Helicopter was something with a “closed tail rotor” meaning the tail rotor is encased in a shell to reduce wind turbulence and make the airframe more aerodynamic. Likely a Eurocopter (now “Airbus”) EC135, EC145, EC155, AS365, etc etc, or a coast guard HH-65. That’s the best i got after hearing that distinct high pitch sound.

Gungans are incredible mistreated in the fandom, they are Heroes who fought a suicide battle on a unfavorable terrain in order to save the starving human population, even if they could have faced the droids in the swamps for months or years with ease, and later in the Clone Wars they help the Mon Cala in the civil war. Even Jar Jar was an hero, people blame him because he basically give special powers to Palpatine, they forget he did it because it was the only way to save his friends from certain death.
Your not wrong there. I mean the Gungans even took down General Grevious one time. The Naboo obviously knew that the Gungans were much tougher than they looked if they thought they could hold their own against the droid army in The Phantam Menace.

Otherwise, we would have never gotten the so-called Darth Jar Jar theory.
One more point... I really did not want to say this on an open TH-cam channel. But I'm pretty sure I saw some of the Naboo officials swimming with what looked like Dolphins. Now I'm not saying Dolphins could not have evolved on Naboo too. But I found it very odd....
It was stated in TPM that the Trade Federation did send forces to the Gungan cities. They clearly knew about them and intended to wipe them out too. That said, a scarier thing is that supposedly the Naboo believed that the souls of their ancestors resided in the core of their world. You know, where the plasma they were *selling* came from? Were they selling the *souls* of their ancestors as an energy source?!? Palpatine turning out the way he did kinda makes more sense when you consider that.
If memory serves, the Gungan Grand Army were supposed to reach the high ground first for the diversionary battle, so their artillery would be more effective, but for whatever reason they ended up getting caught in a valley plain between hills
The naboo N1 fighter makes perfect economic sense for Naboo. They were anticipating a very expensive product they needed to protect, not a lot of trained fighter pilots, and an extreme preference for low casualties. At the plasma extraction succeeded, the N1 could have gone into production. They were also intended to be flying advertisements. By having the best fighters possible, they could have the smallest space force possible. All that money saved goes back to the people.
Yes... I too clicked as soon as saw those smooth lines, The way the curves blend together seamlessly and accentuate the flawless way the engines meet the body of the craft. I can just imagine a long, smooth journey inside that plane. I wonder what it feels like once you are inside. Spacious, kinda small.... Hmmmm
The N1 star fighters are simply renowned ships because they are for the royal Naboo armada. This has caused the design and construction of these ships to have immense wealth backing them, allowing state of the art technology and designs to all fit within an ergonomic and sleek shell fit for a royal escort. And they were built to end fights quickly to minimize risk to the royalty and nobility, with immense firepower and the ability to hold their own for extended periods of time if necessary. Whenever someone gets their hands on one outside of Naboo, it is treated like it is a Lamborghini. Mercs loved them because they were fast and powerful, and that more than made up for the extremely costly parts for repair. Even decades later, after the Empire rose and fell, Naboo starfighters were highly sought after. And they only got more rare and exclusive with said passing time. And we see have seen what one decent mechanic and a good pilot can do with one of these babies in Mandalorian.
You have to remember that on Naboo, the role of monarch is just a more ceremonial president. Its only a monarchy in name, not in practice. Naboo was a planet that valued democracy and the monarch was elected every 2 years and could only be relected once. Sure, it had issues with corruption, but its a stretch to compare it to something like Saudi Arabia. I think Naboo's situation is more similar to a country like Norway, but idk. Maybe the corruption on Naboo is so bad to the point were the elected monarch holds no power and that is what they are trying to hide behind the extravagance of the "monarchy".
Mostly true, but the candidates can only come from a small group of families. There is a specific group of princely houses and they all have to come from there. In addition, it really depended on the monarch, some were awful, like both of the kings in the Plagueis novel, with others being incompetent like Amidala. Yes, I know she's popular, but she was a 14 year old in charge of a planet, her talent was being noncorrupt and giving good speeches, there's more to being a leader, she was inexperienced, naive, and easy to manipulate, that's why Palpatine made sure she was on the throne, and frankly she largely operated according to what he required. Plus monarchs did appear to hold quite a bit of power, though not a lot of details were ever given.
Did the lore change? Because I read that if the monarch is more like an elected president the princes are the Governors, governing smaller areas on the planet.. It's still a democracy but it requires climbing the ranks so to speak.
*DAN* *GILROY* is awesome! I didn’t know he was married to Rene Russo until today. I only found this out because I wondered how old Rene Russo was? FYI, she’s 70.

Interesting series of thought exercises with all of these starcraft manufacturers. I liked the style of the Naboo spaceships. It was a fun callback to the Flash Gordon typs of spacecraft that inspired Lucas to create Star Wars.
Allen, I wish there was a good starship video game for the Star Wars fans. It would be fun if the game would allow you to purchase from all the different makers in the SWU. It would also be cool to let you go to planetary junk yards and repurpose and/or upgrade wrecks. Heck it would be fun just building back the ships. Oh of course Humanity FIRST!
I used to work as a chrome plater. The amount of work preparing the metal for plating was intense, dirty, and very laborious. But the results? Oh yeeeaaahhh. Did the chrome for 3 '57 chevs during my tenure...shmick!
I've been saying the Naboo are sketchy for years. The N-1 has 10 proton torpedoes. There are bombers in Star Wars that don't carry that many warheads. While there is something to be said for quality vs. quantity for fighters that seems like a lot of firepower for pacifists. And compare them to the fighters of the Clone Wars. They're on-par in capability with even the late-war fighters 10 years before it even started. Something odd had to be going on in the background.
as a CNC operator I can also add that Chromium is a Very HARD metal especially when alloyed with other elements such as Nickel, take Inconel for example.
Hey Allan- This is Literally the first comment I have ever Ever EVER made on any TH-cam video all the while having watched & subscribed to you for “longest time of anyone really, just an amazing amount of time and everyone is saying that.” 😂 And having said that, I LOVE all the overly between Star Wars stories lesson and our real world values, lives and the overwhelming value of knowledge, respect and tolerance win the day. I will sign off with the an observation that when the rebellion started it was formed by disjointed groups coming together. And if art really reflects life? Do people really look like their pets?

Back in the day, nearly everything about a Rolls-Royce was hand made and hand finished. Not just the body and interior, which were the product of outside companies. It was a result of Henry Royce's eccentric approach to engineering, so that chassis were not welded, but "stitched" together with hand-finished bolts with tapered shanks. Electro-plating was shunned in favour of wrapping thin sheets of nickel around whatever metal needed a protective coating. Innovation was shunned, but every part was painstakingly refined and developed. In the pre-1920 era, the true value of a Rolls-Royce was not in the finish, so much as in the reliability, ease of driving and relative economy of ownership.
Helicopter... Coast Guard MH-65? Or a Eurocopter EC-120. Their Fenestron ducted tail fans sound very similar and they use the same engine, though the MH-65 uses two to the EC-120s one.
Mh-65 is a Eurocopter/aerospatiale/Airbus AS-365, not an Agusta 109 or 139. Those have exposed tail rotors, the Dolphin’s is enclosed in it’s tail fin.
They aren't solid gold. It's just gold leaf. Like $2 worth of gold to do an AK. It's one of the cheaper ways to make something completely corrosion proof.
most relevant metals used and list Chromium(mentioned in video), gold, durasteel(a far more dense and tough steel), Beskar, Cortosis was used on "Super battle droids."
Did you say Padme was the youngest queen in Naboo history? Didn't she specifically say in Episode 2 that she WASN'T the youngest queen ever elected, but that she still wasn't sure she was ready?
Hey Alan! I have noticed that the audio in your videos is extremely in consistent. I'm an audio engineer based in Northern California and would be happy to put some minor post processing on the audio to help it sound more consistent video to video. Would also do it totally for free... I enjoy it too much to ask for pay for it. I don't mean this as a hit to your content because I can see the passion and care behind it. But I do wanna help make it better if I can in any way possible
If I had a nickel for every time a Generation Tech video had a suprise helicopter cameo, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice
Wow, things one didn't think about with the Naboo. That really was a sleazy move. I don't think Padme meant anything really about it. The humans also were making a major move that would likely end in death with their pilots and security forces. Right or wrong the Gungans did the battle in the open because they needed to entice the enemy to bring as much out as they could, and like I said the humans flying Starfighters were in a different terrible position. But those humans are part of why the whole thing was bad to begin with and basically caused their own problems. For Palpatine, it was on purpose for a greater plan, Padme was just following what was before and doing it for the "right reason" building up her civilization essentially. Still, shot themselves in the foot with it.
You’re saying it like Cr has similar price to Ag or maybe even Au which is definitely not the case. Stainless steel and chrome are very common and relatively inexpensive.
Is that laptop the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14? Nice choice. Been looking into getting one to replace my aging RAZER BLADE 14 (2019) or maybe waiting for the Nvidia RTX 5000 series to be released and get a newer version of the Mercury RAZER BLADE 14 with updated specs.
Here's an idea for a video. Is the force with R2-D2? His role is so pivotal in the Skywalker story, from Anakin to Luke. Do you think the force is pulling some strings, or are R2's actions solely his own?
I know this has nothing to do with it, but if you are someone inside the star wars universe without the same kind of knowledge we have, the entire Imperial Takeover feels like a Plot by the Naboo: It was the Queen of Naboo who got the old Chancellor kicked out, just so that her pal, the current senator of Naboo could take his place after which the Queen took his place as Senator, only to have the Stand-In for said Senator give the Nabooian Chancellor the emergency powers needed to build the GAR and facilitate the Rise of the Empire
Heh, I don't really think the ships themselves represent anything so sinister: they didn't have a very large standing army or defense force, so they may as well go for quality over quantity, and being a place with a big arts and craftsmanship thing going on it seems really in-character regardless. Also I dunno, maybe that plasma ball thing represents something more, like Gungans getting their fair share, we kind of next see them actually being part of the Senate delegation, anyway.
I came to know about Naboo's spaceship engineering, left with advice and hindsight on how companies often use shady marketing tactics to hook people. The true Generation Tech experience
The TEPC N1 Starfighter would have been ideal for Jedi Knights on missions, but that _even the Jedi Council_ thought that the company was sketchy tells you something. This was the same Jedi Council that was willing to overlook corruption in the Senate. They thought that Kuat systems engineering were a more ethical company.... Kuat.
Huh. He's right. I just realized that now. In Star Wars, Naboo is the equivalent of an Arabian Petrol State. It's main export is plasma which is used as a weapon and energy source by most of the galaxy, but they're not that big of an economy or military without it. That means the Trade Federation is the US horning in on the local politics to get access to the valuable resources, and the Republic is the UN!
Helicopter sounded like a business class type. High rotor speed to keep the chop chop chop sound of the blades quieter and the sound of the turbine is reduced because they land in dense cities and close buildings. Kind of like the one in the beginning of Jurassic Park that Hammond took to the island.
Naboo always felt like a mix of Canada and a small Western Europe country. Monarchy that doesn’t have much power, really cares about beauty and nature.
I’ve used Naboo as an example of settler empire in political lectures. I so loved this. I was not expecting the lies green capitalism. Always impressed even though I know we have different views.
Would like to see what happened to naboo in the galactic civil war. It's like they appear in the republic. And disappear in the empire until the end of return of the jedi.
I think you’re looking at TPEC wrong by treating them as a normal company. It’s purpose is more akin to the Springfield and Rock Island Armories or Mare Island Shipyard. They were created by the US government to produce weapons just for them, so they’d have manufacturing capability and expertise when not engaged in wars, when production would have to be outsourced to civilian manufacturers.

It was the Queen of Naboo who got the old Chancellor kicked out, just so that her pal, the current senator of Naboo could take his place after which the Queen took his place as Senator, only to have the Stand-In for said Senator give the Nabooian Chancellor the emergency powers needed to build the GAR and facilitate the Rise of the Empire
love the color on this episode.
Shot in the dark for the chopper, a bell 206B?
this is the hottest youtube thumbnail I have seen in years
its about time some one finally asks the hard questions !
Be honest, you clicked because of the thumbnail. It’s ok, I did too
Heh, I don't really think the ships themselves represent anything so sinister: they didn't have a very large standing army or defense force, so they may as well go for quality over quantity, and being a place with a big arts and craftsmanship thing going on it seems really in-character regardless. Also I dunno, maybe that plasma ball thing represents something more, like Gungans getting their fair share, we kind of next see them actually being part of the Senate delegation, anyway.
Allen sounded like a little bird that didn't have proper engine maintenance
Seems like some N1 starfighters are hitting the black market 🤔 remember seeing one Tatooine last season.
I'd ask you to cover Rendili Stardrive as part of this series.
I came to know about Naboo's spaceship engineering, left with advice and hindsight on how companies often use shady marketing tactics to hook people. The true Generation Tech experience
The TEPC N1 Starfighter would have been ideal for Jedi Knights on missions, but that _even the Jedi Council_ thought that the company was sketchy tells you something.
This was the same Jedi Council that was willing to overlook corruption in the Senate.
They thought that Kuat systems engineering were a more ethical company.... Kuat.
Huh. He's right. I just realized that now. In Star Wars, Naboo is the equivalent of an Arabian Petrol State. It's main export is plasma which is used as a weapon and energy source by most of the galaxy, but they're not that big of an economy or military without it. That means the Trade Federation is the US horning in on the local politics to get access to the valuable resources, and the Republic is the UN!
The truth of Naboo has been revealed.
Wonder where you film from. =3
The Fondor haul craft would make an excellent smuggler/bounty hunter’s ship
Helicopter guess:
-Some sort of commercial light transport
-Army transports
Thanks Spice Runner👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
loving the sick backgrounds.... could you try dressing more like somone in star wars? i dont know somthing like that is cool
Someone once famously asked "What's a Nubian?" -- I'm half convinced that the real reason TPMC exists was to provide an answer to that question.
I'd love to see a retrofitted version that's been in service for decades, a little worn down and used by a bounty hunter for example.
L/V Bags also have a lifetime warranty. I always carried them when I had jobs that required a lot of travel.
no they don't, they won't even repair the bags for free anymore unless its a manufacturing defect
@@GenerationTech Had my straps replaced twice on my overnight. So, no idea why you had issues. That sucks.
@@GenerationTech *AND a broken Zipper.
Timbuk2 bags are also awesome.
4:44 a Huey?
those are pretty common.
My God allmoust 10 hours vídeo!!!😅😅😅😅😅 i cant imagine how much work is on there!
Helicopter sounded like a business class type.
High rotor speed to keep the chop chop chop sound of the blades quieter and the sound of the turbine is reduced because they land in dense cities and close buildings.
Kind of like the one in the beginning of Jurassic Park that Hammond took to the island.
The Naboo ship reminds me of the H-1 race plane.
The Gungan HAD left the Naboo out to die. It was the Trade Federation that attacked them...
Royalist backed enterprises to help support the reach and influence of a state?
Truly peculuar.
Naboo always felt like a mix of Canada and a small Western Europe country. Monarchy that doesn’t have much power, really cares about beauty and nature.
I’ve used Naboo as an example of settler empire in political lectures. I so loved this. I was not expecting the lies green capitalism. Always impressed even though I know we have different views.
(I’d be a partisan, but I like you lol)
Theed Palace Motors are the Rezvani of the SW Galaxy.
I want a J327... That will be highly modified.
Would like to see what happened to naboo in the galactic civil war. It's like they appear in the republic. And disappear in the empire until the end of return of the jedi.
So they are like Renault of spaceships?
Bro we should go speeder biking some time
I think you’re looking at TPEC wrong by treating them as a normal company. It’s purpose is more akin to the Springfield and Rock Island Armories or Mare Island Shipyard. They were created by the US government to produce weapons just for them, so they’d have manufacturing capability and expertise when not engaged in wars, when production would have to be outsourced to civilian manufacturers.
