Also professed to be rather good at spinning.
Ship has such an awesome looking design... And you had to go and ruin it with your fact and logic >:( jerk! lol
fuel??? really??? in star wars?? at least in the movies until that abomination Last Jedi they never mentioned fuel anywhere.....

Best Vader quote ever
"Now this is podracing" - Darth Vader
Now wait a minute.
That got me off guard lol
Arguably the sexiest starfighter ever to spin and crash-land into the hangar of a glorified space Transit van with guns. Now that's a good trick.
Hey now, Lucrehulks are pretty damn useful space donuts.
Also, they're more like enclosed trailers pulled by Mini Coopers than a van.
and it can spin!
Thrawn day what you want about episode one, these babies were sleek as heck.
The Naboo ships are super beautiful. Say what you will about the prequels, they brought some fantastic designs to the Star Wars universe.
The prequels: incredibly fantastic worldbuilding and exciting story hamstrung by terrible and even lazy writing.
@@thelordofcringe not as lazy as TLJ.
It makes a lot of sense, considering the generations of galactic peace. The Naboo Starfighter was build for ceremonial use instead for war.
The prequels were legitimately hamstrung by some of the worst dialogue...
I actually do prefer the prequels designs over the original. The TIE just looks way too impractical compared to the vulture. The vulture doesn't need a cockpit and it's much thicker legs have more than enough space for fuel while the engines can be in the pods. The vulture provides quite a small target. While the TIE has arguably even less room in it but is a much larger target from the side.
Also the AT-AT looked really off to me even as a kid. I felt it was really underarmed for it's size and was extremely top heavy. The AT-TE is much better armed and much more stable.
This is by far the best quote a spacedoch video has ever started with
"I'll try spinning, that's a good trick!" - Darth Vader
"Do a Barrel Roll!"
@@schwarzerritter5724 "Do an arelon roll!"
in the battle of Yavin, little annie knew that spinning was not a good trick
I can just imagine a high pitched voice coming through that voice modulator that increases depth 🤣
From an aesthetic point of view, that ship is incredibly elegant.
Oliver Hopkins I always loved the look of this ship. When I was young I think I fantasized piloting it more than the x-wing
To me I see the spitfire in it for some reason...
Elegant.
from a more civilized age
bandholm it’s the spitfire to the X-Wing’s P51 Mustang

_Daaaaamn Daniel!!_
As a fellow scifi buff, AND a fellow Daniel, i feel permitted to make this joke.
I read the intro quote in James Earl Jones's voice. That was so wrong on so many levels.
@@SledgeOfHouseHammer I could too wtf that's messed up 😂
I like how it isn't even trying to hide that it's a WW2 twin-engine fighter with some bits trimmed off :P.
Yeah! ... Crossbred with a speedboat of the same era and drawn by Moebius!
If you think that's blatant, check out the Utapaun P-38. It is *literally* a WW2-era American P-38 fighter with the wing tips and tails clipped off. Even has the same designation.
I think the N-1 draws inspiration from the Westland Whirlwind.
From the side, it looks like a Spitfire without the tail.
It Has some WWI inspirations as well The wing in The far front, gun placement etc. It is obvious in top profile while side view is pure WWII
Welcome back N1!
Even an old trashed N1 with a 3rd engine added on the bottom looks fantastic, that’s how good this ship’s design works
This video gonna get a few extra views
This was my favorite starship when I was younger.
Edit: this episode made me like it more again.
Alright. Time to fangirl over the N-1 Naboo Starfighter even more now.
But how does it turn??!?!?!?
Jk, great video.
Great seeing you here man, love your channel. You have to watch the last Boba Fett episode
I want to hear James Earl Jones reciting every memed Anakin line now...
Who's here for a refresh on the base N-1 now that Mando's got himself one?
I like the aerospike engines on these single stage to orbit ships. All the Naboo spaceship designs are beautiful.
Ksp?
Such an elegant and eccentric piece of engineering ❤️
3:36 "locate" is a strong word, Daniel. More like stumbled upon.
More like: No one consulted an engineer when they were tacking on all these extra weapons onto a bulk cargo freighter.
Give it up for TBOBF for actually making want to re-watch The Phantom Menace.
Mando, you have a great taste lol
Here after book of boba
The N-1, I think, is further evidence of Naboo's devotion to artistry. Not unlike the clothing and architecture of Naboo, the N-1 (and J-type Nubian Royal Starship) are all absolutely gorgeous, clearly designed with just as much an aesthetic goal as practical. I've always wondered if Naboo was meant to be a world of artists.
It is.
I'm here because of Mando's new ship! :)

Well done Spacedock, well done...
Most powerful starfighter in the first Rogue Squadron game as well. And when armed with seeker cluster missiles, it was the most powerful ship in Rogue Squadron 3.
I love that game! the N1 was my go-to fighter for every mission!
and it was in the game before they even released the movie
With the most insidious cheat code ever that by design no one would ever be able to guess. I really wish they had made a Rogue Squadron 4 or more.
The world could use an updated Rogue Squadron game. That was such a fun thing to play on the N-64.
@@JACCO20082012 Nah they just remaster shit like assassins creed 3 lol
Some of the best looking ships in all of Star Wars
Since you are reviewing fighters, I have a suggestion. The Rylan Gunstar from the movie The Last Starfighter. That would be an enjoyable watch!
The Naboo N-1 reminds me of the Spitfire, it always has since I first saw it in 1999, there is something about the sleek elegant shape that harks back to that iconic warbird.
mando: wizard
2022… i never thought I’d see you again girl…
Welcome back.
I’ve missed you ^~^
Also if you played the 1998 Rogue Squadron game, it was a hidden fighter you could unlock, and it was easily the best in the game.
This is what I thought about too! I loved flying this ship in that game!!
Awesome video! These fighters, X-wings, and the CR90s are what got me interested in science fiction as a kid! I don't know why, they just captured my imagination.

r/technicallythetruth
Edit: a letter
"You're technicly correct, the best kind of correct"
Honestly my favorite Star Wars ship for years. It's so unique for the series, extremely sleek and designed so differently from any other ship in the movies (aside from other Naboo ships). Wish this had been recommended months ago.
I’ve said this before but, as far as Star Wars designs go, the N-1 is pretty good. The bow mounted engines is a pretty dumb decision as it just increases the chance of getting hit. But it is more of a show piece than a military fighter given the peace going on and despite its role as security.
The weakeness mentioned is pretty superfluous since it’s clearly not meant for air-to-surface engagements and anyone who tries to use it like that is either extremely desperate or a total idiot.
Mecha-san that being said I wonder what you think of the larger x wing with the 4 wings and the larger size ship with 4 engines and guns on the end of the wings lol if that is so called the best ship I wonder why the naboo is hated on when it has a better design than any other with a small frame with 2 engines and having the guns in the middle same with the missiles I think compared to any other starfighter the naboo starfighter is hands down one of the best with only the jedi starfighters like the delta 7 and eta 2 being better but those are more of a smaller class while the only one in the same class as the n1 would have to be the z95 since it pretty much is a normal jet we see in our world besides the guns on the end of the wings rather than in the middle or on the front do you agree?
The importance of damage tolerance for starfighters is greatly overestimated. In the movies, even supposedly tough designs like the Y-wing almost always die when the enemy gets into a good shooting position. Mind you, I can't think of a good reason for the engines to be where they are, save for looks.
@@DecidedlyNinja Yaw control comes to mind as an advantage, as does limiting vibrations from the engine to the body which may help targeting and comfort.
DecidedlyNinja yea I think it has to do with looks but I believe it should help with moving around like you lower the levels of the left wing while raising the right and it will natualy glide to the left turn the left almost all the way off and the right all the way on and you should be able to turn left on a dime kinda makes more sense to me if it works like that in space for them to have them on the outside
honestly I hate how weak the ships are in the movies even some in the tv show its like you guys use a high dense metal and shields but yet one shot and they die like makes no sense the arc170 is ment to be one of the strongest ship in the star wars galaxy it not only was built with one of the best materials but also has one of the highest graded shields and yet a vulture droid can shoot them down with easy in the openings of episode 2
I felt like the pyro team in star wars just wanted to blow shit up honestly
Everyone is talking about the Darth Vader joke at the beginning.
And the joke is hilarious, no doubt.
But am I the only one who likes that he straight up pronounced the name "Vuutun Palaa"?
This and tge arc 170 are tied for my favorite fighters in star wars personally speaking.
Wizard !!!
Here after Boba Fett.. Also used a cheat codes to unlock the Star Fighter in Rogue Squadron N64 back in the day.. Yes the controls are fast and snappy!!
I just saw the new The Book of Boba Fett episode 5... this ship is going to be one of the most wanted very soon
Who else played Star Wars Starfighter? Rhy Dallows N-1 was my favorite ship
That was the first console video game I ever owned. I personally was more a fan of Nym’s Havoc. A glorious flying brick of a ship.
I always wanted to, but by the time I had the money they stopped selling N64 games. I just had to content myself with trying to solid gold Rogue Squadron.
I use it in the Gamecube rogue squadron.
someone watching this after Mando got one in The Book of Boba Fett show?
Fun to see the ship again, and it's new look and parts fit the new era it's in so well.
Ill try spinning that’s a good trick!
One of the things I picked up in my amateur study of rocketry is the design of an aerospike engine. Whereas most engines have a cylindrical nozzle that limits their most effective impulse to a specific altitude (and boy howdy does THAT get complicated fast) an aerospike engine is more efficient across a wider range of altitudes.
If going off of real aerodynamics, the N1’s engines appear to have this design philosophy in mind, which, with its aerodynamic, low-drag spaceframe, would indicate that it’s designed to be used in atmosphere just as often as in vacuum.
I really dig the design.
Now you need to do one on the roided out version of this ship
yeap
“This is totally Wizard”
-Darth Vader
I always wonder why ships in the Prequel Trilogy look so new than in the Original Trilogy. Of course, the Prequel was made after the Original but what’s the in-universe reasons.
After I saw “Book of Boba Fett” Episode 5, I finally realized why or at least for N-1 Starfighter.
Short version: quality over quantity.
Naboo ships are made domestically and used exclusive on their planet, even “hand-made” with addition of aesthetic design. Most ships you see (X-Wings, TIEs, etc.) are mass-produced from automated factories by galactic megacorporations for distribution to the Republic/Empire and various planets. Mass-produced ships are not made to look good just as long they are practical.
The TIE-series is a perfect example of mass-production with low cost. I heard later in the war, the Empire resort to use recycled metal to build more TIE fighters.
Ships made during the prequel era, (particularly in the beginning) usually had the luxury of time and resources, as it was basically the SW equivalent of a golden age.
The original trilogy however is much more run down. The Republic has fallen and the Empire has seized control. The years of warfare predating this severally weakened most production based economies, (as Palpatine intended) and what was left was almost entirely under the control of the Empire.
By limiting people's access to higher-quality materials and means of production, the Empire kept people in a poor and dependent state, limiting their ability to rebel.
The N-1 along with Amidala's royal starship is so beautifully sleek. I love the ships of Naboo. Now we have a modified version for Mando to fly. Chef's kiss.
That reminded me of that famous teaser poster of kid-sized Anakin... with Vader's shadow.
Neat
And then we had the Star Wars equivalent of turning a Ferrari into a Mustang
Easily one of my favorite starfighter designs from Star Wars.
I love the N1! As a front-line, military-grade fighter, it's poor, but as a cheap, effective fighter meant more for escort and militia duties, it's magnificent.
Cheap? It has a hyperdrive, an astromech, a shield, and torpedoes. Save for a proper air-to-ground targeting system, it has all the features of a pricey strike fighter like the X-wing.
Ironic considering it was much more expensive than many comparable fighters
@@DecidedlyNinja
The hyperdrive not only has limited range but is slow and the shields are only good against small arms. What's not mentioned is it has no armor at all and the weapons are weaker than what would be mounted on TIE fighters 30 years later.
@@jlokison the hyperdrive was much faster than an X-wing. It was not slow at all. It had limited range but that wasn’t a big deal since the back of the fighter was a docking port for fuel and power. The weapons also were not weak! The weapons even had their own shielding so they couldn’t fail or overheat.
I would increase the armament to 4 cannons and 2 launchers. Then design a specialised anti cap ship bomber to supplement it. Then you have a viable defence force.
Of course add a few actual warships as well.
You should do more Sojourn ship breakdowns! I know it's still in the early stages but I really like the worldbuilding that has already been done. Looking forward to the full release!
The language used and the accent of the voice made this video even more perfect
An elegant weapon from a more civilized age! ❤️
Twin J-Types?
You mean a 2J !?
This will forever be the Space Supra to me.
I was today years old when I found out the actual name of the Lucrehulk used to blockade Naboo.
To this day my favorite Star Wars ship. What a beautiful spacecraft it is.
Years later: a single dad and his adopted son zoom around in a modified N1 at sub light speeds
0:14 Best quote ever.
I would love to see a video on Halo’s Longsword. Barely mentioned in the novels so I’m not sure if there is other information in the other books/comics. Or maybe even the Waypoint Canon Fodder posts might discuss some of it.
Two years too early, Spacedock.
This ship was badass in Rogue Squadron 3D. Rapid fire lasers (even when linked), A-Wing level speed...it was fragile but powerful...not to mention beautiful to look at.
Been waiting for this one. Great video as always!
The Republic should have tried to mass produce this craft for their navy. This is a well rounded ship that would have done wonders I think and would have negated the ARC-170 and Z-95 types. It's a balanced fighter with a similar role to an X Wing.
Not necessarily - N-1 was quite expensive to produce and maintain due to small numbers of produced ships and production methods (they were more crafted than produced).
Also Z-95 and V-19 were far easier to acquire en masse and maintain. Z-95 could be also used as CAS with stock equipment or after minor upgrade
@@Jfk2Mr It's expensive likely due to the small planet producing them as well as the fact that it was coated in valuable metal. I think if the ship was license produced en masse by a company such as KDY or something it would be significantly cheaper due to streamline of manufacturing and tossing aside the useless chrome finish.
During the Battle of Exegol in Rise of Skywalker, you can see a few N-1 Starfighters in the background
Dank Farrik, she's fast...
Oh man! Another one of my absolute favorite ships! I'm loving it!
Also I loved your quote at the beginning!
whos here after watching episode 5 of the Book of Boba Fett, i know i had to come get a refresher on what all this ship can do normally
Yeah it’s gonna be so cool seeing it in action
I never really got into liking the ship until I played the old starfighter game for the ps2, I grew to love it's design, uses, and beauty of the ship itself
Now in EA's battlefront 2 I find myself always choosing the starfighter every chance I get on the naboo map, just sucks that though it's one of my favorite ships (like the y wing) it's in the worst prequel movie
honestly, AotC is worse than PM. but i love the prequels so idk
Who else couldent stop thinking about this is podracing in vaders voice
"Now this is Pod Racing" - Din Djarin
I remember back in the day when Ep 1 came out, I love this thing cause it was yellow. Glad to know that there were far more tactical reasons for my love of it.
I remember them selling Pepsi cans with their pictures and info on them.
Another perfectly created, edited, and narrated video!
Single most beautiful starfighter from all of Star Wars. Also one of the very few that make military sense to a degree.
Definitely my favorite starfighter, not just in Star Wars but in all of science fiction
This is the way
Damn Spacedock, you actually managed to make episode one interesting! well done!
The custom mando made brought me here, great vid!
Glad I made popcorn for this when I saw that quote at the beginning
From the opening quote I knew this was going to be a great episode!
If we get technical, there are also another few details that make this a good space dogfighter. 1. Very small side, aft, and bow profiles making it hard to hit. 2. Nose mounted weapons instead of being mounted on the outriggers means it can shoot straight and doesn't need the cannons to have micro-adjustable gimbals. Also makes it harder to disarm
Glad that this spaceship came back as Mando’s new ship
My favorite fighter craft ever lol love the yellow and mirrored bottom
Mando got his own Nubian an it looks ...Wizard 😎

I see what you did there.
And now Mando is flying his fighter it can,t be better then this : )
I hope one of this ships gets to the hands of a mandalorian some day...
Second fave fighter design behind the tie interceptor.
"The Naboo" this guy putting nods to star wars in every sentence
Honestly, best starting quote so far
It’s a beautiful star fighter.
It’s a beautiful ship.
Droid, shield, hyperdrive, proton torpedo, missiles... WTF is that thing? How much had it costed? Why was it discontinued?!
Probably because it was near 50-60 years old.
@@peterwright5358 and still better then TIE and dedicated rebellion fighters of many types.
@@TheArklyte Definitely better than the TIE-LN. The X-wing might edge it out a little bit.
50-60 age estimation wasn't far off. The N-1 was introduced in 33BBY. The model was discontinued just before 40 ABY. The Battle of Starkillerbase was 34 ABY. So it's safe to say that the N-1 is about 67 years old.

The TIE was far more maneuverable than the N1, and had more powerful weapons, though the drawbacks would make the N1 win 7 out of 10 times all things being equal. Replace it with any other TIE fighter though and the N1 would be outmatched more often.
@@peterwright5358 then why not update it? Install the FTL worthy of X-wing, shield worthy of TIE defender, add 4 more lasers and third engine... woops, it's brand new fighter:\
