Honestly this is the thing that star wars does that actually angers me. I do not expect every piece of media from a long running franchise to be great (variance in quality is inevitable) or targeted at me specifically (there are other demos that might like something I do not) but theft from the fans is utterly unacceptable. If Disney likes a bit of fan work enough to use it PAY FOR IT and CREDIT THEM
Love the video, and LOVE the new Outro!!! I really wish they would just hire the artists that make these things instead of literally stealing art! Hell, at least ASK to do it for free, a lot of artists would do it for their name to be in the Credits of stuff! I hope that someone at Disney sees this happening, and actually cares.
If I created an original Star Wars character for RP in a Star Wars MMO, or Star Wars DnD, Disney instantly owns the character, 100% I didn't create the character, Disney did. That is how they think.
You are playing in their sandbox with your imagination. But its still their sand and their sandbox. You dont get to walk away from the sandbox with their sand and claim it was yours because you imagined it up. That isnt how ownership works at all.
well said, its a shame that the internet is so full of all these babys, as we can see from all the posts in the comment section, fans dont own anything and have no rights , end of story
@@peachpanzer519 They have the ultimate right, which is whether or not to consume. The customer is the lifeblood of any business. They rely on us, not the other way around.
I don't think anybody working on the movie knew what the movie was going to be at any stage of development. The sequel movies had extremely bad coordination and planning, even moreso towards the end
The director they hired wanted to make a mess on purpose he basically wants to make the most decisive movie he possibly can. It's his career goal. Then the _geniuses_ at Disney were like "bet! Here's the most iconic IP ever, rek it's shit bro"
Nah man, I'm pretty sure this has been going on since before Disney got Star Wars. Eck has some really old videos covering it. But it's been a while since he brought it up so I kinda thought they stopped. 😅
The Force Unleashed trailer is probably still the most egregious example of SW fan art theft (also a Fractal Sponge star destroyer iirc) and that was wayyy before Disney
Why? So we can see a plucky band of teenagers blow up a ship that's 2,200 meters long with a crew of sixty thousand with a kid-friendly gun and some button presses?
To be honest, the fact that these posters were leaked 5 years after the movie released makes me hesitate to blame Disney for these. They were clearly not official releases
Back in 2016 I was so disappointed by The Farce Awakens that I went home and wrote an entire SW fanfic novel (400 pages), which was finished in 2016. I handed out dozens of free copies to people, thinking nothing would come of it. Since then at least half a dozen ideas from that book have ended up in various official SW projects. Probably a coincidence, but still annoying.
@mleadenham1 You're welcome. Couldn't work out what that guy meant in his comment when he said "Why does the Star Destroyer have it's guns on the upper surface and none on the Dorsal?" And I was like, "Wait a minute?!"🤔😂
So they used a placeholder as an example for concept art that was never meant for release? What probably happened is one of their artists googled star destroyer to create an example image and just picked one while rapidly slamming out as many concepts as possible
I'm sure tons of fans would be hyped to have their works made official if Disney just asked permission and gave credit. For the other artists, how much would it really cost to pay them off for permission. In most cases it can't be THAT much especially when it's independent internet artists running around.

My theory is that after he was saved after the purge, so senator or rebel group hired these pirates to protect him, but was eventually captured by the empire or forgot about grogu, (why he was never given to the new republic after the war), and the pirates not knowing he was a jedi just kept and raised him till mando showed up, killed them and stole their kid.
@AskEck- here’s a big one. If anyone can use the force, it just depends on how much you practice, and how gifted you are. Than why can’t force be replicated in a clone, if anyone can use the force? Isn’t that contradictory
The Force is an energy field created by all living things. The concentration of midichlorians isnt uniform across all life forms. There can be trees with minimal m-counts, and there may be a Tree with substantially high M-Count. Just the same for people of all alien species. Some people got a lot, some people barely got anything. It would be my understanding that a baseline number wouldnt mean you could have Force Powers like what we see the Jedi or Sith have, but merely just exist within the living force and its energy field that binds and penetrates us all and binds the universe together. But a significant M-Count concentration would be how individuals are taken into the Jedi/Sith Order. Those with borderline concentrations would probably be the ones brought into the Guardians of the Whills, not made into Jedi but obviously taught the religious ways of the Jedi order.
I'd also like to take a second to mention how the 'Lusankya vs Reaper' piece was lazily turned into the 'Ravager' and 'Annihilator/Liberty's Misrule' pieces.
You can see an ISD use its dorsal guns in Battlefront 2 during the campaign at the Fondor Shipyard, Moff Wraith’s Star Destroyer IIRC fires the octuple barrette turrets into an MC80 and it pretty much cripples it then and there.

Solution to this: Make your fan work diverse from Starwars art direction This is like the FNAF Help Wanted poster again, Scott should have sued for HIS CHARACTER being plagiarised by fan content because that image was so close to the original that it got onto an official poster for the game
#AskEck For some dumb unknown reason The Juggernaut isn't given a lot of screen time nor is it utilized well on screen even though it's an extremely awesome and useful vehicle so what's up with that? WHY EVEN ADD THIS VEHICLE TO STAR WARS WHEN THEY'RE NOT EVEN GONNA USE IT RIGHT!!!???
For me, Star Wars is Episode 1 through 6, with Rogue One and Clone Wars thrown in. Even Battle of Endor and Caravan of Courage. Old Expanded Universe only. Everyone can take Star Wars on their own terms just like Lord of the Rings or Terminator or anything else. I dismiss most Disney Star Wars as non canon. Oh well.
Every franchise that lives as long as this one has will have its greatness on display and eventually not be so great. When people complain that episodes 7-8-9 are the worst star wars films or claim book of boba fett is worst star wars tv show or just refuse to call them star wars, I enter into evidence: The Ewok movies, the Holiday Special, The Ewoks cartoon, Droids cartoon, etc.... and suddenly when faced with the ACTUAL worst star wars films and shows do most folk let up on the hatred of the newest trilogy or newest shows. The hardest part for most star wars fans is to allow anything new into their personal definition of "Star Wars" when for me the issue is people making personal definitions in the first place. Its all star wars, the good and the bad, the written books and the illustrated comics, the games, the RP tabletop RPGs, the card games, the minifigure games, the toy lines, the movie replicas, the 501st costuming community, all of it is. But no one has to subscribe to ALL of it lol. I was perfectly happy as a kid only knowing the 1-6 and the Thrawn Trilogy/Young Jedi knights series. having never even known about all the rest i listed above. I wasnt a big fan and still am not one, of the Clone Wars animated film. But I LOVE the show it spawned. Every single aspect of the show is wonderful and fleshes out and references and cannonizes so many things from legends. But I dont have to specify that the clone wars animated film isnt star wars to me. lol. Same for folk that dont consider star wars video games as star wars, not everyone is meant to subscribe to all things star wars. not all adults i know buy many of the toys for themselves lol. I know they exist, but theres just parts of the franchise that exist for certain folk and not for others. Take it or leave it mentality i suppose. Doing so just makes me think if you did that anywhere else, like "to me, McDonalds is Big Macs, Happy Meals, and QuarterPounders only, no Filet-o-Fish or McChickens, that isnt McDonalds to me." Just sounds absurd lol.
Probably because Disney didnt own the IP yet when the subcontracted company that did hire them to provide artwork that included the ISD in question. They were paid way back then. long ago. They dont get paid twice for work they already sold them. The 3d render of the previously 2d only artwork still belongs to the IP owners. The artist just extra work fleshing out something they sold previously and no longer owned.
Part of me likes that they used fan material in official promotional materials, but there should be some kind of agreement, or position as a official ship designer for games, shows and movies
#AskEck Hey Eck, not really a lore question but did you ever play the old Star Wars Galaxies MMO? I think its one of the most forgotten/unmentioned Star Wars games out there.
The other day Nerf released an image of their new Destiny gun. Someone pointed out to Bungie that Nerf copied their art, Nerf then fixed it. Why can't all companies fix it that fast
I actually like the sequels and the tv shows better than the last two prequels, but i have three major problems with disney star wars 1. This fuckery. The uncareful plagerism. 2. Taking the comics from Dark Horse and giving them back to Marvel. I domt wanna talk shit about the marvel artists, but the artists feel uninspired compared to DH artists. 3. The games. The prequels are my least favorite trilogy, especially before i watched Clone Wars. But that was the best time for star wars games. We had a solid run from 1997-2015 with epic games. There were a lot of duds, too, but they were easily ignorable through all the gold. I was never a huge fan of the KOTOR series, the Force Unleashed series or any of the games based on the movie itself. But that was fine considering i had the jedi outcast games, the star wars pod racing game, republic commando, battlefront 1, and 2, star wars bounty hunter, etc etc etc.
#AskEck I spoke to Timothy Zahn years ago with a question. "Instead of just using ships he comes across. If Thrawn could design his own big capital ship, what would it be like?" Timothy Zahn said the Imperial Star Destroyer is the biggest practical ship. What sort of ship would you come up with? And what do you think of mine? I designed this with render made by Simon Coles: th-cam.com/video/fbbiFqOxE9U/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=gundam2jimmy

They should have used the allegiance star destroyer for they Xsyton anyways it would fit the size they were going for much better and looks amazing while still being very imperial
#AskEck Why did the First Order even think about building Starkiller Base specifically on Ilum, even though it was said that, "It is powered by the star to fire the weapon"?
The kyber crystals arent the source of power in lightsabers nor the Death Stars nor Starkiller base. They are the focusing lenses are my understanding. The sun is merely the power supply used in the case of StarKiller base.
#askeck: In season 6, episode 1 of swtcw, general tiplee says there are rumors of "an anti-clone virus, biological warfare." Is it possible that these rumors were about Dr. Hemlock's clone gas in the bad batch? We know Palpatine knew Hemlock and could have him working on it during the war for when the clones had served their purpose after the war?
Oh man, how could they? Yknow what? I really hope that they dont steal the, uh, Dreadnaught class Heavy cruiser that Fractalsponge made which definitly isnt the most beautiful fanon ship ive ever seen...and i most definitly hope they dont accidentally make it canon or something... Wink wink
I have a legal program that allows me to build anything so I have built a number of star destroyer models in it, once there is small or smaller than the Introductor class all the way up to superstar destroyers, and on a few of them, I've mirrored the dorsal and inventoral hulls with the exception of a a ventral hanger. I got the idea from a few fan films that were in the form of a documentary of the empire that follows a carrier group and the large carrier Is star destroyer shape with its dorsal and ventral holes mirrored.

Even the whole Xyston ship design is just extremely lazy. Oh yay, let's copy-paste a model we already have made and slap some giant cannon at the bottom.
I dont why people keep being shocked when this happens. Disney owns the IP. If you create something Star Wars, Disney owns it, not you. Even if it's not officially licensed work.
#askeck What is your opinion on Star wars Fanon and also do you think Star Wars should make an official What If series similar to that of Marvel's what if? If so what kind of stories would you like to see?
Much of the Canon is made up of ideas from the legends that, even though they are official products in the form of being licensed, were still made by fans, that even though they didn't make the most perfect stories you saw that they were stories made by fans for fans nowadays with few exceptions it seems made by haters for those who don't even care about franchise
They stealing Fractal's stuff again?!🤔😂 This wouldn't be the first time. Wasn't it a similar situation that got him officially involved with The Essential Guide To Warfare?

For some dumb unknown reason The Juggernaut isn't given a lot of screen time nor is it utilized well on screen even though it's an extremely awesome and useful vehicle so what's up with that? WHY EVEN ADD THIS VEHICLE TO STAR WARS WHEN THEY'RE NOT EVEN GONNA USE IT RIGHT!!!???
The short answer is to sell toys.
@ben501st But unlike TMNT, this is undeserved because the vehicle didn't get what it deserved.
For me, Star Wars is Episode 1 through 6, with Rogue One and Clone Wars thrown in. Even Battle of Endor and Caravan of Courage. Old Expanded Universe only.
Everyone can take Star Wars on their own terms just like Lord of the Rings or Terminator or anything else.
I dismiss most Disney Star Wars as non canon.
Oh well.
I agree with you. I have not watched most of the new stuff. I saw Solo and it sucked so bad I just quit. Same with Marvel and Lord Of the Rings.
Every franchise that lives as long as this one has will have its greatness on display and eventually not be so great. When people complain that episodes 7-8-9 are the worst star wars films or claim book of boba fett is worst star wars tv show or just refuse to call them star wars, I enter into evidence: The Ewok movies, the Holiday Special, The Ewoks cartoon, Droids cartoon, etc.... and suddenly when faced with the ACTUAL worst star wars films and shows do most folk let up on the hatred of the newest trilogy or newest shows.
The hardest part for most star wars fans is to allow anything new into their personal definition of "Star Wars" when for me the issue is people making personal definitions in the first place. Its all star wars, the good and the bad, the written books and the illustrated comics, the games, the RP tabletop RPGs, the card games, the minifigure games, the toy lines, the movie replicas, the 501st costuming community, all of it is. But no one has to subscribe to ALL of it lol. I was perfectly happy as a kid only knowing the 1-6 and the Thrawn Trilogy/Young Jedi knights series. having never even known about all the rest i listed above.
I wasnt a big fan and still am not one, of the Clone Wars animated film. But I LOVE the show it spawned. Every single aspect of the show is wonderful and fleshes out and references and cannonizes so many things from legends. But I dont have to specify that the clone wars animated film isnt star wars to me. lol. Same for folk that dont consider star wars video games as star wars, not everyone is meant to subscribe to all things star wars. not all adults i know buy many of the toys for themselves lol. I know they exist, but theres just parts of the franchise that exist for certain folk and not for others. Take it or leave it mentality i suppose.
Doing so just makes me think if you did that anywhere else, like "to me, McDonalds is Big Macs, Happy Meals, and QuarterPounders only, no Filet-o-Fish or McChickens, that isnt McDonalds to me." Just sounds absurd lol.
As far as I know, FractalSponge has never been a $ for his work by Disney
Probably because Disney didnt own the IP yet when the subcontracted company that did hire them to provide artwork that included the ISD in question. They were paid way back then. long ago. They dont get paid twice for work they already sold them. The 3d render of the previously 2d only artwork still belongs to the IP owners. The artist just extra work fleshing out something they sold previously and no longer owned.
Part of me likes that they used fan material in official promotional materials, but there should be some kind of agreement, or position as a official ship designer for games, shows and movies
Disney needs to go BANKRUPT
#AskEck Hey Eck, not really a lore question but did you ever play the old Star Wars Galaxies MMO? I think its one of the most forgotten/unmentioned Star Wars games out there.
5:08 you see it in the Seadfast's hangar when Rey and Kylo start circling each other. And when they Dock Oochi's ship in the hangar
There is a scene in Rise of Skywalker that shows the turbolasers firing from outside, right after the Allegiant General says "use ion canons"
The other day Nerf released an image of their new Destiny gun. Someone pointed out to Bungie that Nerf copied their art, Nerf then fixed it. Why can't all companies fix it that fast
I actually like the sequels and the tv shows better than the last two prequels, but i have three major problems with disney star wars
1. This fuckery. The uncareful plagerism.
2. Taking the comics from Dark Horse and giving them back to Marvel. I domt wanna talk shit about the marvel artists, but the artists feel uninspired compared to DH artists.
3. The games. The prequels are my least favorite trilogy, especially before i watched Clone Wars. But that was the best time for star wars games. We had a solid run from 1997-2015 with epic games. There were a lot of duds, too, but they were easily ignorable through all the gold. I was never a huge fan of the KOTOR series, the Force Unleashed series or any of the games based on the movie itself. But that was fine considering i had the jedi outcast games, the star wars pod racing game, republic commando, battlefront 1, and 2, star wars bounty hunter, etc etc etc.
#AskEck I spoke to Timothy Zahn years ago with a question. "Instead of just using ships he comes across. If Thrawn could design his own big capital ship, what would it be like?" Timothy Zahn said the Imperial Star Destroyer is the biggest practical ship. What sort of ship would you come up with? And what do you think of mine?
I designed this with render made by Simon Coles: th-cam.com/video/fbbiFqOxE9U/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=gundam2jimmy
Wait, I thought if you draw in a franchises design format, then the drawing belongs to the franchise not the artist. So what gives?
just bunch of entitled alult children bitching agian, becuase thats all they know how to do, rember we in the age of bitching and trying to make everything look bad
The ECKPIRE?
Eckhart, my allegiance is to the rECKpublic, to DEMOCRASSSEEEAAAHHHH
Generation Tech is such a better channel and takes the time to be nuanced in its takes. It also doesnt misrepresent things in order to make ragebait/clickbait type videos like this.
@Joruuscbaoth they're both good and quite different content imo
Time to crowdfund buying the Star Wars IP from Disney
Please not the Titan!!
#askeck whats your thoughts on ship combat in Battlestar Galactica? Im pretty sure you talked a lil about it in a old Vs video but it would be cool to hear your take on what they did well or didnt 👍
Digging the chiptune outro :D
Finalized Star Destroyer eh?
If they steal the design its canon!
They should have used the allegiance star destroyer for they Xsyton anyways it would fit the size they were going for much better and looks amazing while still being very imperial
Not gonna lie, I'm heavily missing the old outro music. Resonance for life my dude
If I had a nickel for each time this happened I’d probably have a dollar… no it’s not weird, it’s just embarrassing.
#AskEck Why did the First Order even think about building Starkiller Base specifically on Ilum, even though it was said that, "It is powered by the star to fire the weapon"?
The kyber crystals arent the source of power in lightsabers nor the Death Stars nor Starkiller base. They are the focusing lenses are my understanding. The sun is merely the power supply used in the case of StarKiller base.
#askeck: In season 6, episode 1 of swtcw, general tiplee says there are rumors of "an anti-clone virus, biological warfare." Is it possible that these rumors were about Dr. Hemlock's clone gas in the bad batch? We know Palpatine knew Hemlock and could have him working on it during the war for when the clones had served their purpose after the war?
Oh man, how could they?
Yknow what? I really hope that they dont steal the, uh, Dreadnaught class Heavy cruiser that Fractalsponge made which definitly isnt the most beautiful fanon ship ive ever seen...and i most definitly hope they dont accidentally make it canon or something...
Wink wink
I have a legal program that allows me to build anything so I have built a number of star destroyer models in it, once there is small or smaller than the Introductor class all the way up to superstar destroyers, and on a few of them, I've mirrored the dorsal and inventoral hulls with the exception of a a ventral hanger.
I got the idea from a few fan films that were in the form of a documentary of the empire that follows a carrier group and the large carrier Is star destroyer shape with its dorsal and ventral holes mirrored.
Hey Eck, WWII historian here. I ask you, please do not refer to the citadel and bridge of a battleship as “conning tower”. That term is used on submarines only. If you have questions about these things for future videos, please feel free to reach out, fine sir.
What happened to the outro music?
he has permission from the musician who wrote+owns the song he used to use, but there's a scummy company that buys the rights to use songs once then false copyright strikes everyone who has ever used that song on YT :/
he's explained it a few times if you look back in his videos if you want more details
tried linking video but it got caught in the auto moderation system, it's from 8 months ago and it's called "I'm being stolen from by the Orchard Music"
Star Wars is not stealing anything from anyone its the exact opposite
Even the whole Xyston ship design is just extremely lazy. Oh yay, let's copy-paste a model we already have made and slap some giant cannon at the bottom.
I dont why people keep being shocked when this happens.
Disney owns the IP. If you create something Star Wars, Disney owns it, not you. Even if it's not officially licensed work.
Dorsal cannons are the worst enemy unit in Squadrons.
Disney LOVES stealing fan work for themselves.
So with Disneys billions of dollars they can’t throw a bit of cash towards artists? 😂
This is how low we got?
Man it's getting to say "I am an Star Wars fan".
#askeck
What is your opinion on Star wars Fanon and also do you think Star Wars should make an official What If series similar to that of Marvel's what if? If so what kind of stories would you like to see?
Disney stole the Lion King story. Creater didn't care when it came out. Wish he did and sued them.
Much of the Canon is made up of ideas from the legends that, even though they are official products in the form of being licensed, were still made by fans, that even though they didn't make the most perfect stories you saw that they were stories made by fans for fans nowadays with few exceptions it seems made by haters for those who don't even care about franchise
If only Disney would steal story ideas from fans
They stealing Fractal's stuff again?!🤔😂 This wouldn't be the first time. Wasn't it a similar situation that got him officially involved with The Essential Guide To Warfare? This is of course only bad if it's an official poster, and not just a fannon 'mockup', which is still not cool if they didn't get Fractal's permission.
From the title, Star Wars has swayed so far that I don’t care. More Star Wars. MORE!
Disney as Melkor Morgoth
Did FractalSponge come out and say Disney stole this? If not, this video makes a lot of assumptions and is just ragebait.
Do have to say digging the outro music.
When did you change the outro music?
Nice music at the end of the video.
The real tragedy is you believing they wouldn't.
