets, only New Republic Fleet.

    I want to see Starhawks and other NR ships in a space battle above Crait. Leia's allies trying to break the First Order's fleet but only the Falcon could pass through

    Home One itself is still around and A lot of MC80's.Maybe we will finally get to see what a StarHawk Battleship looks like.

    I hope to see the resistance fleets possibly lead by those 3 Super Star Destroyers!!!

    I would love to see a refitted Super Star Destroyer.

    I still can't wrap my head around how a single Super Star Destroyer and, like, 12 Star Destroyers can threaten the entire galaxy wherein the entire galaxy is populated by countless worlds with their own fleets of capital ships.

    I just wanna see Executors duke it out with Resurgents. That's the only thing I could possibly look forward to in episode 9
