If I included the World Devastators I should’ve had the Star Forge... my oversight. Anyway, thanks to audible for the sponsor! www.Audible.com/eckhartsladder
I was going to mention the Star Forge, as being a more powerful version of the world devastators. What would you change if you included the star forge?
@@Apokalypse How is the Star Forge a weapon? It just makes stuff. A lot of stuff, granted, but still. The World Devastators are actual weapons because they're turned against enemy worlds, eat em up, and then churn out war materiel. The Star Forge is just a far superior version of an orbital shipyard/weapons foundry combo.
@@Apokalypse i wouldn't say it was more powerful since the Star Forge itself isn't a super weapon and more like a super factory which produce weapons, where the world devastators using the material harvesting as a weapon itself instead of nibbling on a Star
@@enisra_bowman From what I understand the star forges ability to create armadas of ships outclasses an world devastator. Possibly, as Eckharts mentioned if many of them are working in tandem the output would match it or surpass
@Ekartsladder
Some fun Trivia: The axial Superlaser on the Eclipse was never mentioned in the Dark Empire miniseries, that was purely a West End Games creation based on the art in the comics, you are welcome Star Wars Fans.
One of the ideas that got left on the cutting room floor was the rank of Commander Moff, a Moff with no Political power but would help The Emperor solidify his control over all aspects of the Imperial Military. It was suggested Moff Jerjerrod would be one of these (and his rank is called this in the radio dramas) and there is a Moff on the World Devastators in Dark Empire who would also fit this bill. But again this idea got left off the official rulebooks.
I was hoping The Tarkin from Star Wars comics would make this list, but it’s pretty much the same list I would come up with from Legends.
Since we are undergoing the pandemic you could do a video about the Crimson Forever.
The most powerful super weapon is obviously *G O N K*
Yes our lord and savior and sometimes ammunition droid
I'm of the (right) opinion that *G O N K* is space equivalent of god, and the High Ground is space equivalent jesus.
Actually, let me correct myself. Obi-Wan and Gonk droid ARE the actual jesus and God. Forgive me for my blasphemy.
He has far transcended the class of super weapon
@@rainbowappleslice he gives us the ammunition for the super weapons he is immortal he is a celestial
Eck: (Legends + Canon)
Also Eck: *gets rid of pretty much every notable superweapon in canon before getting down to business*
😂
Lol that’s on point
It’s only fair because Legends has a shit ton of super weapons that are not only incredibly powerful, but also very versatile and effective in their respective roles.
To be fair the Xystons in canon are just an uninspired Eclipse from legends, so it could count.
@@pepperedash4424 lmao the Xystons were idiotic
The Star Forge could pump out enough raw resources to manufacture multiple of each of the listed superweapons, but not enough people are ready for that conversation.
I love the idea that the deadliest superweapons are the ones capable of creating - from the World Devastators to the Star Forge.
Agreed, the star forge is really op when u think about it much like the world devastators too, both r factories that u just throw at raw resources and they create weapons. Give them enough time and u could easily overthrow the universe. Palp just shouldnt have used the devastators on such a visible world, he should have just thrown them at star systems. I am also convinced that the star forge was ultimately mobile to some degree. U dont really want to be draining ur homeworlds own star, going to make it burn out to quickly. I think the star forge was either moved back to rakata or only the original remained with the others destroyed
Agreed. No love for the Star Forge?
Agreed, really interesting concepts. There’s a reason the “destroy things better” superweapon is slowly becoming overused, the star forge and the infinite empire were some of my favorite legends content.
I consider the Star Forge the better World Devastator.
You can park it over a star and churn out endless ships and droids, It's semi-stationary nature means you don't need to risk it with every engagement the same way you do with a Devastator, just have it parked away somewhere.
You could even invest a few years and build a second Star Forge and hide that just in case you need it.
It's the ultimate weapon.
The most powerful superweapon in star wars is mickey mouse deciding what's canon and what isn't.
Replacing the previously all-powerful superweapon, George Lucas.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of works suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly retconned.
The mouse doesn’t doesn’t count lol
Everyone knows having the high ground is the most powerful weapon in Star Wars
Haha yes
Even for The big guns Like the AT AT. Heh heh
What an original joke
And the highest ground is space.
And Kamino is in the Rishi Maze, a satellite galaxy ABOVE the main galaxy!
@@justcallmeSheriff mmhmm
Best super weapon is jar jar binks being a senator.
Yeah, he brought down The Republic all by himself
I wish Disney would retcon jar jar into a secret sith Lord. That makes so much sense.i know that's not the case but... Palpatine was from naboo and jar jar was exciled living on the surface... perhaps they met lol
World devistator is like covid-19 in the way it operates. You know scientifically virus aren't living beings? Bacteria is. Look it up it's really nuts.
Dellow Felegates
@@noahcriddle5005 LOL
#1: Kenobi on the High Ground
Or anakin when smth bad happens to padme
@@mdrz Nah, Kenobi with the high Ground beaten that
@@HawkTheRed what about G O N K
Kenobi with the high ground would beat Abeloth
Watching that audible sponsorship after watching Spacedock. 😢
Yeah, it is a very handy platform for we consumers, but for the creators we must learn to be responsible consumers.
Yeah, real mixed emotions on Audible right now. On the one hand, it’s super handy, and they’ve supported a lot of YTers I like. On the other hand, Spacedock’s report on how they treat creators has me very concerned. I use Audible right now, but I’m not sure how much longer I will...
Sad that Eck is real naive at the moment till he finds out what's happening
@@frozarburst6350 Considering Eck's response to plagiarism of fan-designs by Disney Star Wars comics, i wouldn't call him naive, just not-yet-informed.
@@TRLAuthor From what I’ve seen and read, SD wasn’t really on the money with a lot of the things audible was doing ‘wrong’ for creators.
A lot of authors didn’t have good experiences, yes, that’s an absolute, this is a misstep on audible I will say, they need to be much better with communication and the like.
But from interviews and statements of read and watched from many authors, one being Craig Alanson, audible does genuinely care for its creators, it kinda has to, otherwise it’s kinda screwed.
I agree that the split between audible and creator is rather skewed towards audible, but again, I will say they do a *fantastic* job at advertising their products for their creators at no extra charge, meanwhile Google books, or others, as far as I’m aware, does no such thing.
I’m not saying Audible is perfect, and I will say it has directly supported many creators and authors who I greatly respect, so my opinion may be a bit skewed, but nonetheless I feel like there is middle ground here besides, ‘Spacedock just salty’ (yes I have heard this before) and ‘Audible is the work of the devil’.
In essence, SD had a bad experience so did other authors and creators, however we know they make up the vast minority of cases, but it is an issue for audible to work on, both for the sake of a company, and for the creators it hosts, I do think it’s a good service that cares for its creators, (otherwise that’s just bad business and...assholish), just that this is an issue to deal with.
If you wanna boycott it for that, go ahead, it is a good means to get their attention by paying with your dollar, personally, as audible is a direct way of supporting many smaller authors I respect, I will not be doing so, but I don’t blame anybody for if they decide to go ahead with it.
TL;DR: Audible not perfect, Spacedock’s experience not the norm, vote with your dollar if you wish to.
The fact that the Celestials repurposed Center Point station, a massive facility meant to create star systems, into what was essentially a warden's station really hammers the point home about just how dangerous Abeloth was.
Yeah 12 times the power of Grand master Luke...
@@antonhallergren588 I mean at the end of the day, she was a raging beast rather than a skilled fighter. Skill can trump power in many instances.
It took the combined efforts of the Jedi and Sith to take her down
@@Jungoguy I’m aware, though she was only defeated. She wasn’t killed, not truly.
@@decimation9780 skill can trump raw power, but when the raw power is that much more than yours, your fucked
The most destructive force in the galaxy has been Kathleen Kennedy
Jokes aside, great video. I remember having to take down a world devastator in Rogue Squadron in a V-Wing. Man I miss that series.
Me: watching a video
Eckharts uploads
Spam tap!!!!!!!!
Disappointed at the Audible ad. Check out how they've been treating Spacedock and other authors.
my thought too.
spacedock: audible rip you off
eck: friend of the channel
oh I'm not the only one with a similar comment, thank god
I am too, but Eck has a kid and he may have already signed a contract to do (X) videos.
What's Audible done to Spacedock? I like his channel but I haven't watched him in a little bit.
@@FromRussia_With_Love 4th newest video on Spacedock channel can explain it to You.
You you made video about, What happened to me?, the beloved Mesa Jar Jar Binks
wesa already know, yousa bombaad Sith Lord
“The ability to use the Force is insignificant compared to the power of serial escalation!”
“You underestimate my power creep!”
The superlasers are stored in the balls
How do you have that next to ur name
Love that pic of dark empire palps is showing off his new super weapon and R2 is like you wanna kill how him now to Luke
* *Sun Crusher exists* *
*Eck:* *[heavy breathing]*
*sees Audible advert. Looks at Spacedock's issues/boycott of Audible* Hmmmmm.
Dark Empire sure wasn’t messing around.....😰
Shout out to Eck for getting the sponsored content outta the way first!
Maybe the most powerful super weapons are the friends we made along the way....
ecks: audible is soooo great
spacedock: ...
In my opinion, the starforge is the most powerful just on potential alone. If it can produce a fleet, and has enough time, it would wipe out everything, like say we give it 60-80 years to make eclipses and the galaxy would be helpless
But let a fleet of Sileentium or megalithic Abominor show up and its about to be repeat of what happens to the Yuuzhan Vong and Outrider's galaxies...
Please don’t include wanna be Death Star on this list aka starkiller base
I like to think they de canonized star killer cause disney couldn't make a creative name for their new weapon.
@@spiceydice6968 Wouldn't surprise me. There the epinimy of unoriginality. Only stealing other IP's and/or buying them out.
@@kinterviewer9592 *epitome
Well if it’s legends then a simple ISD can melt a whole planet ....
I just finished listening to the original Thrawn Trilogy on Audible, loved it. I loved the new Thrawn Trilogy as well, I mean both were written by Zahn after all. The originals are definitely more, special, to me you could say.
Yet again, another masterpiece had been birthed out of this channel
Dam got excited and saw a new vid then realised "oh its the same one hes done 3 seperate times" I'll still give it a Like tho just not watching the same vid for the 4th time 😅✌
Honorable mention, the dark reaper
That thing was truly despicable and powerful. I can't even imagine what something like that but the size of a SSD could do to a star sector...
what about the Gravestone from SWTOR ? I think it is pretty powerful for a single vessel to rip apart almost the entire eternal empire fleet, or at least a big part of it
Can we get a video on counterpoint station I literally never herd of it
The Corellian Trilogy by Roger Mcbride Allen is all about it, Hans family on corellia, and Han and Leia's children whom Rey and Kylo ren are very clearly based on. It's a very underated trilogy. i like it way more than the Thrawn trilogy or Jedi Academy trilogy. i bet you could order them used online for a few bucks a piece. totally worth reading. It also has lots of Mara Jade in it and Lando Calrissian in it. which is pretty awesome.
To get the full story of centerpoint you'd also have to read the Legacy of the Force series. which is easily the best star wars series ever written. It is freakishly awesome, but is also like 7 books roughly. then... you'd have to read parts of the Yuzong Vong series which was called New Jedi Order. that series is like... i dunno, 15 books long? it's also very, very good. Then... you'd have to read the Fate of the Jedi series to understand the monster Abeloth that the centerpoint was imprisoning. and that series is like 9 books roughly. It's also quite good, even though it starts off pretty slow in the first couple books. but of all of these, the old School 90's Corellian Trilogy has a special place in my heart as my favorite star wars Trilogy, and it's also the most centerpoint focused i'd say. luckily, it's also the shortest at only 3 books that are relatively short for star wars novels.
Whatsup everybody! I hope you all had a good weekend 🙃
Eck: Audible is a good app
*Spacedock would like to know your location*
#audiblegate
How could you promote Audible? Have you not heard? ;-;
I need only one superweapon: the secret information gathering fortress, carrying all you would ever need to conquer anyone, including a clone of Thrawn for your harder questions:
*THE HAND OF THRAWN*
I wish that audible had more Unabridged Star Wars books. The version of I, Jedi (one of my favorite books of all time) is a 3 hour audio play...
Why are the fleet killer weapons like the silencers or the gauntlet from the old republic not on the list?
Heir to the Empire narrated by Marc Thompson for the win!!! I love his colder, more brutal thrawn voice to the more whimsical sounding voice from rebels.
ur redsign,upgrade,next generation ship of the Venator,hammerhead and cr90 please
You forgot PLOT ARMOR
I feel like ive seen this video 3 times now
If this had been a top 10 list, The Starforge should definitely be #6. Drawing energy from a sun, it could create unlimited amounts of ships, battle droids, etc. It could tap into the dark side and drain force sensitives of their life-force. If it had been kept hidden, it would have been the creator of a new infinite empire.
EckhartsLadder: I know that it is easy to tell the difference between the ISD-1 and the ISD-2, (The sensor tower and what not) but I am wondering what the *practical* differences are between the 2? (Which is more powerful? Which one is strategically better? Etc.) Love the channel, please continue making great content!
@@papapalps2415 Very Cool, thank you.
If I remember right isd2 has more turbo lasers but has no point defense lasers
Centerpoint could have been even more dangerous. The Republic/Alliance or Corellians didn't have Captain John "Duke Nukem" Sheridan in charge of it.
How much did you make last month?
Love your videos eck! Keep up the great work and constant uploads!!!
please make a video on the new republics Imperial star destroyers -elkos agla ,mon mothma ,anakin solo,bail organa,especially the anakin solo
Hey @EckhartsLadder if you need ideas to do a versus series again you could look at exploring Crisis' Alpha species
I love your videos my guy, and I really liked 'Battle of the Dreadnoughts', but im starting to get a little sick of seeing it in every single video you make. I know you talk about the Eclipse and I know copyright is a thing but its starting to become cliche
Hey Eckhart -- I'm curious, but have you considered doing any No Man's Sky content? There's a lot of interesting lore content in that game and the ships undoubtedly look very Star Wars-esque. Though there would be inherent difficulties in doing things like ship reviews and such, because ships in NMS are procedurally generated and there's millions of unique types.
World devastator is like the ultimate 3D PRINTER !!! 😂
A question bothering me, while watching old videos. Halo Flood vs Mass Effect Reapers. Who wins?
Heh. I got the Eclipse on that Mod Eck. Even on era 5
Man I feel like we have visited this same like like 10 times on this channel.
Can you explain Mon Calamari cities and how they were able to convert buildings into starships?
That is one of the "they just did" bits of SW as logically they can't have/didn't.
Oh and if they did, they weren't underwater skyscrapers, they were long flat appartment blocks (or the floor layout inside them makes no sense).
What about shawken device : The weapon's creator intended for it to destroy the universe, but there is no record of a successful test of any kind, nor any evidence to suggest that it was actually capable of doing so.[1] The weapon was intended to accomplish this by destroying the planet Shawken and hurling its fragments through hyperspace to collide with other planets, theoretically setting off a chain reaction that would eventually destroy all matter and end the universe, presumably allowing the birth of another universe.[2]
- Wookiepedia
And for someone to go out of their way to design such a terrible weapon of inconceivable destruction and plan to use it, what could have existed and been so dire or horrible for them to create such a thing? I only found out recently that it might have been created to act as a mercy killing for all the innocent beings in the universe while also functioning as a doomsday weapon to possibly destroy the Old Ones and their evil creations if reality we to fall under their malevolent control.
The most powerful super weapon is Ewan McGregor on top of Mt. Everest
You tempted me with the add. The books is good so far. Is heir to the empire the first story to follow Return of the Jedi?
No, the events of the several of the X- Wing Books happen before Heir of the Empire. There’s also „Truce at Bakura“ which is set immediately after Endor.
Heir of the Empire(and its two sequels “The Dark Side of the Force” and “The Last Command”) happen in 9 ABY(5 years after Return of the Jedi), Truce at Bakura happens in the same year as ROTJ and the X Wing Books 1-7 happen between 5 and 8 ABY (1 to 4 years after Endor)
Star Forge got robbed, it produced the fleet that wiped out the entire planet of Taris; that’s a Death Star that you can pull apart and move quickly without a hitch
You know, after recently watch a lot of video and read a lot of warhammer 40k sources, these weapons looks..... mild
There aren't that many powerful weapons in Warhammer 40k, the fan wanking is getting annoying.
@@papapalps2415 death star? Have you ever heard of exterminatus? Every imperium ship equip with vortex bomb can be a death star on its own, not only that, they have variant for exterminatus, blackstone fortress can destroy a star and decimated entire system,psy titan that could destroy entire army with a few shot of it's psychic energy canon, even the titan themself have no match in syar wars we haven't even talk about the terrifying necron super weapon, and many other super weapon
Star wars is a scholl playground compare to 40k
I need an animated show or a show in general set in the old republic or even rakatan times
not the star forge ? it's good to have planet destroying weapon, but fleet of millions of fully automated star destroyer can do the same thing, and is harder to get ride of
Well a devastator can produced things while also being a complete beast in battle and eck probably did not want to have 2 factories
@@historydude6022 true but the devastator hasn't nearly the same production capability of the starforge
As I've said many times, the Suncrushers resonance torpedoes would technically have been much better if you just strapped a hyperdrive to the thing and pointed it at the nearest star.
It's ridiculously OP as it is, but imagine a Galxy Gun that destroys star systems instead of individual planets...
Modifications could be made. Also, a bonus theory/fact for you why I'm here. The core design and concept of both the Resonance Torpedo and World Devastators originate from a dark eldritch deity for the former while the latter was born from the capricious minds of The Rakatans. I don't know how Palpatine managed to come across such ancient and terrible knowledge but when he learned these inventions could be updated and specialized he didn't even hesitate to begin developing them for warfare...
I feel like the Star Forge should've made the list or have been in the excluded list. It's very powerful, but also a lot of people know about it so I can see it getting excluded. Regardless though I think it's a good video.
Yeah, but it isn’t really a weapon. It’s extremely dangerous, but it’s essentially a gigantic, super powered factory. It doesn’t have any direct destructive capabilities besides some turrets for self defense, and while it would eventually consume a star, it wasn’t made to or capable of destroying a star outright. That’s my opinion, anyway.
You're still on Audible? Despite #Audiblegate?
Thank you for including the sun crusher
8:50 for a second I thought eck was about to say “let me present to you, the Nebulon-B” because there was a Nebulon-B in the picture 🤣
haven't you made this video before?
Spacedock aren't big fans of audible.
What is the footage from the Eclipse part?
A fan film that’s on his channel
Question. Biotic vs spartan, who would win
Nice new eckarts video
Let me present to you: the Nebulon-B Frigate
I wish we could have gotten to see more of the supremacy, I feel like it could have been something like what the eclipse was. Actually I'm sure it could have been since the sequels were just a shitty ripoff of dark empire anyway...
please do a video on the eye of palpatine
Who designed Centerpoint station though? Master Soon Bayts?
A group of celestials called the ones
@@Checkmate07351 you get what I’m saying about it’s design though right? It just looks... so wrong
@@Toon_Lucario I know right 😂 LMAO
I think everyone can agree that the Sun Crusher is the most ridiculous superweapon 🤣
Would the Empire been able to defeat the Rebellion if they used Venator-Class Star Destroyers?
I think Eck made a video about that? (Or at least, analyzing the role of the Venator in imperial fleets.)
@@UGNAvalon its just that, with the swarming abilities of the TIE’s, Venators would’ve been perfect for that role in the Empire
@@macwelch8599 problem is it does not fit what the empire was planning. They were planning to rule by fear which the isd did. Also venator was from the republic and the empire was trying to distant it from republic. Also the isd in my opinion is a bit more versatile then the venator so if you wanted to a rule a galaxy you would want a ship that could do everything hence why they would pick the isd compared to a more carrier like venator
@@historydude6022 The ISD could also take more of a pounding and dish out more than the Venator.
Do a revew of the ravger from kotor 2
as Your and Spacedock's patreon I feel comfortable saying- fuck Audible, they milk the creators dry. Spacedock explained the issue recently in one of his videos.
What about the starforge???
What is that footage you used for the Eclipse entry?
Great video just think you should change name cause it’s all legends weapons 😂😂😂
The Shawken device could destroy the entire galaxy at the flick of a switch
And the worst part is that it wasn't even a weapon made with malicious intent but one to be used as a last resort; one of eternal denial to an unstoppable enemy and as a mercy killing to all life in the universe...
#boycot audible please
The Emperor's Plague should be on here.
im not too into star wars legends so how much damage would the suncusher do if it hit a capital ship or a planet directly. I know it can ram though.
A capital ship would get ran through pretty easily while a planet would get wasted, depending on how fast you crash.
10 Destiny Ascension Dreadnoughts vs 10 Executor class Super Star Destroyers!!!
ME universe is just weaker than Star Wars one. It doesn't mean that it is worse, just power level is different. For example, my favorite sci-fi universe is the Expanse, but, I think even an A-wing can destroy the most powerful dreadnoughts of the UNN and MCRN.
Назар Мельник this is how I rationalize my love for different anime worlds and their characters. Some have chances at defeating other ones while other would never have a chance on their best day at even defeating a relatively "weak" (in their original world) character.
Example: My Hero Academia's [Professional Heroes vs Dragon Ball's [Demon King Piccolo].
Centerpoint station is the weapon of gods. It is so majestic that only celestial are worthy of it. It is the only weapon that can hold The Abeloth
STAR FORGE!!!!!!!!!
Could you do half life resticnace versus scp's serpent's hand, please and thank you hope you have a pleasant day
He does halo+star wars
@@mide8845 He's made content from other franchises before.
I do remember one of his scp videos being a versus so I decided to ask and I do know he does majority star wars with a little bit of halo.
@@pringlelingle6827 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the reason other franchises are rarely covered, is because they don't attract as many views as the aforementioned two. Which is unfortunate if true.
Most likely, his main view grabber is of course star wars, but this is fine most people don't think it but this really is a job and he's got to do what gets him money and that's fine in my opinion
Before I even watch the video, here are my guesses in no particular order: Sun Crusher, Galaxy Gun, World Devastators, the Rakatan Starforge, and the Dark Reaper.
You should never use Centerpoint as a weapon though, it's a galactic terraforming tool, you use it to pull planets or even stars through hyperspace to where you want them. Using it as a gun almost feels sacrilegious.
Legend has it, every time it was used as a weapon, the Celestials and Whills of The Force weeped in sadness
On the other end...
The Old Ones and their spawn cheered in dark Illathurion or in their cursed dreams
Luke Skywalker is a beacon of hope.

So it could take iron atoms and change them into gold atoms could it take say raw iron deposits and asteroid field and turn it into a star destroyer with all the computers and technology in it
My favorites STAR WARS Super Weapons :
1) World Devastators
2) The Star Forge
3)The Eclipse
5) The Malevolence
