Funny how people mispronounce the name "Executor" like "executioner" rather than "executive".
I was just going to say that 😁 tbh for years as a kid I would say it wrong, until I realised I was mixing it up with executioner
This was driving me nuts the whole video. Ask a lawyer about picking an 'executor' for your will and count how many seconds it takes to be corrected
@@TheAutoexecbatya, same. I mean, I’m good with people having different pronunciations, so I could let it slide. But still…
The narrator does this from time to time. I'm baffled as to why.
I feel Vader was one of the few who would be to fully utilize the SSD in battle. Love the ship, its only problem is that its main prey would be ships like the ISDs and larger of which the Rebels had few. There is a Legend's book called Bacta War where one SSD just completely disables an ISD in one volley of fire that I felt showed the ship's potential that we never saw on big screen. One fact people forget in Return of the Jedi is that it wasn't just the A-wing that took down the Executor but the whole Rebel fleet; her engines were on fire and multiple Rebel capital ships were sparing with the Old Lady. The loss of the bridge was just the last straw that broke her and caused it to fall to the Death Star's gravity well.
The greatest misstep of episode VI or the remaster was not having the battle be redone to have hundreds of ships slugging it out.
Imagine seeing Executor aflame as Rebel Venators and CIS ships battle and perish in a few shots.
Then the A wing sneaks in catching the battered ship off guard and BAM!
@@SudrianTalesI feel like that was Lucas original vision but just couldn’t execute it properly. It was probably frustrating as hell for him lol.
Amos, huh, I didn’t forget, I just didn’t realize! Thank you, that clears up one of the biggest irritations I had with the one-shot Rebels.
@@ronjon7942 If you watch the scene when Nebula B Frigate is blasted away at an Imperial ship at close range, that is the SSD, it was the only model with blue lights.
I think it was meant more to serve as a mobile base for fleet operations in securing entire sectors than direct combat.
The executor looks like a mouse pointer that drags everything into the trash bin
Ohhh wow, THAT’S IT!!! For years there was always something tugging at my brain, and a mouse pointer is exactly what it was. Thnx man.
Since George Lucas is a WWII buff and infused as many elements he could into Star Wars, I bet the Executor is a allusion to the German Bismarck and the Japanese Yamato class super battleships. Like the Executor, they were controversial for their time, too big to be practical, and ultimately came to anticlimactic ends from a couple of snub fighters. And the good guys with their smaller vessels [the Allies had to fit through the Panama canal] prove that big isn't always better.
The Musashi was sunk by over 400 aircraft and took 17 bombs and 19 torpedoes. The Bismarck wasn’t really much larger or more powerful than any of the other battleships of the era. The US Colorado class for instance, and the British Nelson class both had larger guns and similar displacement.
The Yamato class suffered from being trophy pieces, the Japanese didn't use them until it was too late from fear of losing them. This led to them having less experience crews and being deployed too late to make a real difference. But they terrified the fleets that went against them.
@@slimdiddydYeah, the Bismarck was no Executor in fact, but when it went to sea, it really wound up the Royal Navy. And then when it sunk the Hood with, what…three survivors?…Britain was TERRIFIED and the Navy really got frazzled until it went into Winston’s vengeance mode. So, funkypunk’s not wrong about the Bismarck’s symbolic power.
Despite tactical and strategical shortcomings, the Executior just look so cool and terrifying - like a perfect predator.
And that's what vader wants it to be
There aren't really tactical or strategic shortcomings. It was meant to serve as a mobile fleet base and it did so well. The problem is Imperials were notoriously incompetent and stupid.
So I've been thoroughly enamored with Star Wars since I was about 5 years old. I loved all the ship designs, but I really loved Star Destroyers because well... they were triangles(lol). I distinctly remember getting little mini Star Destroyers, and the Executor as my first ever star wars toys. Seeing the sheer scale of the ships on screen blew my little kindergartener mind. This video's brought back some very fond memories
You'll love the tr-3b black manta.
In legends continuity, there was an even bigger class of ship that was even more dangerous than the executor class star destroyer. Its name is the eclipse star destroyer, and this ship was taken command by the reborn emperor Palpatine, who came back to life in his clone bodies on the planet.
It was more powerful but a few kilometers shorter
the eclipse is such master piece
@@MasterDrood Would have loved to see the Eclipse on the big screen, but it never happened :(
Love the Eclipse. Screw the DS’s, the Empire got it right with that one. I hope they reopen the production line.
I have to admit, Darth Vader wasn't the only one to fall in love with this ship at first sight. The aesthetic was just that great, but as a practical weapon the Resurgence and Venator classes were far better.
Eh the venator was far too devoted as a carrier ship tbh. The reassurance class star destroyer however was a ship that took everything great about the star destroyer, improved it and practically solved all its weaknesses in one fell swoop.
I'd love to hear a breakdown of how all the super star destroyers we destroyed between canon and legends. Before this video, I thought the Empire only ever had 3 of them! Love your content! May the Force be with you!
In legends and Disney canon there were quite a few. I know more about the legends ones though: executor, lusayanka, iron fist(formerly called brawl), razor's kiss, knight hammer (modified with a stealth coating and built after the Battle of endor), terror (had a cloaking device), intimidator, annihilator, reaper, whelm, and I think there were two other named ones called Guardian and megador (or something like that). Also another called dominion.
In Disney canon I only know of the executor and eclipse by name (I think they made the eclipse just another executor class star destroyer, though the original script for episode 9 (titled duel of the fates) had it being the eclipse that was in legends with the super laser.
you'd love to hear a breakdown of how all the super star destroyers between canon and legends what? why did you say 'how' and then never explained what you were asking 'how' of?
@@jayburn00oh damn, you’re on it! Thanks.
I had no idea there were 12; I always thought it was a one hit wonder.
@@ronjon7942 those are just the executor class super star destroyers. There are probably at least five other proper super star destroyer classes, and even more star destroyer classes that are significantly larger than the imperial class star destroyer if being bigger than the imperial star destroyer is the criteria for being a super star destroyer. The more accurate categorizations are whatever the acclamator, victory, imperial, interdictor class (basically an imperial class with gravity well generators) and venator class fall under, whatever the tector is (slightly larger than imperial class, it had no hangar, appears in return of the Jedi), whatever the secutor is (bigger than an imperial class, had some similarities to the venator), battle cruisers (much bigger than an imperial star destroyer, but still significantly smaller than an executor class, includes the Allegiance class, possibly what the secutor is), and star dreadnoughts (executor class, vengeance class (an executor with anorexia), project sarlaac (literally a downscaled executor, was a test bed/prototype for the executor), the belator class, assertor class, mandator class (this is in both legends and Disney), eclipse class (first one had a super laser and both had gravity well generators), and sovereign class (basically a downscaled eclipse with gravity well generators and a super laser again)). Nearly all imperial cruisers excluding battle cruisers are smaller and less powerful than star destroyers, while rebel/new Republic cruisers vary in size and power with even some outclassing the imperial class star destroyer (mainly the Mon cal cruisers, which vary dramatically in size too). There are also more Mon cal "cruiser" classes than people realize.
Egg-zek-you-tor. Not executer.
If Padme couldn't see all of them in this life, he'll send everything to the afterlife for her to admire
Dude, it's name is "Executor" not "Executer", they are two different words with totally different meanings.
You sound like a noob through the whole video.
Imagine the Executor gets sent back in time.
It would be so mind-boggling huge compared to the Old Republic and Sith Empire ships.
Nitpick - it's ex-EC-u-tor, not "execute-er." (Yes, it was driving me up the wall hearing that.) An Executor is someone who carries out someone else's orders. (These days typically the provisions of someone's will.)
From her search history he knew Padme loved Big Black Cruisers. He did it all for her
I see what you did there 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
BRUH!!!!!
She’s what we call.. “damaged goods” and she’s for the streets.
Once you go black…
@@ald.3500 We don’t want you back
Guess Vader found a new partner for love on Galactic Tinder, after he tried burying his love for Padmé deeper into his sorrowful soul.
I'd love to see a thorough breakdown of the Eclipse-Class Star Destroyers from the EU comics Dark Empire and Empires End. I think it dsnt get the recognition it deserves
Yes. I’m new to all this lore stuff, but I think there were only two Eclipses built, shoulda been way more. As a kid, I was pretty whelmed at the Executor, but as a 55 year old, when I saw the Eclipse, I thought…”Nailed it!”
Kinda pronouncing executor wrong. As though it were executioner, but it is executor, like a ceo of a company or a person that administers a will.
There’s a game I’d love to see if it doesn’t already exist. The ability to play as Imperial warships and the ability to glass a planet Covenant style if you’re in an especially foul mood. However doing that would have its consequences. I’ve been considering developing a game like that, especially since Disney has removed EA’s exclusivity deal.
What aggravates me the most about 1 A wing pilot bringing down the super, is that rationally speaking, a ship that large would not be effected that way from a single ship. Shields or no, a ship that large would have multiple bridges and control rooms in the event of an emergency. It's like a person being killed instantly by a BB from a BB gun
It had damaged engines
Yeah, another guy posted it was actually getting a good rebel clobber, which set things a bit better for me. That single A-wing knocking down the Executor was an irritant for YEARS.
people act like all you have to do is fly an A-wing into the bridge, ignoring that the A-wing only got through because the bridge deflector shields were destroyed just previously, and THAT was only possible because the main shields were down due to Ackbar ordering the whole Rebel fleet to, and i quote, "concentrate all fire on that super star destroyer".
and had this been any other battle, even all that wouldn't have destroyed the ship, because control would have been transferred to the secondary command center. Executer didn't have a chance to do that because a few seconds of uncontrolled maneuvering was enough for it to crash into the DS-II.
so no, the Executor wasn't destroyed by an A-wing crashing into the bridge, it was destroyed by collision with the Death Star.
Unreasonably massive and highly impractical ship, but hell if it doesn’t personify the rule of cool. Always loved that damn thing.
thats pretty much what the imperial navys doctrine became. Bigger ships with lots of lasers = better.
This is so cool l love star destroyers included super star destroyers
Not a dig, just a comment, why not have more Starfighters? The Venator carried over 450 and the ISD carried 72 and the Executor barely carries double an ISD
Not called execute-er, called exec-uter. It’s part of cannon.
When star wars begun. it was execute er this new crap is simply disney making it woke like they are trying to do with slave 1
"a few pilots watching have not signed up for recruitment." Only because I have to stay home for another season to help with the harvest. Maybe next year, they say. It's been 'next year' for the past 7 years! Anyone know a good smuggler and a grandfatherly figure who could help me out here?
Thumbs down for mispronouncing the Executor. The ship has been canon for 40 years. Tagge was a General.
The SSD was terrifying but even its commander was afraid of an opponent with 150 proton torpedoes as noted in the X-Wing novels. A vessel and complement worth over $2B credits could be taken down by an opponent using roughly $5M worth of resources; proof the Empire chose fear or logic.
Historically, the progress in the avionics technologies made the battleships’ fire power priority strategy outdated.
Yeah, a lot of similarities here.
@@davidel9466 exactly.
In the old EU continuity keeping even a regular star destroyer running took enormous effort and it was common for only half of their weapon systems to be functional at any given time. I shudder to think of the resources and effort it would take to keep one of the supers working.
I mean, if *I* had a giant 19 kilometer ship that has guns everywhere you look, I think I would like it to.
Just a little nitpick, but I think your pronunciation is a wee bit off. Executor has more of a stress on the second e rather than the first E.
This acolyte will politely shut up now 🤐
This is amazing! I understand why Vader loved it so much. This is power,presence,amazing. It's about spectacle. A failure? What do you mean? Yes,Rebels won but at this ships. Super Star Destroyers. Amazing ships. Size matters.May the Force be with you too😊
I imagine Vader also prized the fact that the executer was inefficient from the perspective of an experienced tactician because Vader also didn't need strategy or even the ship to dominate the galaxy.
Compared to Vader himself even the executor was nothing but a toy.
And here I thought Ani was just overcompensating for the fact that his wang go dunked in lava.
When I saw the Super Star Destroyer for the first time on The Empire Strikes Back… It took me by surprise on how massive it was. And I could see why it intimidate anyone in the Rebellion.
Executor pronunciation: 👎 Otherwise, great video
Darth Vader hated the Death Star but was impressed with the Super Star Destroyer
I don't know how to explain it, but you're pronouncing it as if it were Executioner - it's Exek-youtor
I wondered which one was correct. I was pretty sure it was pronounced as “executive”.
That's correct. Although the way he pronounces it was the way I used to before learning of the correct way.
"Their practicality was called into question."
Kinda sums up 90% of what the Empire makes.
Disney "Cannon" is fan fiction. "Legends" is the only real cannon.
Just remember the Hoth planetary shield was strong enough to prevent any orbital bombardment. 7+ star destroyers and the Super Star Destroyer couldn't scratch Hoth's shield from orbit. This is why death stars were needed. Honestly a 'Torpedo Sphere' could have destroyed the shield. Not sure if it existed at the time of TESB.
Or arm the super star destroyer with planet killer gun like the death star it's portable than of the death star
@@rambojack5606 Yeah they did that much later. The 'Eclipse' Super Star Destroyer Has a mini super laser. It couldn't destroy a planet completely, but Hoth would be transformed into a Lava planet. 😀
In all fairness. If you had command of an SSD, never mind an Executor, who wouldn't love it?
The Executor would have survived in the battle of endor if there was tie fighters and star destroyers defended it. seeing this ship for the first time was amazing but for some reason i did not like it at first i think but today im in love with that dreadnought since the design is so cool and it made history in movies and sci-fi. keep up the amazing work on this channel. Long Live The Empire
I wonder what would've happened had a lot more Imperial Star Destroyers had been converted into Fighter Carriers.
exECutor. Like Executive privilege. Pronounce it correctly.
Finally someone pronounced the name properly!
Vader: i-its not like i like you or anything baka
I love how you titles this video on how Vader loved and then the quote “the bigger, the better” 😆😂 jokes aside, I love your content and keep the awesome work up!!! Here’s an idea : FULL potential Luke Skywalker training Anakin Skywalker since a YOUNGLING!! That would be interesting
You are pronouncing the ships name wrong.
As much as I give The Executor props for being a visual masterpiece on the silver screen and engineering, I'd still have to go with the Vengeance class star destroyer as my Imperial ship of choice.
Just wanted to say never stop posting vids we love you 💯
@mrl0wk3y33 you good dude?
Bigger isn’t necessarily better, a SSD was destroyed by a kamikaze A-wing.
Similar to a modern day US navy nimitz class aircraft carrier, it can kick ass with its fighters but a single aircraft carrier VS 20 small speed boats and 4 destroyers could take it down without a escort group to protect it.
It wasn't just an A-wing, Admiral Ackbar did command the Rebel fleet to focus fire on it, and it only went down because backup systems didn't kick in fast enough to fight off the gravitational pull of the Death Star.
The Executor-class SSD, as giant and impressive as it may have seen, was a waste. With a ship that big, it *should* have had the capability to act as a mobile space station and support for other vessels. That's the only way to justify its size and resource use, IMO.
I had a much better idea for a Super Star Destroyer in my fan ship, the Renaissance-class, for the Empire of the Hand:
The Renaissance class is a shorter, wider, heavier-set, ship than the more familiar Executor-class SSDs from the old Galactic Empire, taking several design features from the prototype Eclipse class, including integrated interdiction technology, a complement of over 400 TIE Defender fighters, and a superlaser capable of cracking a planetary crust (or a Yuuzhan Vong world ship). Like other Empire of the Hand designs, the Renaissance-class’ bridge is not located in an exposed tower, but rather deep inside the ship, with cameras and a powerful sensor suite compensating for the lack of viewports. Borrowing from Mon Calamari designs, the Renaissance-class also utilizes overlapping shield technology. As well as standard Imperial weaponry like turbolasers, tractor beams and ion cannons, the Renaissance -class also utilizes Chiss Ascendency weaponry such as Plasma ball launchers and breacher missiles.
The main difference from the earlier class (and, the “selling point” that convinced then-Grand Moff Xelarra to sign off on its creation) is the ability of the Renaissance-class to carry up to five Imperial or Spiral- class Star Destroyers on the hull itself, with the smaller (but still capital sized) ships docking on five triangular recesses on the main hull, 3 on top of the superstructure, two below. The Renaissance-class can thus act as a mobile repair station as well as the command ship. Its main hanger bay can internally carry ships up to 300 m in length (i.e. the size of an Arquitens-class light cruiser or an Explorer-class research/scout vessel).
The Renaissance also has integrated Interdictor technology, and is equipped with several cloaking devices (necessary because of the ship’s size). These two systems cannot normally be used at the same time, though Grand Admiral Thrawn remembers a few tricks learned earlier in his career to get around this limitation. As cloaking devices are double-blind - they protect a ship from detection, but said ship also cannot see outside of it when activated through conventional means, the cloak is most effectively used with the cooperation of an Imperial Knight, who can use the Force to sense outside the cloak. However, with proper timing and practice the cloaks can be used without the assistance of Force-users.
As the Empire of the Hand did not sign the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty, they are not prohibited from using cloaking devices.
Known vessels in the class:
SSD Renaissance
CO: Fleet Admiral Voss Parck (19-28 ABY), Grand Admiral Thrawn (28 ABY +)
XO: Commodore Eli Vanto (28 ABY+)
Starfighter commander: Colonel Jagged Fel (28 ABY +)
Flagship of the Navy of the Hand. Displays the same Paccosh signil as the ISD Chimaera on its hull.
Commissioned by Fleet Admiral Parck, in anticipation of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s rumoured return in 19 ABY. Thrawn (actually his clone, known as ‘Raw’nuru’ until he was ready to retake the mantle of Grand Admiral) did not take command until the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, after the Evacuation of Lysatra.
Conversion: it's 19 km's long 😯.. If there's any other Aussies from Sydney here, that's the distance between the City and Parramatta. Huge Ship! AND it's capable of going faster than light. Impressive! Most impressive!
If Vader loves large cruise crushers. What puts a big grin on Papa Palpatine’s face?
giant deadly planet destroying space balls?
Immortality and uncrippled Skywalkers😂
@@gavinjerome8385 🤣 you right

🧎♂️our Emperor he do love big sith holocrons and force knowledge…..and lady’s
Imagine Executer in the sky of earth out of nowhere
Fuck......
I want a AR that shows that
I'm with Vader, look at her she's so beautiful!
Could you please do some full breakdowns on schematics of various Star Destroyers and Super Star Destroyers?
This was so good, I watched it a few times. I was blown away when I first saw the Super Star Destroyer (SSD). It was up there with that long sequence of when Kirk (Shatner) was shuttled to the Enterprise. I just wanted more and more of this ship. A few of questions:
1. Could the SSD have taken on the asteroid field, in search of the Falcon? It did for awhile - how long could it have lasted and how much damage did it take?
2. What was the impression of staff of all ranks deployed to the ship. It must've been pure awe?
3. After the war, were they repurposed, or deconstructed?
4. Was the SSD involved in the destruction of Mandalore?
I just thought that the Empire always had this ship after the 4th movie was done. I didn’t know that the 12 super star destroyers were made after the battle of Yavin
Sadly this is the wrong pronunciation for the SSD. While I prefer this one, it is actually supposed to be like executive rather than execution.
What about the Governator?
The Executor Class is certainly a Magnificent looking vessel.
Imagine a ship like the Executor Class, but it’s 1000km long, and it’s equipped with a Super Laser that has the Godly Power of Eliminating an Entire Universe off the map of the Multiverse. This ship is The Eliminator Class Hyper-Star Dreadnought, an Incredibly Massive Super Weapon Ship that is the Largest ship in the Most Evil Faction in the Multiverse: The Void Empire. The Void Empire is ruled by The Demon lord of Villainy, Wickedness, and Destruction, who wields the Multiversal Staff of Villainy, Wickedness, and Destruction. He is known by Many Names, but in General, his name is GothDum (in the Zarvanian lore), Monkilador (by some of the Zephoan Races), & Zod Illkilmord (in the Atari Zephoan Races), but in General, he is Shadow Zero.
His Opposite is Illuminar Solaristar, or just Luminar Solaris (Wielder of the Staff of Heroism and Purity), and his Ship, the Liberator Class Super-Star Defender, is similar in appearance to a MC 80 Liberty cruiser, but also at 1000km long, and though it doesn’t have a Super Weapon, it has the most Powerful Shields of All Star ships in Multiversal Existence, able to create a Barrier that Shadow Zero’s ships cannot pass through. This shield is even able to block the Universe Destroying Beam of the Eliminartor Class.
The Executor and the Eclipse to this day are still my favorite ever star ships across all sci-fi universes. Their scale ironically was their downfall but it was also the thing that made them so great and awe/terror inspiring depending on your perspective. I dont really agree with the constant anti big ship talk personally about bigger just means bigger target and it's impractical, because if this was the case then why would any faction ever build bigger ships? i mean the Moncal cruisers werent near the scale of the SSDs but they weren't small either.
I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the theaters opening day back in 1980 with my family on Long Island. I can remember the entire audience gasp and others say OH 💩 when the full view of the Executor came on screen. Then you see Vader’s helmet looking side to side. I was 7 and was awe struck with the scene and the powerful Imperial March music playing. One of the greatest scenes in the original trilogy.
Palpatine: so, howd the date go?
Darth Vader: glorious, absolutely amazing very good....nice.
I always liked the unique starships from the lore like Starstorm one! The empire had some truly massive ships. Thanks for going in depth on them !
Just imagine if star wars had replicator tech. It would have solved alot of the empire's supply problems on ships.
THEY MADE 11 OF THOSE FUCKING THINGS!? Holy balls! I thought there was only the Executor and the Lusankya. And how could you not fall in love with such an amazing ship? The only one more awesome is the Eclipse class Star Destroyers. Plus their introduction is just amazing. EP IV wows you with the opening shot of a Star Destroyer. Then to one up it, they show you that same Star Destroyer being dwarfed by the Executor. And Rogue One then compares a Star Destroyer to the Death Star. So awesome.
Because it was big. And Vader is obviously compensating for some... Parts he lost on Mustafar.
Way off topic, but when he talked about production getting fast tracked after the loss of the DS, it reminded me to ask: How did the Death Star cruise around the galaxy? I just learned it was capable of entering into hyperspace, but where are all the engines?? What makes it go zoom?
I thought the SSD looked fantastic! I thought it was a little silly that such a small fighter crashing into it would take it down. Hundred year old battleships have redundant systems to mitigate such a thing happened. You'd figure with all the extra technology they would too.
rip A-wing bro 😂
The emphasis is on the second syllable, not the first. So, Ex-EC-utor, not EX-e-cutor.
Yeah I think it’s just a sith thing to treat life as if it’s something trivial. The rule by fear and embracing the evil of the dark is great for taking over but I guess it’s a sith thing to rule over an unstable realm. These guys live for the thrill of being betrayed and betraying those who trusted them. These guys are the type that wouldn’t feel comfortable unless they are being targeted by assassins. It’s almost impossible to imagine them ruling over a peaceful realm. It’s like they are saying you can have everything that belongs to them as long as you can destroy them. Like the necromonger creed.( keep what you kill) barbarism at his finest in an advanced multi planetary civilization. Bigger and more intimidating is better. Creating planet destroying genocidal weapons to hold the galaxy hostage and keeping order through fear is just begging for someone to rise against them.
Please, analyze everything and make holocrons about everything there is! Anything at all! Thank you!
I feel like Thrawn would have been able to use these things to their full capability. Rebellion is lucky Thrawn wasn’t behind Endor.
Overrated considering none were taken out not by capital ships combat vs massed smaller ships or other SSDs but by small unit and fighter action or captured. Its a ship that can't act unsupported and it takes way too much manpower and fleet power to support it. All its good for is orbital bombardment and carrying invasion forces but SDs and dedicated ships already do that job and are less resource intensive.
I remember when I saw the Executor come on screen for the first time I thought, "Whoa! Vader must be having a mid-life crisis."
Vader: Heated command chair.❤
One of the most formidable ships in the galaxy got totalled by a single A-Wing Zero pilot. Seems pretty weak if you ask me..
3:20 The SSD has always been 5 Miles long. Not more than that. You might be thinking of the Eclipse?
Big and impressive, sure, and an offensive powerhouse, but you can't exactly scale your defenses directly to match. Makes putting all those eggs in one basket a pretty risky move.
Isn't that what the accompanying contingent of Imperial Class Star Destroyers is for?
@@mickeyconnor830 Yeah, but imagine if you had invested all those resources into more ships, not a ridiculously huge one. The same amount of firepower, but destroying a single ship wouldn't reshape your entire naval map.
I would like a video on what you would have made if you had control of the sequeal triology?
Damn! Those numbers make my battleship, the “King Joffrey” look tiny
I always thought the 12 TIE fighter squadrons was a very low number, unless this was the fighter numbers that were on active duty at the time and the real amount on board could be three or four times that.
I wasn't a fan of Vader's ship smashing into the death star. The scale was so far off and the death star was like twice the size of the sun in that moment. Should have just blown up or show it colliding and breaking up
Did The Executor have an AI voiced by Scarlett Johansson?
Bigger was stupid. It would be better to have 12 more strike fleets than 12 SSDs.
My first inpression was, damn ! That onces big but it looks somehow Compressed in the Movie.
Unless you've done one in the past, I think you should do a video about Lira Wessex. I've seen plenty of videos of ships designed by Wessex, but never one about the life and history of Wessex herself.
Even as a kid i thought it was stupid that the Executor was lost due to a fighter crashing into the bridge. An XO could have taken command and carried on the fight.
Yea but these massive ships are simply too large to combat rebellion hit and run tactics... the best thing would be to use those materials and crew to create larger attack squadrons of imperial star destroyers and support ships to provide a much more versatile battle group
Because he needed to take his mind off of realizing Obi got with Padme many, many times and was, in fact, her true baby daddy.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
Looking at The Executor top view, it looks like the largest mouse pointer in the entire galaxy.
First time I saw the Executer I was 9 years old when Empire came out in theaters. I was feeling both Awe and terror, and I still do every time I see it!! 😂. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦🕊️
I would have built more Superstar destroyers than a damn Death Star Sidious was an idiot although I think he fears something though
Using SSD against rebels is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito. SSD should be used in capital ship combat, assaulting other star destroyers.
Technically, the canon pronunciation is Executor like in executive and not like one who executes. Yeah, I think it should be the other way too.
The Executer was just a nice ship. That's all there is to it.
Also, it's pronounced TaggE
