+DanTHEman An armada of them with support ships and frigates for anti-starfighter measures would have been far harder to combat than Starkiller base.

We are going to be doing a 2 player play-through of the new Lego Star Wars game. During which we will answer some of your guy's questions. So if you want your question to appear in the video, reply to this comment with your question!
While the Eclipse, Sovereign, and Executors are absolute classics and I love them to death, I think that if I were a Sith Lord I'd get a Vengeance class. It just looks so cool and intimidating, and it just gives off a Sith feel in appearance. It helps that it probably has a pretty heavy armament as well.
They say the Eclipse is a combination of the Executor, and the Death Star. As they pulled the Executors length and the Death Stars size and Super Laser and put them together and make the Eclipse
The Eclipse does exist in Star Wars Canon. However, Disney decided to make it an Executor-class dreadnought rather than Eclipse-class. It served as the Emperor's personal flagship, and later served as an escape craft and base of operations for the Imperial Remnant that would eventually become the First Order. Still, wouldn't it have been cool if the Eclipse had showed up at the Battle of Exegol? Even if it was Executor-class, it could have been modified to resemble its Legends counterpart more closely.
“Emperor Palestine envisioned an entire fleet of these dreadnaughts” J.J. Abrams: “thats a pretty cool idea” Edit: I know it says Palestine but its too funny not to leave as is
Cristian Smikle I hate that JJ did it and I hate a lot of things he did with ep 9 because I enjoyed TLJ a lot. For a lot of people that de-validates my opinions lol
@@LoneWolf20213 nope it not weak to starfighter the eclipse carry atleast 500 tie fighter which is alot for the corvettes iam dont agree the eclipse have realllly strong shield it would take the corvettes forever to destroy it and the eclipse could just easly ramm all the corvettes in its way
For those old republic dreadnaughts, I’d still consider them dreadnaughts because ships the size of large corvettes were used for the same role as Star Destroyers at this point in history, so for the time I would definitely consider it a dreadnaught
Althoug it easily would fall into the "Exception Category", as it definetely was consiedered a Dreadnougth by it's time. And the Providence-calss is also there, so why not the Malevolence?
Having played Absolute Corruption mod and Imperial Civil War: Thrawns Revenge for Empire At War: FOC, I'd say the Sovereign is my favorite Star Dreadnought. It's not as powerful s an Eclipse-class, but it's smaller, faster, and definitely cheaper. I also like the design somewhat better.
One day I hope a film or animated TV show shows off the 'official' specs of one of these ships in action because watching them in action in the current film/TV media it seems they carry 30-50 fighters and have about 20 guns max.
For the geonosian dreadnoughts, I just imagine them as the giant Formix ships from ender's game because their structure looks similar to geonosian technology
There's a book that came out recently called Empire's End that details the battle of Jakku and the origins of the First Order. More importantly it makes mention that the First Order have a Star Dreadnought called the Eclipse. Whether it's the same class as the one in the EU or it's a new Star Dreadnought with it's name just being a reference, I have a feeling we're going to see it in Episode 8.
I wish I could lead a fleet of Imperial ships like the following: x1 Assertor Class (Flagship) x2 Bellator Class x2 Praetor Class x3 Allegiance Class x4 Imperial II Class x2 Interdictor Class
I would like to command my fleet of: ×1 Assertor Class SSD ×2 Praetor Mark II Class Heavy Battlecruisers ×3 Allegiance Class Star Destroyers / Heavy Destroyers ×6 Imperial Class Star Destroyers / Heavy Destroyers ×7 Victory Class Star Destroyers ×13 Lancer Class Frigates (Effective Against Fighter) ×15 Raider Class Corvette (Very Effective Against Fighter) Note: Raider Class Corvette had 6 Turbolaser Turret, over 100 meter and carred 2 Fighter The Lancer Frigates had 20 laser cannon (AA Gun).
Attrition, rebellions (not just the Alliance), guerilla warfare, loss of central leadership, etc. Alexander the Great had one of if not the best militaries of the age, but his empire died with him.
After the death of the imperator the leadership wasn't clear and admirals started killing each other because they wanted more power. Due to the chaos in the higher ranks many important battles were lost leading to the viktory of the rebellion
I get exited when I think about massive ships, such executor class dreadnoughts, firing massive amounts of shots to their enemies, completely destroying them.
+Ben's Wørld Yeah! It does not have the length over 5000 meters I think he said, but it was the largest ship in the Separatists I think Navy. I'm not too good on classifying the kinds of militaries different governments have, but I do know the classes of ships.
Ben's Wørld it has a length of 4,850 metres, close to being a dreadnought but was consided one as it was the largest ship in the separatist navy but its sister ship might be bigger then it.
Something like the eclipse star destroyer would be a cool reason for an epic space battle in episode 8 or 9. Hopefully were going to see more of these large ships in canon again ;)
The Executor and the Eclipse are my favorites ^^ It's fun destroying Empire and Alliance capital ships with the Eclipse main laser in the last mission of "Forces of Corruption" campaign.
Anyone else think the Umbarans are underused? They had so much potential. It doesn't even make sense for the republic and empire to completely ignore their highly advanced technology
That was because Poe managed to blow up EVERY cannon on top of the dreadnought (Which probably would be impossible for almost any other pilot) AND even then all but 1 of the bombers blew up before they even reached the dreadnought
The geonosian dreadnaught appears in the republic commando game, at the very start as you are being briefed on the start of the mission, basically it looks like a narrow star destroyer with the long ram thing at the front like the eclipse and it was the orangey brown that all geonosian things are
The Providence class Carrier was not as big as the Providence Class Destroyer, they were the same thing in respects of appearance but the Destroyer was larger and more heavily armed and shielded than the carrier design, and could also carry more fighters. And yes, the Providence class came in two sizes.
if I remember correctly, the Moncals but a dreadnought class ship at some point, designed to compete with the executor class. it may not be cannon though...
You forgot to mention the malevolence dreadnought used during the Clone Wars by General Grievous it featured a deadly ion cannon that could leave their enemies defenseless knocking out defenses and then destroyed one by one by their blasters it was later crippled at the hands of Anakin Skywalker and later destroyed on a moon
"We'll just put up pictures of space battles in their place"
Beautiful line
Of the Stardreadnoughts, the Executor-class was the most successful. Frankly I'd take an armada of these than something as impractical as Starkiller Base
The would probably be more affective and harder to destroy because those super weapons are all the same almost
a fleet of Eclispes would be better or at least have an Eclispe i nthe fleet of SSD's the Eclipse have interdictiing abilites.
+DanTHEman

executor super star destroyers... "almost invincible in combat"....gets destroyed by 1 ship in Episode 6

Well it did take the entire missile load of two A-Wings just to take out 1 generator.
+brawlerdude555 and the balls on top aren't even generators they are sensors
ilmevavi In the canon and in the legends they're both sensor and shield generators. Even during the Battle of Endor in Return Of The Jedi when the A-Wings took out one of the domes one of the bridge staff said "Sir, we've lost our bridge deflector shield!"

Mr 850 Hell yes! But not by Disney. after they fucked Episode VII, they can go fuck themselves
How come people on the internet only know how to bitch.

The malevolence is a Subjugator class "Heavy Cruiser"
You need to start posting more, I watch your videos before I go to bed and I’ve watched them all multiple times. POST MORE!!

That's a lot of variations of Space Pizza.
I would love them to make the First Order Dreadnought a lego set, and also for them to make the Eclipse as a lego set
Little did he know....
There would be an even bigger ship a year later.
Can you go into the history of each Executor class vessel?
That's a good idea!
TheNVSK people should know about executor II aka lusankya
Yeah I will do in the next months look forward to it!
You are my favorite Star Wars channel
What about ships like "the malevolence"?
The malevolence was pretty much a modified providence class carrier
its a Subjugator-class cruiser
it's a heavy cruiser
sorry, i thought he said carrier in the video and i went with it
What about the imperium star destroyer? Look it up, it was stupidly large.

the last time I was so early was when everybody was shocked about star wars episode 5: the empire strikes back
Shipbuilder: How many dreadnoughts do you need?
Empire: *Yes*
I fell as if the malevence in the clone wars used by the seperatists deserve a spot on this list
Quick question: why did the empire lose again?
All is as the Force wills it.
Because of Plot Armor
Attrition, rebellions (not just the Alliance), guerilla warfare, loss of central leadership, etc. Alexander the Great had one of if not the best militaries of the age, but his empire died with him.
After the death of the imperator the leadership wasn't clear and admirals started killing each other because they wanted more power. Due to the chaos in the higher ranks many important battles were lost leading to the viktory of the rebellion
The rebel has plot armor
Finally...Been waiting for this vid
Soo how many of those are cannon?
Just the Executor-class Star Dreadnought.
+Fact Free and the Seperatist Providence Class
Niki Georgiev Oh yeah, that one too :)

Thanks for the knowledge! Awesome work!
I kinda find the length thing stupid, it sucks should be Armament or Armor or however many ships it could hold.
It worked as a general thing, like how tonnage is used by navies today.
“Executor is almost invincible in combat”
*Gets destroyed by an A-Wing in ROTJ*
what about the melevolence
Othello Velgara wow, it has a length of 4.845 metres, 155 metres of the rule of being a dreadnought.
Stephen South still its could knock out the power of a fleet in 1 shot
it
Othello Velgara yes but the ion cannon has nothing to do with it being a dreadnought or not, it still has to reach the rule of 5.000 metres or more.
Ranked Games Its a heavy cruiser
1:08 So it can ram enemy vessels... like the UNSC Infinity.
what about the dreadnaught class hevy cruisers from the katana fleet and others?
There is a difference. Dreadnaught-class are heavy frigate if i rememeber well
Eliott Ducarme he mentioned every single dreadnaught except the heavy cruiser not frigate.
3 of those could fight a star destroyer they are badass
The katana fleet was propably a to big topic to put it in this video
I get exited when I think about massive ships, such executor class dreadnoughts, firing massive amounts of shots to their enemies, completely destroying them.

It's fun destroying Empire and Alliance capital ships with the Eclipse main laser in the last mission of "Forces of Corruption" campaign.
Neobahamutfr36 I'm playing it now xD the mod I'm using has all these ships and more!
I had some mods but i had to change my computer and i haven't get them yet...

LOVE THIS. I hope they make the eclipse Canon.
Great video FactFree! Please make a video about the different lightsaber forms.
I find it hard to believe that the Resistance could take one down with a dozen extremely slow bombers.
That was because Poe managed to blow up EVERY cannon on top of the dreadnought (Which probably would be impossible for almost any other pilot) AND even then all but 1 of the bombers blew up before they even reached the dreadnought
I really like the asserter class.
I would count the Arc Hammer in this, since it is over 9,600 Meyers long, but it isn’t officially classed as a dreadnought
All I would need is an Ark Mechanicus, that thing would blow all of these ships away from distances unimaginable in the Star Wars Universe.
The geonosian dreadnaught appears in the republic commando game, at the very start as you are being briefed on the start of the mission, basically it looks like a narrow star destroyer with the long ram thing at the front like the eclipse and it was the orangey brown that all geonosian things are

The Providence class Carrier was not as big as the Providence Class Destroyer, they were the same thing in respects of appearance but the Destroyer was larger and more heavily armed and shielded than the carrier design, and could also carry more fighters. And yes, the Providence class came in two sizes.
