As a young girl, I loved reading the cross-section books. This is beautiful. I especially like how it manages to reconcile how the bridge corridor is curved in ESB, which was done so they could build around Vader's chamber and also hide that they only built one crewpit. I'd love to see more of Executor!
@@matthewwade920the idea was that if the corridor was curved and you shot the camera down the corridor towards the crew pits, you would only be able to see one side because the camera would be forced to be angled towards the right, hiding that there was no left pit. You could angle the camera like that in a straight corridor, but that would be very awkward looking, the curved corridor reconciles that awkwardness
@@tig968 Wow. And to think I thought I knew everything about The Empire Strikes Back. I never even considered that - the reverse angle. How did you find that out? Did you figure it out on our own or read it somewhere?
It was a really good design decision to make the command tower the same size as the command towers on the normal sized star destroyers. This gave you an immediate sense of scale of this thing.
Yes! Plus I get the impression the command towers were "off the shelf" hardware installed onto the Super Star Destroyers. The Imperial engineers didn't have to redesign the tower; instead use what we've already got.
Actually you are wrong, the tower is a little bit bigger and designed differently. Take a closer look at the movies and you will see it. imperial Star Destroyers I and II shared the same tower with minor differences (like the tractor beam array) but the Super Star Destroyers had a different design, similar, but not the same.
“The Rebels are alerted to our presence. Admiral Ozzel came out of Lightspeed *too close* to the System.” “H-he felt surprise was wiser-“ “He is as clumsy as he is stupid.” This is beautiful. 👍
This actually blew me away. It was the cutaway books of vehicles and locations that I grew up on after I saw the special editions in '97 when I was six. The engineering and the ships were my first love, and this is beyond what I expected it would look like when I clicked this! It's absolutely incredible!
I love this. This feels much more immense and elaborate than what Dave Filloni and his team showed us in clone wars and rebels. It always felt like he was just reusing the same cramped corridor over and over again.
PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE! DO ENTIRE SHIPS!!! I’ve been dying for someone to do full walk through of ships. It’s my dream to live on one of these beautiful vessels and I just want to see it all. From hangars and hallways to officers quarters and mess. Command areas. And even where storm troopers slept trained and got a drink after a grueling shift. This is what WE NEED.
The realism is unreal, the textures and everything is amazing. That said, what a nightmare of design. Dangerous angles, drops, edges, corners,, steps with no railing, columns at weird angles, openings in the floor for no apparent reason, uneven lighting in a black-on-black motif. Office chairs on wheels on a slippery hard floor. Clearly a government contract where they built exact to spec and not a millimeter more. An OSHA dystopian nightmare.
You did an absolutely stellar job with the detail and information. I've always wondered what would have happened if the Empire didn't follow the Tarkin doctrine with its bigger is better motto. P.S. the amount of rendering required for this must have been staggering. Thank you for all the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into creating this masterpiece.
Wow - exceptionally well done! Also, kudos on the remarkable attention to detail - even down to the rattling sound made by the mouse droids wheels as it went over the vents! Truly incredible!
I love how elegant and sinister the executor class looks. It's basically a floating fortress, clad in armor and weapons, the size of a mega city. The fact this thing carried a huge array of heavy turbolasers and missile launchers, yet you can't even see a single one when the whole thing is in frame, demonstrates the impressive size of it. I've always had a fondness for massive starships, and the reasons behind such absurd scales in designs.
In addition to the wonderfully detailed and complete modeling, i really love the slow moving POV camera. Reminds me of those old exploration FMV games like Myst, in the best possible way.
All I have to say is… I DEFINITELY underestimated the SIZE of this ship! Holy cow that bridge is tiny!! Thanks so much for making me aware of this horrible reality 🙃👍🏻
@@quoniam426Well, I was FAR more off than That, but thanks. As a Lego collector I was always taught that the bridge (the actual big block on top of the gray triangle aka the rest of the ship) was the Bridge where the Crew sits. Like the whole thing, not as shown here just a VERY small part of it. And That there was no real size difference between a normal star destroyer and the executor. Well of course I knew one was bigger, but I was not aware of how MUCH 🫡 Going to build a 1:1 Lego Executor now, be back in approx. 417 years 🤓
We only got to see 4 areas of the Executor Class Super Star Destroyer in the Empire Strikes Back: The Main Bridge Vader's meditation chamber The Hangar deck The station where Piett showed Ozzle and Vader the images they got from the Probe Droid on Hoth
Finaly somone who knows the little balls on the top of the tower are not shields domes but Comunitcations arrays, Great over view and close look at the tiny bridge, Great details.
Finally!! Somebody actually correctly identifies the sensor/ radar domes on top of the command tower as what they really are and not as "deflector shield generators". Thank you!
The main problem is 50 other canon books/sites/tech data prints/games stating they are shield projectors. Even if we obey Maximum canon (the films), the conclusion is the same. Shield projectors for the bridge. Having a super exposed bridge would require extra protection, or it's just a REALLY bad ship design.
"Correctly" 🙄 I'm sorry, but those _are_ deflector shield generators. Star Wars canon is full of silly things like that (parsecs as units of time, anyone?) 🙂
@@QuantumNova The problem is that only one was destroyed. Which suggests they have nothing to do with shields. Their placement is also consistent with how you want to place your sensors. High up to reduce blind spots, and one on each side for maximal coverage. In fact, all other capital ships in Star Wars has theirs sensors placed high according to pretty much all tech books, so why not Imperial Star Destroyers?
@@onlypeaceindeath The domes are for sensors and shields. Both. Particle and Ray shields combined are called deflectors. It's why 2 domes are up there. If one is destroyed, the deflector shield system is considered down (for the bridge/command tower). It was shown twice in Return of the Jedi, and once in Rouge One. Losing 1 dome is enough to cause major problems. Ray shields block lasers, Particle shields block kinetic projectiles. (Sadly Starwars Canon can't even agree on that lol.)
@@QuantumNova My problem with that explanation is that deflectors are pretty much always portrayed as their own type of shielding. They also never use two emitters in the rest of canon as I recall it, especially if we go by the original films and the Clone Wars series. The Naboo yacht in the Phantom Menace had its deflector emitters built underneath the hull plating. I would expect the same for other ships as well. I think the movies pulled a trick on us. The deflector shield wasn't lost because of the loss of one dome, but it's the other way around. The dome was lost because the deflector was down. As for ray and particle shields. Revenge of the Sith showed us that it can stop people, and the Clone Wars series did show us why. Ray shields can vaporize solid material, like a thermal detonator. Of course, I guess it also depends on how powerful the ray shield is for it to actually vaporize solid matter.
Just think, the Executer was only a model made for space scenes with no interior plans when Empire was made. 🤣🤣🤣 Same with the original USS Enterprise for Star Trek. Now it has complete plans made out over the decades. My god, I LOVE my fellow SciFi fans. You guys rock. I bet there is a blueprint for Bag End somewhere.
No doubt Peter Jackson has something like that; they essentially built the place full scale for the movies. Didn't he move in afterward..? Oh, and check out interviews and sketches with Andy Probert, designer of the movie version of Starship Enterprise, as well as the '-D' Next Generation incarnation. He's always careful to design the exterior model around feasible interior dimensions. A proper nerd, he is! He's also behind the Airwolf helicopter, some of the designs on the original Battlestar Galactica, and a smattering of other 70s-80s pop culture stuff.
Incredible resolution and tactile sense. So realistic that it being empty made it almost...eerie. I never knew that the bridge protruded like that, it's a bit comical.
This is really cool. I'd love to see the whole ship like this and to explore. I'd love to check out the big hangars with the AT-AT's, tie fighters etc.
As an animator myself, top-notch work of the toppest notch! As an English teacher also, I noticed that at 0:50 seconds in, 'Transiver' is probably meant to be spelt 'Transceiver' ;)
That is incredible work! Something that always puzzled me a little with the design of the bridge of all the Star Destroyer classes is the design of the crew pits either side of the central walkway. How do the command crew members access the pits during shift changes? I can't recall having seen an access door or gangway to actually get into those areas in any of the movies.
The sheer scale of this vessel is nearly impossible to wrap your mind around. It's taller than the Burj Khalifa at over 1km high and at 19km long it would take approximately 5 hours to walk from one end to the other 🤯
My dream would be a game where you play as the captain of a star destroyer (doesn't even have to be the Executor, could be a simple ISD) and where you can walk around the entire ship and explore every sinlge nook and cranny. The closes thing I can think of was walking around on the Doomgiver in Jedi Outcast. That was my favorite level as a kid.
Your animation and model-building shows a great deal of work and attention to detail. I should point out through, Vader's decor is a bit drab and the place could use a few paintings with spotlights and maybe some area rugs to liven things up.
Very interesting video!!!! Thank you very much for making it. As we are working on a Star Wars web series that takes place in the Star Destroyer Vector (Death Troopers), your video is very helping.
I suppose in-universe you could say that the ISD bridge module was designed to mimic the navigational bridge of the Venator or Acclimator. It even kinda looks like they sliced off the tip of a ven/acc bridge and grafted it on to the ISD.
Always found it weird they called SSDs "dreadnoughts." It's the exact opposite of a dreadnought, which is an "all BIG gun" ship. Whereas an SSD just mounts tens of thousands of little guns, more like an old school sailing ship. Craziest thing is that the engagement ranges shown in video games and the movies suggest that nothing onboard an SSD is able to accurately hit a target even halfway the ship's own length away...
You shouldn't use the movies and games as a reference point because they are focused on the action and take liberties with the lore and scale. The actual lore says that ship weapons have a much longer range than the movies or games depict. It is similar in Star Trek where they describe the weapons having a much longer range than is actually shown.
Dreadnought doesn’t mean all big gun ship. Dreadnought means “fear nothing.” The fact that a ship on earth at the beginning of the 20th century was called “HMS Dreadnought” and that came to mean any capital ship with lots of large caliber guns with no medium caliber guns does not define the word dreadnought for all time. In fact there were ships built with the name Dreadnought before the 1906 battleship.
@@realbaresoles2 The name as merely a name is not claimed for all time. But yes, the conceptual descriptor of an all big gun ship is indeed claimed for all time. Capital ships with mixed batteries are literally defined by the term "Pre-Dreadnoughts."
@@Peregrin3 Fair enough, but then again if the primary on screen movie is not to be taken as canon, then what should be? But that said, of course in soft sci-fi it is reasonable to employ a hefty helping of suspended disbelief. As something of a naval history buff, I just find the use of the word Dreadnought to be somewhat loaded and awkward in this context since it has such a specific meaning in reality.
@@282XVL The way I look at movies is like a Propaganda reel or a fictionalized version of a story, there is a term for it , I think it is the unreliable eyewitness or something like that. It tells the same story but some details may be off or exaggerated while the written lore is more like a history book. The movies are still canon just to be taken with a grain of salt.😅
Aren't the balls supposed to be the shield generators for the bridge tower, that would make way more senses and is kinda supported by return of the jedi By the way why do people pronounce the name x se cu ter instead of x sa cu ter, sounds way better
@SpockBorg5 It's actually not supported by Return of the Jedi. Executor was being pounded by the entire rebel fleet and it was this bombardment which took out the shields, including those protecting the command tower. A simultaneous strafing run with a B-wing squadron attacking the ship's engines allowed A-wings to take out the sensor domes, the explosion of which concurrently alerted the deck officer that Executor had "lost our bridge deflector shields!". Once Arvel Crynyd smashed his already damaged fighter into the primary bridge, Executor's fate was sealed.
There's a flaw with your explanation, loss of shielding would've already been detected long before the domes were destroyed. If the domes were sensor array the line we lost our bridge shields should've gone before the bwings blew up the domes, then afterwards piet would've started shouting intensify forward batteries. It can be inferred that the shields loss power before they could recover, that why the b wings were able to knock out the shield domes. By canon rules since the domes were destroyed before the bridge officer declared they loss bridge shielding then by inference the domes being shield generators are canon. With regards to other item, it technically right that this was the correct pronunciation, but it sounds more like the name of an office position rather than a menacing engine of death. Y guess is it was meant to be called executioner, but this was a boo boo that slipped through the cracks
Maybe! Right now I'm working on Jabba's Sail Barge and I have a few other things on my list I'd like to do, but I will probably visit other parts of the Star Destroyers at some point!

But that said, of course in soft sci-fi it is reasonable to employ a hefty helping of suspended disbelief. As something of a naval history buff, I just find the use of the word Dreadnought to be somewhat loaded and awkward in this context since it has such a specific meaning in reality.
@@282XVL The way I look at movies is like a Propaganda reel or a fictionalized version of a story, there is a term for it , I think it is the unreliable eyewitness or something like that. It tells the same story but some details may be off or exaggerated while the written lore is more like a history book. The movies are still canon just to be taken with a grain of salt.😅
I wish Haynes did a book about Imperial Star Destroyers
Really well done, thank you :)
Wonderful, thank you.
I can so imagine some bored imperial admirals having a Battlefront I - splitscreen party
Aren't the balls supposed to be the shield generators for the bridge tower, that would make way more senses and is kinda supported by return of the jedi
By the way why do people pronounce the name x se cu ter instead of x sa cu ter, sounds way better
Because that's not how it's pronouned. There is no such word. "Executioner" would be the word you're thinking of using in that sense.
@SpockBorg5
It's actually not supported by Return of the Jedi. Executor was being pounded by the entire rebel fleet and it was this bombardment which took out the shields, including those protecting the command tower. A simultaneous strafing run with a B-wing squadron attacking the ship's engines allowed A-wings to take out the sensor domes, the explosion of which concurrently alerted the deck officer that Executor had "lost our bridge deflector shields!".
Once Arvel Crynyd smashed his already damaged fighter into the primary bridge, Executor's fate was sealed.
There's a flaw with your explanation, loss of shielding would've already been detected long before the domes were destroyed. If the domes were sensor array the line we lost our bridge shields should've gone before the bwings blew up the domes, then afterwards piet would've started shouting intensify forward batteries. It can be inferred that the shields loss power before they could recover, that why the b wings were able to knock out the shield domes. By canon rules since the domes were destroyed before the bridge officer declared they loss bridge shielding then by inference the domes being shield generators are canon.
With regards to other item, it technically right that this was the correct pronunciation, but it sounds more like the name of an office position rather than a menacing engine of death. Y guess is it was meant to be called executioner, but this was a boo boo that slipped through the cracks
I would like to see a complete walkthrough
Loved it!! This is hours shorter than hoped!!! will there be any other detailed tours through the Star Destroyer?
Maybe! Right now I'm working on Jabba's Sail Barge and I have a few other things on my list I'd like to do, but I will probably visit other parts of the Star Destroyers at some point!
I never realized how small the bridge is compared to the rest of the ship
How the F did I just discover you now 😮😮😮😮
Subbed and binge watching this is AWESOME!!!
Thanks! More videos coming soon!
@@_TheSpaceBar can't wait!!! Really incredible work. I used to flip through star wars books with interior images and decades later I'm like a kid again watching your stuff. May the force be with you, I shall be watching your career with great interest 😜
