      The starting point for Legends was the idea that it was only 5 years for the Imperials to get dangerous again, whereas Disney started with the idea that it took 30 years. Future developments in both changed that initial presumption but it was at least a richer playground going off Heir to the Empire's much less devastated imperial navy.

    And with the Imperial Civil War we once again see why the Empire wasn't going to last, like the Sith Empires of old, even after attaning victory they start infighting and turning on each other not thinking that doing so will allow their enemies to win.
    Also, is this series over? Because that closing segment with you thank us for following this journey through Legends implies it is, but I though this series was going to cover the entire Galactic Civil War which didn't offical end in Legends until 19 ABY, this video only ended at 10 ABY with Palpatine's return, there's still more stories to tell I assume.

  • @grandadmiralzaarin4962
    @grandadmiralzaarin4962 6 місяців тому +1

    A couple of edits.
    Zsinj's flagship was never stolen by the New Republic. He was recovering the wreckage of the Razors Kiss to use as a 'fake' Iron Fist he could blow up to look like wreckage of his own flagship, which he would hide at Dathomir to be repaired. This plan actually worked perfectly at the Battle of Selegis as Han and his taskforce fully believed they'd destroyed Zsinj's flagship and returned to Coruscant, while Zsinj got the breathing room he wanted to begin rebuilding.
    During the Battle of Dathomir, the Iron Fist(Zsinj's Super Star Destroyer flagship) was still in the repair yard from the sabotage and heavy damage it had suffered at the Battles of Vahaba and Selegis. Prince Isolder's 'Song of War' Battledragon strafed it while it was in dock before the main battle as well. So by the time of the Battle of Dathomir against the Hapan Royal Navy and New Republic, the Iron Fist couldn't escape and was in a badly weakened state.

    • @tweso1499
      @tweso1499 6 місяців тому

      True, albeit both have their own agendas that are separate from Thrawn (Joruus wanted to claim the Skywalkers as his own; Baylan wanted the power that’s been brewing on Peridea). C’baoth would crush Skol’s… skull in combat, but I would argue that Baylan is BARELY a better character in the Ahsoka series (RIP Ray Stevenson, taken too soon)

    Always loved that one of the inadvertently key espionage operations performed by Wraith Squadron was convincing Zsinj that they had a hyper intelligent Ewok fighter pilot (portrayed by Wedge Antilles puppeting an Ewok dummy in a TIE).😅
    And as an added bonus, Zsinj *was* actually working on a clandestine project to make unusually intelligent members of otherwise dumb races like Gammoreans, and he'd have his chief scientist killed for the "escaped Ewok."😅

They die with a violent implosion from which after shocks scream out for decades to come leaving everyone caught in between to suffer.

      @@davidordaz5251 I somewhat agree with you as I do think the empire could last a little bit longer without palpatine being the head but not that long as I always figured palpatine to be complete control freak/one is much power in himself with giving only limited groups within the government /military control largely in the way of just administration duties . But but I also think the empire should have fully collapsed after the fall of coruscant and they no longer have legitimate hold of the Galaxy or at thrawn campaign end as I think he's the last truly one who can really threatened the new Republicans control the Galaxy. Also I really didn't like dark empire I know the behind the scenes stuff with it I just don't think palpatine coming back was a good idea in that story if some of the concert find that story will play a role in many later Star wars titles into the current day. Ask for New Canon I just think it was a little bit of a a rush job here comes the continuity coming out before the force awakens as I think they should have waited a couple more years before immediately dabbing to a sequel trilogy but then why I wanted to use the actors as I think most of them are still alive some exceptions they already had parts of Georgia's sequel trilogy they could use their own trilogy definitely think it hurt the building of the world building. Since then I think they have improved it but it still has issues.
